For Real by Paris Visone

New book from Paris Visone
FOR REAL
With a foreword by Cig Harvey

September 1, 2018 — Peanut Press is thrilled to announce the debut book For Real by photographer Paris Visone, featuring her photographs of family, friends and rock stars. Books will be available for sale on Wednesday, September 5, 2018.

 Paris Visone is a documentary photographer based in Boston. She graduated from The Art Institute of Boston where she was a faculty member. Her acclaimed series “Gender Roles and Appearance” received the Getty Images Editorial Photography Grant, and her work has been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Visone has traveled the globe with numerous musical icons including Marilyn Manson, Blondie, Toto, Godsmack, New Found Glory and Limp Bizkit. Bringing her unique style on the road, she captures a personal side of these musicians through her photographs that is rarely seen. She has also been featured in numerous publications such as Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Zoom Magazine, Rangefinder, Real Simple, and GEO Magazine. She is represented for photographic syndication by Redux Pictures and is sponsored by Canon.

The publication of For Real marks the first time that Visone's photographs will appear in a book, showcasing her incredible work that bridges the gap between commercial photography and fine art. Consisting of 61 images with a foreword by noted photographer Cig Harvey, For Real presents intimate portraits of famous musicians and Visone’s own family, blurring the lines between private life, fame, and public persona. In her photographs, Visone portrays her family and friends as rock stars while presenting renowned rock musicians with the intimacy of friends and family. Which one of her subjects is a public figure and which is her sister, cousin, or mother? Visone makes it difficult to tell as she treats every subject equally with respect and love.

For Real was edited by David Carol, and designed by Ashly Stohl and is available in two editions: a hardbound trade edition and a limited edition featuring a signed trade edition and one of four signed and numbered prints, printed on Hahnemühle paper.
