PUBLISHER: powerHouse Books
PUBLICATION DATE: OCTOBER, 2004
HARDCOVER; B&W & COLOR

USA- CPI and powerHouse Books are proud to announce Precious (October, 2004) a collaboration by celebrity portrait photographers Melanie Dunea and Nigel Parry who pose the question “What is the most precious part of your body”. Including iconic images of Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, Paloma Picasso, Tom Ford, Mary-Louise Parker, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Juliette Lewis, Mickey Rourke, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres and more, all the royalties will be donated to the Starlight Children’s Foundation an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for seriously ill children and their families. The Photographs, each captured in both color and black & white, range from the lively to the serious; from the profound to the amusing. There are no limits as to where, how or of what part of the body the photograph is taken. Its essence lies within Dunea or Parry’s collaboration with their subject and their most precious part. Each portrait is accompanied by a quote explaining their choices. For serial rights and event sponsorship please contact Workhouse Publicity CEO, Adam Nelson via email at nelson@workhousepr.com. Press please contact Lehua Chong via email chong@workhousepr.com.
