Close has been one of my favorite artist's since my first trip to the Art Museum. Portraits interest me the most, no matter what medium. I recently found out that Chuck's work will be in the new Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition. I was very confused at first because I thought it was mostly photography based. Well, he's the fucking guest artist and he's taking photos. It could be love.

Here's the Vanity Fair interview with Close talking about his process, subjects, lack of hair/makeup crew, and why he chose the breath taking Polaroid camera.
