She Was Totally "What Do You Want Me To Do?"
Star photographer Regan Cameron talks about his career breakthrough since having worked with Madonna.There are plenty of images to choose from, including one of Madonna and Missy Elliott in the True Blue jeans commercial for Gap sitting in his office.The turning point, the moment when Cameron really knew he'd made it, was when he shot Madonna for "InStyle" magazine in 2001.
Madge liked one of his images so much she used it on her tour posters."To me you couldn't get anyone more famous. The Pope maybe. You lifted up the camera, and suddenly they're in your camera, and it's quite odd."Despite his predictions otherwise, the star let Cameron direct the shoot.
"It was really interesting because I was quite nervous, thinking, 'she's not going to listen to a word I say' but she was totally, 'what do you want me to do?' Obviously that's why she's at the top - she works with people she trusts. A big part of [this job] is working that trust level up as fast as possible, otherwise if they think you're going to make them look like a sack of potatoes, it's not going to work."
