Re-framed
Marc Hom showcases his works at the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown, New York, far from gallery conventions: indoors and in nature, initially intimate and small-scale, then larger than life - outdoors in movable frames, subject to the wind, sun, and shadows.
This new style of photo presentation from inception to completion is shown in the book.
The execution and impact of this exhibition concept documented in the book expand the viewer's visual habits of photography.
Part museum experiment, part documentary book project: Re-Framed shows the work of famed photographer Marc Hom in a whole new light. In this combined indoor/outdoor exhibition, viewers engage with the medium of portrait photography via the juxtaposition of a controlled classical indoor show with sculpture-like eleven-foot- tall photographs displayed and left exposed outdoors in the open air. This creates a new way to experience photography in an ever-evolving environment, while discovering oversized, larger-than-life pieces amidst the green lawn and lakeshore behind the museum building. Hom’s outdoor studio portraits, displayed in flexible three-meter-high frames, are vulnerable to elements that change the viewing experience: literally, the wind and weather.
In his oeuvre-spanning show, the renowned Danish photographer provides examples from the last twenty years of his unique ability to stage seemingly private and intimate moments in the lives of his subjects in creative and unexpected ways. This makes Re-Framed a retrospective that brings both his work and photography in general, with its layered contemporary meanings, into a new dimension, allowing viewers to explore captivating images in their own way. Immerse yourself in a groundbreaking exhibition in the Fenimore Art Museum, preserved in this art-quality volume, either after visiting the exhibit in person or as a completely standalone experience. To quote Marc Hom himself: it is “the beauty of the unexpected” that awaits you in this book.
Re-Framed is a work of art in its own right, thanks to the excellent reproduction of Hom’s iconic portraits of Samuel L. Jackson, Rafael Nadal, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus, among other legendary personalities. It also makes an unforgettable impression with its unique cover design and interior layout that exudes its own special style, just like the exhibit itself.
Steve McCurry. Animals
Animal Magnetism
Steve McCurry turns his lens on creatures around the world
In Animals, we discover a different side to the famed photographer who skillfully explores animals’ complex relationship with humans and the environment.
Tenderness abounds, particularly in scenes of unkempt street dogs sleeping contentedly next to a human. But there’s also a kind of essential solitude, with animals belonging to no one and simply wandering through life with only their survival instincts to guide them. We witness camels caught in the crossfire during the first Gulf War; a shepherd from Northern Pakistan tenderly feeding his goats; Beverly Hills designer dogs; race horses on a Hong Kong rooftop; an elephant in Thailand, and more images selected by McCurry from his vast archives.
Through McCurry’s lens, we discover an appreciation for each creature’s beauty and silent dignity. This kaleidoscopic collection is at once a beautiful travelogue and a touching tribute to the creatures who share our planet.
Harry Benson. The Beatles
In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of London’s Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles’ trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Benson’s name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles.
In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the band—Benson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrison’s honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Day’s Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.”
This pocket-sized edition brings back the best of Benson’s luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio. Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history.
A Book of Days
A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith's singular aesthetic - inspired by her wildly popular Instagram
In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith's world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she's reading, the graves of beloved heroes - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith's unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother's keychain, and a husband's Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are never-before-seen photos of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.
With 365 photographs, taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful - and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process - A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist's life.
Paratexty fotografie
V duchu edice Rozhraní věnují kapitoly této knihy pozornost tomu, co fotografie doprovází, sousedí s nimi a obklopuje je, co je k nim přidáváno nebo naopak k čemu jsou ony přidávány. Figuru paratextu si vypůjčujeme z literární vědy pro označení této transtextuální či transmediální hraniční oblasti, aniž bychom se omezovali výlučně na vztahy obrazu a textu, jako spíše vyznačili možné způsoby, jimiž jsou fotografie ukotveny ve světě. Studie se věnují „příslušenství“ fotografie ve smyslu autorských komentářů, kritických a teoretických pojednání či marketingové komunikace; memům, metadatům a formám navigace ve fotografickém univerzu prostřednictvím jejich třídění a označování na sociálních sítích; vedle paratextů fotografie ale i fotografii jako paratextu ve formě screenshotu a virtuální fotografie či filmové fotosky.
Elliott Erwitt’s New York
There are many coffee table books dedicated to New York, but certainly none like this one. With New York, the photography legend Elliott Erwitt pays a monochromatic tribute to his hometown metropolis, creating a photo book that can unquestionably be classified as a work with historical significance. The native Parisian immigrated to the USA in 1939 and settled in the Big Apple in 1948. Since then, the camera has been his constant companion as he wandered through the streets of the global city.
In this revised edition, Erwitt presents compelling black and white photographs spanning his entire career. On 16 new pages, readers are given a first-time glimpse into previously unreleased images from the 1950s and 60s, allowing them to immerse themselves in a New York of days long past. A touch of nostalgia is guaranteed.
The photo book perfectly reflects New York and its soul. Celebrities stand alongside everyday New Yorkers, everyday moments shape contemporary history in a cheerful and sometimes slightly quirky manner, characteristic of Erwitt's work. It's no wonder he is considered one of the best street photographers in the world. His images are not only vivid and authentic, but are also characterised by a special irony derived from the everyday situations they originate from. This photo book is enjoyable to look at time and time again, always offering fresh surprises.
New York is the perfect book for those who can't get enough of this impressive megacity. Even die-hard fans of the metropolis will discover previously undiscovered facets of the city here. For all admirers of Elliott Erwitt's photographic art, this photo book is a must-have for their home collection.

Wild Treasures

In this book, Hannah shares her incredible stories, beautiful photographs, and often funny meetings with Cornwall's wildlife through the course of a year.

Hawaii
Hawai'i is a place of extremes, one of the most bio-diverse and pristine regions on earth. But it is also the land of hula and surfing. Over many years, the well-known German photographer Olaf Heine travelled and documented the wonderful world of Hawaii, creating an impressive photographic oeuvre in the process. Sometimes lively and energetic, sometimes melancholic and sensual, but always monochromatic, he succeeds in capturing the intoxicating attitude to life in connection with the decisive forces of this place.
The ocean is omnipresent and the secret architect of Hawaii. Hawaii is about the elemental as well as the spiritual significance of the sea. The lively, constantly changing, restless waves of the Pacific determine the rhythm of the eight islands of Hawaii and their inhabitants. They fuel life here and define the people - whether fishermen, surfers or tourists.
Heine describes the interaction between man and nature and the power and values that arise from it in timelessly beautiful photographs. The cracks of our time and the extent of human activity are shown here with the same force as sensuality, diversity and wild unspoiled nature. In Hawaii, we begin to understand what creation means.
A captivating illustrated book that reveals and brings closer the opulent beauty of the country, the dreamlike culture and the individuality of the people - whether surf legend Laird Hamilton, musician Jack Johnson or writer Kawaii Strong Washburn. A coffee-table book for anyone who has always wanted to get an authentic and direct insight into what really makes this corner of the world special.
With forewords by Pulitzer Prize winner William Finnegan and Hawaiian author Kristiana Kahakauwila.
Text in English and German.
Flora Photographica
Vivid, bold, spectacular and unexpected: a definitive overview of one of contemporary photography's most innovative fields, showcasing flower imagery by more than 120 of the world's leading practitioners.
There has never been a period in photography's long history - no school, no movement - when flowers have not been a central focus, whether in the form of the classic still life, the botanical study, incorporated into portraiture and studies of the human body, documented in street photography, or used subversively in surrealist collage and montage.
Today, flower photography remains in full bloom, with photographers the world over depicting flowers and floral motifs in novel ways. Featuring works by more than 120 photographers, Flora Photographica links the very best of flower photography from the past thirty years with its predecessors - canonical floral studies from the realms of photography, botanical illustration, drawing and painting that have marked the collective imagination for centuries, if not millennia.
Works by contemporary photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Vik Muniz, Valérie Belin, Viviane Sassen, and Martin Schoeller appear across nine thematic chapters, complemented by two in-depth essays by curators William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud exploring the relationship between contemporary works and the rich traditions of floral art and photography.

Why We Photograph Animals
A compelling visual anthology of one of photography’s most popular subjects, reframing our understanding of why we photograph animals and why photographing them matters to us and the planet.
A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we have looked at?and used?animals and to consider our future relationships with nonhuman species.
Multistranded, this book features the work of more than one hundred photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary photographers that explore their influences, methods, and motivations; and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal photography from its inception to the present day.
The result is a book that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the planet. Huw Lewis-Jones’s expert authorship and curation celebrates extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to understand why people have photographed animals at different points in history and what it means in the present.
Why We Photograph Animals is deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It’s an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand, and appreciate them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect them.

Underground / Human Portrait
For several years Rudo Prekop has been photographing studio portraits of personalities who have contributed significantly to the qualitative shift in our society in terms of culture, society, mentality, morality and humanity in general. Along with the book, a travelling exhibition of large-format photographs is being prepared.
Generational confrontation in the line "upwards" – the parents of the portrayed, as well as in the line "downwards" – their daughters, sons, and eventually partners. The central figure is always a personality from the world of unofficial cultural and social sphere, or underground. A family mosaic of the gene pool. Typology of humanly exceptional individuals.
The key to the selection of actors is my subjective feeling of respect towards the portrayed. Their "immortalization" is my personal tribute to these people. In this way, I want to create a diverse portfolio of personalities of our day and age who have shaped and are shaping the face of the socially independent scene.
