Tretick's achievement is the masterful construction of legend through careful framing and omission--and teamwork with his subjects. Indeed JFK choreographed much of this work himself.... The opposite of Goldin and Avedon's warts-and-all images, Tretick's work is a noteworthy example of unapologetically romantic American portraiture., Praise for Capturing Camelot : "A labor-of-love collection of work by the photographer she praises as 'my best friend…a pal without parallel.' … a tribute to a photographer, a president and a time when the former functioned as the world's eyes into the latter. A pleasant mixture of iconic and surprising shots-a photo book that is ultimately as much about the photographer, and the access he gained, as it is about its subject." -- Kirkus Reviews "Tretick's achievement is the masterful construction of legend through careful framing and omission--and teamwork with his subjects.
