50 Photographs Hardcover – November 18, 2008

“I find photography a most mysterious process—capturing that moment in time and space, elusive and fleeting, and crystallizing it. You have made a photograph. It is its own thing now. To me, that is thrilling.”
—Jessica Lange

Actress Jessica Lange’s career spans more than 30 years and 30 films; the winner of two Academy awards, the one-time waitress is one of the most acclaimed performers of both the screen and the stage, as well as one of the most recognizable faces. 50 Photographs, however, finds Lange on the other side of the camera.

Originally drawn to the medium simply as a way to document the lives and growth of her children, Lange has now been photographing on and off for 15 years, approaching the art as an antidote to the constant fervor of Hollywood. “It is a way of working,” she says of her process, “that is the opposite of acting. Photography doesn’t depend on collaboration; it can be solitary and private.” A 2007 feature in Aperture, introduced by Mary Ellen Mark, gave the world its first taste of Lange’s visual work; now, 50 Photographs gathers her impressive portfolio, featuring images from Mexico, Africa, Romania, Russia, Finland, Italy, and France as well as the U.S., into her first-ever photography monograph. Alternately comforting and disquieting, Lange’s striking black-and-whites possess a kind of moody mystery that is appropriately cinematic.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The images in 50 Photographs are all black-and-white, shot mostly during Lange's considerable travels as an actress and as a volunteer.... There's even one photo from her first roll she took with her Leica, while in Romania, fifteen years ago. They are overwhelmingly quiet shots." --New York Magazine

Review

"As its title suggests, the tome is a smattering of Lange's photography over the past 15 years. All are black-and-white and many of them taken during family vacations in places such as Mexico, Romania and Finland."

Este fue comprado para un regalo de navidad, tras casi 3 semanas esperando el libro y siguiendo el rastreo de la guía me informaron que no seria hasta enero 08 que lo tendría, vaya sorpresa que justo el 23 estaba en la puerta de mi casa!!! EXCELENTE

Punto malo el embalaje un poco descuidado y se logro maltratar un poco de las tapas. Pero creo que no podría llegar intacto.

Gracias por el servicio.

Beautiful photos from Jessica Lange.

She possesses a fine eye for the perfect shot and this collection have been taken throughout her travels in the Americas, Spain and Mexico. They reflect her own renowned humanity perfectly.

Stunning stuff. She's obviously a force to be reckoned with, both in front and behind the camera lens.
