A celebrity photographer reveals the stories behind iconic photos of Brad Pitt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Lopez and more
Seliger donated 25 limited-edition prints to be auctioned off online by Christie’s in a campaign called. Bidding will take place May 28-June 12, and 100% of the proceeds will go toward coronavirus-relief charities. Each celebrity chose an organization to receive the funds from the sale of the work in which he or she is pictured.
Brad Pitt chose Meals on Wheels; Bruce Springsteen, Community FoodBank of New Jersey. Jennifer Lopez selected America’s Food Fund. President Barack Obama and Willie Nelson had the same idea: World Central Kitchen.“It definitely felt collaborative,” Seliger said of organizing the fundraiser with so many of his subjects. “As a photographer, what you have is your archive, that’s your keepsake. Having an inventory of work, this felt like something I could do immediately.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, photographed on May 5, 2016, in New York, for the June 2016 issue of Rolling Stone. The work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.“This was right before Lin was about to leave ‘Hamilton.’ So it was kind of the last hurrah. We were shooting at my studio. There was this crazy little dirt lot next to my studio that we snuck into and that’s where we shot the whole cast.
Jennifer Lopez, photographed at Mark Seliger’s New York studio on Sept. 25, 2000, for the February 2001 cover of Rolling Stone.This was inspired by a series of images I wanted to do with her for a portfolio. We were in my studio in New York. It was done for Rolling Stone. One of my favorite illustrators and artists, in a certain genre, is Frank Frazetta. This was an homage to Frazetta — [his] powerful warrior women, but very Gothic.
Dr. Dre, left, and Snoop Dogg, photographed on Aug. 2, 1993, in Compton, for the September 1993 issue of Rolling Stone.“This was 1993, I was photographing Snoop and Dr. Dre. We were in Compton, just on the street. They were in the middle of making a video for ‘The Chronic.’ I’d never been to Compton before. I was so out of my element that Snoop dubbed me ‘Casper the friendly ghost.’ It was the wee hours of the morning and I was worried they’d leave.
