This stunning publication is the definitive collection of
Mark Shaw's renowned photographs of the Kennedys. More
than fifty percent of the images have never been seen before
and are the finest reproductions of Shaw's work yet seen in
print. For the first time ever, complete access was granted
to The Mark Shaw Photographic Archive in order to produce
this fresh and expanded take on Shaw's classic 1964 work,
The John F. Kennedys: A Family Album. Not only is
this beautiful tome a tribute to the Kennedy Family, but it
pays homage to the extraordinary talent of Mark Shaw himself. Shaw first photographed the Kennedys in 1959 for Life
magazine. He subsequently developed a close friendship with
the family that gave him extraordinary and informal access
to their inner circle. He became the Kennedys' unofficial
family photographer and his captivating shots capture some
of their most intimate and candid moments. Photographs
include Kennedy's favourite ever shot of himself, walking
alone on the dunes at Hyannis Port, plus images on the
campaign trail, relaxing at home with friends, entertaining
at the White House, and the sombre days immediately
following JFK's assassination. Mark Shaw (1922-1969) was an American photographer renowned
for his photographs of the Kennedys and for his fashion
work. He worked for several magazines such as Harper's
Bazaar, Mademoiselle and Life. During his
sixteen years at Life, he shot twenty-seven covers
and over one hundred stories. He photographed the rich and
the famous, including Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Audrey
Hepburn, Pablo Picasso, Brigitte Bardot and Pope Paul VI. He
was also the first photographer to shoot backstage and in
colour at the European couture fashion shows. He won
numerous awards for his still photography and commercial
work, most notably with his Vanity Fair lingerie
campaign.
