'Oscar's red carpet extends the length and breadth of America. But the thrill of walking down the red carpet on Oscar Night won't be felt by the stars in Hollywood alone... the 75th Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast in over 75 countries around the world.

- On Set by Greg Williams ($50 Hardback)

On Set is a three-year photographic project by renowned photojournalist Greg Williams, documenting the behind-the-scenes story of the renaissance of the British Film industry. The resulting archive of pictures provides a unique and intimate insight into the production of over 35 films -- capturing the very essence and energy of the craft of filmmaking, and the diversity of talent at work in British cinema today both old and new, in front of and behind the camera.
Included are images of:
**MICHAEL CAINE -- nominated for this years Best Actor in a Leading Role for THE QUIET AMERICAN -- on the set of LITTLE VOICE with BRENDA BLETHYN -- nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1998

On Set also includes an introduction by ALAN PARKER -- nominated for Best Director in 1978 for MIDNIGHT EXPRESS and in 1988 for MISSISSIPPI BURNING, and text from other Oscar nominees including MIKE LEIGH, TERRY GILLIAM, ISMAIL MERCHANT, NIGEL HAWTHORNE, EMILY WATSON and Oscar winner RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH.
Sinatra: An Intimate Collection is a commemoration of the man, movie star and myth, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of FRANK SINATRAS Oscar winning portrayal of Maggio in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.
Legendary Hollywood snapper Bob Willoughby was one of the few to capture not only Sinatras charm, charisma and dangerous cool, but also the tenderness and fragility of the father, friend and human being. Some of Willoughbys most famous images of 'Old Blue Eyes turning on the magic on-stage are accompanied by revealing, previously unseen shots of Frank in private conversation, in negotiations, hanging with fellow rats, and at home with his family.
Including images on set of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM -- for which Sinatra was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1955 -- through to the hard drinking razzmatazz of the Rat Packs original version of OCEANS 11. Willoughbys camera was there to document the stolen moments between Sinatra and a host of his friends and costars, including: DEAN MARTIN, SAMMY DAVID JR. MONTGOMERY CLIFT, BURT LANCASTER, SHIRLEY MACLAINE and JUDY GARLAND.
Audrey: An Intimate Collection is the UKs number one selling new photography title of 2002 re-released this spring to honour the 50th Anniversary of AUDREY HEPBURNS Oscar winning US debut as Princess Anne in ROMAN HOLIDAY and coinciding with a major documentary on Lifetime Television.
As Hepburn's career soared upwards following this award, Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the many facets to Hepburn's beauty and elegance as she progresses from her debut to the career high of MY FAIR LADY in '63.
Willoughby's images, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors and returning to her private self, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of last century's touchstone beauties.
