Andrew Zuckerman set out to photograph the world's most celebrated elders — Judi Dench, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Stephen Hawking, among many others — against a pure white ground and ask them one question: What is wisdom?
The result is a book unlike most photography books: intimate, direct, and genuinely surprising. Zuckerman's portraits are meticulously lit and composed, each face given the same clean, equal attention. The words beside them are not platitudes. The wisdom here is earned — from lives that have traveled far enough to see things clearly.
Condition: Excellent. Clean boards, tight spine, pages bright and unmarked.
Publisher: Abrams. Photographs and concept by Andrew Zuckerman.
