Becoming By Cindy Crawford: By Cindy Crawford with Katherine O' Leary

It’s a beautiful coffee table book showing the career of my favorite supermodel in photos and text. The book is both beautiful to look at and interesting to read. Cindy Crawford has been my idol when growing up in the 80s and 90s, I still work out to her videos. If you’re a fan of fashion photography - this book offers some of the best if not the best images I’ve come across.

Such a cool book! She's got a lot of substance and wisdom for spending a career as such a beautiful supermodel! She is a mother, business woman, and has learned a lot over the years. She's very open and honest in this book and the photos are phenomenal. She's worked with ALL the great photographers and designers. It's a great eye candy book, but there is even more to it.

Have always been interested in fashion photography, and this book contains some of the best images of this super model from some of the most iconic photographers ever to swing a camera. So while the book may be of great interest to those who have modelling aspirations, for me it was the chapters about Cindy's experience of working with theses guys. And then there are the images themselves - the book is full of the most exquisite photos that show the timelessness and magic of the B+W image.

Única e irrepetible! Divino libro con una calidad de impresión, de fotografías y de texto maravilloso.

This book by Cindy Crawford is a glimpse of her experiences as a model and towards the end, she discusses how she expanded her brand. I think Cindy is very attractive, smart, and back-in-the-day was a real Super Model. Seeing her photos in Vogue, I remember thinking "that woman is perfect" so I was expecting this book to be something one could sink their teeth into. But it's not. Let me start by stating what is good about this book. The binding: it doesn't have a paper cover, rather, the binding has some texture and her cover photo and back are printed on this binding. Eliminates having the paper cover tear-or-wear as the book is read and put on a bookshelf. Also, the paper quality is really good....somewhat "thick" pages that sometimes have you flipping 2 pages if you're not careful. Next: there are tons of photos in the book, many on one page. Photos that I don't remember seeing -- some are editorial that may not have been previously published. The photos are crisp and clear. There are also pages consisting of a montage of photos so you get many views of Cindy from her beginning years to the last years of her actual modeling career. And she does include many nude photos. For someone who is considering entering the modeling field, take note of this book and see how a real professional does her job. In addition, you will notice that she was not very thin during her career as compared to the stick figures we see today. I'm saying that in a good way because even Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour -- all had curves yet were still top models in Vogue and Bazaar. There's some overkill in this book that, in my opinion prevented me from giving it a 5-star review. First of all, she has 11 chapters (YES, 11 chapters) each devoted to a photographer she worked with. Totally useless -- she could have put that information in 1-2 chapters at best. What would have been a good idea to include is a chapter or two on her experiences working the haute couture in Paris and Milan. She did plenty of those shows and how fun would it have been to read about the process, or the clothes, or what models have to endure working these shows. Nothing about that in the entire book. Also, although this could be considered a coffee table book, there are many, many pages that are not completely covered in verbiage. Most chapters end at 1/3 or 1/2 of the page which of course adds to the volume of the book. Lastly, the book is really her memories of certain photo shoots - each given a chapter (K.D. Lang cover on Vanity Fair; or the shot of her with the python around her neck). This is not a how-to book; it's a trip down memory lane for Cindy -- perfect model with tons of money, perfect husband, perfect kids, perfect life. Other than 1 or 2 incidents that were sour (one was that the photographer Skrebneski shut her out of his life) this book is a Polyanna look at the modeling industry and Cindy Crawford. Nothing wrong with that but if you're thinking this is a meat-and-potatoes book, it's not. Lovely photos, some lovely stories --

This is a very nice book and overall an excellent tribute to the career and life of Cindy Crawford. Realistically, most fans of Cindy have probably seen half of the photos before this book was released. Some photos may never have been seen before and many have probably been forgotten. However, the quality of the photos and overall feel of the book is impeccable. Can you find some of these photos on the Internet, well of course. Naturally though, having this book is the better alternative. The book itself is huge and feels very solid which eases the pain of the purchase price. I'm sure many people think back to her Pepsi commercial during what I believe was the Superbowl and it's like wow!, where did the time go? Hopefully Cindy knows that her fans and any upcoming models or actresses do appreciate what she has done and accomplished. For any new or old fans of Cindy Crawford this is one for your den, office, coffee table or your favorite book shelf. Highly recommended!!!!

Item as described. Good quality. Shrink wrapped.

This is a fascinating book. Cindy's story is a lot richer than I'd have given her credit for. But it's the photography that I came for and that does not disappoint. Cindy has shot with many of the photography greats like Richard Avedon and Herb Ritts and the photos she presents here are simply excellent. The choices are great and the reproduction quality is top notch. I read this book cover to cover within a couple of days of receiving it and just loved it. It now enjoys a place of honour in my collection next to Avedon, Ritts, Newton, Unwerth and Penn.

過去に見た事がある写真が多かったけれど…。 それでも、とても素敵な写真集だった。 個人的に残念に思ったのは、リチャード・アヴェドン（による撮影）の写真が少なかった事。 （R・アヴェドンは）一番好きなファッション・フォトグラファーだったので…。 この写真集に掲載されていた、R・アヴェドンのモノクロ写真は、GIANNI VERSACE の広告だった物。 この、アヴェドンによる、GIANNI VERSACE の広告は本当に素晴らしく、 他のスーパーモデルも数多く起用されていた。 …全部見たかったな。 シンディ・クロフォードの素晴らしい写真ばかりだった。 …が、写真が少なすぎる！ ファンとしては、その点は少なからず残念に思うだろう。 他の元祖スーパーモデル達も、同様の写真集を発売してくれる事を切に願う。 クラウディア・シファー、クリスティ・ターリントン、リンダ・エヴァンジェリスタ etc... 皆、素晴らしい写真を数多く撮影しているのだから…！

Très beau livre avec nombreuses photos « cultes »

Bellissimo, davvero. Mi piace perché, oltre a proporre una serie ricchissima di foto e ritratti splendidi di una grandissima Modella, icona di un'epoca speciale e irripetibile, questo volume è anche tanto scritto. Cindy racconta la sua storia in prima persona, permettendoci di entrare nel suo mondo.
