Room at the Top
Room at the Top is the second book by renowned fashlon photographer Tony McGee. His first book Boxing Ballermas, published in 2002, was an international success. It concentrated on the ballet dancer and the boxer! showing the similarity between the two.
This book concentrates on the desire to succeed in the competitive world of ballet and dance. All of the photographs were taken in a tiny atelier on the seventh floor of the famous Central School of Ballet in Clerkenwell, London. This room at the top becomes indeed a place to climb to, up 34 7 steps. To have the chance to study your chosen craft in this simple but beautiful room is a God-given opportunity Ballet and movement are a constant theme in McGee's work. He has always been intrigued as to how the moving figure is replicated by the camera. The photographs unfailingly open a window to the soul of his subjects. Like the best of all art, McGee's photographs evoke the combination of struggle and beauty An incisive and humorous forward by the world-renowned interior designer Nicky Haslam offers a wily and sharp overview.
