Two interesting articles already talk about the book.

----------------------

"A PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY"

"(...) The book is striking for its depth and honesty. Hardly any of the photographs are posed, and Le Riche seems at ease in front of the lens, perhaps even unaware that he is being photographed. In nearly all black and white photographs, Deniau has captured Le Riche as both a dedicated dancer and an everyman.(...) This book speaks to the trust that Le Riche and Deniau have built from working together over the past several years."

"That photo of Le Riche is AMAZING. The grain in that photo is so beautiful."

DANCING PERFECTLY FREE

"A REMARKABLE TRIBUTE"

" Photographer Anne Deniau has produced a remarkable tribute to the Paris Opera Ballet's premier danseur Nicolas Le Riche. A protege of the late Rudolf Nureyev, Le Riche is known for both his expressive dancing and his dramatic intensity.

321 NICOLAS

Deniau's book is daringly conceived in two parts: Nicolas (about the man) and Le Riche (about the artist) and you flip it over midway thru to move from one aspect to the other. Aside from an interview in which Deniau and Le Riche show the warmth and good-humour of their mutual admiration, there are only very brief written passages. Deniau makes Le Riche leap off the page with her superb photographs which capture not only his artistry but the myriad facets of his personality both onstage and off.(...)
I don't believe I've ever seen such a grandly extensive collection of photographs of a dancer basically at one period in his career all in one book."
