5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Portraits!, 12 May 2004
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Patrick Demarchelier (Paperback)
This is one of the best books of photographic portraits that it has been my pleasure to view.

Before going further, let me observe that the book contains much female nudity that would earn an "R" rating if this were a motion picture.

Glenn O'Brien in the book's introduction captures the essence of the book well, "The beauty standard is being raised once again."

Whether the subjects are beautiful (and many are) or not, the result is the same -- a deep look into the personality and character of the model done in large, vivid detail in wonderfully contrasting duotone. One of the best tests for this book is to compare the celebrity images you see here with others you have seen of these same people. These images are more warm, more revealing, and more fun to see. Mr. Demarchelier has a light touch that gets out the happiest version of a person. You'll find yourself laughing and smiling your way through this collection, for sure.

The portraits displayed here are uniformly of very high quality, and provide nice contrasts of subjects (nose rings, boulders, children, and elephants among the beautiful people).

Here are some of my many favorites:

Nude, St. Barthelemy, 1994

Nude, St. Barthelemy, 1989

Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales, London, 1993

Warren Beatty, Annette Bening and their daughter, Los Angeles, 1994

Versailles gardens, Versailles, France, 1994

Gianni Versace, Paris, 1992

Nude, New York, 1995

Corbassiere, Paris, 1994

Helena Christensen, New York, 1992 (second image)

Cindy Crawford, Leh, India, 1989

Jasper Johns and Leo Castelli, New York, 1993

Roy Lichtenstein, New York, 1993

Naomi Campbell, New York, 1990

Isabella Rosselini, New York, 1994

Robin Williams (4), New York, 1990

Robert De Niro, New York, 1990

Sisters, St. Barthelemy, 1991

Christy Turlington, New York, 1990

Alice Dodd, New York, 1994

Natasha Kinski, New York, 1993

Warren Beatty from "Dick Tracy," Los Angeles, 1989

Elton John, Paris, 1992

Janet Jackson, Miami, Florida, 1993

Arthur Demarchelier, New York, 1991

Patrick and Mia Demarchelier and their three sons, New York, 1987

Meg Ryan, New York, 1994

Claudia Schiffer, St. Barthelemy, 1991

Paul Newman, Beacon, New York, 1994

Elle Macpherson, New York, 1990

Cindy Crawford, New York, 1990

After you look closely at these images, notice how lines and flaws provide balance and perspective in the same way that perfect figures provide proportion. How can you create more waves of enjoyable symmetry?

Drink deeply from the bubbling joy of humanity!

4.0 out of 5 stars Vibrant black and white images, 8 Oct 2000
By Runar Ursin Reed (Hafrsfjord Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Patrick Demarchelier (Paperback)
While looking through this book, I found myself smiling. That in itself should be recommendation enough. Some of my favourite portraits can be found in this book. Demarchelier seems to be able to present to us the 'essence' of the person in front of his lens. Just look at his portrait(s) of Robin Williams. These four images of him matches my perception of him perfectly. The same thing can be said about his famous images of Princess Diana. Royal grace, but without the 'distance' you usually feel when looking at a royal portrait. Which of course was much of the reason for Princess Diana's popularity in the first place. I wrote that I think Demarchelier manages to present the 'essence' of the the person. I would like to modify that a little. He seems to be able to present the 'essence' of the public figure in front of his lense. His images matches the mental image you already have of that person. This might sound like a negative objection, but it really is not.

5.0 out of 5 stars a DEMARCHELIER must have ., 6 Nov 2007
By Mr. A. J. Crook (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Patrick Demarchelier (Paperback)
my adoration and fascination for the 1990's supermodels introduced me to numerous geniuses in photograhy. LINDBERGH (10 WOMEN), AVEDON (NAKED AND THE DRESSED), Meisel, BENSIMON and of course DEMARCHELIER
this is a wonderful book, the paper is amasingly smooth. the cover is mesmerizing and yet the identity of the model is a mystery (i read once it was Stephanie SEYMOUR...?). Most supermodels are featured here, but not enough of them for my liking, too many celebrities of the big screen and the stage. GLORIOUS CINDY (a few, NUDES), KATE (only 1, for CK), CLAUDIA, HELENA (2 gorgeous & topless), NAOMI, AMBER (with a snake), NADJA (a black and white glamorous nude), ELLE, SHALOM, LINDA (one of her best portrait, evening dress)...
the only downside is that some of the pictures used here are also used in his other book "FORMS"( AMBER VALETTA -blue cover book), and it is a shame, the guy has thousands of photos to pick from, a missed opportunity.
and yet, i own both books. this one is the best out of the 2.
