A photographic and narrative investigation of female identity, a la Joyce, Tenneson, Cindy Sherman, and Annie Leibovitz. Includes homages to both fictional and historical women. Includes technical notes of the photographer's equipment and process From the author/photographer of an acclaimed photographic essay of September 11, 2001. One Woman is an inspired collaboration between photographer and muse. Through John Botte's masterful eye, Elicia Ho, a former ballerina, has realised a lyrical, visual diary of her becoming. The result is a stunning, dual meditation on a photographer's relationship to subject and craft, and a woman's intimate, empowering exploration of her sense of self and multifaceted identity. Revealing multiple aspects of character and personality, these photographic depictions are odes to real, fictional, or historical individuals and archetypes who have inspired, formed, or shaped the life of one woman. An invitation to celebrate the many layers of one's own being, Botte's captivating photographs are accompanied by Ho's insightful capsule texts about each persona portrayed in this homage to the many and varied people who, together, form the myriad facets of one woman. Also included are technical notes by Botte detailing his exclusive choice of Leica's M Monochrom camera for this body of work, as well as his use of vintage optics for the differing moods and eras evoked in these images.
