Degrees

by Andy Gotts, Pierce Brosnan (Foreword), Kevin Bacon (Afterword)

Andy Gotts has had extraordinary access to the world’s most famous faces. His celebrity portraits illustrate the small-world phenomenon of “six degrees of separation.” Each actor Gotts photographed then suggested a best friend or someone they admired. This gives a wonderful chain of “who knows who”—over one hundred A-list celebrities are included.

How many degrees away are you from Kevin Bacon? I'm two. :-)

I really... REALLY enjoy the concept (and the shots) of this book. The photographer took on the idea of utilizing the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game -- he's on the cover -- and asked each person who sat with him to suggest the next, and so on, and so on... VERY interesting to see who knew who and how each was connected. The photos themselves are done quicte well and have a very casual feel.

Proceeds from this book benefited diabetes somehow. The photographer took pictures of one celebrity, who referred him to another celebrity, who referred him again.... Some really terrific portraits. Nothing more.
