Reviews
Brigitte Lacombe's book of photographs, taken throughout her life, of those people most of us will never know in our lives. . .is the most exquisite compilation of photographs ever transposed in one single books. There is no one who shoots a subject as Brigitte Lacombe does, and no one a subject trusts more. Is it book of celebrity photographs? Yes. But the celebrity is -- without question -- Brigitte Lacombe.
