Summary: I Loved This Book
Review: As an up and coming photographer, I have piles of books, but this one is on top. Nigel Parry has always been one of my favorites, but I had no idea of the scope of his work. I have a lot to learn but now I have a new teacher.

Review: I always flip through photography books but until now, I have never bought one. It's a great book to have on the coffee table because it provokes conversations. Never seen celebs shot like this before.

Summary: It is BARGAIN PRICE for a reason
Review: Shallow photographic wanking without flavor or soul. I think that a good test for any celebrity photography, is to put forward the question - "would the image work if the subject were not famous'. Hmm.
So take the test with this book, and perhaps any of Mark Seligers drivel , with this new hypothesis. If the image is visually interesting, despite the fact that the subject is famous, then drinks all round. If, however, the image looks more like a polished stock portrait image, then.....you know who I'm talking about Parry, you thoughtless bounder.

Summary: These outstanding portrait photos are enhanced
Review: Sharp is an impressive, 144-page, coffee table book showcasing Nigel Parry's black and white celebrity portraits. Parry uses his camera framing and lighting to present private images of movie stars, film directors, musicians, politicians, and entertainment celebrities in a totally new perspective that is both memorable and thought provoking. Highly recommended as a significant and welcome addition to any personal, photography school, professional, or community library collection, these outstanding portrait photos are enhanced for the photography study and connoisseur by an informative essay on Nigel Perry's life and work by Liam Neeson.

Summary: Impressive roll call but visually monotonous
Review: Sharp is described by the publisher as "a collection the likes of which have never been seen before", a book with such "brilliant lenswork" that it allows one "repeated viewings that never tire or bore." If you are a photo editor that wants to run images of celebrities that depict every pore, with contrast on the image so intense that the subjects look like coal miners on their way home after a day in the pits, then this is your man and he's in the phone book under Creative Photographers, Inc. In short, while Sharp represents an impressive roll call of celebrity faces, Parry's style is quickly revealed to be visually monotonous in the form of a collection.
