"It Was the Last Good Time": Celebrity Photographer Randall Slavin Shares Candid Photos from '90s Hollywood Hangouts instyle.com

It’s no surprise that Randall Slavin feels like a “Hollywood zelig.”

Through more than two decades photographing Tinseltown’s hottest stars, the 49-year-old Los Angeles native has constantly found himself in the right place at the right time — with the right people.

There was the time he got a random call to take engagement portraits for a woman who turned out to be the editor of the New York Times’ ‘Fashion of the Times,’ and called back a week later about another job – photographing a buzzy dress an aspiring teenage designer had just created. “She said, ‘Everyone’s talking about this dress and it’s coming to L.A. next week. His name’s Zac Posen. Can you shoot it?’” Slavin tells InStyle. “That was the first piece of press Zac ever got.”
