About: Jump Book gathers Philippe Halsman’s now-iconic 178 jumps of artists, actors, writers, scientists, athletes, politicians, and cultural figures captured mid-jump.
“In a jump the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One has only to snap it with the camera.”
Philippe Halsman
The book includes portraits of figures such as Salvador Dalí, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Nixon, and remains one of the most recognizable concepts in portrait photography.
Light Made Magic Note: We love the playfulness and the beautifully strange concept behind Halsman’s self-described new “science” of jumping. Despite being made decades ago, every page turn still feels fresh, surprising, and impossible not to smile at.
