This is a book ofportraits--but not just any portraits! In The Bigger Picture,award-winning photographer Diana Walker shares an amazing cast of characters from her three-decade adventure as a White House photographer for TIME magazine. In fascinating images and enlightening commentary, Walker shows us the real person behind the portrait--revealing a First Lady's secret for comfort during long speeches...the myth of Hollywood glamour lampooned by a well-known star...surprising takes on diplomacy and friendship from a female Secretary of State...and a President so tickled during an official event that he progresses from smiling to chuckling to full-out teary-eyed laughter.

Walker's aim is "to tell you something about the people...perhaps shedding light on aspects of their character you might not have noticed, or reinforcing opinions you already had.I hope you will have as good a time looking at the photographs as I had in taking them."

Explore some of the marvelous images inside. You'll lose yourself in the richness of the experience...and find yourself making Walker's wish come true.
