书籍介绍
A personal and complete retrospective by one of the most important twentieth-century photographers. Elegantly curated by the legendary photographer and his youngest daughter Frances von Hofmannsthal, Snowdon looks back at an exceptional life and features a selection of 175 full-color and black-and-white stylish fashion photographs and iconic portraits taken throughout his expansive and influential career. Having started photographing at a young age, Snowdon focused primarily on theater, fashion, and society photography before becoming the official Royal photographer and starting a six-decade working relationship with Vogue. In 1960, he married Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and in 1961 he began his illustrious career with The Sunday Times magazine. Known for his expressive and candid portraits, using both subtle humor and quiet sincerity, Snowdon’s work evokes a sense of familiarity met with extreme beauty. His successes have branched equally from the worlds of high fashion and celebrity to the British Royal family, making his audience vast and beloved. The subjects featured include Cecil Beaton, Charlie Chaplin, David Bowie, Marlene Dietrich, Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Serge Gainsbourg, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jack Nicholson, among others. Archive material includes previously unpublished polaroids, private scrapbooks, and letters.

It seems to me that every photographer I saw in the book shop is one of the most important photographer in XXX century...cliche while indeed reasonable——after read their photos.
全英文的，也没明白是什么项目，摄影师是谁，就那么看了 。
年代应该比较早了，都是正正方方的视角拍摄的。内容觉得可能一般，视角和构图都太普通了。
我觉得这种大的铺满整张纸的排版方式不好，这么大一本书，铺满整页，如果举起来拿远看的话，不方便，平放着看吧，头顶的灯反光，颜色什么的就看不正，凑近看吧，照片怎么能这么看呢？所以要么印小一点，要么直接用正常书籍大小印刷。
