For over four decades, photojournalist Christopher Little has captured significant moments in history and pop culture. His work has graced the covers of more than 300 magazines and books, including Time, People, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times.

Christopher’s subjects have ranged from U.S. presidents to cultural icons like Oprah Winfrey and Muhammad Ali; celebrated actors and musicians including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sophia Loren, Led Zeppelin, and David Bowie—and architectural masterpieces like Fallingwater.

This AMP Talk and book signing is a rare opportunity to meet a photographer whose lens has shaped how we see the world.

For forty years, Christopher Little held a front seat to history.

Shooting the Breeze: Memories of a Photojournalist is his story. The book details his intimate talks with presidents, movie stars, supermodels, rock ’n’ rollers, and lots of other world-famous people. During his career, he covered pivotal events and society’s shapers. There are more than 400 images in the book.

As he says in the introduction, “I don’t miss the stress. But traveling the world, covering historic events and meeting people who have made a difference—in politics, journalism, music, architecture, sports, writing, acting, modeling, television—those are the thrills I do miss.” His assignments took him to 83 countries and all 50 states.

Shooting the Breeze is filled with photographs and anecdotes of such diverse people as Johnny Cash, Bush ’41, Kate Hepburn, Oprah, ABBA, William F. Buckley, Jr., Sophia Loren, Sting, P. G. Wodehouse, Meg Ryan, Muhammad Ali, Woody Allen, David Letterman, Richard Gere, Oliver Sacks, Jerry Seinfeld, Queen Elizabeth, and many others.
