"The Most Intriguing Women Of The Last 50 Years" Bill has begun working on this exiciting new book. In the next 18-24 months he will be working with publicist Terre Arrigoni to create images of many of the most exciting, interesting, beautiful and intriguing women on our planet!

This book will be an exhausting project as Bill travels to photograph high-profile women in their environment. A sampling of the women that will be invited to appear in this important project are Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Laura Bush, Halle Berry, Cher, Sarah Palin, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sophia Loren, Jennifer O'Neill, Reese Witherspoon, Susan Lucci, Jodi Foster, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, Venus Williams, etc., etc. ...

A project of this size & scope requires much planning and organization. We will work with the stars' agents and public relations people to travel and photograph with the fewest amount of problems. It is quite an honor to be selected for a coffee-table book celebrating inclusion as the MOST INTRIGUING woman of an entire 100 years!

Bill has traveled to over 170 countries on all seven continents. He has shot over 1000 magazine covers, but he is more excited documenting these honored ladies for this special book. Look for this book to appear soon and celebrate with us this prestigious collection of important women on our planet Earth.

 

"Most Intriguing Women" -- Jennifer O'Neill

Jennifer O'Neill is the first woman I photographed for this book. Any boy over ten years old in the 70's remembers her in the classic movie "Summer of 42." We all fell in love!

I traveled to Nashville to shoot these photos of Jennifer. She even cooked me a great pasta dinner... how good is that!

The photo on the left will be in the book. Taken on her porch, she looks as beautiful as that classic movie. That same soft look.

Jennifer has done many other movies & TV specials and has lived an interesting life. Much of her tragedy has made her stronger -- therefore even more INTRIGUING. She now runs Jennifer O'Neill Ministries in Nashville and I am impressed with the woman she is today.

"Send Me Anywhere" is one of Bill's three newest books. You have never witnessed a book with more vibrant color!

This book is a smorgasbord of color for your senses. As Bill travels the world, he looks everywhere for graphic color to illustrate the beauty of our planet. This collection of almost eighty exciting images will take you on a trip around our Earth that you won't believe.

All of Bill's other books have stories and writing about the many photographs. He wanted to make this book totally different. He succeeded in allowing just the brilliant colors to speak to the reader without words or interpretation.

Bill has traveled to over 170 countries on all seven continents. In "Send Me Anywhere" he has selected the best of the best! You will discover images from the top of the world (above the Arctic Circle) to the bottom (below the Antarctic Circle.) Bill has even documented colorful tribes in many remote parts of the world and in this book he brings them alive.

Bill highly recommends this new book for anyone who loves photography. It is also a great, inexpensive gift to those who love to travel.

"Images of Woman" is also one of Bill's three newest books.

If you look at the nude slideshow on the website, you will see a few samples of the great B&W images Bill has created for this new book.

Returning to his love of B&W photography was a joy for Bill. He travels around the world for a prestigious array of advertising agencies and magazines, shooting color advertising images. In this book, however, Bill turns inward and shows his own personal fine-art nude ideas in black & white.

Many of the models in "Images of Woman" are highly paid models in the magazine world. Here they posed for Bill, and his creative ideas, to capture something unusual, sensual and intriguing.

This book took several years to develop. Bill often took time from his busy commercial work to create fine-arts images to share with the world.

"Images of Woman" is a chance to look into the mind of a top commercial photographer creating his own personal vision -- without the paid assignments, big crews, and all the glamour involved in large advertising projects. This book should stimulate your visions and appreciation of art in a pure artistic form.

"Introspective World:  A Photographic Journey for the Senses" is Bill Bachmann's favorite writing. This brilliant coffee-table book is the ultimate travel photography journey... a book you will be proud to display in your home. You will witness so much of the world.

Bill feels this is the most rewarding project he has ever worked on in his career.  He says, "It's the best writing I've ever done.  It takes the reader on a wonderful voyage around our planet."

This large, beautifully produced book was printed on the very best gallery paper. Each page has colorful images with sensitive writing to experience this planet that we all share. You will travel as never before, witnessing places and people of earth. It has already won several design and printing awards and will be valued by anyone that loves photography or travel. You will experience our planet in ways you may never have considered... Bill's writing will touch your feelings. You will realize that people on earth have much more in common than they have differences... if only our world leaders would learn this.

You will treasure both the photography and the sensitive writing in this book, and you will be proud to display it in your home... or give as a special gift.

"Orlando: The City Beautiful" is a book that Bill proudly produced in collaboration with former Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood.

This coffee-table book is a wonderful example of living in Orlando today. Bill has traveled the world, but still enjoys returning to Orlando - his adopted hometown.

"Orlando: The City Beautiful" is a large colorful story of people and places in the Central Florida area. Most books about Orlando talk about the theme parks... this book shows beautifully what it is like to really LIVE in Orlando. You will meet many characters that live in the area and give Central Florida it's personality. Bachmann and Mayor Hood really illustrated the city as a fun and vibrant Southern community.

Whether or not you call Orlando home, you will enjoy this escapade around the best city in Florida.

"Clicking The Shutter Is The Easy Part" is a must read for anyone interested in what REALLY happens in the advertising photography business. Author Bill Bachmann takes the reader behind the scenes on actual assignments as part of the photo team, illustrating the humorous events on locations all over the world. His wit and enthusiasm keep the audience interested as he documents -- with pictures and writing -- the production set-ups, how to work with beautiful models, and favorite places in the world to shoot. There are several chapters that show day-by-day shot lists and set-ups, with all the crazy changes to which a photographer must adapt. Any assistant who wants to work in the business should read this book!

This was Bill's first book and is still a great help to photographers, models, assistants and other crew hopefuls to get (and KEEP) interesting and lucrative assignments. One whole chapter tells what it is like to shoot famous celebrities like Bill Cosby, Donna Rice, Charlton Heston, Muhammad Ali, Burt Reynolds, and many others. The reader goes behind the scenes to find out what so many famous people are really like in their life. You'll travel to many exotic parts of the world and experience first-hand the "secrets of the trade." There are over 160 photographs, many behind the scenes, that illustrate commercial assignments from magazines.

Even though this was a early book written by Bill, it is still very informative and helpful today to anyone interested in the advertising business.

"Bachmann Tour Overdrive... Exploring Our Planet" Once a year Bill directs a group of special photographers & people that just love to travel to hard-to-reach places on Earth. This book is a cooperative effort to showcase the trips and these special individuals.

This once-a-year voyage is affectionately called "Bachmann Tour Overdrive". Many of the photographers that have traveled with Bill have published images of these exotic locations here.

The reader will admire the images from all over the world, in addition to the writing about our Earth. One of the best sections of the book is a five-page collage of crazy candids of the BTO group just being themselves.

Bill is as excited about this book -- featuring these outstanding people & pictures -- as he has been about any book he has produced. It is truly grand to highlight images from people who have become lifelong friends.

When you read this book & look at the photographs, you will want to travel with the "Bachmann Tour Overdrive" group yourself!
