SynopsisCelebrity portraiture from the acclaimed British photographer and author, with David Bowie, Cate Blanchett, Iggy Pop and more This coffee table volume is the first monograph dedicated to British photographer Chris Floyd s (born 1968) 30-year career. Featuring over 200 photographs, it includes his sessions with Paul McCartney, David Attenborough, Debbie Harry, David Hockney, David Bowie, Marcus Rashford, Cate Blanchett, Oasis, Iggy Pop and many more. The photographs are accompanied by a collection of stories that paint a broader and sometimes funnier picture of his oeuvre. For a long time people have told me how much they love reading what I write, as much as looking at the photographs I produce, and that they would love to own a book of this work and these tales, he writes. After nearly 30 years in the game, perhaps now is the time to parlay the most interesting, funny, odd, disturbing, confrontational, collaborative and life affirming photographic moments., This coffee table volume is the first monograph dedicated to Chris Floyd's 30-year career as a photographer.
