By
the time we worked together on this job, Carol and Kelly were two
of the biggest cover girls in the business. They were
both terrific girls and had hundreds of covers each throughout their
careers, including many VOGUE, and other Conde Nast publications,
covers. This photo was among many photographs taken to be
used in a press kit for fashion designer, Don Sayres. Shot
with a Nikon and Kodak Tri-x film.
My
personal Carol Alt story follows: A couple of years
earlier Elite Models vice-president Monique Pillard had spotted
Carol waiting tables in a restaurant and told her to come in to
the agency. A few days later I met Carol and took her on location
for what was her first test shoot. We went to Connecticut,
to shoot outdoors.
I'd
been introduced by my friend Barry Secular, to George Martin,
who invited me to shoot at his house there if I liked. George,
soon thereafter opened a trendy restaurant in Manhattan named after
himself. One of George's tennis buddies, (they had a tennis
court at the house), was Marty. Carol wound up dating
Marty for a long time and learned a lot about real
estate and business from him. Carol is a very intelligent woman and was hesitant to even try modeling as a serious profession. Carol became one of the top cover girls
and supermodels of the eighties.
