"The first shoot I did with Cher was not meant to be a session, at least as far as I understood. I got a call saying that she wanted to come to the studio and she showed up with her friend Paulette, looking gorgeous. On a whim, I asked her if she wanted to shoot so we just hung out and I shot 6 or 7 rolls of film very informally. Every image is pure Cher magic and I’ve since been told by Paulette that Cher had planned to do a session all along - and had made sure she had a perfect make-up before she came! Cher has since used the images from this session for an album cover and merchandise, including her Las Vegas residency that kicked off in 2017."
As a renowned graphic designer (with 5 Grammy nominations), Seeff has also designed a number of large-scale composites and sequences. For this artwork, he used four images from their session to create a single flowing design that captures her graceful movements while brushing her hair.
In addition to this 4-Up sequence, a 2-Up and 3-Up version also exists, each one in its own edition of 50 pieces. A PDF catalog is available on request that will lay out each option, please contact us for more info!
