Amy Winehouse by Blake Wood Taschen Book

Remembering Amy Winehouse, a cherished icon

This book contains wonderful photos by photographer Blake Wood who met Amy Winehouse at the peak of her career after winning five Grammy Awards for her 2006 album Back to Black. Wood moved to London in 2007 where he met Amy through a mutual friend and became inseparable for two whole years. This intimate visual diary of 85 color and black-and-white photographs documents their time together and the close friendship they created, showcasing their mutual love, trust and respect. Spanning private moments in London, Paris and St. Lucia, these previously unpublished photographs capture a rare and lighter side of this Winehouse that the public eye didn't always get to witness.
