Through Her Lens cover

Stories and photography intermingle on the pages of this gorgeous homage to '70s and '80s cinema and celebrity. Including rare and never-before-seen images, Through Her Lens is a wonderful collection of images and memoires that capture the spirit of the age. From unexpected late-night calls from Romy Schneider, to a stay at Paul Newman's home in Connecticut; from working on set with Bernardo Bertolucci, Werner Herzog, Steven Spielberg and Sydney Pollack, to lounging poolside with Raquel Welch; Sereny reveals her favourite moments from working behind the lens. This is the first photographic retrospective of Sereny's star-studded career, including nearly 100 never-before-seen images complemented by Eva's own stories.

A new book, Through Her Lens (ACC Art Books), showcases her gift for humanizing glamour, and for capturing moments cinematic in their naturalism. Her portraits of women, including Jacqueline Bisset and Charlotte Rampling, have a fierce, intelligent sensuality, unusual at a time of mindless objectivity.--Newsweek
