Author Description

This beautifully designed book is based on the simple premise of its title: a smile is worth a thousand words. The authors have taken the phrase literally by challenging some of the world’s great photographers to capture the essence of this sentiment, with the best of these images compiled here into a visual essay on the subject. The book features smiles indicating a variety of moods, from sweet and innocent to suggestive and seductive. They’re worn by men and women, brides and grooms, children and babies, old and young, comprising a celebration of one of life’s loveliest, most luminous moments.
