An Eye for Beauty: A Photographer's Odyssey

From 1973 to 1998, John Derek photographed only one subject: his wife and muse, Bo. Other renowned cameramen have photographed Bo Derek, but none have captured her beauty as did the man who studied her from adolescence to maturity. Here, celebrated author-photographer and Derek family friend Robert Vavra combines words and images to create a singular book. Through conversations with Linda Evans, Ursula Andress, Elmer Bernstein, Gerry Spence, Shania Twain, and other friends of the Dereks, he reveals the fascinating story of one man’s obsession with beauty and his photographic odyssey to capture it.
