Extrait : Charlize Theron, née le 7 août 1975 à Benoni en Afrique du Sud, est une actrice et ancien mannequin sud-africaine. Elle acquiert le statut d'héroïne nationale dans son pays natal pour avoir remporté l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice pour son rôle dans Monster en 2003. Charlize Theron naît à Benoni, une cité minière du Transvaal située à 25 kilomètres de Johannesburg le 7 août 1975, d'un père (Charles) d'ascendance française, et de mère (Gerda) d'origine allemande. Sa langue maternelle est l'afrikaans, l'anglais étant sa seconde langue. Charlize grandit en milieu rural dans la ferme de ses parents, par ailleurs propriétaires d'une entreprise de construction routière, et apprend le xhosa au contact des travailleurs de l'entreprise familiale. À l'âge de 12 ans, Charlize est envoyée à la National School Of The Arts de Johannesburg. Elle y entretient sa passion pour la danse, dont elle débute la pratique dès ses 6 ans avec des cours de ballet. Ses performances font le ravissement de sa mère, qui l'encourage à développer ses talents artistiques. Ces expériences positives rendent les retours au domicile plus difficiles, tant sa situation familiale se dégrade. Son père Charles sombre peu à peu dans l'alcoolisme, et se montre de plus en plus distant vis à vis de sa famille. Puis, un jour de 1991, alors que Charlize est de retour de l'école pour le week-end, sa mère Gerda subit à nouveau les violences de son mari, et le tue par balles en état de légitime défense. Aucune poursuite judiciaire n'est engagée. Sa mère a une influence positive dans sa vie, l'inscrit ensuite à un concours de man...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
In an increasingly mobile society, it's common to cross the globe many times in a single month.Journeys that might once have taken weeks, now take hours.All of this travel is a suitable metaphor for Andrew MacPherson's rise to the pinnacle of celebrity photography.He has literally traveled the world to profile the best-known people of our age; Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, and George Clooney to name a few.As he's done so, he's also embarked on an artistic journey to bring something fresh and inviting to each of his Images.In this quest, he employs a multitude of varied techniques, playing with form, context and color.A note of poignancy overshadows this work.Many of the original negatives were lost in a warehouse fire.It is a testament to the strength of MacPherson's work that even scanned from magazine pages—as some of these images are—the results still radiate vitality and power. ...

Stunning images
This book shows some really stunning work. Beautiful shots, and stunning BW images. The cover image is my favorite. I didn't know much about the photographer and his cover shot sold me on the book. I have enjoyed having it and feel it is a good book to have as part of my collection. Some of the images are fast paced, because the photographer was at the right place at the right time. I love how raw some of the images are, and the compositions are simple and clean, he really knows how to capture his subjects. Less is more.

How long do i have to wait for Four Million Miles?
I don't know how to clearly write the following sentence..... Andrew Macpherson is the photographer who has made The Best images of the people most often photographed. Does that make sense? Looking through this book, for the first time, for the second time, for the fifth time - i was struck by how often it is his photographs in which these oft-photographed, iconic figures look the best they have ever looked.

I've known about Macpherson since he began with The Face, but never really had a sense of his complete catalog of images until recently. He's simply wonderful. And, from all accounts, he seems to be a wonderful person, as well. That's too rare.

It's sad that this talented photographer lost so much of his original work in that warehouse fire. I had read about this prior to seeing the book in person, and wondered about the quality of the reproductions, as some come from scans of actual tear sheets. There is nothing to be concerned about, though. The book is beautiful, through and through.

It may be too early, but i am eagerly anticipating the next book.

I was amazed
I was amazed at the photography in this book. Andrew Macpherson captures the inner beauty and souls of his subjects. The lighting is extraordinary and the colors give every photo outstanding depth. Andrew is truly a gifted artist! ... Read more
