Robert Doisneau - The Vogue Years
From high-society balls and fashion shoots to portraits of artists and scenes from urban life in France, this handsome volume--which features an open spine binding so that it lays flat to show off the photographs to their best advantage--showcases Doisneau's best photographs for Vogue Paris. Celebrated photographer Robert Doisneau worked for Vogue from 1949 until 1965, illustrating a postwar France filled with a renewed zest for life. His little-known images of haute couture featured models like Brigitte Bardot and Bettina, who he photographed in the studio and out on the streets. He chronicled the members of the cafe society in their stately homes and at glamorous costume galas, dancing the night away. Best known for his humanist approach, he masterfully captured scenes from everyday life--from the grace of a wedding procession over a footbridge to the petulance of a child impatient for cake. Doisneau's photographs captured the spirit of the era and featured celebrities like Karen Blixen, Picasso, Colette, and Jean Cocteau, as well as jazz musicians, movie stars, and humble craftsmen at work. Legendary Vogue editor in chief Edmonde Charles-Roux's personal homage to the photographer--who was her friend and colleague--offers intimate insight into the man behind the camera, as complex and beautiful as the people and places he immortalized.

Sandra Müller, Dog People
What dog owner hasn't done this? You anthropomorphize your four-legged friend, put thoughts and feelings into his or her head that he or she almost certainly doesn't have, and basically turn your pet into a four-legged person. That is exactly how photographer Sandra Muller feels about her dog Maja-who inspired Dog People-the book that provides hilarious and creative photographic answers to the question: "What kind of person would this dog be?" Whether it's Great Dane Holly as a couch potato or "Gismo" riding a Harley, these images and more make up the unforgettable and endearing collection of portraits of man's best friend in Dog People.
"No, this book is not meant to be a fashion show for dogs and dog owners. This book is simply a thought experiment: what kind of person would my dog be? And let's be honest: who hasn't given his or her dog a lengthy explanation which the dog seems to listen to raptly but surely doesn't understand every word of? Yes, yes, I know...YOUR dog understands every word! So does mine!" (Sandra Muller, photographer/author of Dog People)
The book is a colorful parade of dogs, from Giant Schnauzers to Pugs, from registered purebreds to street mutts. There is also a humorous description of each dog explaining how the outfit was chosen to make the particular animal a Dog Man or Dog Lady. For example, take "Gisbert," a Pug who would surely be a doctor if he were human-as he loves his vet so much that all you have to do is say "Dr. Uwe" and he pricks his ears-as much as any Pug can prick his ears, at least.
Dog People shows us 83 wonderful dog portraits - from a purebred Standard Schnauzer to a street mutt - and a panoply of human characters.

Ivan Matejka
Štvrtá publikácia Aurela Hrabušického a Filipa Vanču z edície Osobnosti slovenskej fotografie tentoraz predstavuje výber z tvorby Ivana Matejku (1942). Tento výrazný fotografický talent sa už v mladosti stal priekopníkom výtvarne orientovanej fotografie na Slovensku. Výtvarní (tzv. umeleckí) fotografi sa po rokoch diktátu socialistického realizmu usilovali oslobodiť fotografiu od verného reprodukovania skutočnosti s cieľom vytvoriť autonómne výtvarné dielo. Matejka patril medzi tých, ktorí v tomto smere zašli najďalej. Na rozdiel od svojich kolegov takmer nikdy nezasahoval do technologických procesov pri vzniku snímky, ale vystačil si so základnými funkciami fotoaparátu. Zanedbané kulisy reálneho socializmu sa v jeho podaní zmenili na detailne rozvrhnuté, rafinované estetické objekty. Máloktorý fotograf pritom vyťažil zo spustnutej reality a civilizačného odpadu toľko krásy.

Fresh, inspiring, insightful, thought provoking: this book is an overview and introduction to 150 of the most exciting contemporary photographers from cultures around the world today. The Best of LensCulture Today celebrates excellence in the visual language of photography in all genres: documentary, fine art, photojournalism, portrait, street photography, abstract, landscape, architecture, nature, alternative process, experimental, poetic, personal, and more. From the already world-famous to brand new discoveries and emerging talents, anyone who is serious about the current state of photography around the globe will be delighted and surprised to discover the rich variety of photographers and their imagery presented in these pages. In the age of digital cameras, smartphones and constant sharing, everyone can be considered to be a photographer today ? but who are the people who are practicing this profound universal language with ?fluency? in today's image-saturated world? This book attempts to answer that question. The editors of this volume believe it takes the critical eyes of curators and experts in the field to discover and celebrate true excellence that stand out from the crowd and deserves considered attention. The editors of LensCulture in conjunction with panels of world-class critics, photo editors, museum curators, agency directors, award-winning photographers, and influential media movers and shakers selected these photographers, hailing from 62 countries on five continents. The photographers on these pages all responded to global calls for submissions (translated into 16 languages to reach the largest possible group of active photographers in cultures around the world), and were selected by panels of experts for their excellence, emerging as some of the best photographers on the planet today. In addition to appearing in the pages of this book, they all have been featured in exhibitions and shows at large-scale international photo festivals and events around the world in the past year, including London, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo.
Magnum Manifesto
In this landmark photography publication and accompanying exhibition, Clement Cheroux demonstrates how Magnum Photos owes its pre-eminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass and navigate the points between photography as art object and photography as documentary evidence. A Magnum photograph can be expressive and bear witness at the same time. Magnum Manifesto is organized into three main parts: Part 1 (1947-1968) views the Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on post-war ideals of commonality and utopianism. Part 2 (1969-1989) shows a world fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities and outsiders. Part 3 (1990-present day) charts the ways in which Magnum photographers have captured - and continue to capture - a world in flux and under threat. Featuring both group and individual projects, the book includes contact sheets, notebooks, magazine spreads and other previously unseen material to accompany the photographs. Complete with extensive texts by Clement Cheroux and photographic historian Clara Bouveresse, Magnum Manifesto is an essential purchase for anyone seeking to understand the very best in photography.
Paul Outerbridge
Light and Shadows Paul Outerbridge's provocative nudes and pioneering color Whether in his sumptuous images for advertising or his soft-hued nudes, Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958) was an alchemist of desire. Color was integral to his aesthetic allure, embracing the complex tri-color-carbro process to create a seductive surface of texture and tone. His quest was for "artificial paradises"-a perfection of form, with a surreal edge. This concise monograph introduces Outerbridge's unique aesthetic and its commercial and artistic trajectory, from his professional peak as New York's highest-paid commercial photographer through to his retreat to Hollywood in the 1940s after a scandal over his erotic photography. With key examples from his oeuvre, the book explores Outerbridge's innovative style through Cubist still life images, magazine photographs, and his controversial nudes, as well as his interaction with other avant-garde photographers, such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Man Ray. Along the way, we recognize Outerbridge's particular ability to transform everyday objects into a quasi-abstract composition and his pioneering role in championing the expressionistic, as much as commercial, potential of color photographs.
Edward Weston
Uncompromising Passion The sensuality and straight photography of Edward Weston Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston (1886-1958). After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft-focus techniques, he became the driving figure behind a group of West Coast artists dubbed Group f/64, which pioneered the sharp, precise school of "Straight Photography." With that stylistic leap, Weston's career moved into high gear, creating photographs of extraordinary sensual realism, perfectly poised between compositional stillness and searing intensity. With nudes, nature studies, and myriad perspectives on the dramatic Californian landscape, Weston's works aimed to locate the "very substance and quintessence of the thing itself." In this concise monograph, we gather some of the finest Weston works to explore how he pursued and achieved this aim whether with a landscape, shell, or naked body.
Blind Spot
The shadow of a tree in upstate New York. A hotel room in Switzerland. A young stranger in the Congo. In Blind Spot, readers will follow Teju Cole's inimitable artistic vision into the visual realm, as he continues to refine the voice and intellectual obsessions that earned him such acclaim for Open City. In more than 150 pairs of images and surprising, lyrical text, Cole explores his complex relationship to the visual world through his two great passions: writing and photography. Blind Spot is a testament to the art of seeing by one of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary literature.
Nefotografie, neslova
Kniha se zabývá propastmi v komunikaci, mezemi fotografie a jazyka i jejich propojováním, protože jazyk a technický obraz jsou často komplementární. Je pohledem na některé kulturní mantinely těchto médií a původ těchto mantinelů. Jsou to mantinely, jejichž existenci si obvykle neuvědomujeme. Jsou-li jazyk a fotografie nejčastějšími nositeli naší kulturní zkušenosti, pak kniha o jejich mezích a úskalích je knihou o mezích nás samotných, o kulturním konstruování nás samotných.
Publikace není určena speciálně fotografům, kunsthistorikům, mediálním teoretikům či sémiotikům, přestože se těmito oblastmi zabývá. Obecné znalosti nejsou nutné. Je nutný pouze zájem o fungování médií a velmi otevřený čtenář.

Henri Cartier-Bresson Interviews and Conversations, 1951-1998
A major new work, Tenancy is comprised of 42 photographs by Robert Adams (born 1937) made in Nehalem Bay State Park, Oregon, between 2013 and 2015, with short texts by the artist. The book's theme of tenancy expresses the idea of "temporary possession of what belongs to another"--specifically, the natural environment. Adams' recent photographs of the landscape reference the current and imminent threats of clearcutting, environmental degradation and natural disasters along the Northwestern coast of the US. The black-and-white photographs include poignant images of massive tree stumps on the beach--a product of the cutting of first and early second growth--as well as shimmering stretches of coastline protected for endangered birds previously thought to have abandoned northern Oregon.
Iggy & the Stooges
In May 1970, The Stooges were in the middle of recording their celebrated album, Fun House at Elektra Records Recording Studio in Los Angeles. That same month, they appeared at the Whisky a Go-Go on Sunset Boulevard for two incredible nights. Ed Caraeff, a new rock photographer who had burst onto the scene three years prior with his now-iconic image of Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar onstage at Monterey, happened to be in that crowd, and took a plethora of wonderful pictures. Only a few stills from that phenomenal gig were ever reproduced. Most famously, one was used on the cover of Fun House. The rest were filed away. Until now. Ed Caraeff's coverage of this monumental moment is reprinted here for the first time in book form. He not only captures the energy, madness and raw power of Iggy Pop's performance, but also the preceding minutes before the band stepped onto stage and made history. Along with images and contact sheets, original interviews shed new light on that unforgettable night.Interviewed by pop-culture historian Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, names include Jac Holzman, Head of Elektra Records during the recording of Fun House; Mikael Magliere, son of Mario Maglieri, owner of the Whisky a Go-Go when The Stooges played in 1970; Danny Fields, a DJ/publicist credited for signing MC5 and The Stooges; and Jeff Gold, music historian and noted Iggy Pop biographer.A tribute to the band that rocked the world, Iggy Pop & The Stooges: One Night at the Whisky, 1970 will revolutionise your view of music.

Distanční montáž Artavazda Pelešjana
Kniha reflektuje dílo arménského režiséra Artavadza Ašotoviče Pelešjana (*1938), tvůrce teorie tzv. distanční montáže, která představuje zásadní zlom v chápání zákonitostí střihové skladby filmu. Opěrným textem celé knihy je Pelešjanova stať z poloviny sedmdesátých let Distanční montáž neboli teorie distance, zde v nově revidovaném překladu Jana Bernarda. Z tohoto Pelešjanova opusu následně raší osm výhonků v podobě původních textů, napsaných povětšinou nikoli filmovými teoretiky, nýbrž aktivními filmaři (pedagogy a studenty FAMU), na základě jejich zkušenosti s filmy, teoretickými texty i z osobního setkání s Pelešjanem, který na podzim roku 2015 navštívil Prahu.
