Don't miss our Hollywood photographs.

Karl Struss (1886-1981) was a master of both still and motion picture photography. A native of New York City, he first studied photography with Clarence White and soon mastered the tenets of Pictorialism. Alfred Stieglitz featured his work in a 1910 exhibition and a 1912 issue of Camera Work. Struss was also a pioneering commercial photographer, one of the first to produce photographs for magazine illustration.
After enlisting in the army during World War I, he decided not to return to New York but instead headed west, to Hollywood, where he began a new career in film, making movie stills and publicity portraits and then doing motion picture photography. His pictorial talents earned him the first Academy Award for cinematography for Sunrise (1927).
New York to Hollywood surveys this consummate artist's long career with the camera. John and Susan Edwards Harvith, who rediscovered Struss's pictorialist work in the 1970s and interviewed him at length in his later years, round out the portrait of both the man and the artist. -
The title says it all. A great book of shots comparing the old Hollywood with the new. Glamor shots galore in this book. If you want to see the real Hollywood, be sure to visit Hollywood Downside Up, my photo series of Hollywood the way it really looks to those of us who live and work here.

Photographer Lauren Greenfield capures often shocking, always startling images of children at school, at play, or at home in the precocious city of Los Angeles. The stunning color photographs range from the children of the gang culture of South Central and East L.A. to the affluent, often show-business world of the Westside. Underlying is the overwhelming importance of image and celebrity, with its materialistic trappings of fast cars and expensive clothes. 80 full-color photos.
