The product of a unique, almost 20-year artistic collaboration between two stars in their respective fields, the actor and cultural icon John Malkovich and the photographer Sandro Miller, ‘The Malkovich Sessions’ represents a profound meeting of the minds. The centrepiece of this stunning book is ‘Homage’, a series of 32 images that recreate the iconic works of photographers whose work inspired and influenced Miller, from Edward Curtis to Diane Arbus to Irving Penn to Annie Leibovitz. Malkovich’s astonishing ability to channel others combines with Miller’s technical mastery to produce images that transcend and amplify the originals, while creating something new and exciting in themselves. Bracketed by Miller’s brilliant portraits of Malkovich as Malkovich, along with still work from a series of short films that the two made together, ‘The Malkovich Sessions’ is a marvellous record of friendship and inspiration. AUTHOR: Sandro Miller first became interested in photography at the age of 16, when he was exposed to the work of Irving Penn. Miller’s career now spans over thirty years, and his editorial work has been featured in The New Yorker, GQ, Esquire, Time, Forbes, Wired, New York Magazine, and ESPN Magazine, among others. He won a Saatchi & Saatchi Best New Director Award for his short film Butterflies featuring John Malkovich, a 2014 Lucie Award for International Photographer of the Year, and has been voted one of the top 200 advertising photographers in the world for the past five years. In addition to photography, Miller devotes himself to charitable organisations such as the American Heart Association, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Milwaukee, Arts for Life, Dance for Life, and AIDS Chicago. He lives and works in Chicago. SELLING POINTS:
