About Face
... a BEAUTIFUL and thought-provoking volume. --Los Angeles Magazine...Over the course of the book a conversation between the words and images emerges; the result is a book about aesthetics that is surprisingly THOUGHT-PROVOKING. Some standout quotes include: A man finds room in the few square inches of his face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants; and A MAN IS A GOD IN RUINS by Emerson. ----Metro SourceThe first release from boutique publisher Pixie Press Worldwide, About Face, is 160 pages of handsome. Top celebrity photographer John Russo (GQ, Elle, Esquire) spent four years on his latest project, capturing the manly visages of Hollywood models and actors. Utilizing obscure Type 55 Polaroid film, Russo's subjects were shot sans make up in natural light, enabling the capture these stark, surprisingly ARRESTING, stripped-down images...  ...As if page after page of gorgeous men isn't enough to bring a smile to readers' faces, a portion of profits from About Face will be donated to Smile Train, an organization providing free surgeries to children with lip and cleft palate deformities. --944 Magazine
