This review is from: Suburban Pleasures (German Edition) (Hardcover)
Mark Henderson is an acknowledged art history authority, which may be a major contributing factor to the inordinately artistic bent of his images. His first book, HOUSEHOLD IDOLS, resulted from his photographic work in his home in Los Angeles. For his second monograph, SUBURBAN PLEASURES, Henderson set up his camera and magic eye in his secondary home in Texas. The difference in atmosphere is palpable. Gone are the opulent settings of decorative furnishings that served as backdrops for his male models: instead here are open sun-filled rooms, spare in furnishings as though the men of note are the primary focus.
