Clive Arrowsmith : Fashion, Beauty & Portraits Hardback
by Clive Arrowsmith
Hardback
Description
"Clive could always come up with a psychedelic vision to suit the current mood of far-out fantasy in fashion.
In one sitting, he was able to capture not only the romance of a Dior coat but the futurism of Pierre Cardin." - Grace Coddington quoted from her book Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue. "Clive Arrowsmith is the Caravaggio of the 21st century.
He creates magic and dreams, he is the master of light." - Marcella Martinelli, Fashion director. "Clive is like the St. Francis of photography - he can charm the birds right out of the trees, but then tells better stories.
His work combines not only a creative mind and technical excellence, but most importantly, a real connection with his subjects." - Michael Daks, Professor of Photography at Paris College of Art & Istituto Marangoni, Paris. "Clive Arrowsmith's insightful portraits shimmer with artful lighting and technical mastery, reflecting his own deep humorous humanity." - Nicholas Vreeland. Clive Arrowsmith is a celebrated London-based international photographer.
