I bought this book mainly in order to support the Charity. But now that it's on my coffee table, I find that it's a great conversation piece. Beautiful pictures .

This review is from: Hollywood Pinups (Hardcover)

The Cover and Sleeve are top notch. The book itself is only a handful, at best, of images; of which most are great and some make the model look awful. After going through the entire book in about 5 minutes, we felt a bit cheated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timothy's Pinups, September 6, 2009

This review is from: Hollywood Pinups (Hardcover)

Timothy White's work is probably already in your household. If you've ever bought a VHS or DVD of American movies, you've seen his work. Once you begin reviewing his photobooks, you'll recognize his style.

I was drawn to his work while I was looking for a movie, something outside of what I normally choose. I studied the covers of the DVDs and began to notice "someone's" work, "someone's" style. Of all the credits that are given (by law) to everyone involved in making a movie, the guy that does the cover art/movie poster is probably the only one not named. I didn't learn of whose art I was admiring for several years, after I met my husband. While we were dating, my husband showed me books that Timothy White, a friend of his, had published. In those books I discovered that I had admired other work that was Timothy's - a series that he did for feeding the homeless in NYC, featuring Hollywood Stars holding cardboard signs that read "Will work for food".

This book - shows familiar faces with the style and charm of a bygone era. Timothy has an ability to make these people feel comfortable and they seem to respond by giving him (and us) a fresh view, and many times, an aspect of their character that you didn't expect.

Timothy's ability to remove someone from their "normal" element, to enhance the natural surroundings, to provide grace, to reveal sensitivity, to use humor in a way that doesn't insult the subject or the viewer - he continues to capture and captivate my attention. Non-biased opinion, of course.
