From Man Rays pioneering experimentations to the elegant and provocative fashion shots of Helmut Newton and Herb Ritts, this volume showcases masters of their craft across different photographic genres, from reportage and documentary to art and portraiture to fashion and glamour photography.
For each artist featured, a 22-page portfolio of their iconic images provides a comprehensive overview of their oeuvre. Each section opens with an insightful introduction to the masters work and includes a concise biography of the photographer. Images are accompanied by commentary from the specialist authors and contextualized by original essays that shed light on the stories, motivations, and techniques behind each shot.
