Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Maverick Records CEO Oseary presents this collection of photographs he took of client Madonna on her 2006 Confessions tour. He admits in the introduction that he was an amateur who was using an unfamiliar camera. At times it shows, but the mostly large-format, single-page shots and collages feature Madonna gyrating or playing her shiny black guitar—complete with stage pyrotechnics and the backstage action, as well as audience reaction throughout. In the end, Oseary nicely captures the feel of the tour. Fun highlights include a section on Madonna's disco set and white, Saturday Night Fever–inspired costume, entitled Music Inferno. Proceeds from the book go to Michael Berg and Madonna's charity, Raising Malawi, which brings relief to the large orphan population in Malawi. (Oct.)

Book Description

Photography and introduction by Guy Oseary

Every time I do a show, I die a little bit, but no shit is worth doing unless you¹re willing to die for it. --Madonna

Madonna Confessions is the first official, inside book on the most famous woman in the world since the 1992 release of the landmark monograph Sex.

With over 250 never-before-seen images taken by Guy Oseary and personally approved by Madonna, the photographs featured here showcase the provocative themes of her live performances -- from equestrian to urban Bedouin, and from glam punk to disco fever -- and celebrates what The New York Times called "the sheer spectacularity of her physical form." Enhanced with Madonna's short, sassy interspersed quotes, Confessions is a matchless, must-have record of one of the highlights of her career.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Confessions Tour up Close and Personal, April 17, 2009
Guy Oseary is the CEO of Maverick Records, Madonna's record label, and not a professional photographer. Yet, he took it upon himself to photo-document Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour and did a tolerably good job. The book is all photos, with the occasional quote from Madonna overlaid on the picture. The pictures are mostly full-page and close to the action, giving the viewer a feel for the concert energy and productions. While the book is not organized in a sequential format, it focuses on each song, showing different views from the different performances around the world. Each page is labeled with a mostly transparent font, with the date and location of the show it was taken at, but often the text blends in with the background so much as to be unreadable. Proceeds from the book help benefit Madonna's Raising Malawi Foundation, benefiting orphans in Malawi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but strange odor, May 17, 2009
By Potocky (WOODRIDGE, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very nice book but it has a strange odor. Is it the ink? The paper? I'm not sure. Strange.
