Over the past few decades, Bonnie Schiffman has photographed hundreds of celebrities; from George Burns to Jerry Seinfeld; Julia Child to Joni Mitchell; Muhammed Ali to Warren Buffet, all of which have appeared in major US and International magazines.
The energy and spontaneity that Bonnie brings to her work is what gives rise to her unique images; we got a new honest perspective on her subjects.
Lauri Kratochvil, former photo director of Rolling Stone and InStyle magazine, said it best: “Bonnie doesn’t put herself in the picture. She lets people do what they do so you don’t get the celebrity, you get the person.”
Now Bonnie has archived a collection of portraits whose importance lay not only in their capture of her signature style of photography, but also in their contribution to the chronicles of American cultural history.
