Rob Lowe by Nan Goldin. Vanity Fair, February 1984

One of my first commercial assignments was to shoot Rob Lowe for Vanity Fair in 1983. It was in a hotel room in New York, and I was shocked at his lack of interior life: at one point I asked him to look introspective -- and he turned on the television. When he left, I invited my boyfriend up, we ordered lots of room service, champagne, pay-per-view movies, and spent the night. I didn't get much work from Vanity Fair after that.
