The Light Between Us
Product ID: 8081314
• The virtuoso images of one of the most in-demand fashion photographer, now assembled in one volume for the first time • Sensitive portraits of international stars including Kim Basinger, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, John Malkovich, Charlize Theron, and many others • Vincent Peters' proceeds from this book benefit the Family Justice Center of the Protection Against Violence department at Berlin's Charité hospital How can a photographer of internationally known stars create iconic portraits that linger in the memory — especially since these actors have already been photographed and filmed millions of times? Vincent Peters — who has been working since 1995 for magazines such as Vogue and GQ and fashion brands including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurent — relies entirely on the classic art of portrait photography for his pictures. Focusing on small gestures and subtle productions instead of prominent poses, he ensures that his subjects do not disappear into the backdrop and that their faces are the focal point. Emma Watson's features are lent a tragic note with white makeup. Annie Lennox appears like a stern missionary in a suit and fedora. Photographs of stars such as David Beckham and Christian Bale are markedly masculine. Even more intimate are the images that Peters has taken in private surroundings, like when he accompanied Monica Bellucci during her second pregnancy. His sophisticated lighting has the most impact in his black-and-white photos, bestowing them with a breathtaking cinematic quality. Text in English, German and French. Review: Gorgeous, stunning collection - Purchased this as a gift for my husband and it's simply stunning. We collected photography coffee table books and this is a welcome addition to the collection. Clean, beautiful full-page images, almost begging to be read cover to cover. We were not particularly familiar with Peters' work, though we recognized several images in the book and enjoyed seeing his use of light and cinematic compositions. Review: This is a beautiful photography book - This is a beautiful photography book, very well made, excellent printing. I did not know much about Vincent Peters before ordering this, but if you're a fan of George Hurrell and his classic Hollywood lighting, you will find these photographs to be in the same vein, but with a more modern interpretation. Very lovely.

every page is beautiful. The printing and packaging do the photographs justice
This book is simply gorgeous, every page is beautiful. The printing and packaging do the photographs justice, and the photographs themselves are wonderful. Peters' lighting does magical things to skin tones, and his images are so unbelievably sensual, without being glaringly obvious or tacky.

Ok, but I don't think I'd buy it again for the hefty price tag.
The inside of the book and pictures are nice, but not as amazing as I'd hoped. The cover leaves a bit to be desired. Was thinking it'd be a true coffee table book with either a glossy wrap or magazine type cover. Instead it's a linen book with the photo pictured glued onto the cover. Also it showed up a bit dinged up, just like they didn't take care of it in the warehouse. It's nice, but not the WOW coffee table book, or even photo book I was hoping for.

Stupendo
Libro assolutamente straordinario; alcuni soggetti sono davvero affascinanti e sensuali e le dimensioni delle fotografie ti consentono di godere di ogni singolo dettaglio. Un libro imperdibile per tutti gli appassionati di fotografia, ma non solo. Fantastico.
