In this photographic scrapbook, fashion photographer Stan Shaffer share his extraordinary life at the nexus of art, fashion and cinema. On this incredible journey we traipse through the hottest NYC parties where everyone is somebody and they're all dressed to kill! Over his career as icon maker, Shaffer has hung out with everyone from Andy Warhol to Jerry Hall, Carla Bruni to Uma Thurman. With his fine-tuned intuition, this trendsetting photographer reveals the real person beyond these public facades. Sometimes sexy, often quirky, these images are always joyful and original.
stan shaffer is quite extraordinary, i love the picture with philippa, with a sand beard, smiling and the picture of hitchcock with her daughter nude in the front seat of a late 60s car. cars drugs and sex. the prominence of angular utopia from that time and new york fashion, are all so mesmerising.
