Leonard Nimoy on His Career as a Photographer, Plus Company of Angels Video

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:55, 20 October 2009 / People

Plus Model Magazine posted a new interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy in which he talks about his career as a a brilliant photographer. Here are few excerpts.

[Jennifer] Tell us about your experience as a photographer.

[Leonard Nimoy] I became interested in photography in my early teens. A friend showed me how to develop film and make a print. It's been in my life ever since.

[Jennifer] How did the Full Body Project happen?

[Leonard Nimoy] I was showing some earlier work at a seminar, some images from my "Shekhina" book. A lady approached and asked if I would be interested in working with a different body type than the models I had worked with. She came to my studio and I photographed her. Whenever I showed her images along with the others there was a great deal of interest. I decided to pursue that area of work. She is seen in the book lying horizontal against a black background.

[Jennifer] Are there any other projects coming up?

[Leonard Nimoy] I'm preparing a show, which will be exhibited at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art next year. Tentatively titled "Secret Selves". It is a series of portraits of people who presented a secret or fantasy self to the camera. Fascinating!!

The full interview is here.

Plus, you can watch a video of Mr Nimoy acceptance speach at the Company of Angels Gala award this past weekend here.

He showed Bill his first camera, which I believe belonged to his grandfather. It was really interesting. I think I could listen to him talk for hours lol.

I had always wanted to approach Mr. Nimoy at the conventions to discuss photography with him.

I always believed he'd be interested in my company that does immersive 360 panoramic photography.

I wanted to somehow show him our virtual tour that we created for Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas - StarTrek360.com
