Mark Seliger’s extraordinary portfolio spans 30 years, beginning in 1987 with small assignments for *Rolling Stone*. By 1992, he became the magazine's chief photographer, a role he held for 15 years, during which he captured over 125 covers. His work features iconic images of influential figures such as Kurt Cobain, Nelson Mandela, Leonardo DiCaprio, Barack Obama, and many others. This collection showcases his renowned portraiture alongside never-before-seen outtakes and highlights from his landscape and personal projects, including portraits of Holocaust survivors and transgender individuals on Christopher Street, as well as documentary photography of Cuba. An interview between Seliger and Judd Apatow accompanies the photographs, revealing stories behind his most notable work, such as Kurt Cobain arriving for a shoot in a “Corporate Magazines Still Suck” T-shirt, a road trip with Brad Pitt, and photographing His Holiness the Dalai Lama among Tibetan monks. Additionally, the book features an essay by Lyle Lovett. This collection is a definitive celebration of one of the most sought-after portrait photographers in the industry.
