Andrew Zuckerman's 'Wisdom'

For his latest photo book, Wisdom (Abrams, $50), Andrew Zuckerman, 30, photographed 51 of the world’s most respected seniors. The book boasts not only portraits of familiar names (such as Chuck Close and Vanessa Redgrave) but also words of, well, wisdom from his subjects. ”I was looking to break that celebrity veil,” he says. ”It’s not bulls— to say that every single person made an impression on me, and on a daily basis.”
