Click! Portraits of New Zealanders Reg Graham ISBN: 9781877361555 Release: 10-2006 Subject: NZ Art and Photography, biography Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$49.99

REG GRAHAM is well-known for his photographs of people involved in the arts: those who have, in their own way, influenced the cultural life of New Zealand. In Click! Graham captures the essence of over ninety of the most intriguing and compelling artistic personalities of the last decade.

Reg Graham’s splendid black and white portraits give us a fascinating and intimate glimpse into the characters of his subjects: artists, writers, poets and actors. His gallery includes a Rembrandt-like photograph of artist Ralph Hotere, a striking image of sculptor Bing Dawe, a private moment with writer Janet Frame, a powerful portrait of actor Rima Te Wiata …

Graham prefers to photograph people in a context that is familiar and important to them, in natural light and with as little photographic gear between his subject and the camera as possible. Each portrait is accompanied by a short comment from the photographer.

A handsome and enduring collection celebrating those whose gifts enrich our lives.

Reviewers Comments... ‘Lovely coffee table book acceptable to anyone who appreciates fine work.’ - The Marlborough Express, 2006 ‘Whether you know some of these people or not, the book is worth sitting down with repeatedly, just to soak in the sheer quality of the photography, which gives the images a life which extends beyond that of their subjects.’ - Wairarapa Times-Age, 2006
