“Some of my best pictures were taken when I wasn’t “working”, models getting ready, people in the street, the little moments in between shots. That’s when you can really capture people as they truly are and what’s underneath. It’s those real moments that can’t be faked.”
~ Arthur Elgort
Wendy Whitelaw was not one of the normal top of the line, supermodels that were usually the subject of Arthur’s lens. She was a make up artist who Arthur thought was just as or even more beautiful than everyone else he regularly worked with. She was somewhat shy and didn’t like to pose for anyone but she relented and allowed one of the most sought after fashion photographers in the world to photograph her.Here he captures her in one of those typical New York moments simply walking down the street on a hot summer day. Pure magic.
