A Ranch Year: Cowboys of the West
“A Ranch Year-Cowboys of the West” is not just a book of photographs - it is an emotional journey through rugged Wyoming, visually documented by French photographer Isabelle Arnon.

Her impressive images tell more than just isolated stories - they reveal the deep connection between people, animals and nature that the photographer encountered there. Through her years of experience, Isabelle Arnon was able to capture moments that take the viewer right into the heart of the American West, touchingly real and yet cool at the same time.
“A Ranch Year-Cowboys of the West” is a tribute to a unique culture deeply rooted in the traditions of the Wild West and provides an intimate insight into life on a ranch - far removed from clichés, but always genuine and fascinating. An illustrated book that is indispensable for photography and nature lovers alike.

Paris: A Love Story 1945-1952
After several years photographing New York City-socializing with Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Berenice Abbott and Minor White-American photographer Todd Webb moved to Paris in the late '40s and made his first negatives with an 8×10 camera. He quickly found himself having the time of his life-mingling with other artists such as Gordon Parks, Man Ray and Brassai. In his journal, Webb often worried about money and whether he could make it in Paris, but he persevered.
Paris: A Love Story 1948-1952 includes never-before-published excerpts from Webb's journal and showcases 70 black and white photographs that Webb shot from 1949 to 1952 as he, in part inspired by the work of Eug?ne Atget, took to the streets to make a personal, beautiful and lasting record of postwar Paris.
Aviary
A thought-provoking overview of contemporary bird photography, featuring the work of more than 50 internationally recognized photographers in an enthralling odyssey that both captures the splendour of birds and highlights the complex relationship between humans and animals
Photographs of birds feature rarely in the early decades of photography: birds were too fast to be captured in flight, and could not be depicted in colour, issues that took many years to rectify. Today, however, with superb technical means at their disposal, photographers have taken to the subject with great enthusiasm, inspired by our ever-increasing understanding and appreciation of avian complexity.
Aviary features the work of more than fifty internationally recognized photographers who explore our relationship with birds, questioning how we observe them and respond to their presence - and vice versa. Taking an eclectic curatorial approach, Danaé Panchaud and William A. Ewing weave together photography from the diverse fields of art, documentary, fashion, portraiture, ornithology and wildlife photography, proposing intriguing new dialogues and visual theatre between these different modes of photographic expression. Rather than being organized by field of study or species, Aviary surveys the symbiotic relationship between animals and humans through six thematic chapters imagined as 'acts' in a theatrical pageant.
Both a visual celebration of the wonders of nature and a stark reminder of its fragility, Aviary presents a compelling portrait of our relationship with birds through the work of contemporary photographers such as Leila Jeffreys, Sarah Moon, Roger Ballen, Charles Fréger, Vik Muniz, Tim Flach, Viviane Sassen, Robert Clark and Nadav Kander, among many others.

Yves Saint Laurent and Photography shines new light on the world of the genius couturier, tracing both the course of fashion and the history of 20th-century photography. This beautifully designed book features an astonishing range of imagery: breathtaking fashion photographs of subjects such as Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss; portraits of Saint Laurent; and never-before-seen archival documents, all packaged in a luxe oversized volume.

Gemini and Mercury Remastered
Embark on a captivating photographic journey beyond Earth, from the dawn of human space exploration, through the untold story of the Mercury and Gemini missions
'Wickedly exciting' Tom Hanks
'Experience the same incredible awe as we astronauts did on those very first voyages into space' Jim Lovell, Gemini 7 & 12, Apollo 8 & 13
'An unprecedented trip back in time… a vibrant, new, living record' Gene Kranz, Flight Director Mercury, Gemini, Apollo
When we think of the history of space exploration, we can't help but think of the Apollo missions and Neil Armstrong's one giant leap. But what about the small steps that enabled NASA to reach for the Moon?
Astronauts working on the earliest space missions, from Project Mercury to the Gemini missions of the mid-1960s, answered fundamental questions about the possibilities of long-duration space travel, paving the way for the Apollo missions and, ultimately, the Moon landings. They also took the first, and still some of the finest, images of Earth ever captured on film.
Now, the bestselling author of Apollo Remastered, Andy Saunders has restored images from these first missions to show them in unprecedented detail and tell their full story, filled with dramatic life or death moments, mischievous pranks and astonishing triumphs. This stunning visual odyssey brings to life the pivotal, intimate moments of early space travel, unveiling the raw beauty and profound challenges faced by the pioneering astronauts pushing the boundaries of human achievement. Gemini and Mercury Remastered is a striking tribute to the visionaries who dared to dream beyond our world and a testament to the enduring power of exploration.
Moriyama: Quartet
An anthology of the four seminal photobooks that form the foundation of Daido Moriyama's photographic career: Japan, A Photo Theater, A Hunter, Farewell Photography and Light and Shadow.
Once regarded as the most challenging and radical of the photographers to emerge from Japan in the post-war period, Daido Moriyama is now accepted as an international figure. His stream of publications, most notably his ongoing magazine Record, have enabled his original vision, born out of the backstreets of Tokyo, to be cast worldwide.
In this anthology, renowned author, curator and editor Mark Holborn presents the four books that underpin Moriyama's artistic journey, with the photobook at the very core of his creative practice. The featured photobooks - Japan, A Photo Theater, A Hunter, Farewell Photography and Light and Shadow - span the fifteen years during which Moriyama honed his techniques and unveiled his distinctive vision and stand as exemplars of some of the most daring photographic publishing ventures in the history of the medium. Rooted in the complexities of Japan during a transformative era from 1968 to the early 1980s, they offer profound insights into the country's evolving landscape.
Harmonizing seamlessly with Moriyama's own aesthetic sensibilities, the book's design includes excerpts from Moriyama's diaries, journals and memoranda, providing intimate glimpses into his creative process. As with all Moriyama publications, this photobook is eagerly anticipated by a devoted following, reflecting the enduring importance of his work.
Trucks and Tuks
A colourful photography book on this visually stunning vernacular artform, the images painted onto these trucks and tuks are a phenomenon, giving a unique insight into the rich cultural traditions of the Indian subcontinent.
White stallions and exotic birds frolic around a waterfall, glamorous Bollywood stars sing, a sunset-silhouetted couple bathe in the ocean - such are the images that adorn the trucks and tuks of the Indian subcontinent. These utilitarian vehicles provide a fertile canvas for the vernacular artists whose colour-saturated creativity covers every spare surface.
Over four years, photographer Christopher Herwig (author of the Soviet Bus Stops series and Soviet Metro Stations) travelled 10,000 kilometres in his quest to record this overlooked artform. He has documented the characteristics of each region - from Pakistan in the north, where intricately painted trucks often have a curved wooden peak at the front, symbolizing a princess' tiara; to Sri Lanka in the south, where tuk tuks might equally be painted with holy deities or the Joker from Batman.
The designs reflect a driver's identity, faith and aspirations and span a bewildering range of themes: ideals of masculinity might be intertwined with expressions of love and longing, while bold typography urges drivers to blow their horns or promotes a campaign for the education of girls.
Sadly, as a result of government directives, alongside the proliferation of cheap, mass-produced decorations, this vibrant cultural expression is in decline, making this project all the more vital.
Viktor Kolář. Ostrava 1963-2024
"Vím, co nejsem: rozhodně nejsem dokumentarista," vymezil se fotograf Viktor Kolář v jednom z rozhovorů proti tomu, aby byla jeho tvorba zařazována do žánru, který ho nezajímá. A svoje stanovisko prokazuje i v nové knize fotografií, kterou pro nakladatelství KANT uspořádal po úspěchu dnes už těžko dostupných knih Ostrava (2010) a Canada 1968-1973 (2013). Kolářovy snímky sice neobyčejně výmluvně vypovídají o určitém místě a jeho dobových proměnách, ale dělají to spíše mimochodem. Ve skutečnosti se zaměřují na okamžiky náhlých a jedinečných, někdy až nepravděpodobných "setkání" - v tom smyslu, jak tento výraz prosazovali surrealisté. Na výtvarně působivých černobílých fotografiích nechybí nic z neodmyslitelných rysů hornické a průmyslové Ostravy, ale výsledný portrét města je imaginární, ne realisticky popisný. Proto se v doprovodných esejích Manuela Anceau, Jana Balabána, Martina Dostála a Jaromíra Typlta o Viktoru Kolářovi uvažuje ne jen jako o fotografovi, ale jako také jako o básníkovi, který místo slov používá obrazy.
"I know what I'm not: definitely I'm not a documentarist” is how photographer Viktor Kolář defended himself in one interview from having his work assigned to a genre in which he took no interest. And this same stance is revealed again in the new book of photographs that he prepared for KANT Publishers following the success of his now hard-to-find volumes Ostrava (2010) and Canada 1968-1973 (2013). Kolář's shots may speak with unusual eloquence about a specific place and its changes over time, yet they do so only indirectly. In reality, they concentrate on those moments of sudden and unique, sometimes even improbable "encounters” - precisely in the sense that this word was used by the Surrealists. These aesthetically powerful black-and-white photographs miss nothing of the indelible characteristics of Ostrava, a city of mining and industry, yet the resulting portrait of the city is imaginary, not a realistic description. As such, in the accompanying essays by Manuel Anceau, Jan Balabán, Martin Dostál and Jaromír Typlt, Viktor Kolář is discussed not only as a photographer but equally as a poet, using images in place of words.
Firecrackers
A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.
Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of individual stories and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.
Bruce Weber. My Education
Reflections on a Big Life in Photography
A Deep Dive into Bruce Weber’s Photographic Journey
My Education provides a revealing look into the life, work and creative journey of one of our era’s preeminent image-makers, Bruce Weber. Featuring over 500 photographs, including a collection of his most iconic images as well as previously unpublished and lesser-known photographs, the volume provides a profound exploration of his oeuvre.
Rather than following a simple chronological order, it is organized thematically, reflecting how key ideas like family, creativity, physicality, humanism, sexuality, and expression have fueled Weber’s lifelong curiosity. This approach offers an unparalleled view of his photographic evolution.
The book showcases the fashion photography and portraiture Weber is renowned for, unforgettable images for major fashion magazines, including Vogue, GQ, W Magazine, and Vanity Fair. It also highlights rare editorial selections and previously unseen reportage photographs. Beyond the realm of fashion, Weber has immortalized some of the most influential cultural and political figures of our time. From Anselm Kiefer to Kim Kardashian, Louise Bourgeois to Leonardo DiCaprio—Weber’s unique ability to capture the essence of each subject, whether in intimate portraits or dynamic editorial shots, has made him one of the most revered image-makers of his generation.
This volume is more than just a visual journey—it’s a personal tribute to the spirit of collaboration, mutual inspiration, and the pursuit of creative expression. Punctuated by a collection of personal narratives and texts by Charles Bukowski, Rupert Brooke, John Steinbeck and many others, this volume celebrates the teachers, friends, collaborators and influences that shaped Bruce Weber’s singularly impactful approach to photography and filmmaking. In deeply personal anecdotes about close collaborators like Grace Coddington, Dennis Freedman or Stella Tennant, Weber reminisces about bonds that go deeper than mere professional collaboration.
