Perhaps best known for his fashion and beaut y photography, internationally famous John Swannell has, in the last twenty years, travelled all over the world photogra phing people and landscapes. Here is a major retrospective o f his work. '
The book I have is published by Pavilion Books Limited, 1996.The size is optimal for a photographic book, being some 250x350mm and giving ample area for the photos. Most photos use all of the page and some are spread over both faces of the opening.There is a one page foreword by Mr. Geldof and the rest of the unnumbered pages are categorized; fashion, nudes, landscape, portraits the latter being almost half of the book and the three remaining categories dividing the other half in equal thirds.Of the 22 nude work several are Swannell classics, and all of the work in this book are printed excellently. All the landscape photos are tinted brown. This book certainly complements an older book by the same author; "Fine Lines", 1982 which like this one will stay in my reference library of fine photographic art.
Beautiful work...stunning photography

Spectacular pictures, black and white or lightly tinted..wonderful loving understanding of the human form and truly magical landscapes as well. Juxtaposition of landscapes and humans enoble both and enrich the viewers. And the portraits capture so much more than the physical....pieces of soul linger on these pages.
