SynopsisPeriodical Photographs, the long-awaited first monograph from top editorial photographer Dan Winters, provides an overview of his assignment work as a contributor to some of America's most prestigious magazines, including New York, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times Magazine. With an emphasis on his iconic portraiture, this volume considers the body of work of a photographer whose unique sensibility is both adaptable and instantly recognizable. Winters is responsible for the definitive portraits of some of Hollywood's most photographed A-listers (Gwyneth Paltrow, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio) and music superstars (Bono, Eminem, Willie Nelson). His voracious passion for the quirky and the creative also draws him to visual artists, scientists, architects, and everyday, extraordinary Americans. Designed by Scott Dadich, the award-winning creative director of Wired magazine, Periodical Photographs showcases a photographer at the top of his game., With one foot in art history and the other firmly in his own time, Dan Winters has produced many of the most classic celebrity portraits of the past 15 years. Sometimes the poses are familiar from early Renaissance portraiture--the profile or three-quarter profile view of the subject beginning from the chest up, the eyes raised skyward, the background a murky monochrome. In other portraits, Winters conjures early photography, and in yet others, one finds entirely contemporary backdrops of freeways or industrial interiors. He excels in lighting, shrouding his subjects in shadow (Morrissey) or very slightly bleaching them (Kate Winslet) to produce a strange remoteness. Winters is responsible for the definitive portraits of Hollywood's most photographed A-listers (Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio) and music superstars (Bono, Eminem, Willie Nelson), as well as scientists, architects and everyday, extraordinary Americans. This long-awaited first monograph from this top editorial photographer provides an overview of his assignment work as a contributor to some of America's most prestigious magazines, including New York , Esquire , Rolling Stone and The New York Times Magazine , with an emphasis on his portraiture.
