'I caress the jacket, admire the spine, suggest we smell the binding.... I coo over the endpapers'
Gyles Brandreth, Sunday Telegraph

Snowdon: A Retrospective covers the complete and extraordinary range of Snowdon's photography over almost 50 years; including his witty fashion tableaux, which set the style for modern British magazine photography; his pioneering reportage for Vanity Fair magazine and the Sunday Times; his still-life and landscape photography, his dynamic studies of the ballet and theatre and, of course, his exceptional celebrity portraits.

At one point or another (and often concurrently), Snowdon has been an architect; writer; award-winning film-maker; designer for the stage, the garden and for industry; craftsman; inventor; and spokesman for a multitude of causes - as well as one of the foremost photographers of this century. This impressive and lavishly illustrated book is designed to be in keeping both with the cornucopia of Snowdon's achievements and with his international status as one of the world's foremost creative photographers.
