A Smile is Worth a Thousand Words: A Photographic Tour of Happiness

A smile is often all it takes to change a person’s day, or even their life. This beautifully designed book is based on the simple premise of its title: a smile is worth a thousand words. The authors have taken the phrase literally by challenging some of the world’s great photographers to capture the essence of this sentiment, and creating a visual essay on the subject. The book features smiles indicating a variety of moods, from sweet and innocent to suggestive and seductive. They’re worn by men and women, brides and grooms, children and babies, old and young, comprising a celebration of one of life’s loveliest, most luminous moments. All it takes is one simple smile.
