In this first-ever showcase of his work, Gregory Heisler, one of
professional photography's most respected practitioners, shares 50
iconic portraits of celebrities, athletes, and world leaders, along with
fascinating, thoughtful, often humorous stories about how the images
were made. From his famously controversial portrait of President George
H.W. Bush (which led to the revocation of Heisler's White House
clearance) to his evocative post-9/11 Time magazine cover of Rudolph
Giuliani, to stunning portraits of Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington,
Hillary Clinton, Michael Phelps, Muhammad Ali, and many more, Heisler
reveals the creative and technical processes that led to each frame. For
Heisler's fans and all lovers of photography, Gregory Heisler: 50
Portraits offers not only a gorgeous collection of both black-and-white
and color portraits, but an engrossing look at the rarely seen art of a
master photographer at work. With a foreword by New York City mayor
Michael R. Bloomberg.
