Photographer Mark Liddell focuses on what is "behind the eyes," exposing the emotion behind each of his subjects. His style brings together what he sees as four essential elements: strength, sensuality, seduction, and soul. This large-format book, with images up to 22 x 14 inches, goes behind the lens of more than 100 photo shoots with various celebrity musicians, models, media darlings, and A-list Hollywood actors, from Annie Lennox to Avril Lavigne, Halle Berry to Janet Jackson, Meg Ryan to Melissa Etheridge, and Matthew McConaughey to Heath Ledger. Liddell offers his commentary for many of them: "I've seen the best sides and the worst sides of the biggest stars around. I've seen them vulnerable, and I've seen them proud. I've watched them shed real tears, and I've sat through their temper tantrums. I've had to become a therapist and a best friend for a day. Celebrities were trusting me, and I learned very quickly that this trust is the most important component to a successful shoot."
