The Big Shot

"""That photographer is Greg Brennan, and his new book The Big Shot, published by ACC Art Books, is one of the most quietly extraordinary documents of celebrity culture I have encountered in nearly three decades in this world. These are not the outcomes of ambush. They are the outcomes of a man who understood that the long game always beats the quick grab."" ""Brennan's new book, The Big Shot, published by ACC Art Books and narrated by his son Dylan, is one of those rare photography collections that operates as something closer to cultural portraiture than press documentation. The Queen of England requested a signed exhibition print for the Royal Photographic Collection."" ""Michael Jackson waved him into Harrods in the middle of the night. Lady Gaga tweeted one of his images to ten million followers with the caption ""I love you. Thank you."" These are not the outcomes of a man lurking in doorways. These are the outcomes of an artist who happens to work outside."" ""...Brennan's book arrives as a reminder that the most durable images of fame are always the ones made with the subject's full humanity intact.""" - Celebrity Intelligence
