In exclusive collaboration with Lionsgate, Assouline presents Tim Palen’s evocative and powerful photographs of the cast from the enormously successful series The Hunger Games. Palen is widely recognized as an industry pioneer in creating innovative marketing campaigns and his work for The Hunger Games has helped catapult the films to the top of the market. His unique relationship with each of the actors over the course of the filming of the series allowed him to capture each of them with striking intimacy and to transform the high-octane adventure of the films into exquisite visual art.

Compiled in one deluxe volume, Palen’s portraits, many of which have never been seen before, give fans access to their favorite characters as they have never encountered them. Through Palen’s unique lens, characters become icons in Tim Palen: Photographs from The Hunger Games, and will forever be immortalized as the beloved characters the world has embraced.

Tim Palen, chief brand officer and president of worldwide marketing at Lionsgate, is an award-winning fine-art photographer whose work encompasses editorial, advertising, fashion, portraiture, and video portraiture. He was named an AdWeek 2012 Brand Genius for his work on the global blockbuster The Hunger Games. Palen has also been recognized in Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business” and Entertainment Weekly’s “50 Smartest People in Hollywood.”
