Unlike Any Other
By Robtimus Prime on September 18, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Platon is an absolute favorite of mine and I was thrilled to get this book.
The images are from an assignment he did for The New Yorker, so I had seen many of the portraits before...but never like this. Each photograph is as stark and rare as the one before it. The portraits are so raw and precise that it's hard not to stare and wonder how that "session" came to be. What other photographer has assembled Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama, and Muammar Qaddafi in one series of photographs? There is a true human presence in these images that should cause you great pause.
Truly incredible work from a brilliant photographer.

Not merely photos. These images are pieces of art.
By Ursula Heflick on September 29, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is a great collection of strangely intimate pictures. They feel so close, I sometimes felt almost a little embarassed to get such a close view of the person.

Overrated yet entertaining
By Ezzat El Halabi on September 20, 2014
Format: Hardcover
The book is somewhat overrated. If you assume the photographer is anonymous, you'll forgive the presentation of the portraits. I question the selection of the subjects, the way the photos are arranged, the different shooting styles, and why some photos are BW while others are full colour to the point of over saturation. Subjects are not arranged alphabetically, neither by country nor by name. They're not arranged by seniority, or how long they'd been in power. They're not arranged by continent, nor by country size. Some subjects are not the highest point of authority in their country. Only if the introduction gave more insights about the project and its presentation.
