This is one of those wild, weird photography books that is sure to amuse. I'm pretty sure a couple of these celebrities are Canadian but we'll give them a pass because it's actually kinda funny to include them.Chances are if you read magazines you've seen a few of these shots before but collected Trachtenburg's creativity shines. I'd love to know how he manages to get these entertainers to go along with some of these ideas because I spent the better part of an evening chuckling and enjoying the strange and hysterical portraits. I'm not sure who to recommend this book to in all honesty but if you're visiting it here on come on... you're probably into it. Buy it. Enjoy!Note: ARC received via NetGalley.
Red-Blooded American Male: Photographs is a beautiful coffee table book full of humorous and sometimes super sexy photographs of (mostly) American men. Super. Sexy. American. Men.There is a short and funny interview with the author/photographer/documentary film maker Robert Trachtenberg. Also, most of the photos include little tidbits about the circumstances surrounding the shoot.That said, let's get back to the photographs. (This is where I had some beautiful photos attached. Photos that, for whatever reason, would not allow me to post with this review. In fact, having those pictures attached sent my review into limbo for a week. You'll have to take my word for it-the photographs are gorgeous.)A lot of the photographs are funny and others rather touching. (Tim Conway, Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence) (Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks) (Really, they were!)I guess I need to stop there or you would have no reason to buy this book. It's obvious that Mr. Trachtenberg has something about him that establishes a certain rapport with his subjects. Whether it's their confidence that they're in good hands and they trust the man, or if it's something else, I don't pretend to know.I do know that even though I have an advance copy on my Kindle, I'm feeling a need to buy this one in hardcover. Just so that I can pick it up anytime I want and view the work of a true artist. Highly recommended!
