Editorial Review:
A creative fixture in the Hollywood art world, Douglas Kirkland's career as an award-winning photographer spans five decades and six continents and his archives contain some of the most internationally recognized and iconic photographs of our age, including the famous kiss between Diana Spencer and the Prince of Wales on the balcony of Buckingham Palace directly after their wedding. Spanning his impressive career from the 1960's through today, FREEZE FRAME (October 2007) showcases a unique insider's heretofore unpublished "look" into the film industry and features some of the most famous actors and cultural moments of our time.
Captured by Douglas Kirkland's unique artistic vision, FREEZE FRAME includes virtually every beloved movie star who has worked in the industry over the last half-century. Among the extraordinary images included here are photographs of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton caught in an embrace in 1963 on the set of The Sand Piper, Dudley Moore playing the piano in his home in 1982, and Moulin Rouge's on-set extravaganza in 2000. In addition to shooting all of Hollywood's major legends, he has also photographed some of the most magical moments in cinematic history, giving us behind-the-scenes glimpses at the makings of some of the greatest movies of all time.
Because of his renown, this photographer has had exceptional access to the most exciting movie studios, locations, sets, and luminaries, near and far. From The Sound of Music to Titanic, FREEZE FRAME is an extraordinary artist's personal collection of memorable images, most of which have never been exhibited or published before. Sure to please photo and film buffs alike, the book is organized by decade with dates, and each chapter opens with a list of the films included in the photography section for the decade that follows, giving the film buff incredible information in addition to being a gorgeous visual record. The combination of fine art, access, and longevity make this a book that no aficionado of film, photography or cinematic history will want to be without.
