Angelina Jolie

During my ongoing “New Face” search for several European “Haute” swimwear clients, my makeup artist, Rita, had just worked with Angelina for her theatrical headshots. She showed me her zed card and I instantly knew I had to arrange a test shoot. Within two weeks we were shooting at my Brentwood, CA condo, as my main studio was under construction. Knowing I was extremely limited at such a small location, I decided to photograph half of the images using motion picture lighting and B&W film, in an effort to bring out Angelina’s magnificent “look” in a more classic medium.  I called her Agent with the news that Angelina was almost immediately chosen as the model for a large campaign, only to hear that a decision was made to focus only on her acting career.  This was the last time She posed for a fashion shoot prior to her meteoric rise to fame.
