Printed in Italy, the generous 13 x 10 ins. book has 240 pages, with lush images printed in five colors and has a cloth bound cover with sleeve. About the Author Recognized world-wide for having created the most imposing catalogue of famous faces in recent times, American photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders offers over 350 intimate photographs including Mohammad Ali, David Bowie, David Byrne, Francesco Clemente, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Willem de Koonig, Al Gore, Vaclav Havel, Jasper Johns, Monica Lewinsky, Toni Morrison, Lou Reed and Steven Spielberg to name just several. In his characteristically minimalist style, Greenfield-Sanders places his subjects before a dark background illuminated by a single light source. For each sitting, the artist takes only a few shots, structuring the formal layout and other details before the portrait is taken.
Greenfield-Sanders' signiture work is shot in super-large format with a 20 x 24 Polaroid camera and with his antique 11 x 14 inch view camera. His photographs have been compared to the work of Nadar and ANdy Warhol, and reflect art historical references to the great court portraits of Ingres and Rembrandt, as well as the religious imagery of Carravaggio. But Greenfiald-Sanders juxtaposes elements og these and other influences to generate a technique and phychological power that are entirely his own.
Greenfield-Sanders has worked on projects for major magazines including Time, Vanity Fair, index, Cover, and has been commissioned for major advertising campaigns. He has had more than thirty solo exhibitions around the world and his work is included in major private and public collections.
