FRAMED is a stunning collection of over i5o black-and-white photographs by Greg Gorman for L.A. Eyeworks. This project spans thirty years of the world-renowned celebrity and photographer Greg Gorman and gathers some of the great personalities of all time such as the director Pedro Almodovar, musical legends Grace Jones, Divine and Frank Zappa as well as Andy Warhol and Pierce Brosnan, among many other artists. Each shot gives a picture of human nature in its infinite range. Each picture is also a testament to the individual character. In his pictures, Gorman really tries to focus on the importance in capturing the essence of the soul of each portrait, as Pierce Brosnan writes in his notes in the book, Through his lens, Greg captures the beauty of the human face like no other. A photographic portrait artist who puts his heart and soul into his art, Greg lives his life with passion and grace.

In Their Youth: Early Portraits comprises over 200 of the California-based photographer's previously unpublished portraits from the last three decades, featuring famous actors shot when they were still unknown young men, from teen years into their early twenties. I decided to do a project that expressed my infatuation with male beauty, Gorman explains, especially in terms of youth... the portraits don't have lots of backgrounds, they're straightforward. It's really about the person, not the elements. It boils down to the graphics of the individual more than the graphics of the setting. Gorman's intimate celebrity portraits hinge on the sense of his subjects' vulnerability. Here, famous young men are juxtaposed with photographs of promising unknowns: one of the first shots of Tom Cruise, for instance, shares a spread with some anonymous ephebe that Andy Warhol met at Studio 54. Greg Gorman discovered his calling after taking a borrowed camera to a Jimi Hendrix concert in 1968. In 1990, after producing images for over 20 years, he published his first book, Greg Gorman Volume One, which reveals his skills as a portraitist. Gorman has created innumerable unforgettable images (for instance, a 2000 portrait of Jeff Koons shows the artist perched on a filthy toilet, flanked by two leather-clad ladies). His work has been featured in ad campaigns and has been featured on the covers of a number of magazines, including Esquire, GQ, Interview, Vogue, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair.
