Peter Lindbergh's Images of Women is now available in this new unabridged compact edition. Lindbergh, who passed away in 2019, took a comprehensive look at his body of work from the 1980s and '90s and hand selected these black-and-white photographs of the most beautiful and famous women in the world. It was the era of the supermodels, a phenomenon he himself had helped create, and he left his own unique stamp upon it, influencing an entire generation of fashion photographers with his distinct style. Lindbergh was always interested in the aura, individuality, and personality of his models which resulted in images that captured an ideal of beauty more than just perfection and glamour. This splendid monograph represents the definitive collection of Lindbergh's considerable oeuvre: classic fashion photographs, arresting candids, portraits of female celebrities--including Madonna, Isabella Rossellini, Sharon Stone, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Daryl Hannah--and of course his signature shots of the world's supermodels.

Rich in art and history, characterized by a Mediterranean climate and breathtaking landscapes--probably no other region in Italy embodies the Dolce Vita as much as Tuscany. This book shows the most beautiful places, the most important sights and provides interesting background information.

Modern megacities, breathtaking natural backdrops and a varied cultural landscape with a long tradition - China captivates with its contrasts and unbelievable diversity. The most populous country in the world can be seen here in over 500 impressive photographs.

Queensland is a vast land of diverse and unrelenting beauty: from the rainforest-covered mountains, unique islands such as the Whitsunday Islands and Fraser Island to the undeveloped deserts of the outback. And of course the largest contiguous coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef. In more than 340 photographs the fascination of this unique area is clearly presented.

Guatemala is considered the land of eternal spring. Tropical rain forests, mountainous highlands, bubbling volcanoes, black lava sand beaches, fresh fruits and strange smells--this illustrated book shows the fascinatingly colorful facets of the country and gives insights into another world.

70 years of DIOR history set against the bustle of Times Square: this was Peter Lindbergh’s concept, extraordinary both in scope and dimension, for which the House allowed an unprecedented number of its most iconic garments to travel across the Atlantic. In this two-volume compendium, the legendary photographer’s final book project, discover the shoot in never-before-published images, as well as a tribute to an electrifying partnership between two pillars of fashion. Peter Lindbergh photographed DIOR’s most exceptional muses, Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron among them, and signed campaigns for Lady Dior and J'Adore with his inimitable style. Throughout his career, the photographer was one of the house’s closest collaborators. This final book was an original cocreation that was close to the artist’s heart—and to ours. Seventy years of DIOR history projected against the effervescence of Times Square, New York: this was the concept behind Lindbergh’s project, extraordinary both in scope and dimension, for which DIOR, in an unusual move, allowed an unprecedented number of priceless garments to be taken from its vaults in Paris and shipped across the Atlantic. The result is electric. Amid the frenzy of Times Square, Alek Wek glows in the immaculate 1947 Bar suit, the storied ensemble that launched the House of DIOR. In snatches of street scenes, models Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson, and Amber Valletta flit through crowds and scaffolding, are reflected in building façades, and draped in haute couture, from pieces hand-sewn by Christian Dior to more recent designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Lindbergh’s trademark monochrome and color photographs masterfully highlight the intricacies, silhouettes, and textures of each garment. Lindbergh himself is present in every aspect of this two-volume publication designed by his long-time collaborator and friend Juan Gatti. Volume one features 165 never-before-published images from the shoot, including an introduction by Martin Harrison. Volume two pays homage to Lindbergh’s profound relationship with the Parisian House by curating more than 100 of his photographs of DIOR creations, from haute couture to ready-to-wear, men’s and women’s, originally published in some of the world’s most prestigious magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. A breathtaking tribute to two pillars of fashion and photography and their timeless collaborations. The photographer Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) was a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of photography history, with such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous exhibitions at renowned institutions including Victoria & Albert Museum in London and Centre Pompidou in Paris, as well as in solo exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Bunkamura Museum of Art, Tokyo, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The contributing author Martin Harrison is a historian of art and photography and an exhibition curator. He worked with Linda McCartney on Roadworks (1996), Light from Within (2001), and her exhibitions at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford and the International Center of Photography in New York. He has published widely on photography and, most recently, on the paintings of Francis Bacon.

Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world. The most successful images enter our collective consciousness, defining eras, making history, or simply touching something so fundamentally human and universal that they have become resonant icons all over the globe. To explore this unique influence, Photo Icons puts some of the most important photographic landmarks under the microscope. From some of the earliest photography, such as Nicephore Niepce's 1827 eight-hour-exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre's famous 1838 street scene, through to Martin Parr, this is as much a history of the medium as a case-by-case analysis of its social, historical, and artistic impact. We take in experimental Surrealist shots of the 1920s and the gritty photorealism of the 1930s, including Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother. We witness the power-makers (Che Guevara) and the heartbreakers (Marilyn Monroe) as well as the great gamut of human emotions and experiences to which photography bears such vivid witness: from the euphoric Kiss in Front of City Hall (1950) by Doisneau to the horror of Nick Ut's Napalm Against Civilians showing nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked toward the camera from South Vietnamese napalm.

In December 1948, Henri Cartier-Bresson travelled to China at the request of Life magazine. He stayed for ten months and captured some of the most spectacular moments in China's history: he photographed Beijing in 'the last days of the Kuomintang', and then headed back to Shanghai, where he recorded the new regime's takeover. Moreover, in 1958, Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first Western photographers to go back to China to explore the changes that had occurred over the preceding decade. The 'picture stories' he sent to Magnum and Life on a regular basis played a key role in Westerners' understanding of Chinese political events. Many of these images are among the most significant photographs in Cartier-Bresson's oeuvre; his empathy with the populace and sense of responsibility as a witness making them an important part of his legacy. Henri Cartier-Bresson in China allows these photographs to be re-examined along with all of the documents that were preserved: the photographer's captions and comments, contact sheets and abundant correspondence, as well as the published versions that appeared in both American and European magazines. A welcome addition to any photography lover's bookshelf, this is an exciting new volume on one of the 20th century's most important photographers.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The first published collection of photographs by the icon of street style, bringing together favorites published in The New York Times alongside never-before-seen work across five decades. "A dazzling kaleidoscope from the gaze of an artist who saw beauty at every turn."--André Leon Talley Bill Cunningham's photography captured the evolution of style, of trends, and of the everyday, both in New York City and in Paris. But his work also shows that street style is not only about fashion; it's about the people and the changing culture. These photographs--many never before seen, others having originally appeared in The New York Times and elsewhere--move from decade to decade, beginning in the 1970s and continuing until Cunningham's death in 2016. Here you'll find Cunningham's distinctive chronicling of the 1980s transit strike, the rise of 1990s casual Fridays, the sadness that fell over the city following 9/11, Inauguration Day 2009, the onset of selfies, and many other significant moments. This enduring portfolio is enriched by essays that provide a revealing portrait of Cunningham and a few of his many fascinations and influences, contributed by Cathy Horyn, Tiina Loite, Vanessa Friedman, Ruth La Ferla, Guy Trebay, Penelope Green, Jacob Bernstein, and a much favored subject, Anna Wintour. More than anything, On the Street is a timeless representation of Cunningham's commitment to capturing the here and now. "An absolute delight."--People

Viktor Šelesták (11. 4. 1989 Košice) je predstaviteľom nového druhu fotografie, ktorý sa vyhranil až v tomto storočí. Je to zvláštny typ fotografického dokumentu, ktorého stredobodom nie sú ľudia, ale skôr stopy, ktoré zanechávajú, produkty civilizácie. Vznikajú v rôznych častiach sveta, ale Šelesták na rozdiel od svojich západných kolegov fotografuje väčšinou na „divokom východe“. Zameriava hlavne na súčasnú mestskú krajinu, väčšinou slovenskú, ktorá je doslova presýtená farbami. Realitu vníma ako pestrofarebný patchwork, farebnú záplatu na záplate. Je to veselý, priam radostný, a zároveň bezútešný svet. Napriek tomu sú jeho fotografie pekné, tak ako to majú v názve – #selestakovepeknefotky. Väčšinou síce odrážajú rozladenú realitu, v ktorej sa autor najčastejšie pohybuje, ale ony samy sú zladené, pretože sú presné až exaktné. Všetky zábery sú nafotené smartfónom a postupne boli zverejňované na instagrame. Ako obrazová – fotografická publikácia predstavujú vlastne experiment.

Dieser opulente Landschaftsbildband besticht durch seine wunderschönen Naturfotografien, die Darstellung der Flora und Fauna.

Fotografické album REVOLUCE 89 přináší unikátní pohled na dění v ulicích “sametové revoluce” od 17. Listopadu do prezidentské volby Václava Havla, skrz objektiv Jana Šilpocha. Jeho specializací je reportážní fotografie, která ho provází po celý život. Během sametové revoluce se zápalem fotil vše, co se kolem něj dělo. Tato kniha přináší důmyslně promyšlený souhrn dění této důležité společenské proměny skrz 71 fotografií. Je výsledkem roční práce mezi Janem a jeho synem Markem. Společně probrali kolem 2500 fotografií, které Jan v roce 1989 nafotil. Výběr fotografií v této knize je pohledem na to, jak jsme v ulicích prožívali období nejistoty a vzrušujících změn sametové revoluce, mnohdy se slzami v očích.

Publikácia po prvýkrát predstavuje tvorbu Karola Kállaya v oblasti módnej fotografie. Čitateľa uvedie nielen do pútavého života fotografa, ale oboznámi ho aj s dejinami tohto obľúbeného fotografického žánru doma i vo svete. Karol Kállay začínal v prostredí Československa ako fotograf v časopise Móda-textil. Neskôr nadviazal spoluprácu s nemeckými časopismi Saison a Sibylle a parížskym časopisom Jardin des Modes. Móde sa venoval viac ako tridsať rokov a môžeme ho považovať za zakladateľa módnej fotografie na Slovensku. Vo svojich najlepších snímkach prepájal inscenovanú fotografiu s dokumentárnym prístupom a zúročil tak svoje skúsenosti reportážneho fotografa. Vďaka odvahe, invencii a vytrvalej snahe vyrovnať sa kvalitou ostatným svetovým fotografom sa mu podarilo presadiť sa aj v zahraničí. Historičky umenia Lucia Almášiová a Zuzana Šidlíková približujú domáce aj zahraničné projekty Karola Kállaya, doplnené o spomienky modeliek, s ktorými fotograf spolupracoval. Atraktívny obrazový materiál, ktorý vybral a zostavil Richard Kučera Guzmán, je súčasťou rozsiahleho a do veľkej miery nepublikovaného archívu Karola Kállaya. Publikáciu vydáva kreatívna agentúra RICHIE.. v spolupráci s Vydavateľstvom SLOVART.

Na rozdíl od fotografie, nikdo neví, kdy vzniklo divadlo a kdo je jeho vynálezcem. Na počátku byly zřejmě pravěké rituály a starodávné náboženské obřady. A protože v podstatě každý člověk vědomě či nevědomě a lépe či hůře hraje ve svém životě nějaké divadlo, stalo se divadlo součástí lidské kultury a dnes přitahuje stejně jako kdysi třeba v Antice. Lidé milují divadlo, protože přináší emoce, zkušenosti, inspiruje, dokáže pobavit a stejně tak otevírá prostor k zamyšlení. S fotografií je to zdánlivě mnohem jednodušší. Princip camery obscury zpočátku pomáhal především malířům, ale než se od pouhého přenesení obrazu ten těkavý okamžik konečně podařilo i zvěčnit na papír, uplynula ještě dlouhá staletí. Dnes digitální fenomén, který se stejně jako divadlo, stal zcela přirozenou součástí naší kultury. A díky své téměř absolutní dostupností člověka neustále přitahuje a provokuje. Divadlo i fotografie vyprávějí příběhy. Miroslav Fořt, autor unikátní knihy, se po většinu své profesní kariery věnoval zprostředkování příběhů. Především racionálním úhlem pohledu žurnalisty. V nové knize spojil své dvě velké lásky. Divadlo a fotografii. V obou případech totiž musí člověk vidět a cítit mnohem víc, než mu nabízí jen vlastní oči. Není proto náhodou, že své obrazy fotografiky spojil s názvy nejrůznějších divadelních her. Vždyť svět je přece divadlo, jak kdysi napsal slovutný velký vypravěč příběhů William Shakespeare. Kniha se sedmi desítkami obrazů a s nimi sedmi desítkami vybraných citátů z divadelních her je unikátní i proto, že vychází v omezeném nákladu a bez možnosti dotisku.

Vienna combines drama and elegance like no other. For centuries the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the stately city on the Danube, has been defined by vast palaces and imperial grandeur-but behind the Baroque opulence, Vienna is also a place of genteel coffee house culture, epicurean tradition, and a heritage of both delicate and daring music, art, and design, from Johann Strauss to Egon Schiele, from Gustav Mahler to Josef Hoffmann. This volume is a treasure trove of photography from the last 175 years, following the evolution of Vienna from imperial capital to modern metropolis. Like a visual walk through time and cityscape, hundreds of carefully curated pictures trace the developments in Vienna's built environment and the cultural and historical trends they reflect, whether the urban Gesamtkunstwerk of the 19th-century Ringstrasse or the experiments of "Red Vienna" in the 1920s, when the city had a social democrat government for the first time. Through these remarkable photographs, we discover not only the great landmarks and lesser-known corners of Vienna, but also the ubiquity and the tumult of its history. We see the cultural blossoming of the fin de siecle, when radical innovators such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Adolf Loos, and Sigmund Freud turned Vienna into a "laboratory of modernity"; the clashes of 1934; the ascent of Nazi dictatorship; and the horrors writ by the Holocaust in what was once one of the most populous and multi-ethnic cities on earth. More recently, fascinating postwar photographs explore the Vienna of the Third Man, at once a city in ruins and a hub for spies. The book closes with the most recent pictures, celebrating the emergence of today's Vienna-one of the most attractive cities in Europe, in which rich history once again coexists with international flair and vibrant contemporary culture.

Jan Kubíček patří k nejvýznamnějším představitelům české geometrické abstrakce. V jeho díle hrají nezastupitelnou roli také fotografie, které ale nejsou veřejnosti prozatím tolik známé. Sám umělec své fotografie příliš nevystavoval, důležité místo však měly na pozdějších retrospektivách jeho díla a vzbudily velkou pozornost nejen mezi sběrateli. Publikace je prvním ucelenějším shrnutím Kubíčkovy fotografické tvorby. V osmi cyklech ukazuje šíři jeho fotografické činnosti a dokládá pochopení specifik tohoto média i dlouhodobou lásku k němu.

This monograph on the work of Gideon Lewin, master printer and assistant to Richard Avedon, revealsmoments never told, stories never heard, and a life that only a few ever experienced. It is a story of a close working relationship and collaboration with a master. Avedon: Behind the Scenes, 1964-1980 relates Lewin's personal experiences working with Richard Avedon for 16 years. It is about the hard work, the intrigues, the energy, the mysteries, the humor, and the commitment to creating images that were larger-than-life and will last for generations. This book illuminates many details about preparations for Avedon's major exhibitions, the master classes he was a part of, and many behind-the-scenes stories working on fashion collections in Paris and in New York for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, photographing the world's most famous personalities and most beautiful women: Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Cher, Jean Shrimpton, Veruschka, Twiggy, Rene Russo, Patti Hansen, and Lauren Hutton. Finally, this book opens a window on the lighter side of Richard Avedon, as well as his total dedication to the art of photography in his determination to leave a legacy unlike that of any other photographer. With about 200 photographs Avedon: Behind the Scenes, 1964-1980 is a singular and remarkable journey.
