来自美国杰出摄影师露丝·奥尔金（Ruth Orkin）的经典肖像画、纽约场景等更多内容

美国摄影师露丝·奥尔金将自己对旅行的热爱，和在好莱坞的成长经历结合起来，捕捉日常生活中的电影元素，揭示上流社会的人性，因此作品获得广泛赞誉。

奥尔金在佛罗伦萨、纽约和伦敦等城市拍摄的照片大气磅礴，至今仍塑造着这些大都市的形象：她拍摄的街景始终深刻洞察了人类主体的个性以及环境。这种独特的品质也体现在她为阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦、马龙·白兰度、田纳西·威廉姆斯和劳伦·巴考尔等名人拍摄的肖像中：尽管这些照片明显是摆拍的，但却提供了某种程度的坦诚，使观众能够在人性层面上与拍摄对象建立联系。奥尔金还从事电影制作，拍摄了两部成功的电影《小逃犯》（1953年）和《情人与棒棒糖》（1955年）——她是该领域为数不多的女性从业者。

本书在露丝·奥尔金100岁生日之际出版，通过对这位杰出艺术家的作品全面而迷人的概述，记录了奥尔金的人生和职业生涯。

Classic portraits, New York scenes and more from the brilliant and indefatigable American photographer

American photographer Ruth Orkin earned acclaim for her work as she combined her love for travel and her experience growing up in Hollywood into a practice that captured the cinematic elements of everyday life and revealed the humanity of the upper crust.

The atmospheric photographs taken by Orkin in cities such as Florence, New York and London still shape the image of these metropolises today: her street scenes consistently offer penetrating insights into the personality of her human subjects as well as their environments. This unique quality also manifests in her celebrity portraits of figures such as Albert Einstein, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams and Lauren Bacall: though clearly posed, these photographs offer a certain level of candor that allows the viewer to connect with the sitters on a human level. She also pursued filmmaking with two successful features, Little Fugitive (1953) and Lovers and Lollipops (1955)―and she did all of this as one of the few female practitioners in the field.

Published on the occasion of what would have been the photographer’s 100th birthday, this illustrated volume celebrates Orkin’s life and career with an equally extensive and fascinating overview of this exceptional artist's oeuvre.
