Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

I almost immediately dismissed it for lack of substance because, well, it was Vogue. So glad I opened it, it turned out to be fantastic!
In the end it is a beautiful book overflowing with beautiful images of many of today’s musical personalities.
Apart from the well-known musical personalities, what I like most about the book is the non-hierarchical, non-chronological arrangement, which helps to put the art of photography front and centre and offers the opportunity to closely inspect how e.g. Richard Avedon, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot captured the essence of musicians through their unique lenses.

What reviewers didn't like

I will resist the urge to deduct points for the totally not necessary inclusion of Kim Kardashian.
As far as the text and context, well that that leaves a lot to be desired as none of it offers a hell of a lot of insight as to the true roots of the category of images. It will make for a perfect coffee table book for the pop star inclined but the text can easily be done without.
