For the rest of the decade\u2014the years represented by these Polaroids\u2014she was booked and busy. \u201cIt was such a period of growth for me as a photographer,\u201d Shur told me. \u201cI really found myself, I\u2019d say.\u201d (She\u2019s since released monographs exploring her travels to Japan<\/a> and her neighborhood in L.A.<\/a>) The Polaroids, meanwhile, tell some unexpected tales. Some of her subjects, then at the pinnacle of fame, have since gone down strange paths. Cheryl Hines, whom she shot for Entertainment Weekly, was known at the time for \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm.\u201d One Polaroid shows a concept that wasn\u2019t ultimately used, with Hines\u2019s mascara running down her stoic face\u2014a defiant-martyr look that carries an unintended irony, now that Hines is notorious as the wife of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n Other Polaroids capture the musical moment: a grinning Ghostface Killah (\u201cHe was very bummed that he was smiling\u201d); a shirtless Coolio (\u201cCoolio was late\u201d); a frilly Nicole Scherzinger, then the ascendant lead vocalist of the Pussycat Dolls. Kid Rock, whom she shot for Spin, at his property in Michigan, was known as a flashy country rocker and not yet as a Trumpist firebrand. The shoot, Shur said, involved a lot of \u201cloud\u201d poses of the artist in his \u201cugly leather jacket and hat,\u201d but the Polaroid catches him looking uncharacteristically subdued at his keyboard: \u201cI was unsure if he was going to be down to take those quieter pictures, and he was.\u201d<\/p>\n Kid Rock, 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Amanda Seyfried, 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Some of the male actors evoke the indie-boy cool factor of the time: Adam Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Peter Sarsgaard. The \u201cScrubs\u201d star Zach Braff, who defined a certain twee-depressive counterculture with his 2004 film \u201cGarden State,\u201d posed for Interview in a tweedy jacket. \u201cI had a very innocent, professional crush on him at the time,\u201d Shur recalled with a sigh. \u201cI was, like, In another life, me and this nice Jewish boy from New Jersey could have been great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.newyorker.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the rest of the decade\u2014the years represented by these Polaroids\u2014she was booked and busy. \u201cIt was such a period of growth for me as a photographer,\u201d Shur told me. \u201cI really found myself, I\u2019d say.\u201d (She\u2019s since released monographs exploring her travels to Japan and her neighborhood in L.A.)
