"A new book of photographs, ""Whitney: A Tribute to an Icon,"" was released last week.<br/><br/>""This was just shot in the bedroom,"" said Randee St. Nicholas, who curated the project and took many of the pictures in the book. ""What I wanted to do with this shoot -- and I'm so happy I had the time to do it -- was just give a well-rounded perspective of her."" <br/><br/>""She's not smiling and she's not dancing, which is what she did all day and every day. And when you're trying to shoot her, she's always dancing and singing, which is really fun. But every now and then, you want to get a more serious shot, just a moment where Whitney is more introspective. So that's what that setup was about.""<br/><br/>"
