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 everyones 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 REACHshoot, 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, Pearl Jam, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana.  He’s also shot live and studio images for Elvis Costello, No Doubt, Fiona Apple, Henry Rollins, Soundgarden and Scott Weiland among numerous others.
