Synopsis:

Bruce Weber is one of the most recognised names in modern American photography. Weber introduced "male glamour" into American culture, but his true art revolves around the myth of the American dream and the unfettered individual, depicted aginst the rawness of the land. Weber's images bring physical sensuality to life amidst sun, air and simplicity. For the photographer, beauty is 'nconceivable without the innocence of youth, hence so much of his work depicts young, vital subjects. He is most widely known for his fashion and advertising photography, Weber is also an accomplished portrait and landscape photographer. In Roadside America he takes us on a private trip that begins in New York City, travels south into the Everglades and across the country to Montana and Hollywood. Interwined are portraits of figures from the worlds of jazz, art, poetry and fashion, including Ella Fitzgeraid, Ray Charles, Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt and Kate Moss. Together these faces and places offer a truly American experience from the renowned American photographer.
