Robert Lebeck excels at capturing complex stories in deceptively simple compositions. Internationally recognized for his photojournalism and portraits of figures in the arts and culture, he is a master of interacting with his subjects in a playful manner that encourages them to open uprevealing both the public figure and the hidden private emotions. While being candid, he never sought to shock or make his subjects uncomfortablein doing so, he earned their lasting trust. They in turn granted him images that are iconic and highly personal like his portraits of personalities such as Willy Brandt, Alfred Hitchcock, or Maria Callas. It might be said that it is hard to define Lebecks style. Hes not known for stylistic shortcuts or repetitive gimmicks. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment is the unique and careful approach he brings to all of his work.A worthy tribute to a masterful photographic storytellerA key figure in post-war European photography

Fotógrafo del The New York Times, GEO, Le Monde o el País Semanal entre otros, Samuel Aranda ha pasado sus últimos 15 años retratando algunos de los conflictos internacionales más importantes.

How can a photographer of internationally known stars create iconic portraits that linger in the memoryespecially since these actors have already been photographed and filmed millions of times? Vincent Peterswho has been working since 1995 for magazines such as Vogue and GQ and fashion brands including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurentrelies entirely on the classic art of portrait photography for his pictures. Focusing on small gestures and subtle productions instead of prominent poses, he ensures that his subjects do not disappear into the backdrop and that their faces are the focal point. Emma Watsons features are lent a tragic note with white makeup. Photographs of stars such as David Beckham and Christian Bale are markedly masculine. Even more intimate are the images that Peters has taken in private surroundings, like when he accompanied Monica Bellucci during the years. His sophisticated lighting has the most impact in his black-and-white photos, bestowing them with a breathtaking cinematic quality.

En su tierra natal, Japon, muchas mujeres rinden culto a Araki al sentirse liberadas por su disposicion a fotografiar la expresion de su deseo.

Edward Quinns debut as a professional photojournalist was at an equestrian show jumping competition in Nice, France. This initiation established two constants of the Irish photographers (19201997) work: the Cote dAzur as a setting and animals as a subject. The French Riviera of the 1950s and 60s was a veritable El Dorado. Quinns wife, Gret, once said of this golden age, In the fifties, looking around on the Riviera, you thought everyone was beautiful and happy. Edward Quinn captured the shining stars of the dayeveryone from Grace Kelly to Salvador Dalion film, preserving the magic of those boom years for future generations. Equipped with his Leica and an excellent eye, Edward Quinn brought artistry to celebrity photos, as People Magazine once wrote about him. Celebrities, both now and in the glamorous 1950s and 60s, tend to look shy, stilted, and intent on keeping their guard up when photographed. But not with Quinn. How did he get such impressively authentic portraits of his subjects? His discreet and gentle manner certainly helped, as did his trick of shooting stars with their pets. Celebrity Pets proves this tactic was a huge success. In the presence of their beloved pets, the stars are incredibly approachable and natural, whether it is Picasso romping with his dogs Kabul and Lump, or writer Somerset Maugham on all fours playing with his Pekingese Chin. We see Prince Rainer using a tiger as an icebreaker with Grace Kelly, and mixed-breed dog Guapa where every man dreamed of being: in bed with Brigitte Bardot.
