OverviewIn this groundbreaking publication - the first full-scale study of the face in contemporary photography - William A. Ewing announces the death of the conventional portrait and the birth of a new approach to representation. In challenging accepted notions of the photographic portrait, these images offer up a provocative critique that makes us think again about a deceptively familiar subject. They may be alluring, touching or frightening - but these photographs are never less than riveting. Full Product DetailsAuthor: William A.
