About the photographer . .
Steve Landis shoots fashion and beauty imagery in the studio, and on location here and around the world.   New York based, Steve Landis specializes in beautifully lit images.

I was flown in from  Paris for the shoot and our model Sophie, although she is French, flew in from New York, where she was based.  As I had been living in Paris already for about a year and a half, it was always a treat to get in to London, and to speak some English.  A nice confluence of events transpired that week.  As it happened, my parents were traveling through London, and we were able to get together for dinner and the show "Cats", which was very big then.  It had not been to Broadway yet.

We had a lovely shoot, (lovely is a very English word and very apropos.)  I had the privilege to work several times with the great fashion editor Sheila Whetton.  She had worked with virtually every great fashion photographer of the 20th Century, and had seen it all.  What a joy to work with someone of that stature, and to have her on your team.  Because when you are doing these stories, its teamwork.  Barbara Sansone did a lovely job with the make-up.
