Photographer Brian Aris (Celebrating George): "This Is The Guy Who Taught Us How To Pose"

from DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley

Dennis is joined by renowned British photographer Brian Aris to discuss his new book Celebrating George: Three Decades which showcases the many photographs Brian took of George Michael throughout his career. Brian talks about the first time he shot George, as part of Wham, at the end of a day that included earlier shoots with Billy Joel and Mick Jagger. He also talks about why George was one of his favorite subjects to shoot, the love he feels from the "George Michael Lovelies" who attend his book events and the intentionality that George brought to all his photo sessions. Other topics include: shooting the group photo at Band Aid, how Debbie Harry changed the trajectory of his career, where he likes to stand when he's shooting concert shots, the American rocker who defaced his favorite backdrop and his earliest memories of photography.
