THE FAMILIAR FACES ART COLLECTION

Uma was here to receive an award at Stockholm Film Festival. The shoot was postponed and cancelled three times before Johan finally had the opportunity to photograph her.

Johan had access to an empty hotel room where he rigged different stations to do the shooting as fast and efficient as possible. Suddenly there’s a makeup artist, hairstylist, an agent, a child, a nanny and a completely confused man falling into the room… and last Uma Thurman. Johan explained to her that he wanted to do the photoshoot around the room. She looked uninterested at Johan and said ”You get ONE picture”. She was not interested in this whatsoever. One picture! It had to be good… so I ripped apart the Film Festival catalogue and put in front of her on a table. She was already on the cover of that one, with a different picture. So she got to hold one of her own ripped out eyes in front of her own. Then Johan forced her to do another picture where she looked out through the window. She got curious how he would manage to take the photo from the outside on the third floor without a balcony… so then he got to take that one too.
