Humanity on the move: Sebastiao Salgado s searing reportage of exiles, migrants, and refugeesIt has been almost a generation since Sebastiao Salgado first published Exodus but the story it tells, of fraught human movement around the globe, has changed little in 16 years. The push and pull factors may shift, the nexus of conflict relocates from Rwanda to Syria, but the people who leave their homes tell the same tale: deprivation, hardship, and glimmers of hope, plotted along a journey of great psychological, as well as physical, toil.Salgado spent six years with migrant peoples, visiting more than 35 countries to document displacement on the road, in camps, and in overcrowded city slums where new arrivals often end up. His reportage includes Latin Americans entering the United States, Jews leaving the former Soviet Union, Kosovars fleeing into Albania, the Hutu refugees of Rwanda, as well as the first boat people of Arabs and sub-Saharan Africans trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean sea. His images feature those who know where they are going and those who are simply in flight, relieved to be alive and uninjured enough to run. The faces he meets present dignity and compassion in the most bitter of circumstances, but also the many ravaged marks of violence, hatred, and greed.With his particular eye for detail and motion, Salgado captures the heart-stopping moments of migratory movement, as much as the mass flux. There are laden trucks, crowded boats, and camps stretched out to a clouded horizon, and then there is the small, bandaged leg; the fingerprint on a page; the interview with a border guard; the bundle and baby clutched to a mother s breast. Insisting on the scale of the migrant phenomenon, Salgado also asserts, with characteristic humanism, the personal story within the overwhelming numbers. Against the indistinct faces of televised footage or the crowds caught beneath a newspaper headline, what we find here are portraits of individual identities, even in the abyss of a lost land, home, and, often, loved ones.At the same time, Salgado also declares the commonality of the migrant situation as a shared, global experience. He summons his viewers not simply as spectators of the refugee and exile suffering, but as actors in the social and political shifts of global information, urbanization, environmental damage, and vast discrepancies in wealth, which all contribute to the migratory phenomenon. As the boats bobbing up on the Greek and Italian coastline brought migration home to Europe like no mass movement since the Second World War, Exodus cries out not only for our heightened awareness but also for responsibility and engagement. In face of the scarred bodies, the hundreds of bare feet on hot tarmac, our imperative is not to look on in compassion, but in Salgado s own words, to temper our political, economic, and environmental behaviors in a new regimen of coexistence.

An award-winning photojournalist returns to his home country to capture in images the spirit of Irish life in the centenary of Easter 1916. One hundred years after Ireland's 1916 Rising, the revolt that ultimately lead to independence, who are the Irish and what has become of the republic they made? Photographer Seamus Murphy, exile and escapee, digs deep to discover the forces and mysteries that drive - and have often beguiled - the country since its birth. From the streets of Dublin, and the suburbs of towns and cities adapting to new multicultural life, to the older habitats of Ireland's wilder western shores, Seamus Murphy endeavours to capture the spirit of contemporary Ireland in this witty, closely observed and beautiful photographic book.

Říkalo se, že každý Angličan je ostrov. Tak nějak sám za sebe. Přinejmenším na přelomu 60. a 70. let to neplatilo, stejně jako ve většině zemí euroamerické civilizace. Také mladá generace konzervativní Anglie se zapojila do vlny hippies, multikulturalismu, protestům proti tradičním hodnotám establishmentu a válkám, které ani po té druhé světové v mnoha koutech světa neskončily. Právě v té době přijel do ostrovního království československý student architektury Milan Pitlach a fotil. Stovky, možná tisíce černobílých snímků, zachycujících realitu kolem něj. Nejen tu poetickou v třetí, stejnojmenné, části jeho nejnovější fotografické publikace, v níž dominuje atmosféra tehdejších velkých hudebních festivalů evokujících sto let staré motto francouzských revolucionářů – volnost, rovnost, bratrství. Důležitější než tahle třešnička na dortu je ale možná první oddíl Pitlachovy fotoknihy, nazvaný Ulice. V něm totiž se vší syrovostí zachytil prostředí, z něhož velká část květinových dětí pocházela. Bezútěšnost čtvrtí a zákoutí, kam turisté nechodí, vybydlené bloky domů nebo jen oprýskané zdi s nápisy typu Ježíš byl bezdomovec… Bez lidí, s lidmi – těžko říct, které z nich jsou sugestivnější tíživou bezradností bytí. Oba tyto světy pak spojuje druhý oddíl s víceznačným názvem Tráva, byť fotografie v něm jsou jednoznačné. Rámec knihy tvoří první a poslední dvě fotografie, paradoxně z téhož roku. Na 160 stranách mezi nimi je zachycen dokument slavné doby ve slavném Albionu. Dokument, který leccos připomene i těm, kteří tehdy a tam nebyli.

A spanyol kultúra szerelmese, "az optimizmus fotográfusa", Spanyolország társadalmi, politikai és kulturális életének fényképésze több mint ötven éven át. Gyenes - kameráival, objektívjeivel és képzelő­erejével felvértezve - kétségkívül a 20. század második felének egyik legjelentősebb művésze. Francótól I. János Károlyig, Alba hercegnőjétől Sara Montielig, Teresa Berganzától Plácido Domingóig, Sophia Lorentől Cary Grantig - hogy csak néhányat említsünk - senki nem kerülte el intelligens figyelmét. Magyar, aki Spanyolországban telepedett le, 20. századi élet és életmű. Juan Gyenes Reményi Madridban hunyt el 1995. május 18-án. Nagyon sokan meglepődtek a halálhírén, hogy egy ilyen életerős és mentálisan friss ember eltávozhatott. A spanyol királyi pár és Barcelona grófnője táviratban fejezték ki részvétüket. Másnap Gyenes a San Isidro temetőben kapott sírhelyet. Családjának kérése az volt, hogy sírján szimbólumként megjelenjen az egyetlen elem, amely minden fényképén látható: az aláírása. Juan Gyenes e kiváló és teljes életrajza Fernando Olmeda tollából alaposan és részletesen dokumentálja ezt az egyedülálló életet, tele eseményekkel, miközben a fényképészetnek nyújtott érdemei alapján a megérdemelt helyére emeli az egyetemes érvényű művészt.

Faces, places, and punk: The Alice Springs portfolioWhen her husband who happened to be world-famous photographer Helmut Newton fell sick with flu on the eve of a pressing deadline in 1970 it was up to his wife, June, to photograph an advertisement for Gitanes cigarettes. After the barest instruction in lighting and camerawork, June clicked the shutter on a smoking model and ignited her own career behind the lens.Using the pseudonym Alice Springs, June Newton began as a commercial photographer, shooting advertisements for French and international fashion magazines, before exploring portraiture and celebrity via the highlife in Hollywood and lowlife of the L.A. punk scene during the 1980s. She became Helmut s artistic director, collaborating on exhibitions and books as well as developing her own characteristically intense, revealing photography.Coinciding with a major retrospective at the Helmut Newton Foundation which was shown at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, this TASCHEN collection celebrates Alice Springs s work with a focus on the glamour and seedy excitement of 1980s Melrose in Los Angeles, as well as some of her most compelling self-portraits and studies of Helmut. Throughout, we celebrate Springs s sensitivity to subjects in composition and her particular skill at capturing the charisma animating a figure or face.Text in English, French, and German"

This book draws upon the Magnum archive to present a celebration of the great photographers who have captured those most fugitive of moments in cycling: the personalities, emotions and human endurance. It is grouped into thematic chapters, with works by a range of photographers, showing carefully picture-edited images with discursive captions. Each chapter also features one 'story' of an iconic moment, event or scene captured by a single photographer. They explore themes such as the Tour de France, track racing in the velodrome, winter training and the revelry of the fans and crowds, with images by a variety of iconic photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Guy Le Querrec and Harry Gruyaert.

In the late 1970s, the George Eastman House approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food-related photographs to go with them, in pursuit of publishing a cookbook. Playing off George Eastman’s own famous recipe for lemon meringue pie, as well as former director Beaumont Newhall’s love of food, the cookbook grew from the idea that photographers’ talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen. The recipes do not disappoint, with Robert Adams’s Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adams’s Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedon’s Royal Pot Roast, Imogen Cunningham’s Borscht, William Eggleston’s Cheese Grits Casserole, Stephen Shore’s Key Lime Pie Supreme, and Ed Ruscha’s Cactus Omelet, to name a few. The book was never published, and the materials have remained in George Eastman House’s collection ever since. Now, forty years later, this extensive and distinctive archive of untouched recipes and photographs are published in The Photographer’s Cookbook for the first time. The book provides a time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970s?many before they made a name for themselves?as well as a fascinating look at how they depicted food, family, and home, taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts, and stomachs of some of photography’s most important practitioners.

This critically engaging anthology explores the ways in which photographers from across the globe are viewing the complicated dynamics of family life. The book is divided into two parts: 'Our Own Families' and 'Other People's Families'. Each section includes an essay, analysing the complex attachments between brothers and sisters, parents and children, step-families and in-laws, outcasts and adoptees. Around forty international photographers are interviewed and present their individual pictures, albums and archives, many never previously published in book form. Whether Birte Kaufman's award-winning images of Irish travellers, Magnum member Trent Parke's darkly amusing shots of his family in suburban Australia, Nadia Sablin's elegy to her elderly aunts living in rural Russia, or Elina Brotherus' devastating records of failed IVF, this book takes readers on powerful journeys and enables them to reflect on how they photograph their own families.

Toiletpaper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialisation of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

The stories told with graphics and infographics are now being visualized through photography. Fotoviz shows how these powerful images are depicting correlations, making the invisible visible, and revealing more detail than classic photojournalism. Images are omnipresent in our digital age, but they're worth a closer look. Many of them can tell us stories in new and surprising ways. Fotoviz reveals how infographics and data visualization are currently impacting photography and points to innovative possibilities for the future. Today, data is being visualized through photographic techniques such as long and multiple exposures. Insightful information is being communicated by making a single image out of several different shots or using a 3D perspective. The work featured in Fotoviz, to cite only a few compelling examples, makes invisible Wi-Fi fields visible, allows airport flight activity from a full day to appear as if it were happening at once, and illustrates the average selfietaking behavior of an entire city.

This richly diverse exploration of female artists and self-portraits is a brilliant and poignant demonstration of originality in works of haunting variety. The two earliest self-portraits come from 12th-century illuminated manuscripts in which nuns gaze at us across eight centuries. In 16th-century Italy, Sofonisba Anguissola paints one of the longest series of self-portraits, spanning adolescence to old age. In 17th-century Holland, Judith Leyster shows herself at the easel as a relaxed, self-assured professional. In the 18th century, artists from Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun to Angelica Kauffman express both passion for their craft and the idea of femininity; and in the 19th the salons and art schools at last open their doors to a host of talented women artists, including Berthe Morisot, ushering in a new and resonant self-confidence. The modern period demolishes taboos: Alice Neel painting herself nude at eighty, Frida Kahlo rendering physical pain, Cindy Sherman exploring identity, Marlene Dumas dispensing with all boundaries. The full verve of Frances Borzello's enthralling text, and the hypnotic intensity of the accompanying self-portraits, is revealed to the full in a completely revised edition of this inspiring book.

Originální autorská publikace nazvaná Znamení Lvova přináší nevšední propojení fotografií a psaného slova. Básník, prozaik a umělecký fotograf Igor Malijevský vykresluje prostřednictvím působivých černobílých fotografií současný ukrajinský Lvov jako město plné odlesků své bývalé slávy, překvapivých kontrastů i žité spirituality. Poetika Malijevského fotografií přitom často překračuje příběh konkrétního místa a směřuje k obecnému existenciálnímu přesahu. Osobité doprovodné texty autor koncipuje jednou jako útržky rozhovorů se svéráznými obyvateli města, jindy jako ironické básnické glosy či v bravurní zkratce vyprávěné příběhy náhodných setkání.

Kniha plná nádherných fotografií z Prahy a Bratislavy.

baby's first year is filled with an endless stream of new experiences, contributing profoundly to their physical, mental, and emotional development. Typically at the age of one-year an infant has the motor skills and ability to sit on their own for the first time and their uninhibited gaze provides a window into a distinct personality that will endure throughout their lifetime. It is these individual natures that photographer Edward Mapplethorpe expertly captures. The culmination of a twenty-year project by one of today's top-commissioned and internationally-recognized photographers of baby portraits, "ONE"features a series of 60 photographs that catch the fleeting, yet universal, moment of life when a child reaches one year of age. There is something remarkable in the innocent faces of the children portrayed in this book that serves to underscore our common humanity. The luxuriously printed duotone photographs in"ONE"are accompanied by essays from esteemed contemporary authors Adam Gopnik, Susan Orlean, Francine Prose, and Andrew Solomon. Patti Smith contributes the book's foreword while Dr. Samantha Boardman writes the introduction. Contributions from such diverse luminaries emphasize the widespread appeal such innocent, unguarded beauty has for so many people."
