Focus is an enthralling and riveting read.\" --Tim Gunn\"Smart, well-researched...engaging...canny\" (New York Times Book Review), Focus is a \"fast-paced--and clearly insider--look at the rarefied, sexy world of fashion photography\" (Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada). New York Times bestselling author Michael Gross brings to life the wild genius, egos, passions, and antics of the men (and a few women) behind the camera, probing the lives, hang-ups, and artistic triumphs of more than a dozen of fashion photography's greatest visionaries, including Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Bill King, Helmut Newton, Gilles Bensimon, Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel, and Bob and Terry Richardson. Tracing the highs and lows of fashion photography from the late 1940s to today, Focus takes you behind the scenes to reveal the revolutionary creative processes and fraught private passions of these visionary magicians, \"delving deep into the fascinating rivalries\" (The Daily News) between photographers, fashion editors, and publishers like Condé Nast and Hearst. Weaving together candid interviews, never-before-told insider anecdotes and insights born of his three decades of front-row and backstage reporting on modern fashion, Focus is \"simply unrivaled...a sensation....Gross is a modern-day Vasari, giving us The Lives of the Artists in no small measure\" (CraveOnline).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Gross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476763477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Gross is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers \u003ci\u003eHouse of Outrageous Fortune, 740 Park\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eModel: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eRogues' Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Unreal Estate\u003c\/i\u003e.
