Kissé elmosódva - Emlékeim a háborúból
Ezekkel a szavakkal ajánlotta könyvét az olvasók figyelmébe 1947-ben a legendás fotóriporter, Robert Capa. Az eredetileg filmforgatókönyvnek készült írás valójában egy szerelmi történet, melyet át- meg átszőnek Capa második világháborús haditudósítói munkájának eseményei - pergő cselekményével, szellemes és humoros párbeszédeivel valóban filmvászonra kívánkozik. De sokat elárul az eleinte írónak készülő, világvándor fotósról is, akiről már életében tudták ismerői: bármily hihetetlen kalandokba keveredjék, bármennyire közel kerüljön is a halálhoz, számára a valóság még mindig nem elég érdekes. Vérbeli mesemondó volt, szellemes társalgó, csak úgy ontotta a remek sztorikat. Imádták őt a nők, hírességek vették körül, mint például nagy szerelme, Ingrid Bergman, vagy a barátai, Steinbeck, Hemingway, John Huston, Billy Wilder és Picasso.
Inside North Korea
Erased by bombing during the Korean War, North Korea’s trophy capital of Pyongyang was entirely rebuilt from scratch from 1953, in line with the vision of the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung. Designed as an imposing stage set, it is a place of grand axial boulevards linking gargantuan monuments, lined with stately piles of distinctly Korean flavor, to be “national in form and socialist in content.”
Under the present leader, Kim Jong Un, construction has ramped up apace—“Let us turn the whole country into a socialist fairyland,” declares one of his official patriotic slogans. He is rapidly transforming Pyongyang into a playground, conjuring a flimsy fantasy of prosperityand using architecture as a powerful anesthetic, numbing the population from the stark reality of his authoritarian regime.
Guardianjournalist and photographer Oliver Wainwrighttakes us on an eye-opening tour behind closed doors in the most secretive country in the world, revealing that past the grand stone façades lie lavish wonder-worlds of marble and mosaic, coffered ceilings, and crystal chandeliers, along with new interiors in dazzling color palettes. Discover the palatial reading rooms of the Grand People’s Study House, and peer inside the locker rooms of the recently renovated Rungrado May Day Stadium, ready to host a FIFA World Cup that will never come.
This collection features about 200 photographswith insightful captions, as well as an introductory essay where Wainwright charts the history and development of Pyongyang, explaining how the architecture and interiors embody the national “Juche” ideology and questioning what the future holds for the architectural ambitions of this enigmatic country.
Ali
In June, 1963, on assignment from Sports Illustrated, peerless portrait photographer Steve Schapiro traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to spend some time with the young Olympic champion boxer Cassius Clay, and accompany him on a road trip to New York City. At 21, Clay was yet to adopt the mantel of Muhammad Ali, but his boastful persona, intelligence, black pride, and sharp tongue were already fully formed.
Over the course of their five days together, Schapiro—a master at developing trust and capturing unguarded intimacy on film—revealed both sides of the young Ali: the one side posing and preening for the camera, ever conscious of his image; the other, unguarded and unselfconscious, in candid images of the young fighter at home with his family and immersed in his community and neighborhood.
Ali collects the best of Schapiro's images of the late fighter; many in print for the first time ever. They offer a glimpse of a star on the rise. It is an indelible portrait of the early life of one of the most talented, graceful, controversial, athletic, and influential American figures of the 20th century.
Streets of London
London: the capital city of the United Kingdom and the political, economic, and cultural heart of the country. Along with Paris, Tokyo, and New York, London is considered one of the alpha capitals of the world: a pulsing, vibrant mega-metropolis which attracts millions of tourists and travelers each year with its history, museums, theater, art, fine dining, rich traditions, and multicultural flair.

To capture all the diversity that characterizes London, this volume features more than 40 contemporary photographers with equally varied perspectives and styles. From the world-renowned London landmarks and tourist attractions like Tower Bridge, the Thames, and St. Paul's Cathedral to lesser-known London boroughs and neighborhoods, each photographer offers a personal view of the British metropolis, allowing for a fresh photo tribute to a historic city, as well as visual inspirations for Londoners, old and new.

Wherein lies the beauty of the dark image? What is the attraction of the dark tourist attraction and, moreover, the disposition and practice of the dark tourist away from and upon return home? Dark Tourism: The Beauty in Death is a collection of photographs captured in places associated with death and tragedy around the world, where tourists visit with varying motivations from being reminded of how fragile life is, a prompt that life is precious and bad things happen so we need to make the most out of our lives.
California Crazy
At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans predilection for wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneurs to cater to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s, attention-grabbing buildings began to appear that would draw in passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal. The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside buildings as monstrosities .
Yet, they flourished, especially along America s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as proprietors indulged their creative impulses in the form of giant, eccentric constructions from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years, California s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity, and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of buildings, California Crazy.
Brimming with the best examples of this architectural genre, California Crazy includes essays exploring the influences that fostered the nascent architectural movement, as well as identifying the unconventional landscapes and attitudes found on Los Angeles and Hollywood roadsides which allowed these buildings to flourish in profusion.
In addition, California Crazy features David Gebhard s definitive essay, which defined this vernacular movement almost forty years ago. The California Crazy concept is expanded to include domestic architecture, eccentric signage, and the automobile as a fanciful object.
Combine a freethinking populace with a desire to reinvent itself, and a climate was created that served as the perfect incubator for the outrageous and amazing.
Fotografie, socha, objekt
Fotografie je bytostně hraničním fenoménem. Osciluje na hranici pomíjivého a trvalého, dynamického a statického, zjevného a skrytého, vědy a magie, informace a věci, pravdy a fikce, umění a průmyslu, profesionálního a amatérského, soukromého a veřejného, dokumentu a monumentu, analogového a digitálního, globálního a lokálního, jednotlivého a obecného, jednotného a množného. Hraniční fenomény jsou obtížně uchopitelné, nelze je totiž jednoznačně a trvale vymezit a identifikovat pomocí metodologických, konceptuálních, estetických či politických kategorií a norem. Hranici nezakoušíme jako okamžité překročení demarkační linie, nýbrž mnohem spíše jako postupné zjištění, že jsme již v jiném, cizím světě. Zkoumání rozhraní je proto vždy povýtce osobním příběhem, analýzou a zhodnocením vlastní zkušenosti takové mezní situace.
V této knize se texty historiků a kritiků umění, filozofů, sociologů a umělců soustředí na rozhraní mezi fotografií a sochou: věnují se jejich historickým i současným vztahům od problematiky fotografické reprodukce sochařských děl po vzájemné prolínání obou druhů v umění a kultuře.
Dogs
Dog Days
A photo tribute to our four-pawed friends
In celebration of the world’s favorite animal, we bring you over 400 photographs of or about dogs. With pictures from the 19th century to today, the collection includes works by Man Ray, Eric Fischl, Wolfgang Tillmans, Donna Ruskin, Fatima NeJame, Vincent Versace, and of course Elliott Erwitt and William Wegman. Together, their pictures, unique in style but united in canine affection, are testimony if ever there was one that dogs are not only best friends, but also pure photographic inspiration.
Forget #dogsofinstagram, this is real canine art, showing how the camera has been key witness to dogs in all their diversity, character, and friendship, from pensive pooch portraits to four-pawed action shots. As intellectually as it is visually stimulating, the book includes captivating essays tracing the presence of dogs in the history of photography and their relationship with humans across the decades.
Alex Prager: Silver Lake Drive
Alex Prager is one of the truly original image makers of our time. Working fluidly between photography and film, she creates large-scale projects that combine elaborately built sets, highly staged, complex performances and a ‘Hollywood’ aesthetic to produce still and moving images that are familiar yet strange, utterly compelling and unerringly memorable. In her career she has won both popular acclaim and the recognition of the art establishment – her work can be found in the collections of MoMA and the Whitney Museum in New York as well as institutions worldwide.
This book is the first career retrospective of this rising star. In 120 carefully curated photographs, it summarizes Prager’s creative trajectory and offers an ideal introduction for the popular ‘breakout’ audience who may have only recently encountered her work. Structured around her project-orientated approach, Silver Lake Drive presents the very best images from her career to date: from the early Film Stills through her collaborations with the actor Bryce Dallas Howard on Week-end and Despair to the tour de force of The Face in the Crowd – shot on a Hollywood sound stage with over 150 performers – and her 2015 commission for the Paris opera La Grande Sortie.
Supported by an international exhibition schedule, and including an in-depth interview with Alex Prager by Nathalie Herschdorfer and supplementary essays by the curators of renowned museums and galleries, this book will be an essential addition to the collection of anyone who has followed Prager’s career and all with an interest in and appreciation of contemporary art.

Lear, Parrots
Brilliant Plumage
An unsurpassed monument in the history of scientific illustration
Edward Lear may be best known for his nonsense verse, but in his early years he excelled as an illustrator of birds and reptiles. This set of 42 hand-colored lithographs, originally entitled Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots, was the finest achievement of his relatively brief career as a natural history draftsman, before failing eyesight led him to concentrate on his writing.
During Lear’s time, live parrots were rare and much sought-after, bought and sold for large sums by wealthy amateurs of natural history, and prized by 19th century European aristocracy for their astonishing plumage and mimickry of the human voice. Naturally, fine drawings of them were also highly prized. One of the first collections entirely dedicated to the species, Parrots includes African, Australian, and American parrots bred by eminent ornithologists such as Sir William Jardine and Prideaux John Selby, who sponsored Lear, inspiring and directing his work.
Unlike other avian illustrators who often worked with stuffed birds, the young and prodigiously talented Lear (1812–1888) made his drawings from live parrots, capturing their expressions and movements in remarkably lifelike illustrations. The new medium of hand-colored lithography facilitated the vivid elegance of Lear’s work.
This exquisite collection was originally reproduced in only 175 precious sets and sold by subscription to Britain’s most eminent scholars and wealthy collectors of living parrots. The Psittacidae established Lear as a celebrated illustrator, and professor of drawing to the young Queen Victoria. With a brief zoological introduction and written descriptions of each bird, this title brings TASCHEN's XL-sized edition to a more accessible, optimized format, bringing Lear’s parrots back to life for all to admire.
“Simply put, the plates are stunning. The birds appear ready to lead off of the page and fly away.”

Corbijn Allegro
Allegro war das zweite von mittlerweile 14 Photobüchern, die der holländische Photograph und Filmemacher Anton Corbijn bisher bei Schirmer/Mosel veröffentlicht hat. Nach Famouz, seinem Erstling von 1989, der ihn und seinen radikal neuen Blick auf die Großen der Pop- und Rockszene praktisch über Nacht weltberühmt gemacht hatte, markierte Allegro zwei Jahre später bereits eine vielversprechende Weiterentwicklung seines photographischen Spektrums: Neben Klassikern in Schwarzweiß - Bono, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Sting, Tom Waits und vielen anderen - enthielt der Band, den wir jetzt als zweisprachige, deutsch-englische Ausgabe neu auflegen, erstmals auch Portraits und experimentelle Arbeiten in Farbe.
Seitdem hat Anton Corbijn sein Portrait-Pantheon um die großen Namen aus der Welt der Musik und Kunst, der Literatur und des Films ständig erweitert. Heute zählt er nicht nur zu den wichtigsten Photographen seiner Generation, auch als Regisseur und Produzent mehrerer Kinofilme sorgte er international für Aufsehen, zuletzt mit der John Le Carré-Verfilmung A Most Wanted Man (2014).
Grannis, Surf Photography
At a time when surfing is more popular than ever, it’s fitting to look back at the years that brought the sport into the mainstream. Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s—becoming not just a sport, but a way of life, admired and exported across the globe. One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the early 1960s in both California and Hawaii.
This edition brings back Grannis’s hair-raising, sold-out Collector’s Edition, curated from the photographer’s personal archives, to showcase his most vibrant work in a compact and affordable format—from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed North Shore.
An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from “surfer stomps” and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era—a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best.

The Journal of a Skateboarder
At the age of twenty-nine, photographer Thomas Sweertvaegher spends most of his life on the road with friends, indulging his dual passions of photography and skating. Years of traveling the world together--always on the move and often carrying nothing more than a skateboard--have yielded the poignant photographs collected in this volume, where the skateboard remains a constant symbol of freedom, an extension of their identities, and the mark of their strong friendship.
Rolling on the margins of society, exploring the limits of life and his own young adulthood, Sweertvaegher captures whatever is happening around him during his travels. His shots take the reader on a journey, showing the highs and lows, bruises, and stitches of skating and street life, and ultimately celebrating the beauty such a life can bring.
While it captures Sweertvaegher's odyssey from a highly personal perspective, The Journal of a Skateboarder is at the same time a visual documentary of the skating world, and features key figures such as Axel Cruysberghs, Arto Saari, Dylan Rieder, and Rodney Mullen.
Všední den v české fotografii 50. a 60. let
Kniha představuje svébytný proud české fotografie padesátých a šedesátých let 20. století, pro nějž se později vžilo pojmenování fotografie všedního dne či poezie všedního dne ve fotografii. Tyto snímky, většinou pořízené v nejrůznějších uličních zákoutích našich měst, okouzlily ve své době prostřednictvím tisku a obrazových publikací obrovské množství lidí. Jejich tvůrci pak měli neobyčejně velké divácké publikum a také popularitu, o níž se dnešním výtvarným umělcům, snad až na nemnohé výjimky, může jen zdát. Doba žila fotografií a žila všedností. Mnohá díla však uchvacují dodnes nejen svou řemeslnou kvalitou a rafinovaností, ale s odstupem času rovněž hutnou informací o této zajímavé době, viděné dnes již prizmatem určité nostalgie. Z nejpřednějších českých a moravských fotografů sledovaného období jsou v knize zastoupeni například Jiří Jeníček, Václav Jírů, Jan Beran, Karel Otto Hrubý, Marie Šechtlová, Erich a Milada Einhornovi, Miloš Budík či Pavel Dias. Publikace je uzavřena výběrovou bibliografií, jmenným rejstříkem a anglickým resumé.
