{"product_id":"new-york-legs-stacey-baker-9783868286984","title":"New York Legs","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the past three years, Stacey Baker has been photographing women's legs in New York City and posting the pictures on Instagram, where she has over seventy-five thousand followers. The women are strangers she meets on the street who agree to pose in front of a nearby wall. Only their legs are visible in the frame: She always frames them so the subject is cut off at the waist. She rigorously stages these photographs, asking the muse to stand in front of a gritty, textured wall, and composing each image so the heels line up with the horizon line where the wall meets the chewing-gum-pocked sidewalk, and always framing it so the thin strip of pavement takes up about a sixth of the picture. By following this disciplined approach, Baker has figured out a way to commandeer a portrait studio out of the chaos of midtown Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe images, viewed collectively, reflect the diversity of the female figure and also reflect the personality of each subject as well as the fashion of the moment: leggings, miniskirts, jeans, etc. Many of the pictures were taken on West 40th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, near where Baker works as a photo editor at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, often during her lunch hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book has been designed by Matt Willey, named 'Designer of the Year' 2014 by Creative Review, and currently the Art Director of The New York Times Magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAS AUF AMAZON.DE ANGEGEBENE ERSCHEINUNGDATUM BEZIEHT SICH NUR AUF USA.
