Chris Craymer: From the Heart [Hardcover]

While developing the concept for his latest book, From the Heart, photographer Chris Craymer was inspired by the idea of not only photographing his subjects, but also interviewing them, to create holistic portraits. Known internationally for his fashion and lifestyle photography, Craymer had never before played the role of interviewer. The ritual and vulnerability of having one’s portrait taken forges a trust between photographer and subject, and Craymer found that it was as if a door had been opened during the photography sessions, as the words in the interviews flowed from the heart. The resulting portraits are unique and intimate: the reader senses Craymer’s connection with each of his subjects.Exhibiting truly exquisite photography, Chris Craymer's From the Heart is an extraordinary and impressive body of work that is exceptionally absorbing from beginning to end. From the Heart is very highly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as both community and academic library Contemporary American Photography collections.
