American Portraits : 100 Countries Hardback

Description

Photography by acclaimed photographer Michael Clinton. This celebration of the American melting pot, American Portraits, is similarly inspired by the ideals of freedom and hope embodied in America's beloved monument, the Statue of Liberty. In this extraordinary collection of portraits, photographer Michael Clinton captures the diverse faces that make up the American mosaic.

Together, the ninety-three Americans in these portraits trace their ancestry to 100 different countries.

Through this visual journey, we meet Americans like Renee Dominique, descended from Afghanis, Irish, and Trinidadians; Russ Theriot, who is Canadian, French, Norwegian, and Cajun, and Andrea Luhtanen with a mixed Slovenian and Finnish background.

While the images remind us just how diverse Americans look, the brief autobiographical descriptions appearing on the page of each subject prove that what binds all Americans together is our forefathers' dreams for a better life. Spending two years searching for citizens of widespread and varied ancestries, Clinton recorded personal journeys along the way-reminding him each time of what America stands for-and making him prouder than ever to call himself American.
