BIG SHOUTOUT of thanks to Inside Edge Magazine for including ART & SOUL among the books authored by my fellow Sony Artisans Andy Katz, Me Ra Koh and Nigel Barker. SWEET!

Here’s Inside Edge had to say:

“256 pages of exceptionally beautiful portraits, Art & Soul was developed by Brian Smith and The Creative Coalition with Sony support to raise funds for arts education. Each of the 123 celebrity portraits including prominent actors, producers, directors, dancers and singers – is coupled with personal stories conveying the critical role of the arts in their life. The portraits are captured against a simple black backdrop so the essence of the subject dominates the photograph. Suggest Art & Soul to portrait photographers and students looking to capture captivating images with simple lighting and a sharp eye.”
