New work: Sharon Stone by Jeff Lipsky

“People don’t believe me when I tell them that these images are barely retouched,” says Jeff Lipsky of his portraits of Sharon Stone for AARP The Magazine. I can see why they wouldn’t believe him—the actress, who will turn 54 on March 10, looks just as stunning as she did in her Basic Instinct days.

Jeff and Sharon had worked together before, and when she specifically requested him for this cover shoot, Jeff was happy to oblige. “She’s so good—the camera just loves her,” says Jeff, who photographed her in Malibu. “I would take a picture and look it, and it would be so incredible that I’d go give her a little hug. Then I’d take another picture, give her another hug, take a picture, give her a hug…”

Jeff was commissioned by AARP The Magazine director of photography Quentin Nardi. “Jeff is a dream to work with,” she says. “He puts everyone at ease with his friendly, down-to-earth way. And that is exactly how he was with Sharon Stone. He captured her natural beauty wonderfully because, in part, she felt so comfortable and relaxed on set. It’s always so great to collaborate with Jeff.”

Academy Awards portraits gallery!

Kristina Feliciano — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:53:24 +0000

In honor of this year’s Academy Awards, which gets started at Sunday at 8 PM EST on ABC, I thought I’d show off some of the portraits our photographers have taken of the 2010 nominees over the years. And then, out of curiosity, I started researching which previous nominees and winners our photographers have shot. The grand total? 76 performers and 12 photographers. (And I don’t doubt I missed a few.)

So here are the current nominees. And below that is a link to massive slideshow of nominees and winners past. In many cases, the same performer was shot by more than one of our photogs, so I included the same person more than once because, you know, it’s fun to compare and contrast.

Current Academy Award nominees:

George Clooney
Best Actor, Up in the Air

Previously: Best Actor nominee, 2008, Michael Clayton; Best Supporting Actor winner, 2006, Syriana
