Social Activism, Iconic Portraiture and great music all in one!,
By
This review is from: Individuals: Portraits from the Gap Collection (Hardcover)
This edition was a definate surprise. First, the copy I received was bound in red fabric (not purple as pictured) and was centered with a portrait of Willie Nelson. When removing the protective plastic I then saw that this book is part of the Gap's PRODUCT (RED) campaign with Bono and that GAP's profit from the book will be used to help fight AIDS in Africa (an unexpected plus). If this info had been posted on Aamazon as part of the item description I probably would have bought it sooner.
About the book itself: It is great. Some classiccelebrity portraiture by the likes of Herb Ritz, Anie Leibovitz and others. If someone were to ask me for a great example of portraiture from 1990-2000's I would recomend this book o them without hesitation! Oh yeah, another bonus: Inside the back cover is a music CD of some of the more popular songs used in Gap ads from the Past two decades. So, to sum up: For just a few bucks you get a great refernece source for modern portraiture (also a great coffee table book), social activism and a kickin soundtrack. Is that a deal or what?

Best Coffe Table Book,
By Hollywood Glitter (Anaheim, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Individuals: Portraits from the Gap Collection (Hardcover)
I'd have to consider this one of my favorite coffee table books af all time. Gap has been drawing us in with such simple, great quality photos
for more than thirty years. What a great way to remeber all of them. So many people from so many walks of life. This book includes essays from some surprising people and a cd with some memorable music from the commercials. The best thing has to be all proceeds are used for Product Red, a global fund to help women and children in Africa

Very Interesting,

This review is from: Individuals: Portraits from the Gap Collection (Hardcover)
I had seen this book at the Gap for some time before I gave in to buy it. Now it sits on my coffee table and is looked at almost every day by my family and friends.
It is short on words but full of great portraits of the famous and not so much so. I have a fun time looking up some of the people i do not know, including the photographers. A great addition to coffee tables and great for any portrait photographer looking for ideas.
