When I was introduced to Martin Schoeller’s “Portraits” I was absolutely blown away. The depth of his images are immense. From the emotion he captures down to the perfect lighting and moments captured.
It’s one thing to to everything I listed above but to do it time and time again with the biggest names in the world from celebrities to politicians to musicians and athletes is astonishing.
This is a large hardback book that is selling for just over $80 but I can tell you that it is one of the favorites that sits on my shelf. If you love portraits or you simply love photography this book is a must have.

Description from amazon: Building on the success of his previous titles, Close Up and Identical, Martin Schoeller’s momentous Portraits is cause for celebration.
The illustrious photographer’s full range of expression is on display in this unprecedented gathering of editorial images. With an impressive amount of variety and scale,
Schoeller shares his signature compositional imagination alongside the wry wit that animates his work. Whether portraits of political leaders, Hollywood stars, business entrepreneurs, or contemporary music royalty, these images are as daring as they are exacting, playful and precise.
Regardless of the subject and setting, Schoeller’s photographs seemingly come to life. While Portraits will surely thrill devoted fans, it will also attract new admirers with images they’ve noted in top magazines. Every frame in this expansive volume is touched with Schoeller’s distinctive flare for creative meticulously realized worlds–and confirm that he’s a talent that consistently resets the limits of photographic portraiture.

at 2:05 that white line is a dick.
Amazing portraits! But, boy, is Don Rickles gonna get you for that one, Jared! 🙂
Who's the one in white at 1:30 ?
Ordered my Fro Black Rapid Strap today, hopefully it ships soon!
Im going to suggest you on my states photography Facebook page. Nebraska through the lens. Love your videos, only watched a few so far but very fun and informative. Let's get you more subscribers!
Well, even though I do like his pictures, I don't think he's actually THAT great. Granted, different people have different tastes. But as someone else already has pointed out: his pictures rely heavily on the fact that (most of) his models are famous. By that basically half of the story (if not even more) is already told because their character/image is already known. So he's just playing with their images and that's his whole idea.
I rather stick with Richard Avedon, Bettina Rheims, Peter Lindbergh and in my opinion number one: Helmut Newton. And I'm not talking about his better known and published work, but about the more private moments. The pictures he took of his wife and vice versa are just phenomenal – full of closeness, intimacy, trust and emotion. His commercial work never came even close in my opinion.
Hi jared, Do you have a book about Product photography?
Jared haven't looked at your videos for a while. The book is great but your intro blew me away. Well thought out and polished to perfection. One of the best I have seen on You Tube. What software did you use? Your logo zooming in to match the music was sweet. Well done.
Not my taste. Bob Gruen, Mapplethorpe & Annie Liebovitz are more to my liking.
There's something screwed up with US values when you have to blur or hide a woman's breasts (men's are okay) but you can show graphic videos of people being shot or beheaded. The message, is violence is good but the human body isn't.
nice intro montage
thanks, adding it to my amazon wish list
The pictures look bland. Standard, run of the mill commercial portraiture. Not really original or imaginative. The sort of stuff that adorns throw-away mainstream boring magazine editorials. Technically proficient but not very interesting.
Andy Rooney lol…. Almost as funny how you say ISO.
Andy Rooney?….Really?!
Ok that's it I am selling my gear. His work is great.
Does Martin describe what equipment he uses?
If its just celebs forget it. lots of fascinating people on this planet other than celebs. Boring
Did that guy try to photograph every radical leftist in hollywood?
I Shoot Raw
i want this book
have to sell my gear if i want to buy that
Could you probably make a list of all the books on your shelf? Would be nice. Love your work btw.
Chris Rock and Don Rickles!
