Indashio’s Brad Batory wins Glam God
Above: Vivica A. Fox with Brad Batory, winner of VH1’s Glam God. I love hearing about what some of our alums are doing. First up, Brad Batory of Indashio, who styled numerous shoots for us over the years and whom we met in 2003, has won VH1’s Glam God TV show. I’m glad we […]
Meghan McCain humanizes her Dad’s campaign
One of our team, who hails from Washington state, thinks I remind her of Gov. Sarah Palin when I say, ‘You betcha,’ which I have used as part of my regular speech for around 20 years. A lot of my family is American but it’s not from that, but from a line uttered by Andy […]
Thumbs-up for Angelina Jolie’s breast-feeding
I was surprised to read in Entertainment Weekly that there is still controversy over public breast-feeding in the United States. I largely agree with Mike Bruno at EW with his reactions to the cover of Advance Publications’ W, where actress Angelina Jolie is shown in a ‘private’ photograph breast-feeding her baby. The initial reaction: […]
New York, photographed by Douglas Rimington
Every now and then, we archive things, and in doing that today, I came across these beautiful black-and-white photographs from Doug Rimington, shot in Manhattan. Some were run in the print editions of Lucire; others were not. Film, as the professionals will tell you, has more depth and character than digital photography, and I think […]
Tamara Ecclestone poses nearly naked for PETA campaign
On the Lucire site today, Croat-English TV presenter Tamara Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, has posed nude (save for a chequered flag) for PETA’s campaign featuring celebrities who would “rather go naked than wear fur”. Head over to the PETA blog for a video taken on the day of the shoot featuring […]
If you look at the shoot ‘Wednesday’s Child’ in issue 26 of Lucire in New Zealand (photographed by Doug Rimington, styled by Sara Smeath, make-up and hair by Kaori Harigae, and modelled by Clemency of Chadwick Models), you might think these are familiar. These unpublished black-and-white shots are off Doug’s ?lm camera, and we’re thinking […]
One more from our Miss Universe New Zealand ’08 shoot
Doug Rimington has a few behind-the-scenes shots from Tuesday’s shoot with Miss New Zealand Samantha Powell. I snapped one to ?nish off a roll of ?lm myself, which is below. This was shot in pretty dark conditions, f5·6, 1/30 sec, on my Voigtländer Bessamatic. Rebecca Connor, the reigning Miss Wellington and a top-?ve ?nisher herself […]
Behind the scenes on Samantha Powell’s shoot
The weather is delightful today, but we had to wait till the late afternoon (i.e. after working hours) to see any sun yesterday during Miss Universe New Zealand Samantha Powell’s shoot. She was already suffering from food poisoning so she wasn’t in the best health, but was an absolutely wonderful sport despite our dragging her […]
We’re photographing Sam, so pray for good weather
Left: It’s not even that good a quality (the technical aspects, not the subject) but this is one of the more regularly pirated shots of Samantha Powell online. Some blogging services have been kindly getting it removed from around the web on our behalf—one had this shot and another one of Jennifer Hawkins from this […]
We’re preparing to shoot Samantha Powell, Miss Universe New Zealand 2008, on Tuesday. Photographer Doug Rimington is ?ying in from Sydney tonight and I collect him at the airport in a BMW 120i Cabriolet that the company has lent to me; and the Tissot Fabulous Garden watch has arrived, delivered personally by Grif?ths McKay & […]
