Thames & Hudson, the British publishing house releases "From Where I stand", the first career-spanning book of photographs by Mary McCartney, daughter of the Beatle Paul, and sister of the fashion designer Stella.
Even if this book draws on 15 years of photography, Mary McCartney had to make a sharp selection amongst the shots. She says: "It might seem like a lot of photos but there are also favourites that aren't in there."
Still, one can admire beautiful shots of actors such as Dame Helen Mirren (up) or Tilda Switon (below), fashion stars such as Kate Moss or Dame Vivienne Westwood or artists such as Sam Taylor Wood or a turned-Frida Kahlo's Tracey Emin (alongside Madonna on the picture up there). All of these celebrities appear to be British. This encapsulates the disguised purpose of the book: to celebrate Britishness and eccentricity: " a sense of Britishness is definitely something that is very present in my work. I live in England and I'm proud to be British" adds Mary.
