From the inside jacket:
"The raw conviction of what is on display may solicit a myriad of responses and adjectives - passionate, beautiful, haunting, terrifying -all can be invoked to describe a Connie Imboden photograph." Julian Cox

When I first discovered the beauty and complexity of reflections and the human body in 1983, I had no idea it would continue to fascinate me to this day, 25 years after the fist exploration in a puddle of water. "Reflections" features 150 images that represent some of my favorite discoveries throughout the years, including some never before published black and white images and a selection of brand new color work. The project of putting this book together has drawn connections between some of the threads that have come up in this exploration from the beginning, as well as revealed new meaning and metaphors in both old and recent photographs. I'm thrilled with the outcome of "Reflections" - the reproductions are beautiful, the essays are eloquent, and seeing these images in this format has once again renewed my passion for my life's work.

"Reflections: 25 Years of Photography by Connie Imboden" begins shipping on February 20th, but you can order now via Paypal by clicking the link above. For other payment inquiries, or for more info, please e-mail me at
