Published on the occasion of his first large solo exhibition, this striking catalogue of work by New York-based photographer Pieter Henket brings his powerfully clear artistic language to the fore. The cinematographic qualities of his images are both evocative and vibrant, with bewitching effects of light and colour. Focusing on portrait photography in recent years, he places his (often celebrity) subjects against voids with bold lighting design, catching them in seemingly casual or accidental expressions, yet also representing the individuals essence. With his shrewd eye, Henket uses subtle humour to portray the cult of personality, getting under the skin of celebrity culture.
