Ján Galanda
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.
Kapitoly o fotografii
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.
Minimalistický fotograf
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.
Vivian Maier A Photographer Found
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.

Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shores legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers.

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.

This lavishly produced work spans the globe, bringing the beauty of the planet's fast-disappearing landscapes, wildlife, and cultures into stunning focus. Containing unpublished work from throughout Wolfe's widely celebrated career, "Earth Is My Witness" offers a riveting and comprehensive look at the world's ecosystems and geographical regions.

The Art of Pin-up
One big slice of cheesecake. Pin-up travels the long road from barracks wall to high art. In the 15 years since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today. Pin-up: drawings, paintings and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display, was produced between 1920 and 1970, for use on calendars, and magazine covers and centerfolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious. Today it s popularity is huge, and ripe for an equally huge and truly comprehensive collector s edition. Formidably sized, The Art of Pin-up is an impressive book that will be coveted by casual fans as well as hardcore pin-up collectors. The top 10 artists are profiled in depth. Each chapter opens with a tipped-in reproduction of an original calendar or magazine cover by that artist. The reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches that follow largely sourced from the original art invites the viewer to trace the brush strokes, while the exquisite period calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the artists creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed on-site at the historic Brown & Bigelow Company, home to the world s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars. In addition to the chapters on the 10 featured artists, the book includes thumbnail bios and representative art of 80 additional artists, the most complete compendium of pin-up artists ever compiled. All this adds up to a hard-to-beat book on this popular subject.

Audrey Hepburn Photographs 1953-1966
Our Fair Lady. The many facets of Hepburn's beauty, on and off set. In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby took iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda, but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject: Audrey Kathleen Ruston, later Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston, best known as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still, but when he met the Belgian-born beauty, Willoughby was enraptured. "She took my hand like...well a princess, and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal men's hearts," he recalled. As Hepburn's career soared following her Oscar-winning US debut in Roman Holiday, Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburn's beauty and elegance, as she progresses from her debut to her career high of My Fair Lady in 1963. Willoughby's studies, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors, and returning to her private life, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of the 20th century's touchstone beauties.
Age of Innocence Football 1970s
It was Pelé who coined the phrase “the beautiful game”, and in the 1970s the gamewas at its most beautiful, free-flowing and entertaining. Football became truly international thanks to extraordinarily talented teams and charismatic players who became the first generation of football superstars, long before David Beckham stripped down to his underwear.
This book tackles the global and cultural impact of the game, the memorable fashions, the girlfriends, the cars, the politics, the fans, the hooligans, the passion, the thrills and, of course, the sideburns. It’s a joint celebration of the world’s most popular sport and the sizzling 70s – including the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, the first football championship televised in colour, and won by the legendary Brazilian side led by Pelé; the 1974 World Cup, dominated by the intense rivalry between the powerful West German side and the “Total Football” of the Dutch team; the 1978 World Cup, hosted and won by Argentina; and the extraordinary club sides such as Ajax, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and the New York Cosmos.
The Age of Innocence features photography by Neil Leifer, Peter Robinson, Gerry Cranham, Terry O’Neill, Volker Hinz, Jerry Cooke, Harry Benson, Sven Simon, and many others, as well as images sourced from archives all over the world, and essays from award-winning football writers Rob Hughes, David Goldblatt, Brian Glanville and Barney Ronay.

Early black and white
The distinctive iconography of Saul Leiter's early black-andwhite photographs stems from his profound response to the dynamic street life of New York City in the late 1940s and 50s. While this technique borrowed aspects of the photo-documentary, Leiter's imagery was more shaped by his highly individual reactions to the people and places he encountered. Like a Magic Realist with a camera, Leiter absorbed the mystery of the city and poignant human experiences. Together with Early Color (2008), also published by Steidl, Early Black and White shows the impressive range of Leiter's early photography.
