“Actor Christian Bale, photographed in Los Angeles for an interview in Variety magazine. We went to Los Angeles for literally just a few hours—we were eager for a quick return because our daughter was only two weeks old at the time. In an otherwise pristine garden at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, we used this bizarre, gritty corner as a setting for photographing Bale. It was behind a hedge with a giant ventilation grid and discarded Plexiglas. Bale was very cool and accomodating, joking, ‘Are you guys really from Variety? Why do I feel like five minutes after you leave, the real photographers are going to show up?’”
