The Legend Lives On
See Amy Winehouse the way she saw herself




Photographer Blake Wood met Amy Winehouse at the peak of her career, and for two years they became inseparable. In 85 color and black-and-white photographs, this collection records their time together, spanning private moments in London, Paris, and St. Lucia. These previously unseen photographs capture a rare and lighter side of this much-missed icon, and are an intimate homage to Winehouse as she wanted to see herself.

I'm super excited to have another photobook of Amy. I have "Before Frank" and "A life through the lens" and they are amazing. I also hope Darren and Elliot Bloom will release a 2nd book knowing how many photos they took of her.

This looks amazing!

Something is not clear to me.Amy was a singer, not a model.Were those photos taken in order to publish and show them to the world? I don't understand why nobody helped her during her last months. I can't stand the fact that she is gone. What about realising new songs?

'Thank you Blake' Those are not words I ever thought I'd see regarding Amy

She had a very expressive and emotional face so I'm not surprised that many photographers was interested in working with her. She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. Maybe it's vulnerability. Speaking for myself, I think she was absolutely gorgeous   One of my favorite faces.

OK, I've removed them, but they are 2 different people.

It was just a bit of a joke, sorry if it was taken otherwise.

Good Blake was on ITV News this evening, he seems like a really nice guy.

Hold the phone! I have never heard him speak. This whole time I thought he was British? He's actually American, what. Maybe cuz I always saw him in London with Amy. So he lived there. Wow. Also he looks so much like Florentino, this Spanish singer from Venezuela. The brothers servando y Florentino.

Well, let me be honest. That man is giving me bad vibes. I wish him all the best for this book though. I just wish Amy would have had another kind of friends.I wish someone had stayed next to her after Belgrade's disaster. It's so unfair the fact that she is gone. Sad, really sad.

I felt the same at first, I think it's the fact that he met her at her most vunerable but he spoke nicely of her. I don't know what to think of him. I just hope that he genuinely cared about her.

I'm not sure what the above links have to do with Blake, but from what I've seen he seems like a decent person. Plus I think he is a teetotaler so it's not like he was "part of the wrong crowd" in that regard.

I just got the book, it's beautiful.

Looking forward to buying it too.  I see that Dionne did some songs at a book launch last night and Kelly Osborne spoke at it too.
