“Atiev, who’s an aspiring musician and cinematographer, wanted to “up the level” for his next video and do something crazy. So, starting at 9 a.m. on a clear day in April, he and his friend, Djabrail Tataev, armed themselves with two cameras and walked forty-two kilometres from Yonge and Wellington Streets in Aurora to the point where Yonge Street begins at Queens Quay in Toronto—a journey that took them fourteen hours to complete.” Ref: torontoist.com

“Leibovitz will therefore retain control of those assets within the context of the loan agreement which shall prevail until satisfied,” statement issue by Leibovitz and her creditor.
“In these challenging times I am appreciative to Art Capital for all they have done to resolve this matter and for their cooperation and continued support, I also want to thank my family, friends, and colleagues for being there for me and look forward to concentrating on my work.” Leibovitz.
“The bulk of Leibovitz’s debt apparently comes from extensive renovations at two of the Greenwich Village town houses that she bought in 2002 and ultimately combined into one property. Damage during the renovations led to a $15 million lawsuit from a neighbor.
Around 2004, Leibovitz started taking out a number of loans while she tried to get her financial house in order. She ended up selling some properties — including a photo studio for $11.4 million — but she has also borrowed heavily against her other properties and the money apparently wasn’t enough.
Finally, in September 2008, she turned to Art Capital Group, the company the Times called a pawnbroker, to consolidate all her loans. The company, which specializes in making loans to owners of high end art work, charges interest rates of 6 percent to 16 percent.” Ref: abc news

“To secure her loan, Leibovitz put up her homes, which are estimated to be worth around $40 million, and — more importantly — the rights to her work, also valued at about $40 million.
In a lawsuit, Art Capital Group alleged that Leibovitz breached her contract with the company by refusing to allow real estate experts into her homes to appraise their value and by blocking the company from selling her photographs.
Her most famous images include a photograph of John Lennon taken hours before he was assassinated and a nude portrait of a pregnant Demi Moore for the cover of Vanity Fair.” Ref: abc news

Since 2003 Nick Knight have shoot 17 UK Vogue. John Galliano used him to remake image Christian Dior brand. The fashion darling photographer, Knight have a new exhibition in London, England.
Fashion photography, Knight maintains, doesn’t aspire to record a moment — it’s about creating an aesthetic. Pressing the shutter is only a part of the process, and “manipulation” another. fact he calls himself an “image-maker” as often as he does a photographer.Photo by Nick Knight
And here’s Knight on sizeism and ageism, fashion’s two other sorest points (fur notwithstanding). “Issues I relieved in were not being articulated in my professional work. Issues as simple as that fact that nobody was photographing women who looked like my wife”. (This is Charlotte, who Knight describes as “curvaceous” and “the most beautiful woman in the world”.) “Only people in their teens were being photographed — if you were older than 21 you didn’t have a look in. Lancôme dropped Isabella Rossellini when she turned 40: biggest mistake they ever made. All these examples were around me, and they didn’t sit well with me.”
“Fashion is better expressed in movement than it is in stills. The designer designs the dress to be seen moving.” Through SHOWStudio.com
