Non-Fiction Photography
As a Time magazine photographer covering the White House
through four presidential administrations, Diana Walker
enjoyed incomparable access to the world's major movers and
shakers. Going behind the scenes and photographing her
subjects over the course of years, she captured Presidents
and their families in wonderfully candid moments and world
leaders in the course of momentous events. Walker's way of
engaging people and inspiring their trust results in
portraits that are refreshingly spontaneous and open...giving
viewers the feeling that they've met each subject
personally. Many of those portrayed are notables in
politics, industry, science, entertainment, and the
arts...from Ronald Reagan to Steve Jobs; from Lillian Gish to
Princess Diana and Prince Charles; from Mikhail Gorbachev to
Hillary Clinton. Throughout the book, photographer and
subjects narrate many of the 200 portraits, reminiscing
about the experience and providing background for the moment
or event. The result is a delightfully layered story, both
visual and verbal, told from multiple points of view. Its
wide appeal will capture readers who are interested in great
photography, famous figures, and the political and cultural
life of our times.
