Baby Talk The Anne Geddes phenomenon An infant curled within a seashell, on a bed of flowers, or its mother's body. With her distinct style and sensitive compositions, Anne Geddes has become one of the world's most widely known and loved photographers, celebrated for her unique take on infancy and parenthood in soft, characterful, vibrant portraits. Like no photographer before, Geddes strives to capture the beauty, purity, and vulnerability of early childhood and to embody within an image her deeply held belief that each and every child must be "protected, nurtured and loved." Since its inception in 1992, The Geddes Philanthropic Trust has designated significant funds from the range of Anne Geddes products to help prevent child abuse and neglect in countries around the world. This Geddes retrospective draws from access to the photographer's complete archive, reaching back to the late 1980s. With many previously unseen images as well as a sticker motif, it honors not only a whimsical and endearing aesthetic but its underlying philosophy of care for the young and vulnerable and for the future of mankind.Text in English, French, and German

Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Scandinavia is famous for its distinctive style: homes are pared-back and simple, and form and function are combined to create aesthetically pleasing and practical interiors. Scandinavians are inspired by light, having an abundance of it in summer but so little of it in winter, and house designs tend to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the home, and allow the inhabitants to make the most of outdoor life during the summer. Similarly, nature and the weather are major influences: homes are made warm and cosy for the freezing winter months - not just literally with log burners, but also through incorporating wood and natural materials. Here Niki Brantmark, owner of the interior design blog My Scandinavian Home, presents a wide-ranging collection of these beautiful homes and explores how the Scandinavian lifestyle is reflected in them all. The first chapter, Urban Living, features styles ranging from minimalist to bohemian, and pale palettes to dramatic dark colours.By contrast, the Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through colour and textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Finally, the spectacular Rural Retreats include a mountain cabin, beach house and rustic summer cottage, and demonstrate how having somewhere to escape to is so important to many Scandinavians. This collection of stunning interiors will put Scandi style within every reader's reach.

International sex appeal 62 photographers take on the nude female form In 2007 TASCHEN released The New Erotic Photography, followed in 2012 by The New Erotic Photography 2. Each book featured hundreds of fresh and provocative images from the world's most intriguing erotic talents. Now the best of both books is available in The New Erotic Photography, featuring 62 photographers from 10 countries, exploring the global variations of erotic photography, as well as the evolution of photographic media over the last decade. We see film give way to digital, while those who persist with film are as likely to use Polaroids and primitive cameras like the Lomo and Holga as traditional SLRs. The featured photographers include new names Gregory Bojorquez, Jo Schwab, Tomohide Ikeya, Frederic Fontenoy, Andrew Pashis, and Jan Hronsky, as well as established artists Guido Argentini, Bruno Bisang, Eric Kroll, and the late Bob Carlos Clarke. Several outstanding women are also featured in this edition, including erotic film star Kimberly Kane, digital pioneer Natacha Merritt, heavy metal skateboarder Magdalena Wosinska, self-portraitist Jody Frost, and cover artist April-lea Hutchinson.

"something really to behold, a substantial project of some real depth and authority. By flicking through the pages you can sense the amount of research, patience and hard work that has been invested. The portraits, as always with Borden are simple, effective and very telling." - Martin Parr 'A masterpiece and deeply moving' - Alain de Botton 'A wonderful piece of work' - Lynn Barber Over the course of five years, acclaimed photographer Harry Borden has travelled the globe photographing survivors of the Holocaust. The people featured vary in age, gender and nationality, but are all tied together by their experience and survival of one of the darkest moments in human history. Each photograph is accompanied by a handwritten note from the sitter, ranging from poems, to memories, to hopes for the future, creating a strong sense of intimacy between sitter and reader. This intimacy is amplified by the home settings of many of the photographs, along with the photographer's use of available light at each scene.At the end of the book is a section providing more information about the person in each portrait, and about how and what they survived, together with the historical context of the events they lived through. Thought-provoking and touching, this book conveys the dignity and humanity of each subject's character. Survivor is a unique and powerful testimony of what it is to live with memories of the Holocaust.

Katalóg k retrospektívnej výstave s názvom Noteboom, ktorá sa konala na pôde Galérie umenia Ernesta Zmetáka v Nových Zámkoch v čase od 20. 5. do 19. 6. 2010. Milota Havránková je poprednou predstaviteľkou súčasnej slovenskej fotografie. Publikácia je prierezom jej tvorby z rokov 1965–2009. Od nástupu na umeleckú scénu je jej tvorba výnimočná v odlišnosti výtvarného jazyka od aktuálnych trendov. Rezignuje na priamu fotografiu a jej doménou je inscenovaná a manipulovaná fotografia. Hľadá nové možnosti fotografie, nové výrazové prostriedky, presahy do iných médií, technológie spracovania i transformovanie fotografie do netradičných materiálov.

Publikácia Martin Štrba. Pevná zem pod hlavou je prvou samostatnou monografiou predstavujúcou odbornej, ale aj širokej verejnosti, fotografickú tvorbu uznávaného slovenského kameramana. Martin Štrba je v porovnaní s väčšinou autorov slovenskej novej vlny akousi pokojnou silou. Nechce šokovať, chce rozprávať. Nesnaží sa obsiahnuť svet, len to, čo považuje za dôležité. Lásku, dôveru, blízkosť, priateľstvo. Keď sa v jeho fotografiách zjavujú muž, žena, sú väčšinou rovnako symbolmi ako konkrétnymi osobami. Štrba nerozpráva o Mužovi a o Žene, ale o Sebe a o Nej. Sám priznáva inšpiráciu surrealizmom, čo sa zrkadlí najmä v absurdnej línii jeho tvorby. V jeho prácach však silno badať aj vplyv filmu. Martin Štrba vychádza z uchopiteľnej reality, stavia obrazy jednoduchými prostriedkami tak, aby niesli v sebe hlboké významy.

Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932) was a great pioneer of botanical photography, yet he was neither a professional photographer nor a botanist. A professor at the Academy of Applied Arts in Berlin, he was a sculptor and amateur photographer, and his interest in the plant world was originally educational. Fascinated by the structure of plants, whose apparently artistic forms were created by biological expediency, he realized that photography could be a useful teaching tool, allowing his students to see and compare many natural forms. Blossfeldt worked with a homemade camera and gathered and photographed his own plant samples, magnifying them by up to 45 times. From around 1898 onwards, he shot some 6,000 images, which he used primarily as visual aids in his classes. Eventually published as Art Forms in Nature (1928) and Art Forms in Nature, Second Series (1932), his photographs had a lasting impact on the art of his day and were enthusiastically embraced by both the Surrealists and the New Objectivity movement. His books brought him overnight fame and are still considered landmarks in the history of art and photography. This volume brings together a remarkable collection of Blossfeldt’s strikingly austere yet poetic portraits of plants, capturing their timeless beauty in intimate detail.

What if, in a world where millions of us can capture and share our lives instantly with one another, there was a place to bring the best of these images together? Now there is. Life on Instagram is the first and only annual of its kind. Celebrating everyday moments of beauty, joy and imagination and uniting countless people from all over the globe, this book shows us who we are and how we live.

Fotograf Dušan Slivka (1944) patrí medzi popredné osobnosti krajinárskej fotografie na Slovensku. Vyštudoval odbor filmová kamera na Filmovej fakulte Akademie muzických umění v Prahe (1968). V rokoch 19701974 pracoval ako kameraman v Slovenskej televízii. Od roku 1974 až do súčasnosti pracuje ako fotograf v slobodnom povolaní. Dlhodobo sa venuje žánru vedeckej ilustrácie v oblasti botaniky, geológie, architektúry a umenia. Vo svojej voľnej tvorbe pracuje od roku 1963 na kolekcii farebných fotografií minimalistických krajín. Výtvarný jazyk Slivkovych fotografií je lakonický. Krajinu abstrahuje na jednoduché monochromatické plochy a prostriedky vyjadrenia redukuje na minimum. Potláča prirodzenú perspektívu, ktorú zvyčajne nahrádza jedna plocha nad horizontom a jedna pod nim. Slivka tak zhmotňuje svoju vlastnú predstavu o krajine, ktorá akoby nemala reálny základ a je skôr formou ako obsahom. V Slivkovej krajine sme prišli o domov, o stabilný bod uprostred sveta. Jeho prakrajina nie je miestom odpočinku a bezpečia. Je slepou uličkou našej existencie, bezvýchodiskovou situáciou, ktorá nás aktivizuje, núti hľadať zmysel a zapĺňať jej prázdny priestor vlastným obsahom.

Hirošige je považován za jednoho z největších mistrů japonského dřevořezu. Známé jsou především jeho krajiny, často doplněné o bezstarostné scény z každodenního života. Ukiyo-e („obrázky pomíjivého světa") s podmanivými rafinovanými kompozicemi a jemně laděnou barevností zachycují život v Japonsku v 19. století a diváky okouzlují dodnes. Jednoduchá estetika dřevořezu s její osobitou kompozicí se stala inspirací i pro evropské umělce, zejména francouzské impresionisty a post-impresionisty. Hirošigeho dílo je fascinovalo a ukázalo jim cestu, jak se vymanit z tradice naturalistického zobrazování světa.

The United States of America with National Geographic A grand tour of the USA through the magazine s rich archives Travel through time and across the country with this state-by-state tour of the United States over the past 100 years. Following on from the critically acclaimed National Geographic: Around the World in 125 Years, the volume brings together more than 700 captivating images from the magazine s illustrious archives to chart a century of change and growth from Alabama to Wyoming. State by state, these remarkable images bring a vivid account of a vast, evolving, and diverse North America, from breathtaking landscapes to advancing industry, evocative rural life to burgeoning towns and cities. We travel from the ski slopes of Colorado to the jazz bars of New Orleans, from the luxurious Hollywood hills to a barbershop in Kentucky, and from Manhattan s Chinatown to a river baptism in Mississippi. Along the way, the tour takes in the gamut of photographic evolution, shifting from early black-and-white and autochrome images of the 1920s and 1930s into midcentury Kodachrome, then the harder-edged reportage of the 1970s and 1980s, and finally the digital images of the 1990s through to the present. With an introductory essay by photography editor David Walker, as well as prefaces to each state section and fascinating storytelling captions, this book celebrates not only the world s greatest photography magazine but also the people, history, and beauty of the United States in all its kaleidoscopic glory."

Zámerom knižnej monografie, ktorá vyšla k rovnomennej výstave Rudolf Sikora | Sám s fotografiou | Alone with Phtography (v slov. a angl. jazyku) je čo najkomplexnejšie zmapovať a predstaviť fotomediálnu tvorbu Rudolfa Sikoru, poukázať na jeho novátorskú úlohu v rozširovaní hraníc fotografie. Narábal s „nájdenou“ i zámernou, autorskou fotografiou a s fotomontážou ešte v preddigitálnej ére, fotografiu využíval vo veľkej miere pre vznik svojich konceptuálnych prác a dodnes môžeme v jeho tvorbe identifikovať viacero technológií, pričom niektoré z nich sú autorské. Hoci časť jeho fotomediálnej tvorby bola výstavne prezentovaná v rámci väčších retrospektívnych (Národní galerie v Praze, 2006; Slovenská národná galéria v Bratislave, 2008) či monotematických výstav (Galéria umenia E. Zmetáka v Nových Zámkoch, 2011; Turčianska galéria v Martine, 2014), jej knižné spracovanie prichádza pri príležitosti bratislavskej výstavy v Galérii UMELKA. Ambíciou knižného projektu je predstaviť Sikorovu fotomediálnu tvorbu v čo najúplnejšej miere od je začiatkov až po dnešok, zhodnotiť jeho miesto a hlavné prínosy do dejín konceptuálne orientovanej fotografie a fotomediálnej tvorby. Rudolf Sikora patrí medzi prvých umelcov, ktorý sa sústavne zaoberal novou témou globálne-civilizačného a ekologického ohrozenia sveta. Svoj spôsob metaforického konceptuálneho myslenia postavil na využití diagramov, textov, interpunkčných znamienok, na práci s fotografiou či fotomontážou. Temné a varovné tóny čoskoro vystriedali optimistickejšie kozmologické výskumy, ktoré Sikora okrem iného podoprel aj vedeckými poznatkami z teórie vzniku a existencie vesmíru a k vede vytvoril originálnu umeleckú paralelu so silnou myšlienkovou výpoveďou. Neodmysliteľnou stránkou jeho osobnosti je dodnes spoločenský aktivizmus, ktorý našiel prirodzené uplatnenie aj v jeho výtvarných konceptoch plných etickej apelatívnosti. Systematicky sa zaoberá odkazom ruských revolučných avantgárd reprezentovaných hlavne dielom K. Maleviča. Reflektuje duchovný odkaz jeho novátorského činu, ale cez neho aj všeobecnejšiu problematiku sociálnych utópií a ich dôsledkov na život ľudí a spoločenských systémov v 20. a 21. storočí. Štúdie v katalógu pojednávajú o autorovej fotografickej tvorbe z rôznych aspektov, súčasťou knihy sú reprinty starších textov (E. Sikorová, V. Macek), ako aj nové syntetické i monotematické pohľady od domácich (K. Bajcurová) a zahraničných kurátorov (A. a R. Fowkes, M. S. Witkovsky), prílohou knihy je rozsiahla štúdia o fotografickom diele R. Sikoru z rokov 1970 – 1998 od českej fotografky J. Havelkovej (skrátená a redigovaná verzia jej diplomovej práce z r. 1998, ktorá vznikla na Inštitúte tvorivej fotografie v Opave). Kniha obsahuje rozsiahlu fotografickú časť (vyše 300 vyobrazení), v ktorej sú prezentované aj viaceré doteraz nepublikované diela, ako aj podrobnú dokumentáciu a faktografiu autorovej tvorby.

Obrazová publikace Milena Valušková, fotografie 1971 až 2017, představuje výběr fotografií olomoucké fotografky Mileny Valuškové od roku 1971 až po současnost.
