Synopsis

François Nars, a respected photographer and one of the most renowned and imitated makeup artists in fashion today, presents his jaw dropping collection of more than 300 richly stylized portraits of today's most influential cultural figures.

François Nars, the esteemed French photographer, makeup artist, and founder of the luxe makeup brand NARS Cosmetics, found himself enamored by a new creative medium ever since he shot the first advertising campaign for his eponymous brand back in 1994. Since then, Nars has overseen every creative aspect of his brand and has authored two portrait books featuring his striking, modern, and visually dynamic compositions.

Years in the making, this highly anticipated and ultra-luxe photographic endeavour Persona explores Nars's fascination with portrait photography by showcasing an original 464 page portfolio of exquisitely dramatic portraits, shot by Nars himself, of creative luminaries who have inspired him such as Tilda Swinton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Liv Tyler, Alan Cumming, Marc Jacobs, Courtney Love, Charlotte Rampling, and Cindy Sherman. The timeless, intimate portraits of these talented individuals, all visionaries in their respective fields, are shot in color against a melodramatic black background with simple lighting, accentuating each subject in a bold and revealing fashion to capture their true essence and personality. This book is custom printed using specialty inks to produce images in ultra-rich vibrant colors with high gloss--truly unique and gorgeous. With part of the proceeds made to a global children's charitable organization, this volume is a collector's item for style, culture, and photography enthusiasts alike.
