To the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London for the screening of Looking for Light, an excellent film about veteran English photographer, the late Jane Bown. She was quoted as saying: 'I spent my whole life worrying about time and light'. In her obituary she is hailed as 'part of the Observer's DNA'. She was particularly well-known for her portraits of the rich, famous and infamous (and unknown) and her iconic photograph of Samuel Beckett is considered his definitive portrait.
After the film we got talking to the lovely Maggie Marmion, who I had clocked earlier for her shining Metal Element face. The Metal Element with its chevron cheekbones and triangular shape has an affinity with the arts, the visual, media and fashion (think Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Anna Wintour as classic examples). It gives a discerning eye and a magnetic brightness which you can see on the pale skin and hair.
In Jane Bown's photo you can see the clear, cool look of the Metal Element sizing up the shot; although more of a square Earth Element face, she had those cheekbones -- the energy moves horizontally, which is great for making connections with others! Maggie's eyes, on the other hand, have the bright, loving to chat & mischievous sparkle of the Fire Element! You can see this quality of fire in the picture of the gorgeous red-haired and freckle-faced child above. And this made it very easy to talk about the film and ask for Maggie's photo!
