Description
In Michael Clinton's earlier books - all travel photography - he has shown us the world in context, in long shots that describe people, places and things/architecture and design objects. In Closer he looks at the world through a telescopic lens, honing in on specifics to people, their cultures and their environments. An impulse item for the photographic and travel aficionado, this book is just a fun read.
Reviews / Votes
The images in Closer allow him to focus on the little things that give a culture its character: the way eggs are displayed in cellophane bags in a market in Laos, the candles dripping wax in a candelabrum in Puglia, Italy. -- Dan Shaw * The New York Times, May 8, 2015 * Clinton's up close and personal images in this publication are thrilling to me. The view through a fine photographers lens brings us stunning beauty that is often overlooked in everyday life. -- Karena Albert * Arts by Karena, June 16, 2015 * Closer: Seeing the World in Details is a delightful book that celebrates the little things in order to help us see the big things more clearly. -- Dori P * From a Yellow House, June 26, 2015 * Michael is a world-class traveler; a pilot; he's an author; he's a serious runner; he's got a vineyard in Argentina, and a real estate mogul. -- Kristi Garced * Women's Wear Daily, December 1st, 2016 *More details
