Mario Testino 🇵🇪 Fashion & Portrait Photographer, by Deleted on Jul 6, 2010 21:33:41 GMT 1, (I also wonder how long these books have been sitting around signed, didn't he snuff it 6 years ago?)
Helmut Newton died 6 years ago, is that who you were wanking over thinking of?

Mario Testino 🇵🇪 Fashion & Portrait Photographer, by jp on Jul 7, 2010 8:55:44 GMT 1, Is everyone here buying this book based purely off of Testino's reputation and the 3 small photos of Kate they show in the preview? As a photo book collector, I admit I have to do this sometimes, but never at that price point! At least the production quality should be high, as Taschen doesn't skimp on the limited editions. I have LaChapelles "Artists and Prostitutes" and it really is a piece of art in its own right.
Personally I'm waiting for Phaidon to release "Steve McCurry: The Iconic Photographs" in September, which is another large format deluxe edition book (with print), but at half the price on Amazon. A much better deal IMO.

Thanks very much for the link. Steve's work is always stunning, as are phaidon's large format books so this should be great and also a very affordable way of getting a signed McCurry print>
Have got my order in - cheers

Mario Testino 🇵🇪 Fashion & Portrait Photographer, by bonesy on Jul 8, 2010 0:02:47 GMT 1, Completely off topic.
I saw there was a book signed by Syd Barrett shortly before his death. Was this "news" in the UK. I heard nothing about it stateside till a year after release and it was long gone.
That book I would have paid $500 for.

I have one of these and it is beautifully made - two colour leather bound - a real work of art.
Signed ones went fast - but the publisher has a signed Jimmy Page book coming out! They are not cheap but far better made and printed than Taschen or Phaidon.
They are mostly rock photography (but they also have a Peter Blake print set)
Check them out www.genesis-publications.com
Some of their books - like the Syd one and 'Exile on Main Street' are worth a mint. They had some early copies of 'Blinds and Shutters' signed by Warhol amonst others.

Still off topic - I ordered the Jimmy Page book a month or two ago, although it's not due to be published now until September due to some last minute changes. Can't wait.

It looks fantastic...

By that I dont mean each artist has 1 thread to promote themselves.... just one simple thread to stick all the books
