INTERVIEW - The Calcutta Times of the Times of India
newspaper, interviewed Steve Landis for a Sunday arts section, page one story
published August 6, 2006. Click here to see the story and pictures
from that interview.
The
photo above left was taken on a cloudy and misty winter day.
I was assigned to photograph 8 to 10 styles of shoes from top
fashion designers including Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel, for
W magazine. We moved around Paris and shot in different
spots with different props. I mostly shoot people, so when
I get an assignment like this, its fun and a challenge.
I decided that I wanted to do something special with the YSL pump
and utilized a technique that I'd been saving for years, just
as it turned out to use for this occasion. Speaking of YSL,
before Indian model Ujjwala Raut was chosen as the new face of
Yves Saint Laurent cosmetics in 2004, Steve had already photographed
her. See some of Steve's beautiful
pictures of Ujjwala taken in New York.

The
photo of the bather above in the Indian Ocean was also taken during
an overcast sky, in this case due to a tropical rainshower.
The mood is interesting, as it is not so typical of a swimsuit shot.
This photograph was not published, but I happen to really like it.
See the
photo of this one piece swimsuit, that actually appeared, in
the British COSMOPOLITAN July 1988 issue.
