Fashion Photography as Art
This book is a beautiful, highly polished production that showcases the level of artistry possessed by the acclaimed photographer, Javier Vallhonrat. Much of the material is fashion-oriented, which is not surprising given Vallhonrat's famed career in this industry. But it's the still-lifes that are most astounding! The mix here of fashion shots, nudes, and still-life's is a bit incongruent, but the highly stylized and consistent "Vallhonrat" touch more than makes up for this break in the flow. The visual genius contained within this hardcover book is not to be missed. All those who love fashion photography and art photography too, will adore this work.
