Comments
Cuffaro:
“I have to say this was the music video shoot that gave me the directing bug. Watching James Cameron work was fucking brilliant.
He could do everyone’s
job on a set.
He was crazy in all the right ways.
Bill really made the shoot fun & everyone was really into giving their best.”
Cuffaro, who had free reign during the
two-day “REACH”
shoot, will unveil on set portraits, behind-the-scenes photos, proof sheets and never-before-seen images, with more than
80 prints on display. Considered to be among the most respected and accomplished entertainment industry photographers, Cuffaro’s
catalog
has consistently been ahead of the curve, with iconic photos depicting
the most relevant musicians, actors, athletes and personalities of the
last three decades.
He brings a whole new level of emotional depth and human rawness to the
art form, while always capturing and magnetizing the moment.
Cuffaro has worked with a succession
of top talent including pop icon George Michael,
the legendary Iggy Pop and groundbreaking bands such
as Jane’s Addiction,
