"Rare Birds" is a collection of works by British photographer Amanda de Cadene (1972–). She began her career as a television presenter at the age of 14, and after working as an actress, she moved to Los Angeles in the 1990s. She started her career as a photographer after beginning to photograph people close to her with a used Leica M6, and has since published portraits in publications such as Vogue, The New York Times Magazine, iD, and Rolling Stone. This book is her first monograph, compiling portraits taken over approximately 10 years, and features a diverse range of people, from celebrities such as Keanu Reeves, Drew Barrymore, Beck, and Sean Lennon to family, friends, and people she met on the street. Her intimate gaze, which captures celebrities and ordinary people at the same distance, resonates with the trend of culture magazines and fashion photography from the 1990s onward, seen in the works of Corinne Day, Juergen Teller, and Nan Goldin, and conveys a sense of reinterpreting pop culture figures not as mythologized, but as human beings. The fact that designer Marc Jacobs, known as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton, contributed a foreword to this photobook also indicates that it is a photobook that sits at the crossroads of fashion and pop culture.
