** SIGNED AND INSCRIPTION BY BRUNO BISANG!! Mottled surfaces and frayed corners anchor us firmly in the rough and tumble of the creative process. Designed to be disposable, every annotation and mis-step is a part of cultural and artistic history. We sense a depth so lacking in today's digital manipulation. Page by page, readers witness the unfolding of Bisang's vision. Swiss photographer Bruno Bisang has been on a life-long artistic quest to document the unending, multi-faceted varieties of the feminine mystique. His photographs are more than mere idealisations of the female form. They are expressions of Bisang's desire to record the independent spirit of his subjects - international models and celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks and Monica Belluci. This collection of exquisitely observed photographs is a luminous distillation of essence and form, "a record of woman's radiance" that expresses Bisang's belief that "every woman possesses a fount of femininity and unique sensuality". Bruno Bisang is a much sought-after Swiss fashion photographer who lives and works in Zurich, Milan, Paris and New York. He photographs advertising campaigns for many of the major fashion houses and his work appears regularly in magazines such as Vogue, Max and GQ. His book Photographs was published by teNeues in 2000
