Personal Exposures

Personal Exposures

<p><strong>Elliott Erwitt’s eye for humor catches at the same time the subtle hint of tragedy.</strong></p> Seeing what few others see, and capturing it for all of us, is the essence of <em>Personal Exposures</em>. For this volume Elliott painstakingly culled the work of a lifetime, rediscovering prints he had not seen in years and creating a unified whole that reflects a consistent, mature vision of photography and humanity. Here are men, women, and children in off-guard moments; old people; little girls hamming it up; and even various dogs, who have their own preoccupations. The pictures reflect a lifetime of humorous, ironic observation and sensitivity to the human condition. 248 duotone photographs
