Photographer Beowulf Sheehan has gathered his best photos of, as the title says, authors he's been lensing for more than 10 years. As someone who himself was once photographed by Mr. Sheehan, I can attest to his warmth, his friendliness, his way of putting the most nervous subject (like me) at ease. In the photos collected in this book, we can see the humanity of his subjects--the way they feel about themselves, their work, and the world shines through their eyes and the set of their mouth. For the moment of a shutter click, a curtain pulls aside--a slackening of the skin, an unknotting of the brow, a fresh blink of moisture across the eyes--and we see inside.
