Book Overview

A decade in the making, The Sweater Book is a fascinating study in personality. By asking his subjects to put on the same cardigan sweater and seeing how they choose to wear it, Mosher was able to capture on film a most remarkable phenomenon - when given a common item with which to express themselves, each person's distinctive personality came shining through, and the sweater becomes a symbol of what each considers to be most unique about themselves...

Simply Lovely

I saw a feature on The Sweater Book in People Magazine. The photos there intrigued me and so I went in search of it. It was hard to find at first but once I did, I could not put it down and I bought it outright. In this book the artist (Stephen Mosher) has captured so many of my personal favourite actors and personalities in a light in which we, their audience, seldom see them. That is the state of being honest and themselves. More often than not, show folk are always performing or clowning for photo shoots and we rarely see any glimpse of the real person. Not so with The Sweater Book. By disarming his subjects with his common thread (a simple sweater) Mosher has given us a journey of artistry and a look into the hearts of his subjects. Bravo Stephen Mosher. You are the Herb Ritz of the 21st Century!

A Warm Book from a Warm Heart

This book is phenomenal. It captures not only the warmth of all the subjects, but Stephen's warm personality as well. You can hear him laugh and see him smile as you look at each picture. The man is the best photographer you could ask for.

Amazing

This book is such a beautiful and full experience from cover to cover. The photographs capture the spirit of each of their subjects. It would be very difficult to find a more beautiful or beautifully presented book. This book is a must for any serious collector and certainly for any fan of Broadway. EVERYBODY is in it! Well worth the very low-price. BUY THIS BOOK!

Absolutely fascinating!

Saw this book on display at a bookstore and am so glad I stopped to look at it. I've never seen anything like this. What a great idea to photograph so many well known people in the same sweater. I loved seeing what each person chose to do with the sweater and what the photographer had to say about some of the individual sessions. The fact that proceeds go to charity was icing on the cake. RUN to get this book!

An absolutely GORGEOUS book

THE SWEATER BOOK is a stunning look at human life through the form of many people (celebrity and non) wearing the exact same sweater. Mosher's photography is eye-catching and tremendously human which will bring an ear to ear grin to your face at one point as well as teary eyed sentiment the next.A MUST HAVE for any theater lover as well as photography fan. Substantial proceeds benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Cassidy's House in their fight against AIDS.
