Clive McLean

Clive McLean (1944–2005) was an English photographer and an AVN Hall of Fame member best known for his work at Hustler and Barely Legal. He first met Hustler founder Larry Flynt in 1976, after working for Playboy and Penthouse. Flynt was so impressed with McLean that he doubled the salary Penthouse was paying him and brought him to the United States to begin a twenty-nine-year working relationship.

After decades in the business and having directed hundreds of seminal movies, he met and married his future collaborator, model and makeup artist Erica in 1994. Together, they created and produced the "Barely Legal" and "Hot Showers" franchises through Hustler. Clive McLean was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2001. He received the "Best Vignette" Award at the 2004 AVN Award. That same year, American Movie Classics aired "The AMC Project: I Want to Be Clive McClean."

In 2005, McLean succumbed to a battle with cancer at the age of 60. According to Flynt: I'll always remember Clive for being there in the very beginning, virtually when we started. He's just as much a part of Hustler as a I am, in a sense. He's made a phenomenal contribution over the years not just to Hustler and Barely Legal, but also to our video lines. So we're going to miss him a great deal. Hustler founder Larry Flynt told AVN.com.

Erica McLean went on to direct over 40 of the titles in the Barely Legal franchise and ultimately created her own with the 2011 "Flying Pink Pig" food truck parody series, which garnered national headlines.

Stephen Hicks

The name J. Stephen Hicks is synonymous with quality and excellence in the field of photography. He studied at Colorado University before attending Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Hicks worked at Playboy and studied the likes of Phillip Dixon, Richard Fegley, Ken Marcus and Arny Freytag. He has said they were his greatest influences as they were truly great technicians, directors, and producers of fine erotic pictures.

A master of capturing the female form, his peers have said there is no one alive who can harness natural light the way Stephen can. Hicks states, I think to create quality erotic images you must synthesize numerous elements. The make-up, the lighting, the model's expression, pose and body language, the setting, and design are all such important pieces of each single image. J. Stephen Hicks is a true pioneer in the field of erotic photography. His passion is undeniable.

Suze Randall

Suze Randall is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s leading erotic photographers, for over thirty years Suze Randall had been creating brilliant, stylish portraits that glorify the sensuality of her models, work that was praised by the late Helmut Newton who also photographed her. Suze attributes her famous “bedside manner” to her training as a nurse at London’s prestigious St. George’s hospital where she qualified both as a RN and a midwife. Forsaking nursing in the late 1960’s for nude and later fashion modeling, she attracted press attention with her edgy, erotic portraits of her fellow models which included supermodel Jerry Hall. In 1975 Playboy’s Hugh Hefner was so struck by her photographs of a lovely Norwegian model that he flew both model and photographer to Los Angeles.

For the next two years Suze worked as a staff photographer for Playboy under the supervision of the magazine’s brilliant West Coast editor Marilyn Grabowski. AShe was tough and demanding, Suze recalls, Abut since I was the only female photographer on staff she took me under her wing and influenced my sense of style as far as costume and sets were concerned. Because Suze was the life of the party, she was on the Playboy Mansion West’s “gang list” where she was known at “the flasher” due to her provocative dancing. In 1977 Dell published her tell-all memoirs, written with her husband Humphry Knipe, which included the two years they partied at the Playboy Mansion.

Although I told Hef’s social secretary what we were doing she didn’t take it seriously – I was just another air head with inflated ideas, Suze recalls. But when Hefner saw the book excerpted in England’s gossipy News of the World newspaper, he hit the roof. But he didn’t have her frog marched out of the mansion until Larry Flynt published a self portrait of her in Hustler headlined Playboy photographer shows pink. We felt like Adam and Eve thrown out of Paradise, Suze recalls. Luckily, shortly before my fall from grace, I found Larry Flynt sitting alone and ignored at the Mansion’s outside bar. He commissioned me to do a self-portrait layout (I had already shot myself for Playboy) and published it with the cover line ‘Playboy Photographer Shows Pink’. This got Hef even madder at me than writing the book and he now also banned me from shooting for Playboy. Larry Flynt immediately signed Suze up as a Hustler staff photographer. Her two-year stint there (1977-1979) was another early influence on her work. She attributes the vividness and clarity that are such outstanding features of her photographic technique to her years in “boot camp” as she refers to her Hustler years. Larry wouldn’t allow any of his photographers to shoot with diffusion, he wanted the viewer to see every pore in the model’s skin. That made it a challenge to hide flaws that almost every girl has. I had to learn how to do it with posing and lighting.”

Suze then went on to work freelance for top adult magazines such as Penthouse. Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse, gave photographers the artistic freedom to shoot whatever they wanted. In Suze’s case, that meant erotic women in beautiful settings. Suze has appeared on numerous radio and television shows including Tom Snyder (USA), Terry Wogan (Britain), Mike Walsh (Australia), MNET (South Africa), and Warren Olney (KCRW Los Angeles), the E! Channel, Britain’s Channel 5 and the Arts & Entertainment Channel. Her Eye On LA interview was one of ABC’s most frequently rerun segments. She has been profiled in Vanity Fair, and the prestigious photographers’ trade magazine Photo District News. On February 8, 2004 she appeared (with photograph) in the New York Times business section. She is featured introducing the first segment of the HBO series Pornucopia.
