| January 25, 1994 GQ shoot with John Malkovich and Julian Sands at Smashbox put off until today because of last week's disasterous earthquake here in L.A. It is still very hard to get around and takes an hour to travel what would ordinarily be a 15 distance. John and Julian as always are easy and fun to shoot together. Later we go back to John's house for a Buzz Magazine cover shoot for their upcoming issue on the 100 coolest people in L.A.
June 28, 1993 Vogue Magazine shoot of John Malkovich's house in L.A. with Hamish Bowles as shootings editor. John has decorated the entire house himself. Very Moorish. Amazing eye for details. Remarkable taste. I do a nice job faking the fact that I have never shot interiors before. No one seems to notice. Later we all have dinner at Matshuhisa, my favorite Japanese restaurant in L.A.
May 15, 1991 John Malkovich at Polaroid studio in New York. We take some new color portraits and a few family shots with Nicole and their new baby daughter Amandine.
September 2, 1989 Shoot in Paris with John Malkovich, Julian Sands, John Lurie and Enzo Cucchi for Comme des Garcons. Lots of wonderful daylight inside a gigantic building with 60 foot ceilings. Later in the afternoon at the CDG office, another session with Malkovich and Sands for the cover of L'Uomo Vogue. We work in a nearby alley. After the shoot Malkovich changes back into his own clothes and Lily tells him that he looks ridiculous in this suit which he has altered into shorts and a jacket. Dinner at Tour d'Argent with Rei Kawakubo, Marion Greenberg, Karin, Malkovich, Sands, Lurie, Cucchi, and filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. During dessert Lurie throws things into the Seine from the 3rd floor window.
February 25, 1988 John Malkovich at 4PM. Saw him in Burn This an ordinary play saved by his brilliant stage presence. We shoot some 11x14's and talk about clothes. He made his own costumes long ago and now loves Comme des Garcons. I'll talk to Rei Kawakubo about him. Perhaps we could do some shots for my CGD series. |
