Govert - 60 years photography

Govert de Roos: A Retrospective - Sixty Years of Photography
The long-awaited retrospective of renowned photographer Govert de Roos is an impressive overview of nearly sixty years of photography, bringing together the highlights of his diverse and distinguished career. Spanning 444 pages, the book features a unique selection of intimate portraits of musicians, actors, actresses, writers and many other remarkable personalities who have stood before De Roos’s lens over the decades.

A Book as a Work of Art
This retrospective is much more than a photography book. It is a carefully crafted art object, conceived and designed by photographer and art director André Dieterman. Working closely with Govert de Roos, Dieterman played an integral role in shaping the content and visual narrative of the book. He was closely involved in the selection of the photographs, carefully edited and retouched the images, and was responsible for the complete art direction, design and layout of the 444-page publication.
The linen-bound hardcover features a Polaroid on the front cover, showcasing a striking self-portrait of the photographer. Printed on high-quality paper, every aspect of the book reflects the quality, attention to detail and craftsmanship befitting this remarkable body of work.

The result is a timeless publication that brings together six decades of photography in a distinctive visual presentation. More than just a must-have for photography enthusiasts, it is a work of art in its own right and a valuable addition to any bookshelf or art collection.
