Burning Heart : A Portrait of the Philippinesby Marissa Roth (Photographer), Jessica Hagedorn, Hagedorn Roth Rizzoli International Publications Paperback - 152 pages May 1999 Price $50.00
I recently got to see the photographs that make up this book at the Sepia Gallery in NYC. These photos are superb and very powerful. Roth has a fantastic eye--her photographs are beautifully composed, showing great attention to the nuances and details of her subjects. She has obviously spent a lot of time immersed in Filipino life and culture--and has the skills to capture it to film. As a photographer, I found her work very inspiring. Beyond the formal qualities, her photos present very moving glimpses of Filipino life. They are very powerful and showcase a wide range of scenes. I highly recommend this collection of photos (especially if you cannot see the exhibit in person). Click here to order now. |
