Check out these emotive photographs from Howard Schatz. Above:
Chloë Sevigny
Left: You’re a hyperkinetic eight-year-old drama queen at her birthday party, hearing that the clown has just arrived. Center: You’re a mom at your seven-year-old daughter’s ballet recital, watching her execute an adorably imperfect pirouette and an almost flawless curtsy. Right: You’re a high-school senior whose parents are at work, just about to have sex with your boyfriend for the first time, when your kid sister bursts into the room.
Awesome.
Apparently these are all from Schatz’s new book, In Character: Actors Acting. Looks super good. There’s so much photography out there — especially now that we have Photoshop — that’s merely sizzle. These photos are the real deal; they’re all steak.
