One of the foremost fashion and magazine-cover photographers of the past two decades, American photographer Mark Abrahams has straddled the gap between fashion and celebrity portraiture with guileless simplicity and exacting care. A self-taught photographer, Abrahams portrays his subjects with an introspective depth and candor. His subjects run the gamut of the A-list: Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett, Catherine Deneuve, Charlize Theron, Daft Punk, Dennis Hopper, George Clooney, Kylie Minogue, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Obama, Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, Philip Roth, Roberto Bolle, The Fiery Furnaces, Uma Thurman, Wim Wenders and countless others. This volume provides a dazzling parade of the glitterati under Abrahams' lens, devoid of affectation or artifice. Abrahams is donating his portion of the proceeds from this book to benefit Hope For Haiti Now. Mark Abrahams was born in 1958 in Santa Ana, California. The gift of a Nikon FM from his mother ignited his passion for photography. Working as a truck-driver by day, Abrahams transformed his tiny bathroom into a functioning darkroom to develop film, retouch negatives and manipulate surfaces at night. Against all odds, Abrahams found himself in the early 1990's shooting iconic musicians, jetting to Milan with supermodels and landing editorial shoots with L'Uomo Vogue, German Vogue and GQ in New York.
