Humans: Photographs by Henry Horenstein

In this exquisitely produced book, Henry Horenstein explores the landscape of the human body in his unique photographic style. Large prints, grainy and soft in focus, witness the noted photographer’s observant eye: Close-up details of body parts, like a beautifully shaped upper lip, an elbow, wrinkles, and hair gain a new lyrical, intimate quality. However, Horenstein’s sensuous images never give way to aesthetic perfection, instead they are surprising, sometimes weird, and even odd.
