5.0 out of 5 stars Like a "Master's Class" in Commercial Photography, March 17, 2004

This review is from: The photo illustration, Bert Stern (Masters of contemporary photography) (Hardcover)

This book is part of a series, "Masters of Contemporary Photography," which was an outstanding effort to highlight the work of individual photographers, providing lots of behind the scenes information on the technique and process behind the images. I own the Bert Stern volume, which I purchase sometime in the 1970s. Not having read it in years, I recently returned to it and found it absolutely incredible in its depth and insight. Re-intrigued by the "series," I came here to Amazon to look into purchasing the other volumes, which are, unfortunately, out-of-print. (Back then, I didn't buy the more volumes because, as a teenager, I couldn't afford the $4.95 cover price!) I'll report back on the others when I receive more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic if you can find it, July 13, 2002

This review is from: The photo illustration, Bert Stern (Masters of contemporary photography) (Paperback)

How unfortunate it is that this book is out of print. Bert Stern is one of the greats of photography in the latter half of the 20th Century. This is the man that brought commercial photography to a new level, setting the standard for what could be done, and what would have to be matched by the rest of the industry. As a photographer myself, I have found his work in all forms, this book included, to be a major source of inspiration. I highly recommend this volume for anyone who can find a copy.
