Uncontaminated Sound: Uncontaminated Sound Live! Conversation #14 : Photographer, filmmaker, makeup artist, and hair stylist Bill Westmoreland (Audio)
On this Morning's Broadcast I chat with photographer, filmmaker, makeup artist and hair stylist Bill Westmoreland
Bill has worked on commercials, videos and CD covers for many musicians and Broadway performers, including
"Liza's at the Palace" in 2008 for Liza Minnelli, the cover of DOWNBEAT magazine with Veronica Swift, as well as photographing the best-selling makeup book Your Makeover (2000) by Morgen Schick for Rizzoli Universe. As a Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Bill has been represented by ART + COMMERCE since 1986. He has collaborated with such noted photographers as Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Leibovitz, Frank Ockenfels, Richard Burbridge, Francesco Scavullo, Richard Avedon, and Ben Hassett, to name a few. Bill has also collaborated with Keith Haring in 1986.
We get into his time working with Haring and Warhol, and dive deep into his fine art practice of making images of cows plus more!
Please enjoy this lovely conversation. _RL
What started as a photography series then video series, "Uncontaminated Sound" is a conversation series for radio that follows comedians, musicians, fine artists, and actors with the primary objective to gain a particular insight into their creative processes which can only be fully unravelled by truly going behind the scenes. With "Uncontaminated Sound," Robert attempts to offer an intimate look into all of the rarely seen or known “little things” that take place during interviews and other similar social and private interactions with artists and performers. These features offer listeners real, raw, and authentic conversations.
Originally from Boston and moved to Brooklyn, Robert Lundberg now finds himself in New York's Hudson Valley. His photographic works have been featured in publications such as The Huffington Post, Paste Magazine, Brokelyn, Vents Magazine, Do NYC, No Depression, The Patch, and countless others including podcasts. Lundberg explores his own primal instinct through the making of subconscious markings, using a diverse array of mediums including acrylic, India ink, and charcoal, he hopes to express the visceral and nebulous inner workings of the self. He is also an advocate for a better planet and traveler, and in June had the honor of being a volunteer crew member and onboard reporter on the famed "American Promise," a 61' oceanographic research vessel for The Rozalia Project. Sailing out of Bar Harbor, ME he documented a 7 night excursion in the Gulf of Maine, while participating in a marine debris cleanup from Bois Bubert Island in collaboration with Maine Island Trail Association. Currently he is hashing out a few documentary ideas based off his experiences in Maine and his travels in Central America.
