J.Lo and Ben really bought a home this time around And it’s transcending that that I think makes a beautiful life.Which zodiac sign will risk it all for love, according to an astrologer HE: What is your best advice for aging gracefully?ĪV: My best advice for aging gracefully is probably going to be more of a spiritual or a psychological answer, which is just trying to find peace in life and being happy and sharing that with other people. So I definitely think that there is a change. Ten years ago that wasn’t talked about nearly as much. You see women who are getting older, and they’re still thought of as powerful and sexy and sensual. For me that’s the shift – I mean it’s already started to happen. The next level is really to discuss things like age and how we treat ourselves and how we respect ourselves and how we value ourselves as women. And I think we’re going to see more of it because I think women are coming into power more so than ever before. Women representing us in the political field now are all ages and shapes and sizes and races. But I think there have been some great women in Hollywood taking chances.
HE: Okay, so aside from all of that-do Americans value women of all ages?ĪV: I think people have a way to go in our culture. They don’t want it in three or four weeks. Everybody wants everything now! They want their photographers to retouch and get it to print or the magazine or the advertising. They have to move with what is happening now. When you talk to any of the artists, people say the same thing. I think everybody feels a little sad about the loss of film and Polaroid and the process, you know? I do. HE: And you’re sensing this as someone who has been in the business for years and seen how it was before?ĪV: Yes.
VALLETTA AMBER TV
In high-definition TV if you have one flaw you’re screwed. The high-definition, it’s just a little intense. There are people who still shoot with film, but a lot of that is going to digital on television. But I think again we’re losing some of that craftsmanship that we had with film photography, and feature films even are losing some of that. Look, there’s no way to compare it to how it was with the chemicals and stuff like that. I mean I’ve seen some beautiful things about digital. HE: Will that change? Do you predict that the pendulum could swing back the other way, back to an appreciation for film?ĪV: I hope so. And I think that most people will say that now.
VALLETTA AMBER SKIN
There’s not a tactile-ness to the skin like you felt when you looked at a photograph from film. The quality, especially in still photography, doesn’t feel real anymore. And I think that’s why there’s a backlash. Everything is, like, avatars and re-imaging through digital, and you lose this kind of humanness. And then they would hand retouch the photograph. That’s why Hurrell the famous photographer would put grease on a girls’ face, like Vaseline basically, and then light it up. Whereas when you had film you couldn’t do that. What happens now is digital picks up every single flaw on any human being because we’re looking at blades of grass in a football field now. HE: Does the digital/retouching element in photography today allow women to succeed who are less beautiful than, say, 20 years ago?ĪV: To be honest I don’t think anybody is any less or more beautiful today physically as much as film-the quality of film in a photograph or in a feature film or television-is so much…there’s a magic to it that we’ve lost in digital. It’s the same kind of thing: What does that mean? What was he thinking? Why are they doing that? For me he’s like looking at David Lynch but in photography. HE: Which is probably one of the reasons people like him-he’s not afraid to go a little crazy.ĪV: It’s kind of like David Lynch. I just feel like what we did was special and of course very authentic to Steven Klein’s perspective. I feel like I have great role models for the aging process, and I love seeing women of all ages being represented in magazines now. And all of the women in my family are really strong women. But the thing is she has aged gracefully, and she has shown me that it’s possible. And the funny thing is she lives on a farm. She’s on the cutting edge of beauty and health to me.
