Stephen Shore
One of the most significant photographers of our time, Stephen Shore has often been considered alongside other artists who rose to prominence in the 1970s by capturing the mundane aspects of American popular culture in straightforward, unglamorous images. But Shore has worked with many forms of photography, switching from cheap automatic cameras to large-format cameras in the 1970s, pioneering the use of colour before returning to black and white in the 1990s, and in the 2000s taking up the opportunities of digital photography, digital printing and social media.
Stephen Shore encompasses the entirety of the artist’s work of the last five decades, during which he has conducted a continual, restless interrogation of image making, from the gelatin silver prints he made as a teenager to his current engagement with digital platforms. Published to accompany the major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the book allows for a fuller understanding of Shore’s work, and demonstrates his singular vision – defined by an interest in daily life, a taste for serial and often systematic approaches, a strong intellectual underpinning, a restrained style, sly humour and visual casualness – and uncompromising pursuit of photography’s possibilities.
Summoning Pearl Harbor
Summoning Pearl Harbor is a mesmerizing display of linguistic force that redefines remembering. How do words make the past appear? In what way does the historian summon bygone events? What is this kind of remembering, and for whom do we recall the dead, or the past? In this highly original meditation on the past, renowned art historian Alexander Nemerov delves into what it means to recall a significant event? Pearl Harbor?and how descriptions of images can summon it back to life. Beginning with the photo album of a former Japanese kamikaze pilot, which is reproduced in this volume, Nemerov transports the reader into a different world through his engagement with the photographs and the construction of a narrative around them. Through its lyrical prose, Summoning Pearl Harbor expands what we traditionally associate with ekphrastic writing. The kind of writing that can enliven a work of art is also the kind of writing that makes the past appear in vivid color and deep feeling. In the end, this timely piece of writing opens onto fundamental questions about how we communicate with each other, and how the past continues to live in our collective consciousness, not merely as facts but as stories that shape us. Here, Nemerov’s constant awareness of the power of language to make an experience?seen or remembered? become real reminds us that great ekphrastic writing is at the heart of every effective description.
Aperture 228
The Elements of Style investigates the role of style, dress, and beauty in the formation of individual identity.

A Man and His Watch
Paul Newman wore his Daytona Rolex every single day for 35 years until his death in 2008. The iconic timepiece, probably the single most sought-after watch in the world, is now in the possession of his daughter Clea, who wears it every day in his memory. Franklin Roosevelt wore an elegant gold Tiffany watch, gifted to him by a friend on his birthday, to the famous Yalta Conference where he shook the hands of Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. JFK's Omega worn to his presidential inauguration, Ralph Lauren's watch purchased from Andy Warhol's personal collection, Sir Edmund Hillary's Rolex worn during the first-ever summit of Mt. Everest...these and many more compose the stories of the world's most coveted watches captured in A Man and His Watch. Matthew Hranek, a watch collector and NYC men's style fixture, has travelled the world conducting firsthand interviews and diving into exclusive collections to gather the never-before- told stories of 76 watches, complete with stunning original photography of every single piece.
Wim Wenders
Wim Wenders, the distinguished filmmaker and co-founder of New German Cinema, is also a world-renowned photographer. He has exhibited his large-format, panoramic photographs in Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Bilbao, Sydney, Shanghai, Rome, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Copenhagen, New York and Düsseldorf. Now, for the first time, this book – published to accompany an exhibition at London’s Photographer’s Gallery – presents his polaroids. Spanning the 1970s to the present day, they feature friends, actors and personal heroes, objects, places, spaces and situations from the everyday life of a travelling filmmaker. Wenders does not order his ‘photographic notes’, as he calls them, by theme, but as stories. They are accompanied by his own texts, short stories and haikus.
Wim Wenders: Instant Stories is a photographic road trip through the life of the artist, from his early travels through America’s cinematic landscapes to the German provinces and beyond.

Bystander
In this book, the authors explore and discuss the development of one of the most interesting and dynamic of photographic genres. Hailed as a landmark work when it was first published in 1994, Bystander is widely regarded by street photographers as the ‘bible’ of street photography. It covers an incredible array of talent, from the unknowns of the late 19th century to the acknowledged masters of the 20th, such as Atget, Stieglitz, Strand, Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Kertesz, Frank, Arbus, Winogrand and Levitt to name just a few. In this new and fully revised edition, the story of street photography is brought up to date with a re-evaluation of some historical material, the inclusion of more contemporary photographers and a discussion of the ongoing rise of digital photography.
Obama: An Intimate Portrait
The definitive visual biography of the Obama presidency, captured in intimate and unprecedented detail by the official White House photographer.
For the past eight years, Pete Souza has been the official White House photographer, and his images have been a principal way the American public has come to know their president. Over the course of President Obama's two terms, he made nearly 2 million photographs of our commander in chief--capturing moments ranging from the classified to the disarmingly candid.
This book contains approximately 300 of Souza's favorite and most iconic images from these historic years; many have never been seen before. It is a seminal book on the Obama presidency, documenting moments of national import--including the iconic image of the president and advisors watching the Bin Laden mission--alongside unguarded moments with the president's family, with children, and with American and world leaders, artists, musicians, and other cultural figures.
The photographs are paired with captions providing behind-the-scenes context for each, and will offer insight into the special relationship Souza and the president forged during their time together.
Židé v diaspoře
Život současných židovských společenství ve fotografiích se slovním doprovodem judaisty Daniela Soukupa.
Významný fotograf Jindřich Štreit na obálku knihy napsal: „Jestliže jdeme koncepčně, cílevědomě a s jasnou představou za svým snem, dokážeme neuvěřitelné. Pro Jindřicha takovou vysněnou metou bylo vydání knihy... Již po několik let soustředěně pracuje na fotografickém cyklu s židovskou tematikou. Není mu zatěžko jet kamkoli, aby zachytil atmosféru setkání, událostí, slavností nebo prostředí, ve kterém doposud nebyl, a to i po několikáté... Navštěvuje hřbitovy, a nejen ty, kde odpočívají jeho příbuzní. Neváhá zajet do Izraele, do Londýna, na Ukrajinu nebo do polské Osvětimi a Treblinky. Po jednotlivých střípcích skládá svůj příběh života od narození až po jeho konec...Tato kniha přichází na svět s pokorou a úctou. Přijměte ji jako poctu židovskému národu.“
S předmluvou Leo Pavláta a doslovem Karola Sidona.
Václav Podestát
První knižní vydání výběru z dosavadní tvorby Václava Podestáta, předního českého dokumentárního fotografa, absolventa katedry fotografie na FAMU v Praze a pedagoga Institutu tvůrčí fotografie Slezské univerzity v Opavě. Publikace „S andělem uprostřed davu“ představuje výběr z jeho děl z posledního čtvrtstoletí. Přestože mnohé snímky často ukazují osamělé jedince vydělující se z okolního hlučícího davu velkoměst a ponořující se do svého nitra, v obecné rovině odkazují k úvodnímu citátu knihy od Antoine de Saint-Exupéryho: „Člověk vnímá jen ten svět, který nosí v sobě.“ Podestátovi nejde o zeměpisný či sociologický dokument z konkrétního prostředí, ale všude vyhledává obdobné metaforické vyjádření vlastních pocitů a vizuálních zážitků. Spoléhá přitom hodně na diváka. Na jeho ochotu vciťovat se do nálady snímků, spolupracovat při dešifrování symbolických významů fotografií, všímat si drobných detailů, objevovat kontrasty i analogie různých motivů. Fotografie akcentují neotřelou obrazovou stránku, vzdálenou tradičním kompozičním schématům, hlavní význam bývá ukryt v podtextu otevřeném různým interpretacím. Novou dimenzi v posledních letech do Podestátovy tvorby vnáší promyšlené využití barvy, které se ještě více vzdaluje of tradičního dokumentu, autor zároveň usiluje i o vizuální hru s imaginací diváků. Úvodní studii napsal fotograf a historik fotografie Vladimír Birgus.

Peter Korniss: Continuing Memories
Péter Korniss comprehensive work over fifty years encompasses the gradual disappearance of the traditional peasant world, the transformed village, tradition in the present and the way of life of the weekly commputer. When we interpret his work it becomes clear that he thinks in terms of social processes not just of photographic series.
The Story of Looking
Looking can be an act of empathy or aggression. It can provoke desire or express it. And from the blurry, edgeless world we inhabit as infants to the landscape of screens we grow into, looking can define us.
In The Story of Looking, filmmaker and writer Mark Cousins takes us on a lightning-bright tour - in words and images - through how our looking selves develop over the course of a lifetime, and the ways that looking has changed through the centuries. From great works of art to tourist photographs, from cityscapes to cinema, through science and protest, propaganda and refusals to look, the false mirrors and great visionaries of looking, this book illuminates how we construct as well as receive the things we see.
Brilliant and eclectic, The Story of Looking is a photo album and an art gallery, a road movie and a visual grammar: once you've read it, you'll never see things the same way again.

Hollywood Royale
One of a handful of artists to emerge from Andy Warhol's celebrity-focused Interview magazine, Matthew Rolston is a well-established icon of Hollywood photography. Alongside such luminaries as Herb Ritts and Greg Gorman, Rolston was a member of an influential group of photographers (among them, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, and Steven Meisel) who came from the 1980's magazine scene. Rolston helped define the era's take on celebrity image-making, gender bending, and much more. Edited by Los Angeles-based gallerist and curator David Fahey, this book, Rolston's fourth monograph, presents a stunning array of portraits that beautifully capture the decade and its myriad talents. From Michael Jackson and Madonna, to Prince, George Michael, and Cyndi Lauper, the images reflect a seamless blend of style, skill, and scintillation. This volume features over 100 mesmerizing photographs selected from Rolston's extensive body of work, centering on his unforgettable portraits of the era's most famous personalities. With essays by authors Pat Hackett, Andy Warhol's longtime collaborator and diarist; Colin Westerbeck, noted photographic curator and expert on American photographer Irving Penn; and Charles Churchward, longtime creative director of Vogue and Vanity Fair and author of The Golden Hour, a definitive biography of Herb Ritts, Hollywood Royale: Out of the School of Los Angeles, paints a fascinating picture of an indelible image-maker and the film stars, models, and artists he immortalized during this period. Rolston's photographs recall the glamour of "Old Hollywood" with postmodern irony

Elephants in Heaven
Impressive pictures of a unique project that makes the consequences of poaching abundantly clear
With a foreword by Dame Daphne Sheldrick, founder of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Because elephants are pachyderms, a combination of two Greek roots meaning “thick skin,” one might think that nothing bothers them and that they lead quiet, safe lives. Nothing could be further from the truth: elephants have been hunted and killed for their ivory tusks since antiquity. And people often ignore the calves left behind, who must now live out their lives as traumatized and fearful orphans. Wildlife photographer Joachim Schmeisser made it his mission to document the story of these abandoned baby elephants. Through his sponsorship of elephants, he came into contact with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the world’s largest and most successful rescue and rehabilitation operation for orphaned elephants, headquartered in Nairobi. Professional veterinary technicians bottle feed the elephant calves until they are old enough to locate their own food. By living together with older elephant calves, they also learn the social rules governing elephant herds. After this phase is complete, the elephants are taken to one of the Trust’s rehabilitation stockades before they are released back into the wild. Joachim Schmeisser followed numerous elephants through the entire process and captured fascinating pictures from their arrival at the nursery all the way to their release back into the wild. Elephants in Heaven provides a visual record of how these traumatized elephants are raised in a place that is truly heavenly for them, offering a compelling behind-the-scenes look inside an elephant nursery. The touching animal portraits also convey the devastating consequences of poaching, because for Joachim Schmeisser, it’s about “beauty, fragility, transience, mindfulness, and about dignity and the equal standing of each individual.”
JOACHIM SCHMEISSER began his professional career as an advertising photographer. But in addition to his paid work, he always pursued side projects that had personal meaning to him, particularly those relating to humanity and topics relevant to society. He has won many international awards for his work, including the 2012 Hasselblad Masters Award. His work is exhibited around the world.
Ice is Black
A comprehensive survey of Arctic landscapes and wildlife
The perfect gift for anyone with an interest in animals, landscapes, nature photography, and adventure travel
A visual journey that presents natural beauty alongside a call to action to protect these environments
From majestic glaciers to vast frozen plains as far as the eye can see, ice is just as important to the world’s ecosystems as water, air, and trees. And yet its presence and vital role on Earth is increasingly threatened by the effects of global warming and population growth—the inspiration behind French photographer Laurent Baheux’s latest endeavor, Ice is Black. Through breathtaking black-and-white images, Baheux captures the world’s most beautiful icy landscapes and the fascinating animals that inhabit them. We get close to creatures and landscapes that seem to be taken out of time. Taken in such far-flung lands as Norway, Iceland, and Canada, Baheux’s images present polar bears and their cubs, foxes frolicking in snow, and seals navigating icy waters. While the photographs convey evocative beauty, they also act as a call to action to protect these magnificent icy lands and the creatures that rely on them.
LAURENT BAHEUX is a French nature photographer and activist who is the author of The Family Album of Wild Africa, published by teNeues in 2015. In addition to the consciousness-raising that is inherent in his photographic work, he accompanies and supports the deeds of organizations such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) that work for the protection of nature and the preservation of biodiversity. His mission is to inspire those who witness his works not only to marvel at them, but also to take action.
