"We shot this cover try, in the Paris studio Daguerre.  We also shot another model before Linda, and she was also very pretty, but, she didn't have that extra spark.  Linda did.  I think she was happy to have the competition of the other girl there.  It seemed to make her more determined to make the cover hers.  Of course we'd already worked together a year and a half earlier on a trip to London, so it was a reunion of sorts.  A fun time was had by all."

After Linda moved back to New York, her first composite card in the Elite Model Management agencies' promotion book for 1987, featured both of these covers.

More Linda Evangelista.

On this occasion, I went to Italy along with model Silke to shoot several fashion stories for the Italian weekly fashion magazine, Grazia.  We had very beautiful light on this trip and got some beautiful images.  When you are working with natural light in a beautiful location, it is really helpful, because the light has a dramatic impact on the viewers emotional response to the photos.  Michael Tammaro did hair and make-up.  More on this trip.
