During the 1980s and 1990s, top fashion photographer Sante D’Orazio kept a diary that he published in 1998 in his first book A Private View. Featuring photographs of stars alongside pages from this diary, with Polaroid snaps, air tickets, notes, and other kinds of personal souvenirs, it provided a peep behind the scenes of his work and at the stars he worked with, such as Julia Roberts, Keanu Reeves, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Depp, John Travolta, Kate Moss and many others. An instant international bestseller, the unique book was quickly sold out. It is finally available again in an unchanged second edition.
