Sharp

Sharp by Parry, Nigel. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781576870884.

The result is Sharp, a collection the likes of which have never been seen before. Parrys exacting precision, most spectacularly distilled in his disquieting close-ups of the most powerful people in the public eye, places the viewer face-to-face with pop culture movers and shakers on a level unprecedented in contemporary celebrity portraiture: Giorgio Armanis steely-eyed determination; Sir Anthony Hopkins spine-chilling intensity; Meryl Streeps delicate grace; Placido Domingos actor-like transparency under opera makeup; Asia Argentos sexy demureness; Nicolas Cages "will kill you" attitude; Michael Caines serene distance; Tommy Lee Jones plaintiveness; and Christopher Walkens evilness, and many, many others. All are framed tightly within Parrys brilliant lenswork, allowing one repeated viewings that never tire or bore.
