Brief description:
Photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber first rose to international prominence in the early 1980s on the success of images that combined classical styling with more visceral underpinnings of mood and sexuality. His ability to construct a seamless sense of romance and drama created the central public images for fashion houses like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Versace, and Abercrombie and Fitch, as well as earning him an enduring presence as a contributor to magazines at the very highest levels in the industry. Throughout his career, Weber has worked in various forms-he has directed seven short- and feature- length films, published more than 37 books, and has held more than 60 exhibitions worldwide-extending his lifelong exploration of the nature of human relationships.
Review Quotes: "The beautifully edited and masterfully composed tome My Education serves as a kind of personal retrospective of the great photographer... His photographs exude an incredible naturalness, a deep trust in respect, appreciation, grace, and elegance."-- "Der Standard"
