And for the rest of the world I also highly reccommend it.The Photographs by Roy Round are MAGNIFICENT! The grain. (clarity). is something seldom seen in the world of ballet photography where it is so diffucult to photograph the suject in a moving or semi-moving position or even in a "posed" photograph.With all of his subjects. and he chooses several contemperary dancers including Nikolaj Hubbe. Julie Kent. Angel Corella. Wendy Whelan and my favorite in this book. Ethan Stiefel. the color saturation. (the natural look of color). is BEAUTIFUL!My best advice to you. dear Reader. is run dont walk to to buy this GREAT book! The cover alone is worth the price of admission. And what follows between the boards will simply amaze you.Gary R. Brown12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully put togetherBy CHARLES LEGRANDThe photographs are dazzling. with enough stylistic variance to remain interesting start to finish. The book offers a unique portrait of each dancer. instead of feeling like the same canned interview over and over. Coffee tablery at its finest. It can be either something simply pretty to look at or something interesting to read. or both.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.
