Dawoud Bey: Portraits 1975-1995

Rating:
Summary: an excellent book of photography
Review: Many of these photos were taken on a huge polariod camera and taken as multiple shots, put together in creative ways, where an arm of each model, or an earring, may be shared in the portrait of the other. People holding each other are literally torn apart at the arm. The earlier black and white photos in new york are also expressive and good. Certain ones that stand out are the man in front of the store on Fulton Street, as well as nikki and manting, and one of a girl with folded arms and tatooed wrists.
