nigel parry: celebrity portraits



images via Nigel Parry

Nigel Parry is one of my all-time favorite photographers. Judging by the above three images, I'm sure you can tell why.  
Since beginning his career in 1988, Parry has photographed hundreds of celebrities and influential figures. His iconic images have been displayed in galleries and festivals across the globe. He's created three books (Sharp, Precious, and Blunt) and has photographed for several prominent magazines (including Vanity Fair). As far as I'm concerned, he's the J.K. Rowling of photography. 

P.S. For more ah-worthy images, check out Sharp on Amazon... It's on sale for $22 and features tightly cropped images of some of the most powerful people in the public eye. Perfect for a coffee table...
