Medve
Dezső László (1970, Gyergyótölgyes) az erdélyi kortárs fotográfia egyik kiemelkedő alakja. A Székelyföldön élő és alkotó fotós fényképei számtalan hazai és nemzetközi fotószalon egyéni és közös tárlatain köszönnek vissza, illetve napilapok, neves magazinok is kérik és közlik fotóit.
Fényképei elsősorban az 1991-ben általa alapított gyergyószentmiklósi MARK HOUSE Kiadó és Nyomda égisze alatt megjelenő, turistáknak, túrázóknak, természetbarátoknak (és nem csak) szóló termékeket illusztrálja – a magyar, román, angol és német nyelveken megjelenő turistakalauzok, útikönyvek, atlaszok, naptárak és egyéb kiadványok oldalait színesítik a környezete természeti szépségeit és értékeit, az épített örökséget, a kultúrát, hagyományokat megörökítő és dokumentáló fotográfiái. Eddigi megjelent jelentősebb munkái között találjuk a Világszép gyilkostó (2008), a Gyilkostó (2010), a Csíksomlyó, a kegyhely (2010), a Barangolások Gyergyószéken (2016), az Erdély – A Kárpátok Tündérkertje (2018) című, gazdagon illusztrált köteteket.
Dezső László ismert és elismert természetjáró, mindennapjainak jelentős részét természetközelben éli meg. 2008 és 2014 között Erdély legrégebbi és legnagyobb turistaszervezetének, az Erdélyi Kárpát-Egyesületnek országos vezetője volt. Kiválóan ismeri a Kárpátok és Erdély vadregényes tájainak rejtett természeti ritkaságait. Időt, fáradságot nem kímél, amikor akár több napot és több száz kilométert kell utaznia egy-egy egyedi fénykép elkészítése érdekében.Dezső László a gyergyószentmiklósi Vadgazdálkodási Egyesület tagjaként Székelyföldön az elsők között hozott létre vad, és különösen a medvék megfigyelésére alkalmas biztonságos lest.
Az elmúlt 10 évben több száz napot és éjszakát töltött a vadonban, a medvék természetes életterében és társaságában. A számtalan, türelemmel és fegyelemmel ellesett pillanat tapasztalatait következetesen feljegyezte, naplóba foglalta, és fényképezőgéppel megörökítette. Ennek a kitartó tevékenységnek gyümölcse a MEDVE című albumjellegű könyv. A könyv élethűen mutatja be a kárpáti barna medve életét, életkörülményeit a születés pillanatától a domináns medvévé válásig. Külön fejezetek foglalkoznak a medve egykori és napjainkban történő vadászatával, de az ember és medve kapcsolatát érintve, a napjainkban mindennapossá vált és világgá kürtölt székelyföldi medveproblémák árnyalatait is láttatja. A benne megjelenő több mint 200 fénykép segítségével nem mindennapi lencsevégre kapott pillanatoknak lehetünk a szemtanúi.

Jaké dnes již zaniklé profese se s ním pojily? Kde se scházeli proslulé pivní společnosti? Kniha fotografa a majitele rodinné sbírky starých fotografií Pavla Scheuflera představuje pivní kulturu z pohledu fotografů časů monarchie, počínaje od sklizně chmele, přes proces výroby a zrání, až po pivní radovánky. Jednotlivé fotografie doprovází autor poutavými příběhy, které starým snímkům vdechují život.

Chasing Light
Captured in vivid colour and magnificent quality, the unique moments that photographer Stefan Forster discovers in out-of-the-way places in nature take place on adventurous backcountry trips far from civilisation, with Forster lugging up to 80 pounds in camera gear and camping equipment. With enormous enthusiasm and prepared for anything, he often hikes through remote areas for weeks at a time on his search for the extraordinary. He has taken long solo kayak expeditions along Greenland's west coast, hopped from island to island in Micronesia, and slogged through the swamps of Louisiana and Texas to find the area's most beautiful cypress trees, dodging alligators all the while.
The results are unique and fascinating photos. This book presents this young photographer's most beautiful experiences to date, including everything from rare rainstorms in the world's driest desert and the Northern Lights shimmering through icebergs to spectacular shots of the Rocky Mountains. Forster was one of the first photographers to use state-of-the-art quadcopter drones, giving his pictures fresh, new perspectives.
Stefan Forster published some of these aerial shots for the first time in Above the World - Earth Through a Drone's Eye, released by teNeues in September 2016.

Flamingo
Rarely does a bird mesmerise us as much as the flamingo: Graceful, elegant and decked out in colourful plumage, it has evolved into a trendy bird with a cult following in recent years. And no one can give us a better understanding of this animal than Claudio Contreras Koob: A biologist and photographer, he has had a special relationship with the flamingos of his native Mexico since childhood. At a young age, he would disappear for hours into the swamps and mangrove forests of the Yucatan Peninsula to discover the local flora and fauna, where he encountered for the first time the breathtaking display a flamingo colony presents during mating season. Since that day, his love for nature, and especially flamingos, has been unwavering.
With over 120 spectacular photographs, this book offers a glimpse into the behaviour and life of a flamingo colony as never seen before. It is the result of over 20 years of a passion that combines biology and photography.

Africa
Gain new perspective on the vibrant and innovative world of contemporary African fashion design, bursting with fresh creativity and free from reductive stereotypes.
From the runway in Lagos and music festivals in Casablanca or Nairobi, to the "image makers" of Marrakech and the influencers of Dakar or Accra, a new generation of African fashion designers, photographers, bloggers, and hair and makeup artists are redefining the aesthetic contours of the continent. Audacious, humorous, disruptive, and innovative are the bywords of these young creatives who, while drawing upon and revalorizing their heritage, offer an ultra-contemporary perspective on fashion today. A creative revolution is spreading in an extension of continental revindication through cultural reappropriation and the invention of a visual language.
Appliqué figures straight from Ghanaian Asafo flags seem to chant modern slogans as they march across silk dresses, traditional textile prints give power back to women, and Xhosa beaded embroidery serves as an inspiration for modern knitwear. Body-artists transform themselves into platforms for activism, and photographers--using clothing and finery--question identity, gender, and environment. Urban neighborhoods are reframed in a new light through the lens of ubiquitous smartphones.
This volume celebrates a creative, effervescent generation, which--by breaking the rules and rewriting the narrative of the African continent--is inventing a new and resolutely African chapter in the history of fashion that is now resonating across the globe.
Světlo a hmota
