London: the capital city of the United Kingdom and the political, economic, and cultural heart of the country. Along with Paris, Tokyo, and New York, London is considered one of the alpha capitals of the world: a pulsing, vibrant mega-metropolis which attracts millions of tourists and travelers each year with its history, museums, theater, art, fine dining, rich traditions, and multicultural flair. Streets of London is a contemporary take on the classic city photo book. To capture all the diversity that characterizes London, this volume features more than 40 contemporary photographers with equally varied perspectives and styles. From the world-renowned London landmarks and tourist attractions like Tower Bridge, the Thames, and St. Paul's Cathedral to lesser-known London boroughs and neighborhoods, each photographer offers a personal view of the British metropolis, allowing for a fresh photo tribute to a historic city, as well as visual inspirations for Londoners, old and new.

Another book from the Streets of… series, Streets of Amsterdam is yet another a contemporary take on the classic city photo book, and this time, it's wholly dedicated to MENDO's home base: Amsterdam, a city they know by heart. The book is an introduction to the visual and kaleidoscopic collection of Amsterdam's beauty, as captured by more than 40 native and international photographers. Amsterdam is more than just the canals and the canal houses alongside them: it's one of the most diverse and multicultural cities in the world, offering a vibrant mix of people and urban sights delightfully collected into this coffee table book. From street photography in the city's red light district to the architectural wonders in Amsterdam's most modern neighborhoods--each photographer offers a personal perspective on the Dutch capital, allowing this book to be a fresh photo tribute to a historic city, as well as a visual inspiration for Amsterdammers, old and new.

If you spend a reasonable amount of time online, chances are you may have stumbled across the phrase: #SENDNUDES. A staple of millennial lingo, the term is used to request sexually explicit photographs, typically over text messaging and dating apps. Over time, #SENDNUDES has also evolved into a meme, deployed as a common punchline in image and video internet jokes. Today, #SENDNUDES is making another transition--as the title of a carefully curated book of nude photography. In collaboration with Iman Whitfield, MENDO reached out to photographers all over the world and asked them to send their favorite shots of female sensuality and intimacy. The result is a visually stunning photo collection approaching erotic photography from a female point of view, celebrating the diversity of female beauty and body confidence, and teasing the delicate line between that which is revealed and that which remains private. The featured images were sent from all over the world, from such highly skilled erotic photographers as Dennis Swiatkowski, Fauve Bouwman, and Paul Bellaart--each bringing a distinctive style and approach to female sensuality, intimacy, and elegance

As one of Europe's most vibrant cities for art, fashion, and culture, it's challenging to capture the multifaceted city of Paris from the perspective of one lens. Therefore, Streets of Paris bundles the work of 37 photographers, both Paris natives and visitors alike, who roam the thousands of Parisian "rues" to capture multiple points of view. When combined, their independent visual voices show an unprecedented collection of Paris images. Unique views of the city's Haussmann architecture and famous landmarks like the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower reveal an evocative city portrait. Lively areas overflowing with art and fashion, as well as lesser-known impressions of the city's "banlieues", are all captured with a wide-eyed love for "la Ville Lumiere."
