STEVE SCHAPIRO - PHOTOGRAPHER
Hardcover

“An offer you can’t refuse.”

Behind the scenes of Coppola’s masterpiece

This is a must-have for all Godfather fans, as special photographer on the sets and locations of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather trilogy, Steve Schapiro, had the remarkable experience of witnessing legendary actors giving some of their most memorable performances. Schapiro immortalized Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton in photos that have since become iconic images, instantly recognizable and endlessly imitated. For the first time, Schapiro’s finest photographs are gathered together from all three Godfather films, with contextual essays and interviews covering the trilogy in over 400 color and b&w images. Schapiro’s photos take us behind the scenes of this epic and inimitable cinematic saga, revealing the director’s working process, capturing the moods and personalities involved, and providing insight into the making of movie history.

Steve Schapiro’s pictures have graced the covers of Vanity Fair, Time, Sports Illustrated, Life, and People, and are found in many museum collections. He has published four books of his work, American Edge, Schapiro’s Heroes, The Godfather Family Album and Taxi Driver, and has worked on some of the most notable films, creating posters for Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Parenthood, and The Godfather Part III.

The “Family Album” was previously restricted to 1,000 Limited Edition copies. Now available in an unlimited trade edition for cinephiles and ‘family’ members on a budget. SLV
