Hollywood Confidential is the latest collection of beautifully timed photos from bestselling society photographer Dafydd Jones. Formerly of Tatler and Vanity Fair, Jones is a serial capturer of intimate moments during high-society functions ? as legendary editor Graydon Carter puts it, when it comes to party photographers, Dafydd Jones is 'the best of the best'. On numerous occasions in the 1990s and early '00s, Jones turned his lens to the faces of Hollywood royalty. At Vanity Fair Oscars parties, as well as exhibition openings, Golden Globes ceremonies and more, Jones snapped some of the biggest names in the celebrity sphere with all his usual guile and impudence. The result is a rare thing ? photographs that convey the underlying personalities of the world's most public figures as they mingled and partied at their most public events. Following on from England: The Last Hurrah and New York: High Life / Low Life, this is an essential portrait of celebrity culture from behind the scenes, featuring the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince, Tom Cruise, Winona Ryder and many, many others.
