Paolo Roversi
Developed and designed in close collaboration with Paolo Roversi himself, this definitive monograph surveys the last fifty years of the photographer's distinctive output.
Arriving in Paris from Ravenna in 1973, Paolo Roversi produced his first series of photographs in 1977, which were immediately picked up by the fashion press. From then on, he devoted himself to fashion photography, working for the greatest designers and for the most prestigious magazines, simultaneously occupying a position both at the heart of the fashion world and far from its ephemeral trends.
Ultimately in search of pure beauty, he formulates timeless and mysterious work, which is defined by his choice of studio and use of large format and Polaroid cameras. At the heart of his photography are his dedicated relationships with fashion designers and models, most famously with Yohji Yamamoto, as well as Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo and Dior, and these fruitful collaborations have allowed Roversi to continuously challenge and renew his practice.
Conceived and designed in close collaboration with the photographer, and drawing on his archives, this book features many original prints, including some that have never been seen before. Spanning the entirety of Roversi's career, it explores his approach to his creative space and the way he treats it like a theatre stage, constantly reinventing it to suit each new collaboration.
Amos Badertscher Images and Stories
The long-awaited first career survey from photographer Amos Badertscher, who comprehensively documented a uniquely American queer underworld
Across several decades, self-taught photographer Amos Badertscher (1936-2023) made thousands of photographs of a liminal queer world: young male sex workers, drag performers, trans pioneers, and Baltimore, Maryland's inclusive, ribald nightlife. The encounters with these marginalized figures helped Badertscher understand his own queer identity and reveal a confident body of work that stakes out an important corner of queer art and aesthetics.
Made between the 1960s and early 2000s, the photographs featured here constitute an unparalleled chronicle of a culture of the era particular not only to Badertscher's hometown, but universally identifiable, one which began to fade with the movement of LGBTQ+ rights and liberation. The hundreds of images are accompanied by Badertscher's writings about the history and experiences of his subjects, further illuminating the intimate inner lives of people who were frequently dismissed, feared, and objectified by mainstream culture. Amos Badertscher Images and Stories is a landmark introduction to a figure who is now finally receiving his due as a major twentieth-century portraitist and chronicler of queer subculture.
Robert Vano: Pro Tebe
Konečně je tady! Kniha, ke které mě dlouho přemlouvali moji přátelé i kolegové. „Roberte, proč neuděláš knihu, která by chronologicky, od začátku do konce, rekapitulovala tvůj život?“ ptali se mě a já jsem cítil, že jestli má ta kniha vzniknout, vznikne v ten správný okamžik. „Poslední velká kniha“ Roberta Vana vychází teď. V ten správný okamžik, jak s oblibou fotograf říkává, „mezi třicítkou a smrtí“. Třísetstránková fotografická biografie je inspirovaná životem. Jeho křehkostí, smrtelností a nevyzpytatelností. Kniha Robert Vano nese pouze jméno autora. Dokumentuje sedm dekád fotografova života a jeho uměleckou kariéru. Je sestavena z barevných i černobílých snímků a doplněna o autentický text, který vznikl z rozhovorů s Robertem Vanem. Společně s fotografiemi vypráví poutavý příběh s otevřeným koncem. Velká část snímků pochází z doposud nepublikovaného osobního archivu fotografa a z originálních kinofilmů, které čekaly na znovuobjevení více než padesát let

Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. Porsche Racing Moments
In 1962, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch had his first experience of motorsport – the 1,000 km at the Nürburgring – and it was this that sparked a lifelong passion for both Porsche and racing that still burns today.
Beginning in 1963, this wholly captivating collection of breathtaking shots transports you to another time and another world, taking you on a journey through the history of Porsche endurance racing, from Le Mans to Monza, via the Targa Florio and Spa-Francorchamps. And with his own words accompanying the pictures, Schlegelmilch shows and tells fascinating stories from track and trackside.
Naturally, the cars are the heroes of this book – there’s a genuine love of Porsche cars on these pages, a real admiration in pictures for each evolution of the legendary designs. From the purpose-built prototypes of the mid-60s – the 550, 718, RS and RSK models – followed by the more powerful 907 and 908, and through to arguably the most iconic racing car designs of all time, the 917, the 962 and of course the ageless 911, this is Schlegelmilch’s pictorial love letter to his own "Porsche Racing Moments".
He pays tribute to each of them with his unique zoom technique, that converts the movement and phenomenal speed of the racing cars into a totally absorbing and almost dizzying feast of depth and energy. Whether it’s in black and white or colour, it’s as if you can feel the rush of air on your face as the cars speed by.
But while this book is perfect for those who live and breathe Porsche, there’s more to it than the cars. From the shots of experienced teams to the drivers deep in conversation, from the greasy hands of the mechanics tinkering under the hood to the stained and cracked track, Schlegelmilch takes you to the real racing world, behind the glamour and into the dusty, oil-scented universe of motorsport.
Ralph Gibson. Photographs 1960–2024
Travelling widely, Ralph Gibson works primarily in inspired series, associated image reveries in both monochrome and colour, whose titles -The Somnambulist, Déja-Vu, Days at Sea, and Chiaroscuro-underline the particular poetic sensibility that informs his work. Starting out in 1960 with Dorothea Lange, he made his way to New York in 1967 and was soon considered in the same light as the likes of Larry Clark and Diane Arbus. The photographs and series can of course speak for themselves. But for Gibson there is a philosophy at play behind the image, and in the included short texts he proposes his thesis. Nudes, portraits, still lives, narratives-loyal to his Leica, Gibson ranges between genres and creates new categories of vision. He gets closer to things and meditates on them in a way that only the silence of the image can attempt.Produced in close collaboration with the artist, this book offers the fruit of more than six decades of image-making. From Gibson’s first photographs in San Francisco, Hollywood, and New York in the 1960s right up to the present day, this is the most comprehensive collection of this highly acclaimed photographer.

American Nature
Twenty years of images by the acclaimed American photographer, pioneer of color art photography.
Mitch Epstein (Holyoke, Massachusetts, 1952) is a photographer who helped pioneer fine-art color photography in the 1970s. Focusing primarily on America as a place and an idea over the last five decades, Epstein produced iconic images of his country and immersive, visually arresting stories on the urgent political and cultural challenges America has to face as a nation. American Nature presents three seminal series (American Power, Property Rights and Old Growth) and premiers two multimedia works: Clear Cut, a projection of Darius Kinsey’s early 20th century photographs of logging in the Pacific Northwest forests of the United States set to a modern soundtrack; and Forest Waves, a multi-channel video-sound installation made in the old growth forests of Massachusetts.
The book is an inquiry into the consumption of resources by American industry and the risks that individuals undertake to preserve what is left of precolonial land for future generations. It includes a selection from all three photographic series, Darius Kinsey’s photographs from Clearcut and film stills from Forest Waves. Together, they tell the story of the resilience and fragility of the natural world. Also included are essays by acclaimed art historians Makeda Best and Robert Slifkin and curator Brian Wallis, and an in-depth interview between Wallis and Epstein, which delves into the artist’s practice, and his evolving artistic and political resolve.

The Synthetic Eye
An essential investigation into the murky ethics of AI, one that calls into question the future of photography.
Artificial Intelligence is driving a fourth industrial revolution and, as The Synthetic Eye shows, the centre will not hold.
How can we believe or trust the images we are being shown? What role do photographers, the media and technology companies have in upholding the authenticity of photographs? Can synthetic imagery be utilized to enhance our understanding of our world?
A revelatory roadmap of today’s image universe, The Synthetic Eye explores how Artificial Intelligence has fundamentally transformed our sense of the real, the possible and the actual. Arranged into seven distinct chapters, it interrogates AI’s engagement with history, how it has changed our understanding of reality, and the positive opportunities and dystopian scenarios that lurk beneath the surface of artificially generated images.
