From portraits of Andy Warhol, Jean-Luc Godard and Penélope Cruz to a voodoo ceremony in Benin, from scenes within the Pentagon to indigenous people in the rainforests of Sarawak, from geishas in Tokyo to a lone iceberg in Antarctica— Alberto Venzago has seemingly had half the world in front of his Leica. This self-taught photographer (not to mention filmmaker) has traveled the globe more times than he can remember, always in search of that next unforgettable moment. Taking Pictures, Making Pictures presents nearly 200 images—many as yet unpublished—selected from the thousands Venzago has made over the past decades, and shows his astute ability to transform the people he photographs into actors who perform for his lens.
