What were your favorite celebrity portrait assignment stories ?  

My answers are three-way tie for Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel and Keith Richards.

I photographed Stevie Wonder while on staff at a large NYC newspaper.

 Ordinarily I do not feel any difference in photographing a famous face with a fabulous non-famous face, I love finding the personality moments.

Yet this was phenomenal for me, as I have been a life-long Stevie fan. And everyone should know that as nice and incredible as anyone could imagine, please times that by 100. Stevie was willing to give me as many shots as needed, plus, and I like to shoot every opportunity and angle a photo shoot will allow.

At his keyboard he played a few favorites. The reporter said “he is serenading you”— Life long fan Am I!

Billy Joel story, I had photographed Billy Joel in concert before, and wow-does he give amazing performance photo ops.  I was called by  a major out-of-town paper to photograph an interview portrait of Billy. The editor explained that they had originally sent one of their staff photographers, Billy Joel came to the door wearing sunglasses and told the photographer here take my photo, ok too late and then went back in not coming back out. This was the story third hand and I do not know the details yet-I was shaking in my proverbial boots as I drove out to Sag Harbor to meet the reporter and Billy, wondering if I would meet the same rejection?  Well, Billy could not have been more accommodating and friendly even inviting us over to his Sag Harbor apartment for additional photos.  He also played his piano for me—Go figure????Fabulous!

The Keith Richards story is simpler, he was being interviewed in his PR agents office. I set up a simple light setting in the lobby-as I was not able to shoot the actual interview.  He was soft and kind—I said to him “I’m sure all photographer’s tell you that you have such an awesome face.” He recanted, “Really, really you think so? No, pretty much never?”  So at that moment I captured his genuine appreciation smile-and a great portrait.
