This is a highly personal selection of photographs amassed by Mary
McCartney, oldest child of The Beatles singer Paul McCartney. As
the title suggests, it's split into two volumes: one for color and
one for black and white images. The book shows McCartney's love for
quiet, intimate moments off the beaten track but it also gives an
extraordinary behind-the-scenes insight into the lives of
celebrities. I didn't put photos in for it to be a celebrity or
non-celebrity, McCartney tells Time. I am interested in shooting
all different types of people. I find a lot of people
inspirational. I'm interested in people, in their stories.
THE INSTANT TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER Over thirty years ago, Linda
McCartney first blazed the trail for meat-free cooking, and around
the table of the family home in East Sussex, she shared the
pleasure that eating compassionately could bring. Now Paul, Mary
and Stella bring Linda's kitchen up to date, re-inventing her
best-loved recipes for the plant-based cook, alongside their
favourite family stories and the dishes that they now eat at home.
The original food pioneer, Linda McCartney believed in great
tasting, wholesome, meat-free food, and embraced kindness and
compassion in everything she did. Her legacy lives on in Linda
McCartney's Family Kitchen, a collection of over 90 simple, fresh
and inventive plant-based recipes that fit perfectly with how we
want to eat now. In Linda McCartney's Family Kitchen, Paul, Mary
and Stella have re-imagined Linda's classic recipes, bringing them
up to date for the modern, plant-based cook. Because how we eat is
changing, with more and more people choosing a meat- and dairy-free
diet, even if only for one or two days a week. Alongside family
favourites such as American Pancakes, Chilli Non Carne, Sausage
Rolls and Shepherd's Pie, Paul, Mary and Stella share the dishes
they cook most at home: Pad Thai, Pulled Jackfruit Burgers,
Panzanella and Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookies to name just a
few of the simple, nourishing and sustainable recipes included in
this stylish book. Complete with personal stories and intimate
family photos spanning three decades, Linda McCartney's Family
Kitchen is not only good for you, but for the planet too.
In July 2016, Mary McCartney travelled to Paris for a special photo
shoot. Over two days, McCartney would stay with her subject Phyllis
Wang at her St Germain apartment and photograph her in the nude. A
mixture of black and white and colour, the delicate photographs
collected here showcase the intimacy and trust required from both
subject and photographer. Over the course of their time together,
we see the model increasingly relax in front of the camera as she
assumes various poses, and an unspoken bond between the two
gradually develops. Moments of humour arise, through Wang's
adoption of props, including her collection of hats, and in details
that emerge from their candid accounts of the two days - notably an
initial misunderstanding about an x-rated shoot - which engagingly
annotes the photographs throughout the book. Phyllis Wang is a New
York-born stand-up comedian, living and working in Paris. She is
known for her eccentric clothing style and love of fashion. The
nude photography in the book forms a striking yet complementary
contrast to her lively on-stage persona. The book features an essay
by Charlotte Jansen, writer and editor-at-large at Elephant
Magazine. She is the author of Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in
the Age of the Female Gaze. Jansen frames McCartney's photographs
through a historical study of the nude in photography and from the
perspective of the female gaze.
