When Gianni Bozzacchi accepted an assignment as a photographer on
the set of The Comedians (1967), he didn't know that his life was
about to change forever. His ability to capture the beauty of
candid moments drew the attention of the film's star, Elizabeth
Taylor, and prompted her to hire him as her personal photographer.
Not only did he go on to enjoy a jet-set life as her friend and
confidant -- preserving unguarded moments between the violet-eyed
beauty and Richard Burton as they traveled the world -- but
Bozzacchi also became an internationally renowned photographer and
shot some of the biggest celebrities of the 1960s and 1970s. In My
Life in Focus, Bozzacchi traces his journey from humble beginnings
to the sphere of the rich and famous. As a child, he cultivated his
skills by working with his father -- a photographer for the Italian
government. Following in his parent's footsteps was not something
Bozzacchi had foreseen for his future; but his passion for taking
pictures and his ability to put his subjects at ease enabled him to
capture stunning images of some of the greatest stars of the
twentieth century, including Audrey Hepburn, Steve McQueen, Raquel
Welch, Mia Farrow, Clint Eastwood, and the royal family of Monaco.
Beautifully illustrated with many of the photographer's most iconic
images, this lively memoir reveals private moments in the
Taylor-Burton love story and provides an invaluable
behind-the-scenes look at the business of filmmaking and the perils
of celebrity.
