=Each subject, each stranger, becomes a seduction... As a photographer you are asked to interpret an artist you have only met through his or her work. They must feel comfortable enough to be totally vulnerable. Ultimately, taking a picture is an intimate collaborationa true seduction.Abe Frajndlich, from the Introduction by Phoebe Hoban Most of us take no more than a few seconds to look at a photograph. The composition, the lighting, the subject, each make their impression and then we move on. But the experience of looking at a photograph by Abe Frajndlich is one of lingering, of taking second and third glances to discover some new detail, or pick up on a reference that was missed the first time around. Playful, whimsical, multi-layered and surprising, the photographs in Abe Frajndlich Portraits demand to be savored and appreciated. Not only because of their technical and stylistic excellence, but also because of the stories they tell about their subjects some of the worlds most celebrated figures from the world of art, literature, music and film.
