‘Into The Light’ is a stunning twenty-year retrospective coffee table book by award-winning music photographer Jérôme Brunet, featuring a foreword by rock legend Steve Miller, and showcasing musical luminaries such as B.B. King, Slash, Tom Petty, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Santana, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, The Who, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones, just to name a few! Brunet’s breathtaking style of shooting “contre-jour” or “into the light,” (in which the photographer shoots toward a light source), has earned him numerous accolades and awards, including his most recent first place at the 2024 International Photo Awards, and the coveted 2025 Graphis Photography Gold Award. This hardcover 208-page book features over 140 color and black & white images on heavyweight fine art matte paper showcasing Brunet’s carefully curated collection of visually arresting photography of some of the most important faces in music.
