Text in Englisch und Italienisch. Ein verbluffender Fotoband von Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa, dem Besitzer der weltberuhmten Pier 59 Studios, die oft als Hollywood der Fotografie bezeichnet werden Vor dem romantischen und erhabenen Hintergrund der J.-Paul-Getty-Villa auerhalb Roms huldigen sinnlich-dramatische Aufnahmen der weiblichen Form. Ein einmaliges Meisterwerk der Mode- und Erotikfotografie, das die klassischen und modernen Elemente des Mediums in bewahrter Hasselblad-Digitaltechnik und modernster digitaler Videotechnologie prasentiert. Der Autor spendet dem IRC (International Rescue Committee) alle seine Einnahmen an dem Buch. Es ist jedes Mal wieder ein himmlisches Vergnugen, die geschmeidige Form des weiblichen Korpers zu entdecken, zu verehren und zu verwohnen. Der einzigartige Fotoband The Great Beauty feiert dieses aufregende Erlebnis in beeindruckenden Bildern. Er gibt die endlose Faszination, die von den Frauen ausgeht, und ihre verfuhrerischen Reize wieder. Mit elf ausgewahlten Models brach das Produktionsteam zur spektakularen John-Paul-Getty-Villa im italienischen Ladispoli auf. Seit 1640 uberragt das ikonische Bauwerk die Mittelmeerkuste vor den Toren Roms. Hier erwachte das Kreativprojekt nach sechs langen Tagen und Nachten im November 2014 zum Leben unter kalten und widrigen Bedingungen, aber in glanzvoller und idyllischer Abgeschiedenheit. Die Aufnahmen dieses Buches sind eine Mischung aus klassischen und modernen Elementen der Fotografie. Ihr Schopfer, der Fotograf Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa, meisterte nicht nur den traditionellen Umgang mit der klassischen Hasselblad-Digitalkamera, sondern bezwang mit The Dragon auch die modernste digitale Videotechnologie des 21. Jahrhunderts, deren Auflosung derzeit unerreicht ist. Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa ist Grunder, Eigentumer und Prasident des weltweit groten und angesehensten Studiokomplexes fur Fotografie in New York, Pier 59 Studios. Der geburtige Romer arbeitet nicht nur selbst als Fotograf, sondern sammelt auch mit Begeisterung fotografische Kunst. Daruber hinaus ist Pignatelli Grunder und Prasident der Art and Fashion Group (AFG), einer Dienstleistungsholding fur die Werbe- und Modeindustrie, zu der unter anderem eine Modelagentur und eine Produktionsfirma gehoren.
