Ellen von Unwerth was a supermodel before the term was invented, so she knows a thing or two about photographing beautiful women. Now one of the world's most original and successful fashion photographers, she pays homage to the world's most delectable females in Fraulein. This celebration of our era's sexiest female icons includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci and dozens more. Switching effortlessly between color and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth's photography revels in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile. Her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so enchantingly combined. These images were shot over the last 15 years and many are previously unpublished.

The legendary photographer's quintessential portraits of Paris--including several previously unpublished works--in an affordable new paperback. Robert Doisneau's ability to infuse images of daily life with poetic nuance has given enduring popular app eal to his work. In this new volume, he leads us on an entrancing tour into Parisian gardens, along the Seine, and through crowds of Parisians. Workers, beggars, lovers, jugglers, children, dancers--Doisneau's lens captures all, in myriad lights and moods. Sometimes humorous, often ironic, and unfailingly tender, his oeuvre is iconic and reflects the Paris of our dreams. Composed, structured images are featured alongside impromptu snapshots of Parisian life, demonstrating the range of Doisneau's talent as both artist and photojournalist.

Jde o sérii „dokumentárních fotografií“, které vznikaly během sedmi let v průběhu mých cest po různých částech světa – Evropy, Asie, Ameriky… Během těchto pobytů či putování jsem se snažil dokumentovat minimalistické objekty nebo přesněji řečeno předměty, které se jim podobají. Pokoušel jsem se dodržovat co nejužší a nejstriktnější tvarový výběr. Ten se finálně omezil pouze na objekty ve tvaru krychle a kvádru. Chtěl jsem zachytit stav, v jakém se současné neomodernistické myšlení nachází. Stav bez velkých idejí, kde možná existuje jakási vnitřní touha, ale ve skutečnosti převažuje pouze latentní strach z nich. „Reálný minimalismus“ má terminologicky blízko k „reálnému socialismu“ bez utopického aspektu. Tím míním to, že mapuje a vyjadřuje reálný sociální stav této rozpačité myšlenkové entity. Jsou to jakési trosky Tatlinovy Třetí Internacionály, o kterou se jako o Eiffelovku nikdo nestaral, protože na to nebyly ve východním bloku peníze ani vůle, a ta se tak časem rozpadla a její trosky byly roztahány a zrecyklovány po celém světě. Zbytky této utopie mají jinou funkci – daleko banálnější, obyčejnou a ve většině případů tajemnou, nejistou a pochybnou.

From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR, his largest book to-date, the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men. Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby. Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti’s The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men’s changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino’s eye and impeccable intuition. Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by Mario Testino, bound in Japanese cloth, and delivered in a metal slipcase.

For a decade, Ken Schles watched the passing of time from his Lower East Side neighborhood. His camera fixed the instances of his observations, and these moments became the foundation of his “invisible city.” Friends and architecture come under the scrutiny of his lens and, when sorted and viewed in the pages of this book, a remarkable achievement of personal vision emerges. Twenty-five years later, Invisible City still has the ability to transfix the viewer. A penetrating and intimate portrayal of a world few had entrance to ? or means of egress from ? Invisible City stands alongside Brassai’s Paris de Nuit and van der Elsken’s Love On The Left Bank as one of the twentieth century’s great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience. Documenting his life in New York City’s East Village during its heyday in the tumultuous 1980s, Schles captured its look and attitude in delirious and dark honesty. Long out of print, this “missing link” in the history of the photo book is now once again made available. Using scans from the original negatives and Steidl’s quadratone technique to bring out nuance and detail never seen before, this new edition transcends the original of this underground cult classic.

For the past seven years, photographer and artist Lena Herzog has followed the evolution of a new, kinetic species. Intricate as insects, but with bursts of equine energy, the "Strandbeests" or "beach creatures," are the creation of Dutch artistTheo Jansen, who has been working for nearly two decades to develop a new life-form that moves, and even survives, on its own. Set to roam the beaches of Holland, the Strandbeests pick up the wind in their gossamer wings and spring, as if by metamorphosis, into action. As if it were blood, not the breeze, running through their delicate forms, they quiver, cavort, and trot against the sun and sea, pausing to change direction if they sense loose sand or water that might destabilize their movement. Coinciding with a travelling exhibition, Herzog's photographic tribute captures Jansen's menagerie in a meditative black and white, showcasing Jansen'simaginative vision, as well as the compelling intersection of animate and inanimate in his creatures. The result is a work of art in its own right and a mesmerizing encounter not only with a very surrealist brand of marvelous, but also with whole new ideas of existence. The author and photographer: Born and raised in Russia’s Urals, Lena Herzog studied languages and literature at St. Petersburg University, before emigrating to the United States in 1990 where she studied philosophy. She began taking pictures in 1997, and has since authored the photography books Tauromaquia, Flamenco, Pilgrims, and Lost Souls. Her work has been published in The New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Vanity Fair and exhibited in Europe and the United States. The artist: Dutch visual artist Theo Jansen studied science at the University of Delft. He spent his early career painting, before deciding to strike out on a new course by making a real flying saucer which flew over Delft in 1980. Since then he has been working on the creation of the Strandbeest species. Jansen’s work has been featured in several television programs, as well as in The New Yorker, New Scientist, and Wired. The contributing author: Lawrence Weschler is Director Emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU. A former staff writer at The New Yorker, he is the author of over 15 books, including the Pulitzer-nominated Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonderand Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences, winner of the 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. He is a contributing editor at Threepenny Review, The Virginia Quarterly Review, and McSweeney's.

Stephen Shore has had a significant influence on multiple generations of artists and photographers. Even for the youngest photographers working today, his work remains an ongoing and indisputable reference point. This book copublished with Fundación MAPFRE in conjunction with the first-ever retrospective exhibition, includes over 250 images that span Shores impressive and productive career. The images range from 1969 to 2013, with series such as Early Works, Amarillo, New York City, American Surfaces, and Uncommon Places, among others. Stephen Shore: Survey elucidates Shores contributions, as well as the historiographical interpretations of his work that have influenced photographic culture over the past four decades. Both the exhibition and the narrative of the catalogue are conceptualized around three particularly revealing aspects of Shores work, including his analysis of photographic and visual language, his topographical approach to the contemporary landscape, and his significant use of color within a photographic context.

Life behind the Iron Curtain. Art and artifacts from East Germany. The history book to make history. This groundbreaking volume features hundreds of GDR political artifacts, design pieces, and everyday objects from the Wende Museum, Los Angeles, established in 2002 to study the culture of the former Eastern Bloc. From high fashion photography to secret police surveillance equipment, this extraordinary collection reveals the full scope of human experience and potential in a now-vanished world. For 40 years, the Cold War dominated the world stage. East and West Germany stood at the frontlines of the global confrontation, symbolized by the infamous Berlin Wall, which separated friends, families, and countrymen. But while the world teetered on the edge, life went on in the communist East, as it did in the capitalist West. From the outside, it seemed that life behind the Iron Curtain was gray and dull, but beneath the surface of its faded buildings, it was filled with color, texture and deeply-held convictions. The Wende Museum in Los Angeles, California, named after the period of change following the destruction of the Berlin Wall, was created in 2002 to study the visual and material culture of the former Eastern Bloc. With physical and psychic distance from political trauma and personal attachment, it aims to foster multiple perspectives and interpretations of a pivotal and multilayered history that has continues to shape our world. To commemorate the Museum's 10-year anniversary, this unprecedented and encyclopedic volume features thousands of items from its extraordinary collections, including icons of East German design and political advertisement as well as everyday objects and images from a now-vanished world. Never before has a book included this full a spectrum of art, archives, and artifacts from socialist East Germany: official symbols and dissident expressions, the spectacular and the routine, the mass-produced and the handmade, the beautiful and the ugly, and the funny and the tragic. Accompanying the featured collections are illuminating and provocative texts from scholars and specialists from Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States (Paul Betts, Andreas Ludwig, Josie McLellan, Katherine Pence, Eli Rubin, Jana Scholze, Joes Segal, Edith Sheffer, David Thomson), with themes ranging from the secret police to sexuality, space flight to flight across the border, and from monuments to mental-mapping.

Kniha Best Photographers VII je již sedmým pokračováním oblíbené série, představující čtenářům dílo uznávaných současných fotografů z různých koutů světa. Tento díl je neméně zajímavý než díly předchozí. Vznikl za spolupráce s deseti vybranými světovými fotografy. Zatímco litevský klasik Rimaldas Vikšraitis tvoří naturalistické cykly zaměřené na život na litevském postsovětském venkově, Dina Bova (izraelská fotografka a držitelka Grand Prix z Nikon International Photo Contest 2013) se věnuje atmosférickému surrealismu. Rozdílné přístupy a tedy i pestrost celé sbírky zdobí i práce mladého polského fotografa Marcina Owczarka - filosoficky hloubavé fotografické rozpravy nad světem budoucnosti, člověkem a stroji. A Zdeněk Thoma, jediný český autor zahrnutý v této publikaci, zase ohromí čtenáře svými cestovatelsko-fotografickými dobrodružstvími, když se za hluboké totality v sedmdesátých letech vydal autostopem do Japonska... Výběr Best Photographers VII je pestrý a různorodý, aby potěšil každého milovníka fotografie a představil mu to nejzajímavější ze současné světové fotografické scény.

A time for greatness. This is Norman Mailer's game-changing coverage of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. With his Hollywood good looks, boundless enthusiasm, and mesmeric media presence, John F. Kennedy was destined to capture the imaginations of the more than 70 million Americans who watched the nation's first televised presidential debate. Just days after beating out Richard Nixon by the narrowest margin in history, Kennedy himself said, "It was the TV more than anything else that turned tide." But one man begged to differ: writer Norman Mailer, who bragged that his pro-Kennedy treatise, "Superman Comes to the Supermarket," had "won the election for Kennedy." Whether or not that was the case, the article, published in Esquire magazine just weeks before polls opened, did redefine political reporting and New Journalism with Mailer's frank, first-person voice identifying Kennedy as the "existential hero" who could awaken the nation from its postwar slumber and conformist Eisenhower years. Now, TASCHEN reimagines this no-holds-barred portrait of one of America's most revered presidents on his path to the White House, publishing Mailer's essay in book form with over 300 photographs that bring the campaign and the candidate's family to life. These images were captured by some of the great photojournalists of the day - Cornell Capa, Jacques Lowe, Paul Schutzer, Stanley Tretick, Hank Walker - and appear in this volume alongside many never-before-published photos by Garry Winogrand and Burton Berinsky, providing a fascinating look at the man who declared the '60 "a time for greatness."

Dejiny slovenskej fotografie sú plné nezbadaných, polozabudnutých či celkom zabudnutých osobností. Máloktorá však bola donedávna taká neznáma ako Ján Galanda. Tak ako väčšina novodobých slovenských fotografov ani Ján Galanda nebol profesionál, v občianskom živote pracoval ako bankový úradník. Fotografovaniu sa začal venovať až v prvej polovici tridsiatych rokov 20. storočia a podobne ako iní fotoamatéri dokumentoval predovšetkým svoje mimopracovné záujmy a aktivity, cestovanie, turistiku, šport. Na rozdiel od väčšiny snímok tohto druhu sa Galandove fotografie vyznačujú precízne vybudovanou náročnou, niekedy až rafinovanou kompozíciou. Počas svojich početných ciest do zahraničia vytvoril súbor fotografií zachytávajúcich spôsob života, ktorý bol na chudobnom Slovensku skôr výnimočný. Jeho zábery predstavujú akýsi slovenský variant glamour style a v našom prostredí sú celkom unikátne.

Americký fotograf Paul Strand už v tridsiatych rokoch minulého storočia povedal, že vo svete fotografuje veľa ľudí, ktorí nemajú čo povedať. Profesionálny fotograf by však mal vždy niečo povedať a mal by vedieť, ako to povedať. Kniha doc. Pauera je určená nie len poslucháčom vysokoškolských fakúlt masmédií, ale aj profesionálnym fotografom, umelcom, peragógom a ďalšej odbornej verejnosti. Rovnako si nájde svojich čitateľov aj medzi laickou verejnosťou, pretože je to kniha napísaná s odbornou „ľahkosťou“ a obohatená farebnými umeleckými fotografiami od známych autorov.

Cítíte, že vašim fotografiím něco chybí? Minimalismus je možná správná cesta pro vás. Každý, kdo fotografuje, může ve fotografování hledat a nalézat něco jiného. Pro někoho je to potěšení ze vstávání ve 4 ráno s touhou lehnout si na dvě hodiny do studené trávy a zmrzlý čekat, až se něco objeví v mlze na hladině rybníka. Pro jiného jde o vzrušení z hektické práce ve studiu. Někoho baví jenom sledování trendů ve vývoji techniky a porovnává vlastnosti nových objektivů a jiný zase jenom čte všechno, co kde kdo napíše, nebo se věnuje filozofování o podstatě fotografování. Fotografie a zájem o ni může mít mnoho velmi odlišných podob. Mnozí z těch, kteří fotografují, se ale dříve nebo později zastaví a začnou přemýšlet o tom, proč vlastně fotografují a co pro ně fotografie znamená. Tato kniha je jedním takovým zastavením a hledáním cesty. Autor v ní nabízí minimalismus jako přístup, ke kterému sám dospěl. V jeho pojetí se minimalismus netýká pouze otázek kompozice, ale jde dále: od výběru objektů fotografování až po přístup k technickému a fotografickému vybavení. Základem všeho je odpověď na otázky: Jaký jsem vlastně fotograf? A jakým fotografem bych chtěl být? Zajímavé jsou ty části knihy, které se zabývají úvahami o estetice nebo historickém vývoji názorů na fotografii a rolí, kterou zde sehráli někteří významní fotografové. Jedná se o část dějin fotografie, o které by měl něco vědět každý fotograf. Knihu doplňuje řada fotografií, které dokreslují autorovy názory, a mnohé z nich mohou být pobídkou pro ty, kteří by k minimalistickému přístupu chtěli najít cestu.

The definitive monograph of American photographer Vivian Maier, exploring the full range and brilliance of her work and the mystery of her life, written and edited by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman; featuring 250 black-and-white images, color work, and other materials never seen before; and a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman. Vivian Maier’s story—the secretive nanny-photographer during her life who becomes a popular sensation shortly after her death—has, to date, been pieced together only from previously seen or known images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. During her lifetime she shot more than 100,000 images, which she kept hidden from the world. In 2007, two years before her death, Chicago historic preservationist John Maloof discovered a trove of negatives, and roll upon roll of undeveloped film in a storage locker he bought at auction. They revealed a surprising and accomplished artist and a stunning body of work, which Maloof championed and brought to worldwide acclaim. ?? Vivian Maier presents the most comprehensive collection and largest selection of the photographer’s work—created during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country—almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work. It features images of and excerpts from Maier’s personal artifacts, memorabilia, and audiotapes, made available for the first time. This remarkable volume draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on Maier’s photographic skill and her life.

Vivian Maier - Photographin: Das unbekannte Meisterwerk

Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shores legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take colour beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, Shores large-format colour work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition over the past thirty years. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works is the definitive collection of this landmark series. An essay by noted critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and a conversation with Shore by fiction writer Lynne Tillman examine his methodology as they elucidate his roots in the pop and conceptual art movements of the late sixties and early seventies. The texts are illustrated with reproductions from Shores earlier series American Surfaces and Amarillo: Tall in Texas.
