About the author

Born in Munich, Germany, in 1968, Martin Schoeller has become one of today's most prolific and well-known photographers. Based in New York City, Schoeller's many editorial, commercial and personal projects have yielded masterful images, widely recognized for their infamous subjects and iconic power.
Schoeller became a staff photographer for The New Yorker in 1999, joining the famed Richard Avedon. His work has also appeared in many additional magazines, including Vogue, TIME, Rolling Stone, National Geographic, GQ, and Vanity Fair, and has received awards from the American Society of Magazine Editors, Communication Arts, and the Society of Publication Designers, among other honors.
Schoeller's five books showcase a great range of the photographer's work, from a study of female bodybuilders to a compilation of Schoeller's signature "Close Up" portraits of celebrities, politicians, and unknowns. His most recent title, Portraits, is an unprecedented gathering of editorial images where the illustrious photographer's full range of expression is on display. With an impressive amount of variety and scale, Schoeller shares his signature compositional imagination alongside the wry wit that animates his work. Whether portraits of political leaders, Hollywood stars, business entrepreneurs, or contemporary music royalty, these images are as daring as they are exacting, playful and precise.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2015Great book of Schoellers work - not just the close up headshot he is famous for, but a wide range of portraits of celebrities and others of note. Seeing this range of work, I can really see how working for Leibovitz early on set him up for the way his photos are concepted and composed. Beautifully printed and produced on very high quality thick paper it feels great to page through…and it’s a nice size… large, but not unwieldily. It’s a bit expensive compared to other books Ive purchased like it, but his work is just sublime.

Daniele ButeraReviewed in Italy on December 6, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Un MUST per gli amanti del ritratto e della fotografia in genere
Un volume che non può mancare nella libreria di amanti della fotografia, come in quella di un professionista.
La creatività è la tecnica di Schoeller fanno scuola e si può passare ore a sfogliare ed a leggere le sue immagini.
5 stelle ma ne avrei messe anche il doppio.
WLennonphotoReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 20155.0 out of 5 stars One for the coffee table
Martin Schoeller is an incredible portrait photographer who works well with his subjects to create memorable images.
His book, Portraits, is a prime example of what a coffee table book should be, it grabs attention, is printed in high quality and shows his images off brilliantly.
