Film Stills: Emotions Made in Hollywood (English and German Edition)

From the beginnings up until about 1960, more than 300 still photographers were employed in the studios of Hollywood. George Hurrell Clarence Sinclair Bull and Eugene Robert Richie are some of the famous among them. The majority of still photographers, however, has remained largely unknown because they were assigned the lowest rung in the hierarchic scale of the picture-producing studios. For a long while, film stills were considered byproducts or even waste products that could be disregarded in the process of producing films. Hardly anyone outside of the publicity sector dealt with them. 220 pages; black-and-white photos. No additional printings indicated. Languages: German / Deutsche and English. Exhibition catalogue of Hollywood studio photography from the silent film period through ca. 1960.
