5.0 out of 5 stars Got for my daughter as a gift
My daughter, who is into photography, asked for this for Christmas and she loved it! She showed it to me and the pictures are beautiful and the quality of the books is lovely! She plans to use it as a coffee table book using a book stand, and it will look SO nice! Pleased with the purchase and it made my daughter happy.

My first introduction to Deana Lawson was the cover of Blood Orange's Freetown. It led to me finding more of Deana's work and being very excited for her first monograph to be published. It doesn't disappoint. The cover is a lush purple cloth. The book itself has a very clean layout with great images.Her portraits of blacks across the globe are striking and distinctive. There aren't any easy stereotypes or stories to be drawn from her portraits but a steady tension of stillness and formality. These individuals know they're being photographed and she makes their environments an added element of context. Posters on the wall, kids toys in the corners and family photos on the shelf give us a deeper look into the places these people spend their days and lives.I'm glad this was published and I grab it while you can. It's sad but rare we get to see minorities in a light like this from the perspective of another person of color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous monograph, powerful and intricate portraits
An luxurious mauve satin-covered book with exhibition quality reproductions in a straightforward design, Deana Lawson’s highly-awaited monograph does not disappoint. Lawson crafts unsettling portraits at the same time formal, meticulous, grand, sensuous, and intimate. They are so unusual because of the subjects (black people around the world, often nude), the detailed environments (cluttered domestic interiors or Edenic outdoor settings), and the concepts of representation, performance, race, and history implied in the work.

I love her eye
1.0 out of 5 stars Awful print quality
The work itself is phenomenal but the print quality in this book is abysmal. Get the Mack one instead. Aperture should be ashamed of themselves.
