I've sort of found it....

It's in the 'The Sopranos' companion book - which is not a bad book, but I'm not enough of a fan to pay the price for it:

There's a really lovely photo-of-a-photo, which I am almost hesitant to post cause the photo really loses its impact:



If you can find the original, then you'll see why I like it - the lighting is really good and there is a real atmosphere to the situation and characters. The crap copy loses all of this.
I'll explain more if I can find a decent version...


The Sopranos photos always give me strong mixed emotions:



(is this Leibovitz?)

I like the way that the characters are independant from each other and separate entities - in some cases, not even focussed on the same subject. That's kind of rare in an ensemble image. Usually, everyone is in the same plane, looking at the same thing and usually physically touching each other. In this case, all the characters are separate and you get quite a cold emotion from the,

On the other hand, I really dislike the fact that all these shots are obviously cut and paste composition jobs - which does grate quite badly.
