I think it's probably his first major editorial assignment, surely his first in the fashion field. I'm not sure how it evolved but everyone involved was aware that it was new territory. My daughter learned a heck of a lot from being included. With all the drawings, set designs, wardrobe work, set paintings, light checks, etc., the actual shooting was kind of an anti-climax. Also, during the whole project there was a crew of French cinematographers there making a documentary on Witkin. But he has done commissioned work before, including works for the ministries of culture of France and Spain. Also recently did a commission piece based on Gericault's "Raft of the Medusa" for a private client in France. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
