<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>From perfect pink ladies to rough-skinned russets: a gorgeous study of the wondrous variety of apples</strong></p><p>William Mullan's obsession with apples began when he saw his first Egremont Russet at a Waitrose grocery store outside of London. Fascinated by its gnarled, potato-like appearance and shockingly fresh, nutty flavor, Mullan began searching for, and photographing, rare apple varieties. In <i>Odd Apples</i>, each apple is lovingly rendered and styled according to its individual "personality"--a combination of its looks and its flavors. The apples are set against complementary brightly colored backdrops; they are peeled or unpeeled, cut or whole, skin shriveled or perfectly smooth and shiny.<br>It is precisely this odd charm combined with the hitherto unknown that makes these photographs fascinating studies of a supposedly commonplace fruit. Mullan embraces its idiosyncratic aesthetic qualities completely, and invites us, in this attractive gift book, to embark on a visual expedition into the world of the apple. <br>By day, William Mullan (born 1989) works at an artisanal chocolate factory in Brooklyn, and by night, he photographs fruit. British-born, New York-based Mullan came to photography as an autodidact and his talent was quickly recognized. His <i>Odd Apple</i> project developed into an influential and much talked-about series, reviewed by the <i>New Yorker</i>, the <i>New York Times</i> and <i>i-D Magazine</i>, and released as a sold-out run of prints on his website.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Mullan's compendium celebrates the beauty and idiosyncrasies of each cultivar in Technicolor glory.--Sara Semic "Financial Times: How To Spend It"<br><br>The enchanting portraits are imbued with meaning beyond the fruit's physical qualities--Grace Ebert "Colossal"<br>
