Worthwhile Profile of Hollywood's Leading Irishmen
_Hollywood Irish_ is a fantastic collection of interviews and photographs of six handsome and talented actors: Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, Stephen Rea, Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn and Patrick Bergin. The simple introduction provided by Áine O'Connor sets the mood for the rest of the book well. As she mentions, the interviews do reveal insightful, private information: "Liam Neeson reveals how he considered leaving acting and how he found the confidence to continue; Pierce Brosnan, simply and openly, shares the painful story of his wife Cassie's death; Stephen Rea discusses the relationship between acting and politics; Aidan Quinn talks about the Irish identity and its many paradoxes; Patrick Bergin reveals the temptations of an actor's life and the difficulties of doing love scenes; Gabriel Byrne tells us about the risks and illusions that surround fame." In a nutshell, that's the book. Each actor discusses his beginnings, both in life and as an actor. Each discusses, in some capacity, how being Irish has impacted him. Each actor's profile comes with several b/w photos from childhood, movies and family collections. At the end, one can find each actor's filmography. The only complaint I would have regarding the book is that the material is dated (only current to 1997) and I wish an updated version could be compiled. That criticism aside, though, this is certainly a title worth owning.

Insightful interviews.
Aine O'Conner manage to capture the cadences of the various actors very well.While reading the text, I could almost hear the men speaking their words.I suspect that she didn't edit the tapes very much, save for verbal pauses (the usual "uhs" and "you knows") and forlength.Ms. O'Conner also included several photographs (many were candid)that were sprinkled throughout the various sections.

While Ms. O'Connerasked many insightful questions, she didn't follow through on many. Indeed, at times I was a little disappointed that she failed to follow upon specific points; however, that point is trivial compared to the overalleffort of the book.

If you are a fan of any or all of the actors listed,or simply are curious to see how contemporary Irish actors are dealing withthe joys and disappointments of Hollywood, then you should enjoy this book.

Great Look at the Lives of Some of Hollywoods Finest Actors
This book provides a facinating, indepth journey into the lives of six very capable and successful actors. Many humourous and sometimes tradgic tales of life in Ireland and struggles to make a name for themselves thereand in America. Each actor tells of personal hardships that they havebattled throughout their lives and how they have created such prominentstatus in today's Hollywood scene. Each story is spoken first hand whichadds to the richness of these beautiful retold memories. This book providesa greater sense of who these men are by recalling tales from childhood,adolecence and adulthood which explain their journeys to becoming the greatactors they are. ... Read more

Product Description
The high-profile magazines call prestigious portrait photographer Nigel Parry for only the most illustrious assignments: President Bill Clinton for The New York Times Magazine; Martin Scorsese for Vanity Fair; Dennis Quaid for Entertainment Weekly; Susan Sarandon for Premier; Tommy Lee Jones for W; John Cusak for GQ; Jake Lamotta for Esquire; and Liam Neeson for The London Sunday Times; and so on. With such distinguished occasions to encounter the powers that be, Parry has used these opportunities to create his own portfolio of private images of today's top movie stars, film directors, musicians, politicians, and sundry entertainment celebrities. The result is Sharp, a collection the likes of which have never been seen before. Parry's exacting precision, most spectacularly distilled in his disquieting close-ups of the most powerful people in the public eye, places the viewer face-to-face with pop culture movers and shakers on a level unprecedented in contemporary celebrity portraiture: Giorgio Armani's steely-eyed determination; Sir Anthony Hopkin's spine-chilling intensity; Meryl Streep's delicate grace; Placido Domingo's actor-like transparency under opera makeup; Asia Argento's sexy demureness; Nicolas Cage's "will kill you" attitude; Michael Caine's serene distance; Tommy Lee Jones' plaintiveness; and Christopher Walken's evilness, and many, many others. All are framed tightly within Parry's brilliant lenswork, allowing one repeated viewings that never tire or bore. ... Read more

Sharp eye
Nigel parry has a really sharp eye for portraits, this is the second book i own from him and all i can say is: amazing black and white photography.

Film Noir look!
This book is indeed a bargain if you are a fan of dark moody B&W portraiture. Along the likes of Corbjin, some of Rolston, Matt Mahurin, Albest Watson,Parry manages to do more with less light.

As for the criticism of monotony this is suppose to be a monograph which is a collection if images that are part of a theme.

If you think his lighting is simple and boring, set it up and see if you can get the same results. Now add into the mix a limited time with a famous ego and see how you do. The fact that he gets what he does in this age of restrictive celebrity photography is amazing. The "real life" lighting doesn't always flatter the subject in a way that would drive most publicists over the edge.

It is BARGAIN PRICE for a reason
Shallow photographic wanking without flavor or soul.I think that a good test for any celebrity photography, is to put forward the question - "would the image work if the subject were not famous'.Hmm.

So take the test with this book, and perhaps any of Mark Seligers drivel , with this new hypothesis.If the image is visually interesting, despite the fact that the subject is famous, then drinks all round. If, however, the image looks more like a polished stock portrait image, then.....you know who I'm talking about Parry, you thoughtless bounder.

Impressive roll call but visually monotonous
Sharp is described by the publisher as "a collection the likes of which have never been seen before", a book with such "brilliant lenswork" that it allows one "repeated viewings that never tire or bore."

If you are a photo editor that wants to run images of celebrities that depict every pore, with contrast on the image so intense that the subjects look like coal miners on their way home after a day in the pits, then this is your man and he's in the phone book under Creative Photographers, Inc.

In short, while Sharp represents an impressive roll call of celebrity faces, Parry's style is quickly revealed to be visually monotonous in the form of a collection.

Wonderful
Nigel Parry's Book sharp is a visual delight. His portraits are beautifully composed and capture that exacting moment as a photograph should.... ... Read more
