International Center for Photography monograph on celebrated fashion photographer Hoyningen-Heune. "Early in his career as a photographer, Heune had learned that 'less is more' in the confines of the studio: 'I would plan backgrounds and introduce various props, then in the middle of a sitting I would discover that they hindered me and I would instantly discard them, no matter how much I had planned the overall effect, and once I had freed myself of all unessential contraptions, I would return to the simplicity and calm of an unencumbered scene and concentrate on the mood and the attitude of the madel'" (from the essay by photography historian and curator Ewing). Illustrated throughout with black-and-white plates; with a chronology and bibliography. Minor edgewear, else fine. Item #9277
