Saul Leiter - Photofile
Saul Leiter was one of those photographers who sought neither fame nor commercial success, despite his talent for imagemaking.
Born in Pittsburgh, he spent his entire adult life in New York City's East Village, in an intensely creative environment where ideas from Europe and America came together and intermingled. There he encountered Rothko and the Abstract Expressionists, and discovered street photography and the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson. His mastery of colour is displayed in unconventional cityscapes in which reflections, transparency, complex framing and mirroring effects are married to a very personal printing style, creating a unique kind of urban view.
Workers. An Archaeology of the Industrial Age
Sebastiao Salgado's photo book classic Workers. An Archaeology of the Industrial Age (first published in 1993) pays tribute to the time-honored tradition of manual labor in the new millennium when machines and computers replace human workers throughout the globe. With images of striking beauty and integrity, Salgado composes a visual elegy for the working men and women, whose indomitable spirit has prevailed over the harshest of conditions to achieve a singular grace.
More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastiao Salgado's images of the world's poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as "militant photography", dedicated to "the best comprehension of human being"; over the decades he has bestowed great dignity on the most isolated and neglected among us - from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America.
With Workers, Salgado brings us a global epic that transcends mere image making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working men and women. In this volume, three hundred fifty duotone photographs form an archaeological perspective of the activities that have defined hard work from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. With images of the infernal landscape of an Indonesian sulfur mine, the drama of traditional Sicilian tuna fishing, and the staggering endurance of Brazilian gold miners, Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization.
Workers presents its subject on several interactive levels: Salgado's introductory text, written in collaboration with Brazilian author Eric Nepomuceno, expands his passionate photographic iconography; extended captions, also written by Salgado, provide a historical and factual framework. Honoring the timeless and indomitable spirit of the manual laborer, Workers renders the human condition with honesty and respect.

Ruth Orkin: Women
Whether candid or posed, in black and white or color, Orkin’s photographs of women reveal her consistently sympathetic eye
In 1951, her photograph American Girl in Italy?depicting a young woman on a street flanked by whistling men?made Ruth Orkin (1921–85) a household name. Now, a new facet of her work emerges through sensational never-before-seen negatives and slides. Women illustrates Orkin’s devoted, humorous, witty and sensitive documentation of women’s life in the 1940s and 1950s. She records the illustrious goings-on in beauty salons and at cocktail parties, at dog shows and on Hollywood sets. We meet Lauren Bacall, Jane Russell, Joan Taylor and Doris Day, but also waitresses, stewardesses, female soldiers and best friends. Whether gazing directly into the camera, looking away from it or even laughing at something outside of the frame, Orkin’s snapshots of women reflect their increased career mobility, consumer power and social influence in the postwar era.
Depeche Mode
In November 2020, Depeche Mode were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Dave Gahan, accepting the honour, said: "I'd like to thank Anton Corbijn who thank God came in at the right time and actually made us look cool." Also in the fall of 2020, TASCHEN released the limited edition Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) signed by Depeche Mode and Anton Corbijn, and it became one of the fastest selling collector's editions in the publishing company's history. This pocket-sized and wallet-friendly edition is a testament to Corbijn's unique vision, and indeed "cool" as Gahan acknowledged so movingly in his speech; an illustrated history of how Corbijn, who became in 1986 the band's de facto creative director, and helped cement Depeche Mode's reputation as the biggest cult band in the world.Featuring over 150 photographs from Corbijn's extensive archives, including formal and informal portraits from places such as Madrid, Hamburg, the California desert, Prague and Marrakech; a multitude of off-the-cuff, candid images; and stunning live shots from all their tours since 1988 right up to 2023. Created with the full collaboration of the band, who share some insights on working with Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn trumpets how one man's original aesthetic, that has encompassed all of their photography, most of their music videos, album graphics and set designs, helped shape the band's enduring popularity. Reflecting on his role in Depeche Mode, Corbijn recalls in the book's introduction: "A lot of it came down to me, and I wanted it to be right for them. I wanted to think for them. To be great for them." This book is a tribute to the depth and breadth of that greatness, a celebration of one of the most creative and enduring collaborations in rock history.

Album 1958–1977
Nakladatelství Torst vydává jako svou 700. publikaci fotografickou knihu Bohdana Holomíčka Album 1958–1977, která přináší na 176 stranách 238 snímků z prvního dvacetiletí jeho tvorby. Jedná se o druhou z řady knih s jednotícím názvem Album, která mapuje jeho fotografické dílo. První z nich, Album Václav, vyšla v roce 2016 a zachycuje Václava Havla od roku 1974 až do smrti v kruhu nejbližších přátel, se spisovateli, divadelníky, s manželkou Olgou, ale i s českými a světovými politiky. Fotografie Bohdana Holomíčka jsou již po více než šedesát let intimní kronikou životů mnoha lidí, které potkal. Vyprávějí o tom, že každý člověk je jedinečný a že lidský život má smysl. Jeho snímky přinášejí do života lidí radost, touhu prožívat každý okamžik naplno, vidět krásu a inspiraci ve všední každodennosti. O tom svědčí i jeho strhující osobnost. Teoretička umění Hana Buddeus ho jednou oprávněně nazvala „apoštolem lásky“. Historička fotografie Anna Fárová ho charakterizovala jako „fotografa přátelských setkání, zachycujícího pozitivní situace, okamžiky milosti, záblesky lásky za magického přispění světla“. Historik fotografie Antonín Dufek napsal, že „jeho fotografie jsou často přirovnávány k deníku, ale jak čas běží, stále víc se ukazuje, že je to spíš památník a kronika. Památník vzniká v komunikaci s ostatními a slouží také jejich paměti. V Holomíčkově případě jde o autobiografii, která se však stává i generační výpovědí; jeho snímky jsou sice subjektivní, mají ale obecnou platnost a reflektují vzpomínky celé společnosti.“

Casa Susanna
Brings together a wealth of research and an expansive selection of photographs to create an enduring account of America’s first-known trans network, Casa Susanna.
In the 1950s and '60s, an underground network of transgender women, gender nonconforming people, and men who dressed as women found refuge at a modest house in the Catskills, New York. Known as Casa Susanna, the house provided a safe place to express their true selves and live for a few days as they had always dreamed?dressed as and living as women without fear of being incarcerated or institutionalized for their self-expression.
Casa Susanna opens up that now-lost world. The photographs?mostly discovered by chance in a New York flea market in 2004?chronicle the experiences of these women in states of relaxation, experimentation, connection, and joy. All of this was made possible by Susanna Valenti who?on her own journey toward womanhood?created Casa Susanna, a protected space where others could do the same. Supplementing the images, excerpts from the magazine Transvestia record a different kind of space where those who had been outcast by a rigidly binary society could connect.
The people who came to Casa Susanna found a space where they could explore and celebrate their own and each other’s femininity, as they could not elsewhere. Their creations are also a reminder that there were, and still are, many ways to explore the boundaries of gender.

Ruth Orkin - Photofile
Ruth Orkin (1921–85) always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker, and although that ambition was thwarted until later in her career, she quickly found other ways of engaging with the world of images. She was given her first camera at the age of ten and by the age of seventeen, she was cycling across America from Los Angeles to New York, documenting her trip in albums of annotated photographs. In the early 1940s she settled in New York, joining the Photo League and making her name with photo stories for major magazines such as Life, Look and This Week.
In images that range from celebrity portraits to bird’s-eye views from her apartment window, from children at play to the experiences of a lone American tourist in Italy, Orkin’s photography always retains a cinematic sense of the passage of time and allows the humanity and charisma of her subjects to shine through.
Andy Warhol - Polaroids 1958-1987
Andy Warhol was a relentless chronicler of life and its encounters. Carrying a Polaroid camera from the late 1950s until his death in 1987, he amassed a huge collection of instant pictures of friends, lovers, patrons, the famous, the obscure, the scenic, the fashionable, and himself. Created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, this book features more than hundred of these instant photos.
Portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Yves Saint Laurent, Pelé, Debbie Harry are included alongside images of Warhol's entourage and high life, landscapes, and still lifes. Often raw and impromptu, the Polaroids document Warhol's era like Instagram captures our own, offering a unique record of the life, world, and vision behind the Pop Art maestro and modernist giant.

Fényben-árnyékban
Az egész úgy kezdődött, hogy a Jóisten gépet adott a kezembe, amikor egy izgalmas emberrel találkoztam. A gép soha nem érdekelt. Az ember igen. Csak megnyomtam a gombot, s már filmen volt az élmény. Ez tetszett nagyon. Később kiderült, hogy túl hosszú "záridőt" állítottam be - lassan ötven éve exponálok. A gép közben átvette fölöttem a hatalmat. Élményekkel kellett etetnem folyamatosan. Csak akkor maradt nyugton, ha elvittem északra és elvittem délre. Ha bevittem fényes palotákba és füstös konyhákba. Ha táncoltunk részeg zenészekkel, sírtunk kopott költőkkel, és nagy formátumú színészekkel szidtuk hajnalig a világot. Fetrengtünk a művészet fennkölt mocsarában, hittünk magunkban és egymásban, s nem engedtük közel magunkhoz mások gondolatait.
De megváltoztak a nappalok és megváltoztak az éjszakák. A világ nagy robajjal átvonult felettünk. Mindannyian meghemperegtünk kicsit a sárban, aztán lassan felálltunk és továbbléptünk. Ha mocsár volt, hát mocsár volt. Mégis igazgyöngyök lapultak már a zsebeimben. Szolgáltam tovább a gépemet.
Egyszer azonban addig ismeretlen világra villantott. Hogy az ajtó magától nyílt ki, vagy kinyitották nekem, már nem tudom, de kiderült, hogy ezer kilométerre az otthonomtól is beszélik azt a nyelvet, amelyen nap mint nap álmodom. Pedig Apám szülői házában ritka volt a magyar szó. Svábul beszéltek - ha vendég jött, németül. De most Anyám nyelvéről beszélek. Az édes anyanyelvemről. Kopott költőim, regényes napjaim, székely és csángó barátaim, emigrációban élő íróink nyelvéről. Különös sorsok, ízes történetek csalogattak városról városra. Felpörgetett, színes napok vártak rám. Sokkal több füstös konyha, mint fényes palota.
Végül felfedeztem újra a hitemet. Ráébredtem, hogy az ember nemcsak azért jár templomba, hogy Istennel beszélgessen, hanem azért is, hogy önmagával.
Man Ray
Rays of Light
Man Ray, multitalented master of modernist imagery
Man Ray (1890–1976) was a polymath modernist, working in painting, sculpture, film, printmaking, and poetry. But it was his work in photography, with nude studies, fashion work, and portraiture that saw him pioneering a new chapter in the history of camerawork and art.
With a wide-ranging collection of both his famous and lesser-known works, this monograph gives a vivid overview of Man Ray’s multifaceted practice and photographic legacy. It traces Ray from his artistic beginnings in New York through to his central role in the Parisian avant-garde, where he featured in the first Surrealist exhibition with Jean Arp, Max Ernst, André Masson, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso and produced such now iconic works as Noire et blanche and Le Violon d’Ingres. Through numerous examples of still life, portraiture, and beyond, we see how Ray constantly experimented with new techniques, pushing photography out of its documentary domain into ethereal, poetic expressions through multiple exposure, solarization, and the particular brand of photograms he wittily termed “rayography.”
Budapesti beszélgetés
A Budapesten született fotográfus, Robert Capa 1948 őszén készített riportot szülőföldjéről egy amerikai magazin számára. A szovjetizálódó Magyarország fotókkal gazdagon illusztrált bemutatását a fordító, Fisli Éva utószava és jegyzetei segítenek elhelyezni a korban.
Capa riportjában izgalmasan keverednek az otthonosság és az idegenség, a szórakoztató stílus és a tragikus történelmi események egymásnak ellentmondó rétegei: "Vidám utunk volt. Csaba mindent tudott a földről, Rózsa bácsi minden tudott az útszéli vendéglőkről, ahol jó bort és fűszeres kolbászt adtak. Útközben Teddy White okos kérdéseket tett föl a termés minőségéről, az ifjú Csaba egy stencilezett pamfletet olvasott a kapitalizmus hanyatlásáról és bukásáról, Rózsa bácsi pedig pajzán dalokat énekelt, és két nóta közt olykor kulákellenes beszédeket rögtönzött. Én fordítottam."
Pešiak v šachovnici Bratislavy
fotografie z rokov 2017 - 2023
Všedný bratislavský deň. Fasády, ulice, dvory, námestia, autá, električky, vône a zvuky.
A v tom všetkom sa pohybuje všedný Bratislavčan.
Nábrežie, Šafárikovo námestie, Staromestská ulica a ďalších šesť destinácií mapuje priestor, ktorý autor pozná už od detstva. Ich neustále premeny citlivo prežíva a zachytáva v čiernobielej fotografii.
V knihe „PEŠIAK v šachovnici Bratislavy“ prostredníctvom 114-tich fotografií nastavuje zrkadlo súčasnej bratislavskej realite. Fotografie pravdivo zobrazujú skutočnosť, niekedy nelichotivo so smútkom, niekedy s obdivom, ale vždy s láskou a úctou.
Gótikus templomok a történelmi Magyarországon
A gótika a középkori kultúra virágzásának kora volt, amely során lélegzetelállító építészeti alkotások készültek Európa-szerte, és természetesen Magyarországon is. A magyar történelem hagyatékát fényképezőgépével hosszú évtizedek óta megörökítő Kaiser Ottó fotográfus új albumában a történelmi Magyarország területén fellelhető gótikus remekműveket mutatja be. A kecses, égbe törő építményeken és az ezeket ékesítő szobrokon és festményeken keresztül feltárul előttünk a középkori Magyarország fénykora, Nagy Lajos, Zsigmond és Mátyás király uralkodása. Bár a török megszállás évtizedei és a történelem más viharai alaposan megtépázták a gótika örökségét, Kaiser Ottó fotói ékesen tanúsítják a gótikus építményköltemények időtlen szépségét.
Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Colour
Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color traces the experiments in color and black-and-white photography of the young Meyerowitz, a pioneer in the history of color photography.
An early advocate of color photography, Joel Meyerowitz has impacted and influenced generations of artists. For fifty-eight years, the master photographer has documented the United States’ ever-changing social landscape.
During the late 1960s, Meyerowitz carried two cameras: one loaded with monochrome stock, the other with color. Just how, when, and why American fine art photographers switched from black-and-white image-making, prized within the gallery system, to color photography, once seen as the preserve of tourist photography, has been the cause of much debate.
In Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color, Meyerowitz tells the story of his early days as a photographer when he was told that serious photographers took black-and-white pictures. "But why," he asked, "when the world is in color?" He then bought a color camera and various rolls of film and began to experiment with color techniques: a passion he continues to pursue.
