Rare Birds

The first monograph by Amanda de Cadenetn is a ten-year retorspective documenting the provocative cast of characters she has encountered through the course of her life and travels. These intimate imgaes, published here for the first time, present the viewer with a disarming array of personalities. Defying superficial interpretation and representation, Rare Birds humanises popular culture icons and places them alongside equally compelling people from everyday life. Da Cadenet's powerful photographs capture a subtle, ambiguous and unconventional beauty few manage to confine.
