{"product_id":"fellini-8-12-9783823805403","title":"Fellini 8 1\/2","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the worlds first celebrity photographers -- and the very person for whom the term \"paparazzo\" was coined -- Tazio Secchiaroli was both companion and confidante to Italys most renowned cinematic stars  including Marcello Mastroianni  Sophia Loren  and Frederico Fellini -- who would later immortalize the photographer in La Dolce Vita. Secchiarolis portraits of these and other personalities combine the immediacy of photojournalism with the glamour and sensuality that personified Italy in the 1950s and 60s -- the heyday of its cinematic glory. But it was as Fellinis set photographer that Secchiarolis passion for glamour  action  and the cinema thrived. This volume of sixty black-and-white photographs taken on and off the set at the legendary studio Cinecitta  where Secchiaroli was given free rein during the filming of 8 1\/2  offers not only a generous sampling of Secchiarolis best work  but an intimate look at Fellinis own unique persona and creative process. Secure and relaxed  even in front of Secchiaralis lens  Fellini felt free to indulge in the kind of juvenile clowning for which he was famous. As a result  Secchiaroli was able to capture the vibrant  otherworldly atmosphere on Fellinis set which  like his films  was colorful  chaotic  and magical. A must for fans of Fellini  films  and fine celebrity photography  this exciting volume offers a one-of-a-kind perspective on the making of a masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45273726222389,"sku":"ByrdShop_3823805401","price":98.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783823805403.jpg?v=1780491061","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/fellini-8-12-9783823805403","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
