Eros Zine: There's a subtle peacefulness that exudes from your models, as if you always capture them in quiet, fluid motion. How do you find this "space" in your models? How many shots do you usually take to get that perfect one? Guido Argentini: I always try to have good "chemistry" with my models. If that is missing, the shoot will not be as good… I usually shoot very little film. Eros Zine: You have several stunning black & white shots of models in a silver cast-like paint. Tell me about the concept, preparation and process of creating these shots.
Eros Zine: You shoot a lot of fashion. What can we find in your personal work that we don't see in your fashion shoots? What about in your magazine shoots? Guido Argentini: The fashion work is something I love and would love to do more often. The problem is that fashion is tied to a time period. Nudes are timeless. Eros Zine: Do you enjoy fashion design? Guido Argentini: Yes I do, but I'm not "crazy" for fashion. Eros Zine: You grew up in Florence and moved to LA in your mid-twenties, which I guess explains both your masterful artistic eye and celebration of perfection in the female form. What's your artistic background, and how has it evolved in Los Angeles?
Eros Zine: Your black & white photos are smooth. Your models look like perfect marble. Your color photos are more lifelike and momentary. Which do you prefer to shoot in, and how do you decide which a photo should be in? Guido Argentini: I like both, black & white and color. Color is more difficult and challenging. Recently, I shoot 90% in color. One of my next two books will be totally in color, no black & white. Eros Zine: Your first book, Silvereye, primarily featured the artistic female form in studio settings. Your recent book, Private Rooms, captures more natural, highly sexual woman in one moment of a seemingly erotic story. What led you from one focus to the other?
Eros Zine: You've shot many celebrities, from Gore Vidal to Debbie Gibson. What's your approach to shooting celebrity portraits? Guido Argentini: Celebrities are always interesting and challenging. I'd like to do more of this type of shoot. Unfortunately, they never give you the same freedom you have shooting models. Eros Zine: What's next for you? Guido Argentini: I'm working on two books at the same time. One will be nudes, landscapes and still life; the other is nudes in the city.
