Money People Politics

Spanning over a decade of his portrait work, showing some of the most dynamic, influential, and controversial figures in modern politics, popular culture, sports, entertainment, technology, science, space travel, and global culture, Money People Politics is an electrifying retrospective from renowned contemporary photographer, Marco Grob. Whether a candid moment of vulnerability, raw emotion, or the direct, unadulterated gaze, Grob’s portraits are uniquely ennobling, but ultimately human. Through his autonomous and intimate photographic process with each special personality that has impacted and shaped recent culture, the photographer has been granted a rare and privileged “front-row seat to history.” Wholly passionate and committed to his craft that began as a beloved hobby over 30 years ago, Marco Grob believes that when you “carry a camera, you carry a responsibility.”

This book accompanies an exhibition to be held at the Museum of National History in Denmark from August 2016 to January 2017, to be opened by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary
