"Es peligroso ser un hombre honesto".
—Michael Corleone, El Padrino IIIComo fotógrafo especial en los platós y los exteriores de la trilogía El Padrino de Francis Ford Coppola, Steve Schapiro tuvo la oportunidad excepcional de presenciar el trabajo de actores legendarios en algunas de sus interpretaciones más memorables. Schapiro inmortalizó a Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall y Diane Keaton en fotos que desde entonces se han convertido en imágenes emblemáticas, reconocibles al instante e imitadas hasta la saciedad. Reunidas por primera vez en este libro están las mejores fotografías de Schapiro de las tres películas de El Padrino, cuidadosamente reproducidas a partir de los negativos originales. Con ensayos y entrevistas que cubren la trilogía en su integridad, este libro contiene más de 300 imágenes a color y en blanco y negro.
Las imágenes de Schapiro nos llevan tras las escenas de esta epica e inimitable saga cinematográfica, revelando el proceso de trabajo del director, captando las atmósferas y las personalidades involucradas y proporcionando interioridades de cómo se hacía la historia del cine.
In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband’s U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady and today as one of this country’s most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.
Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama’s trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew, Johnny Wright, and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.
Obama’s intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life—from the colorful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.

The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-plus year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image.
“The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Lucy Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture.
Produced in close collaboration with the band, this edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 500 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones’ own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is and was their official photographic record.
