An excellent and inspiring book filled with great photographs and interesting back stories on the photos and their photographers.

[Inno van Lieshout · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastische foto's met veel informatie van de fotograven over de 'achtergronden' van de foto's (niet letterlijk bedoeld). Ik heb een Nederlandse uitgave uit 2007.

Not all of these photos were my cup of tea, but the behind-the-scenes information was interesting. I liked that the authors included information on how they set up and lit their shots.
