Patrick de Wilde has photographed thousands of men and women on five continents over the past twenty-five years; Face Time collects the most compelling of these emotional portraits, noted for the clarity and directness with which he portrays the person on the other side of the lens. Rather than seeking to point out obvious cultural differences, de Wilde’s images highlight the commonality and unity of the world’s population. Along with quotations from philosophers, sociologists, and writers on the essential qualities of humans, these photographs seek to position all individuals within the context of a unified whole – humanity.

I purchased this book for a good friend of mine who loves looking at
other peoples faces and studying them. She has traveled quite a bit and has met a lot of people. She loved this book and spent a lot of time reading over what the author had to say about his photographs.

This review is from: Face Time (Hardcover)
What a shame to be able to buy such a beautifully crafted book for such a small price!
The photos/portraits are thoughtfully and skillfully taken, showing the truth thanks to the timing of the portraits being taken at sunset. The paragraphs of history and of our short time (in the great scheme of things) on this planet gave me food for thought. For the photographer or anyone interested in the human race and face this book will bring pleasure and inspiration.
