What Galen Rowell does for mountains, Patrick Demarchelier does for living subects. He captures the character, the inner self, the most basic essence of a subject and capture it on black and white film. It's as if he breaths on his photographs and they come to life. He does it for Hillary Clinton, he does it for giraffes--all mesmerizing to look at. I wish he could photograph everyone in the world--it would be a so much more interesting place if all the static, cliche portraits were replaced with his vivid work. The book includes color and magazine shoots, too--which prove the range of his talent. Who else could capture a different facet of the exhaustively photographed Linda Evangelista in every shot? Or make the form, the line of a model reclining on a whitewashed wall as interesting as the model's beauty? A really great book of pictures whose character, form, lines will entrance any viewer.This book -- or should I say Demarchelier's work--deserves more than five stars. How about ten?

This is real impressive in term of b&w photography. I like his creative composition and expression of forms. It is more than beautiful pic and model, and impressive techniques. The variety of subject is another good reason to get this one.

Patrick Demarchelier's mastery of tecnique and abundance of creativity is unique and deserves to be fully explored in this unmissable book. Fashion photography lovers must thank Harper's Bazaar's genius for its continous stimulation of our senses. Thank you, thank you Pat.

I have always been a big fan of Sante D'Orazio's and Patrick De Marchelier's work.... this is ART by all means! If you're into photogrphy, it's a must that you take a look at their books. I wish I can buy all of D'orazio's and De Marchelier's work!
And I wish I can give it more than 5 stars!!!!

Patrick has done it again! Pictures from recent harpers bazaar shoots and the beautiful portraits of Princess Diana are in this book. Everybody should purchase this book.
