Description

The actor, photographer, and bestselling author reveals the Hollywood we see-and the one we don't-with a photography narrative featuring more than 250 emotionally charged color and black and white photos. Keegan Allen is a Hollywood native, growing up in a world that millions visit and many more imagine. With an avid fan base that follows him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and a busy career that includes seven years on the hit series Pretty Little Liars as well as films directed by James Franco and Gia Coppola, Allen also is a lifelong photographer whose first book, life.love.beauty, was a national bestseller. Now Keegan turns his eye and camera to the place he knows best. Hollywood captures the beauty and glamour of the place itself-with unusual angles of the famous sign, the Chateau Marmont at twilight, secret local hideaways, red carpets and more-but also the darker side of dreams unrealized in the faces, hands, eyes, and footsteps of those who live on the fringe of celebrity. His photos are enhanced by revealing, intimate captions, lyrics, and other writing, as well as exciting parodies, and iconic emulations. A book that will engage and surprise Keegan's legions of fans and followers, Hollywood is an essential gift for anyone who has visited or imagined this storied place.

Reviews

Promising a view into the real Hollywood, Allen's vision of the city is that of a romantic: dusk, splashing around in a fountain with a girl he's just met at the bus stop, and a view of the city's glowing skyline as seen from the vantage of its iconic sign. - Booklist
