“Clive could always come up with a psychedelic vision to suit the current mood of far-out fantasy in fashion. In one sitting, he was able to capture not only the romance of a Dior coat but the futurism of Pierre Cardin.” – Grace Coddington quoted from her book Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue

“Clive Arrowsmith is the Caravaggio of the 21st century. He creates magic and dreams, he is the master of light.” – Marcella Martinelli, Fashion director.

“Clive is like the St. Francis of photography – he can charm the birds right out of the trees, but then tells better stories. His work combines not only a creative mind and technical excellence, but most importantly, a real connection with his subjects.” – Michael Daks, Professor of Photography at Paris College of Art & Istituto Marangoni, Paris

“Clive Arrowsmith’s insightful portraits shimmer with artful lighting and technical mastery, reflecting his own deep humorous humanity.” – Nicholas Vreeland

Clive Arrowsmith is a celebrated London-based international photographer.

Leaving television to work as a photographer, he soon gained commissions from leading fashion magazines, most notably, British and French Vogue, Harpers, The Sunday Times Colour Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire U.S.A., and F.T. “How to Spend It”.

Clive continues to work in this genre in both editorial and advertising photography and is equally known for his music and celebrity images: Paul McCartney, Wings, Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Daniel Barenboim, Anna Netrebko, Art Garfunkel, Def Leppard, Prince Charles, Michael Caine and Damien Hirst to name a few. Clive is also an accomplished landscape and still life photographer and is the only photographer to have shot the Pirelli Calendar two years in succession.

Having worked on many major stills advertising campaigns, such as De Beers, Revlon, G.H.D. Morello, Caroline Castigliano, Lexus, Hassleblad etc, Clive has continued to broaden his creative scope moving on to direct commercials for Heinz, Revlon, Hamlet Cigars (winner of The Silver Lion Cannes Film Festival), Rapeed Sunglasses, Greenmail Whitney Beer, music videos for artists like Lee Griffiths, Jamiroquai, Jools Holland, ZTT and Def Leppard, and album covers such as Wings’ ‘Band on the Run.’ This is the first book to celebrate his career.

Revue de presse

The contents of Clive Arrowsmith: Fashion, Beauty & Portraits are nothing short of breathtaking. The execution is everything you would ever want in a book focused on fashion and beauty photography including the size and quality of reproduction. . . This is a spectacular coffee table book that will no doubt become rabbit eared after having been perused time after time and year after year. --Jeffrey Felner "New York Journal of Books ""

'Arrowsmith has never been one of those photographers interested in capturing the zeitgeist of a particular decade or its dominant trends. His book features Vivienne Westwood, but there s no sign of punk. London s more outré social scene in the 1970s was all about cultivating a style of self-conscious decadence. It was a time of druggy, bisexual, gender-bending, coke-fuelled fun. And yet his collection features a photograph of Ossie Clark, Michael Roberts, Mickey Finn (the bongo-playing part of T. Rex), Marianne Faithfull and the make-up artist Pierre Laroche, plus a man in drag, all draped around each other, that perfectly captures the spirit and look of those louche times.' --The Sunday Times
