4.4 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

Building on the success of his previous titles, Close Up and Identical, Martin Schoeller's momentous Portraits is cause for celebration. The illustrious photographer's full range of expression is on display in this unprecedented gathering of editorial images. 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. Regardless of the subject and setting, Schoeller's photographs seemingly come to life. While Portraits will surely thrill devoted fans, it will also attract new admirers with images they've noted in top magazines. Every frame in this expansive volume is touched with Schoeller's distinctive flare for creative meticulously realized worlds--and confirm that he's a talent that consistently resets the limits of photographic portraiture.

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.

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One for the coffee table
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2015
    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.
