UNEASY - Sheila Heti iFAQ
In 2000 I asked a number of friends to send me “infrequently asked questions” for my website, here are some of the questions (and answers) from Sheila Heti’s submission.
UNEASY Margaret Atwood
We began making a real connection when I told her about my experience nine years earlier photographing Robertson Davies.
UNEASY Anton Corbjin
We met up with the Dutch music photographer in a modest hotel room in downtown Toronto in 1987, where we interviewed and photographed him.
UNEASY A$AP
By an odd coincidence of timing, I was set to take care of my daughter at the same time as this last-minute shoot with A$AP Rocky.
Happy Birthday Michelle Golden!
She is a smart complex woman who is always a pleasure to be around, we met in June of 2002 and have been together ever since.
UNEASY Spice Girls
I wanted them maybe giggling or whispering to each other, grouped in the corner, not looking at the camera, leaving the rest of the frame empty.
UNEASY Gene Simmons
The first time that I met Gene, we spent 20 minutes arguing about what the shots might look like. I was frustrated initially but soon realized that he just enjoyed a good argument.
UNEASY Philip Seymour Hoffman Techsheet
I recently came across the techsheet for a Philip Seymour Hoffman shoot. It has a few amusing details, like me sitting in for Philip wearing a blow dryer extension on my head.
UNEASY (Jim) Parsons
At some point, I think someone from the magazine suggested Maria from Metropolis, the 1927 Fritz Lang movie, and I was like, wow, if we could do that, it would be amazing.
UNEASY Michele Bachmann
Today A Photo Editor released an interview that Rob Haggart and I did a few months after this controversial Newsweek cover.
UNEASY Steve Martin
In the original, Picasso is wearing the classic horizontal striped shirt, and I obviously wasn’t going to dress Steve Martin like that—I wanted Steve Martin to look like Steve Martin.
UNEASY Leonard Cohen
I’m frequently asked to name my favorite photo session of my career, and I always answer “Leonard Cohen.”
UNEASY Chuck D. White House
A line in a Public Enemy song talks about being crucified like Jesus, and we’re shooting in a hotel room in central D.C., so I suggest, “Let’s go shoot at the White House.”
UNEASY Cover to Cover
PictureHouse has created an exhibit displaying every picture from Uneasy - that’s 338!
Trump “Unshackled”
An interview with Scott Woods about his book on Donald Trump, “Unshackled,” in January of 2017, a week before the President’s inauguration.
