Stunning photos of Grayson Perry Masterful outfit designs Outstanding photography by award-winner Richard Ansett Witty, stylish and irreverent Perfect for fans of Grayson Perry, art, fashion and photography Join Richard Ansett for a book signing on 21st October 2023 at the Lucy Bell Gallery, St Leonards on Sea, UK Richard will be signing his book at BOP23 (Books on Photography) hosted by the Royal Photographic Society, Bristol, UK on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th October 2023 “Wow! Just wow! … It’s a really stunning thing. A love letter that is itself a work of art about a work of art that is Grayson. Both playful and deadly serious … these photos are not simply about ‘serving looks’ but about restlessness and identity and transience. That world is full of possibilities because Grayson has given himself the freedom to be whoever he wants to be, to look how he wants. His gift is that he passes that freedom to us. Ansett’s work is mind-blowing … not cosy at all. Just brilliant photography.” – Suzanne Moore “Great to see Grayson in his various guises. He must have more women’s clothes than the average woman!” — Martin Parr Grayson Perry is an award-winning artist best known in the art world for his ceramic works. To the wider public, he is perhaps equally famous for his crossdressing alter ego. This book reveals a unique relationship between Perry and renowned portrait photographer Richard Ansett through a previously unseen archive from photoshoots spanning over 10 years. Ansett astutely captures the wit, style and irreverence of Perry’s many complex personas. Beyond the snazzy outfits and cheeky poses, these thematic portrait collections offer wry social commentaries on current and popular phenomena, including the EU referendum, American pop culture and the existential questions of life and death. At once glossy, fabulous and cutting-edge, Muse: A Portrait of Grayson Perry offers a complex, fascinating and ultimately affectionate insight into our recently knighted national treasure with anecdotes and narration from Ansett himself, this is a masterpiece of rhetorical observations and quick-thinking camerawork. Perfect for art geeks, style freaks and Perry’s long-devoted following. Richard Ansett is a fine art social documentary and portrait photographer based in London, UK. His images have been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, London, his portrait of the film director David Lynch was acquired by the Smithsonian, USA, and his portrait of film director David Cronenberg acquired by the National Canadian Library and Archives. A portrait of a boy with a head injury from the Donbas region of Ukraine and a bather from the same region have been acquired by Bibliotheque National de France. His portrait BIRTH – A Portrait of Grayson Perry was awarded first prize at the Sony World Photography Awards 2019 and his series of portraits exploring the complex mental health of women prisoners and the series exploring a disappearing community in South London, Behind The Brutal Facade, 2020 were both shortlisted subsequently for the same awards. The series fat won Gold Award at PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris. Publish date 16th Oct 2023

Foreword by Grace Coddington Introduction by Robin Muir First ever collection of Willie Christie’s vibrant work Including collaborations with Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones Evocative photographs that leave the viewer enthralled Join Willie Christie in conversation at Topping & Company, Booksellers on 10th November 2023 ‘Sexy, polished and subtly sinister. His photo archive is to die for’ – The Times “It’s a surprising book of contrasts and contradictions, a paean to the fashion image of the time, one clearly influenced by the mono-chromatic asceticism of Horst and the drenched hues of Guy Bourdin.” — The Sunday Times Style “Flipping through Willie Christie’s book you can discern an artistic mood in many of his fashion clicks…” — Kathimerini Willie Christie’s photographs are far more than a record of fashion, style or contemporary culture. Dynamic, cinematic and stylish, they present beautifully observed moments within a narrative, leaving the viewer intrigued, beguiled and enthralled. His work from the heady mid-1970s remains highly relevant today, speaking to us through the uncompromising individuality and power of his compositions. And as recently as 2019, his groundbreaking series of advertising images for Medway Shoes threw another curve ball across the field of modern visual art. With a foreword by legendary Vogue style director Grace Coddington, this first ever collection of Christie’s vibrant work, re-examines the people and the styles of his original output, together with his own reminiscences from his days at Vogue and The Sunday Times, and from his collaborations with Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Willie Christie was born a while ago. During the ‘70s and early ‘80s he worked extensively as a photographer with British Vogue. His portfolio includes award-winning advertising campaigns (L'Oreal and Yves St Laurent), fashion and portrait work for international icons (e.g., Cary Grant, Grace Jones, Douglas Fairbanks Jnr, Sir John Mills, Catherine Deneuve) and Rock 'n' Roll album covers and portraits (e.g., Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed and more). After winning a series of awards and being featured in several exhibitions, the lure of film pulled him away from photographs. In 1982, he moved into the realm of writing and directing commercials and music videos, such as Pink Floyd's Final Cut and the first cinema commercial for Medway shoes. The launch of Willie’s Limited Edition Collection in 2011 marked the first time the photographer delved into his personal archives to showcase work that hadn’t been displayed for over three decades.

Pre-conflict Ukraine photography of the country and people Includes 120 full colour photographs From the collection of a widely acclaimed photographer, Paul Chesley The war in Ukraine has brought about a newfound curiosity and interest in a country that is often misunderstood. Beloved Ukraine offers a glimpse into this country before the recent conflict, as captured through the lens of National Geographic Society photographer, Paul Chesley, over the course of several years. Beloved Ukraine is a tribute to this enigmatic country and its people. Paul Chesley comes from a family of inventors, artists, and adventurers who encouraged exploration into the unknown. By the time Chesley was in his mid-twenties, he realised that he could make a larger contribution to life through his photography. For the next four decades, beginning in the early 1970s, he completed more than 35 projects around the world with the National Geographic Society. He also freelanced for numerous American and international publications. He was honoured by the inclusion of his work in the Society’s first major exhibition, The Art of Photography at National Geographic: A 100 Year Retrospective, at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Solo exhibitions of his work have appeared in museums in London, Tokyo, New York, and Honolulu. In December 2012, during the National Geographic Society’s 125th anniversary, Chesley’s work was included in their exhibition and auction at Christies’s in New York City. His greatest enjoyment is capturing the lives of people and cultures in his international projects.

Take a trip down memory lane with gas stations worldwide A collection of unique, very often never before published, historical images from public and corporate archives around the world Includes photographic material from all continents Gives an accurate and nuanced insight into the historical context of the gas station phenomenon ‘The gas station’s attractive visual qualities, multiplied by its omnipresence in the roadside landscape of the mid-20th century have made it – certainly in America – a true cultural icon.’– Thomas Vanhaute This book takes the reader on a photographic journey through time, telling the story of the roadside beacons of the automobile age: the gas stations. Starting from the very early years of motoring at the dawn of the 20th century, when cars would fill up at a primitive manual gas pump, to the iconic and sometimes bizarre structures of the heyday of the gas station concept in the 1930s through the 1950s. A concluding section looks at the afterlife of the disused gas station and investigates its adaptive reuse and position as built heritage within the historic urban landscape. Carefully selected and unique historical photographs from archives across the world give insight into the architectural and spatial elements of gasoline distribution, but equally looks into the social aspect of the gas station, as a roadside oasis where people of all walks of life would meet, during a brief stop-over. Thomas Vanhaute is a Belgian photographer and heritage consultant. He graduated magna cum laude at the University of Antwerp as a Master in Heritage Studies with a dissertation on gas stations, Station to Station.

Paolo Di Paolo shows the changing Italy of the late 1950s in an incomparable way: personal, humorous and special Many photos published for the first time from the famous reportages La lunga strada di sabbia with Pier Paolo Pasolini A unique insight into a rediscovered documentary photo archive The extraordinary picture story by Paolo Di Paolo, accompanied by texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini which documents and narrates Italians on vacation during Summer 1959, from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic Sea; from Ventimiglia to Trieste (from the western to the eastern border). In 1959 Paolo Di Paolo is a 34-year-old photographer collaborating with the cultural weekly magazineIl Mondo directed by Mario Pannunzio, and the widely distributed magazine Tempo. Pier Paolo Pasolini is a promising 37-year-old writer who had published The Best of Youth, The Street Kids and A Violent Life. He is not yet a film director. In Italy, the “economic miracle” has just begun. The newspapers tend to offer to Italian families a microcosm of mythical characters as a diversion to the dullness and fear of war, emigration, and poverty. Arturo Tofanelli, editor in chief of the monthlySuccesso and the weekly Tempo, entrusts the two young men, Di Paolo and Pasolini, who did not know each other, to do a report on the Italian Summer Holidays that will be published bySuccesso magazine in three issues (July, August and September 1959). The writer and the photographer set off from Ventimiglia together, with the plan of travelling through the coasts of Italy to the south and climbing up to Trieste. But they have different visions. “Pasolini was looking for a lost world of literary ghosts, an Italy that no longer existed,” recalls Di Paolo. “I was looking for an Italy that was looking to the future. I conceived the title The Long Road of Sand meaning the strenuous road traveled by Italians to reach well-being and holidays after the War.” A complex, delicate partnership is born between Pasolini and Di Paolo, they will travel together only the first stage of this journey, but this experience would later be consolidated in mutual respect and trust. Text in English, German and Italian. Pier Paolo Pasolini born on March 5, 1922 in Bologna (Italy), son of Carlo Alberto Pasolini, an infantry lieutenant, and Susanna Colussi, a primary school teacher from Casarsa. During his childhood and adolescence he constantly moves with his family to various cities in Northern Italy, due to his father’s career. He spends the summer holidays at his maternal home in Friuli and settles there during the Second World War. During his stay in Friuli, Pasolini’s cultural commitment sticks to the discovery of the maternal idiom as the language of poetry. In 1942 his first collection of verses in the Friulian language was released under the name Poems in Casarsa. Alongside the practice of verse, he increases his writing in prose and continues the exercise of painting. In 1950 Pasolini was forced to leave Friuli, where he works as a teacher, and shelters in Rome with his mother. The Roman years marks his commitment in many areas. In 1954 he published the volume of poems La meglio gioventù and in 1955 the novel Ragazzi di vita. The collections of poems Gramsci’s Ashes and The Nithingale of the Catholic Church will follow. In cinematography he first begins collaborating with Fellini and Bolognini and in 1961 he debuts as a director with the film Accattone. In the ‘60 and ‘70 he undertakes numerous trips abroad. He is engaged in writing theatrical scripts. Since 1973 he collaborates with the Corriere della Sera where he publishes many articles, then collected in the volumes Corsair Writings (1975) and Lutheran Letters (published after death in 1976), where he addresses Italian burning issues. In the night between November 1st and 2nd, 1975 Pasolini was murdered near Ostia’s seaplane base. Born on May 17, 1925 in Larino (Molise), Paolo Di Paolo moves to Rome immediately after the war and enrolls a course of History and Philosophy at La Sapienza University. He becomes close to the Roman art scene, in particular with the Forma 1 artists, developing his interest in the figurative arts through the photographic medium. His debut as a photographer takes place as an amateur, meaning “photographing for pleasure”. In 1954 his first photo is published in the cultural weekly Il Mondo directed by Mario Pannunzio, in which, until the newspaper closes in 1966, Di Paolo is the most published photographer. Between 1954 and 1956 he collaborates with La Settimana Incom Illustrata and in the same period he begins a long-term partnership with the weekly Tempo, which lasts until its closure. Numerous reportages are signed with the most successful journalists of the time. As an Envoy, he travels to the Soviet Union, Iran, Japan, the United States, as well as across Europe. Thanks to the friendships established in the cinema and the art world, he creates private and exclusive photos of the greatest intellectuals, artists, actors, and directors of the time; he’s mostly focused on documenting the society and people, reporting the changes from post-war to the “economic boom”. He concludes his photographic career in tandem with Irene Brin, a well-known costume journalist, focusing on fashion assignments and jet-set reportages. With the advent of television and the paparazzi, the closure of many newspapers and the gossip-oriented press, in 1968 Paolo Di Paolo decides to stop taking photographs and to devote himself to studies, curating as historian and graphic designer editions for the Arma di Carabinieri Corps.

Among the Living is a beautiful photography book that showcases the magnificent wildlife photography from Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania, Botswana, Rwanda, and Uganda taken by photographer and explorer Guadalupe Laiz over the course of six years travelling to Africa A truly beautiful collection of luxurious images, Among the Living, Where You Belong showcases the magnificent wildlife photography taken by photographer and explorer Guadalupe Laiz. For this book, Guadalupe travelled across the African continent for six years, forgoing comfort for months at a time—returning with intimate portraits of charismatic and fierce, yet often vulnerable and endangered animals. It is impossible to look at one of her photographs—really see it—and not feel her subject’s innate individuality. She spends time with these creatures up close in their natural habitats, gets to know them personally over time, and builds on trust and respect in encounters with such creatures as Big Craig, the biggest elephant tusker in Kenya, the famous Susa gorilla family in Rwanda, or Bob Jr., the majestic lion dubbed the King of the Serengeti in Tanzania—among many others, including rhinos, giraffes, zebras, leopards, and more. Her work reveals something anyone who has been around such animals at close range knows: these beasts are intelligent and self-interested. They love. They fear. They have needs and desires, and they deserve to be themselves and be seen for what and who they are. Guadalupe’s work is vital. Ultimately, Guadalupe’s efforts are to communicate through art the importance of animal abuse awareness, environmental issues, and the relevance of educating all generations to make conscious lifestyle decisions to protect our planet. Beautiful and transporting, Guadalupe’s work is also a call to action. She inspires us to become wildlife advocates, and to join conservation efforts whichever way we can. Guadalupe has partnered with nonprofits involved with environmental issues, animal abuse, and human-animal conflicts in Africa, such as the Dian Fossey Foundation, Big Life Foundation, Save Giraffes Now, and Lewa Conservancy for Rhinos, as well as engaged in humanitarian work with 4africa in South Sudan and north Uganda. Guadalupe offers this collection, a labour of love, of her encounters with this wildlife, chronicling the many linked moments she witnessed in the intimacy of their everyday journeys. Guadalupe Laiz is an international artist, photographer, and explorer. She was born and raised in Argentina, and when she was twenty years old she moved to the United States aspiring to build a photography career. Driven by the belief that art and beauty transform how people think about conservation and nature, she focuses on the environment and animals that are pure and gentle by their very nature. For more than a decade, Guadalupe amassed an extensive body of work capturing the beauty and uniqueness of the indigenous horses of Iceland, a country that has touched her deeply and which she returns to time and time again. Guadalupe’s stunning photography showcased in Horses of Iceland, her first book (published in 2019), has been exhibited all over the world. Among the Living, Where You Belong is Guadalupe’s second book, which realises Guadalupe’s personal need to share with the world the priceless beauty of Africa’s incredible wildlife. Adam Skolnick, based in the United States, is a journalist with multiple awards to his name. He traditionally covers adventure sports, travel, human interest, and the environment for the New York Times, Outside, and Lonely Planet. Adam has been the author or co-author of five books since 2014, and currently co-hosts the Rich Roll podcast. Published 9th Oct 2023

A plea for the mothers who suffered the most professionally and socially during the pandemic of the last two years and felt left alone An exciting and intimate look at the tireless female workers and their 'workplaces,' where 'time off' has always been a foreign phrase For the first time, the book addresses the equal recognition of the most important person in everyone's life Read an interview with photographer and filmmaker Karni Arieli here See the June book launch at the Royal Photography Society Join Karni at the PhotoVogue Festival, Italy for a talk on Thursday 16th November 2023 “We all have or had a mother. But does that mean we know how she thinks and feels? And what does she see? Here are heart-breaking and weird, tired, funny and above all honest looks from mothers into their everyday lives.” — Der Spiegel “A constellation of visions to remind us that motherhood comes in different forms and all of them are worthy of attention.” —Vogue Italia “The final result is stunning. A deeply moving visual feast, each image capturing the most recognizably intimate, the most fraught, the most gorgeously humdrum moment in the life of a mother, a family, a home.” — romper “Stress, love, joy—what mothers photographed during the pandemic.” — National Geographic “It’s authentic, beautiful, inclusive, tender and visceral… Finally, the complex, personal experience of motherhood is explored, examined, and celebrated in all its rich nuance.”— Aesthetica The Eye Mama book is a photographic portfolio showcasing the mama narrative and the mama gaze, what female and non-binary photographers see when they look at, and into the home. Based on the Eye Mama Project, a photography platform sharing a curated feed by photographers worldwide who identify as mamas, theEye Mama book brings together more than 150 images to render what is so often invisible — caregiving, mothering, family and the post-motherhood self — visible. Eye mama was created by BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and photographer Karni Arieli during the pandemic, when everyone around the world was in lockdown and spending more time in the home, often consumed by caregiving. The visual movement centres around the “mama gaze”, an introspective look at home and care by female and non-binary visual artists. This iconic book of photographs brings together the images from this movement, experiencing the light and dark of care and parenthood, the beauty of close-up details, love and hardship, and most importantly, the personal poetic truths of these mamas and artists. The Eye Mama book highlights the narrative of motherhood, allowing us to see for the first time in history through the eyes of mamas worldwide, because mama gaze matters!

A fly-on-the-wall account of eighties upper-class England Captures high society at its most riotous, and its most vulnerable English eccentricity makes a final stand in a changing world Follow-up to the acclaimed Oxford: The Last Hurrah ISBN 9781788840712 “…the panorama of a self-forgotten milieu.” — Monopol “Toffs behaving badly: 1980s high society in photos.” — The Times “The pictorial equivalents of Evelyn Waugh’s sentences.” — The New Yorker “Modest though he is, Dafydd’s photographs will endure for having perfectly captured a society on the brink of decline. Unmissable listening.” — Country & Townhouse podcast ?“I wondered if the party guests I’d photographed were just re-enacting a nostalgic fantasy, an imaginary version of England that already no longer existed.” – Dafydd Jones Throughout the 1980s, award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones was granted access to some of England’s most exclusive upper-class events. Now, the author of Oxford: The Last Hurrah presents this irreverent and intimate portrait of birthday parties and charity balls, Eton picnics and private school celebrations. With the crack of a hunting rifle and a spray of champagne, these photos give an almost cinematic account of high-society England at its most riotous and its most vulnerable. Against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain, globalisation, the Falklands War, rising stocks and dwindling inherited fortunes, Jones reveals the inner lives of the established elite as they party long into the night-time of their fading world. Praise for Oxford: The Last Hurrah ‘Sublime vintage photographs…’ – Hermione Eyre, The Telegraph ‘In The Last Hurrah…we see familiar faces from British high society poised on the brink of adulthood.’ – Eve Watling, Independent Dafydd Jones (b.1956) grew up in Oxford and started working for the Bodleian Library aged 16. His pictures of the Oxford University 'Bright Young Things' launched his career. With work published in the Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, Independent and Oldie, his photography is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Hyman Collection of British Photography, London; the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol; the Opsis Foundation, New York; and the Yale Museum of British Art, New Haven.

Grierson pays particular attention to the work-worn textures, stained surfaces, and subtle colours of the working steam environment. “The genuine tone of this work derives undoubtedly from the photographer’s long acquaintance with tough working men and the tools and sounds of busy engineering yard’s” – Ag magazine Robin Grierson's photographs have been published in some of the most prestigious magazines in the world including Vogue, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Guardian, and many others.

A one-of-a kind photo book: evocative portraits of Manhattan bars after closing time, lit by stray artificial lights (neon beer ads, EXIT signs, a streetlamp...) Even empty of its patrons, each bar conveys a distinctive personality Includes some 200 bars, from well-known establishments like McSorley’s and the Stonewall Inn to nameless dives Photographer Daniel Root is a respected artist whose predawn images have been featured in amNY, Spectrum News NY1, and other New York media outlets Foreword by Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men and the forthcoming Slow Road North This latest addition to Abbeville’s growing New York list is perfect for lovers of Manhattan nightlife and urban photography “Daniel Root’s photos of New York bars at dawn are a perfect blend of beauty and melancholia. Everything about them is just right.” — Roz Chast, New Yorker cartoonist “… The beautiful intersection of saturated colorful lights becomes a tapestry that fills and is faceted by the architectural details of each bar, making a magical space to be activated and a stage for our daily human dramas to play out.” — Kiki Smith, artist “I’ve always said the very best bars are inviting, whether packed or empty. Daniel Root’s amazing set of images takes you to a bar netherworld that few get to see. These photos were taken before dawn, after closing, after the porters have been there to clean up and restock the bar before the managers come back to check last night’s register ring. It’s a part of every single bar, but one that mostly goes unseen.” — Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, guitarist, producer, and former owner of the Lakeside Lounge in NYC This one-of-a-kind photo book offers evocative portraits of New York bars after closing time. Nearly every day, Daniel Root sets out before sunrise to wander the streets of Manhattan with his camera. In those comparatively quiet hours, the entire city wears a different face, but Root is particularly fascinated by the scenes to be glimpsed through the windows of its bars. Empty of patrons and illuminated by an odd mix of artificial lights — neon beer ads, red EXIT signs, a single bulb above the cash register — they present a more hushed and mysterious aspect than in the busy evening hours. Nonetheless, each one — whether a dive bar, a sports bar, or a restaurant bar — still conveys an individual character, a distinct personality. New York Bars at Dawn presents some 200 of Root’s most compelling bar portraits, ranging from well-known establishments like Balthazar, McSorley’s, and the Stonewall Inn to nameless dives and an American Legion post. A foreword by Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men, shows us just how much Root’s photographs reveal about bar culture, and an afterword by art historian Suzaan Boettger examines their aesthetic qualities. This will be an essential volume for anyone with an interest in nightlife, interiors, or urban photography. Daniel Root is a fine art photographer and a principal in the design firm The Root Group. His predawn photographs of Manhattan have attracted a devoted following among bartenders and other night shift workers, and have been featured on NY1. Root lives on the Lower East Side and is a very early riser. Rosie Schaap is the author of Drinking with Men and Becoming a Sommelier, and a frequent contributor to the New York Times. Suzaan Boettger is an art historian and critic, and the author of Inside the Spiral: The Passions of Robert Smithson. Published 3rd Oct 2023

Phil Penman shows the big city on the east coast of the USA from a side that is rarely seen, calm and tranquil.

Born in Great Britain (Poole, Dorset), he has been photographing the streets of New York for well over two decades. He is known, among other things, for his photographs of famous personalities such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez or Bill Gates.

Penman knows how to capture the city in its most sensitive moments in an impressive way. He catches intimate moments in his blackand-white photographs and shows the people and streets of New York City far away from the hustle and bustle. The city life of the metropolis is presented so closely that some pictures inevitably evoke a smile in the viewer. Penman literally catapults his viewer into the scene with a refreshing directness and the feeling of really being present. Text in English and German. UK-born, NY-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the rapid flux of New York City’s streets for over 25 years. With clients ranging from People Magazine to The Daily Telegraph, he has photographed living legends including Jennifer Lopez and Bill Gates, and captured historical moments such as the September 11th Terrorist Attacks. Penman’s distinctive style, versatility, and dedication to his craft have won him prestigious awards and exhibitions, and a distinction as one of the “52 Most Influential Street Photographers”.

Horst Hamann is one of the great pioneers of vertical city photography His book New York Vertical has sold more than 150,000 copies Well-known sightseeing highlights from an unusual perspective The coffee-table book London Vertical is a delight both for lovers of the British capital and for fans of Hamann’s work. Whether Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye or The Shard, Hamann presents all these sights, which have already been photographed thousands of times, in his own creative way and thus creates something completely new. It is fun to pick up this illustrated book again and again, because the unusual approach to the motifs is interesting for the eye and brings new details to the fore. The passionate photo artist was born in Mannheim in 1958 and discovered the camera for himself at the age of 11. Having grown up on two continents, Europe and America, he began an intensive artistic exploration of the extreme format of panorama photography in 1985. But it was not until 1991 that what Hamann’s followers adore about him today happened: He turned his camera to portrait format for the first time at the intersection of 41st Street and Avenue of the Americas and has since been called the “inventor” of vertical photography among insiders. His photographs not only testify to his great skill and compositional talent, Hamann manages in a unique way to stage well-known motifs in a completely new way. As a reader, you look at his pictures with curiosity and look forward anew to recognising the sights in each photo. Text in English and German. Published 11th Sep 2023

The great French photographer of melancholy creates a touching world of images The first monograph of the French photographer Christophe Jacrot Perfection and poetry - a unique look at extreme weather conditions When a bad weather front piles up in front of a big city, Christophe Jacrot is certainly not far away. The French photographer specifically looks for rain and snow to capture his atmospheric snapshots. The bad weather conditions give the motifs special lighting conditions. Jacrot’s subjects could come from film noir, but they are deliberately in colour. For more than a decade, the name Christophe Jacrot has been associated with the photography of landscapes (urban or natural) determined by the weather. In his work, weather conditions are always extreme: the city is seen through a windowpane dripping with rain or a curtain of snow. His images capture the beauty of megacities transfigured by the weather with perfection and poetry. In his eyes, “there are two ways of photographing the world: capturing its horror or sublimating it”. In view of his nature photography, it quickly becomes clear which he prefers. Text in English and German. Born in 1960, the French artist Christophe Jacrot has been experimenting with photography since his youth, but he first attracted attention in the world of film. He made several short films, most of which won awards. Faced with the financial constraints imposed by the film industry, Christophe Jacrot returned to photography, an art to which he now devotes himself entirely.

Fascinating: The craziest and trendiest megacity in the world in street photography Authentic: The metropolis and its people off the mainstream tourist trail Hip: Lukasz Palka, the Tokyo street photographer of the moment, allows you to experience Japan's capital city Following on from the first three books in the Unseen series about New York, London and Berlin, Tokyo Unseen is another authentic approach to one of the largest and most fascinating cities of our civilisation. The impressive coffee table book presents the city of contrasts in a fascinating honesty that only an inhabitant of this city of millions can portray in such a direct way. In unique photographs, Polish photo artist Lukasz Palka, who has lived and worked in Tokyo since 2008, succeeded in explaining his home city to strangers in pictures. The street life photographer describes his own work as a by-product of his countless walks through the city, where he constantly encounters exciting scenes and people. The magic behind his pictures lies in the chance product, because the artist never searches for his motifs, they simply come across him. In doing so, he manages to convey the fascinating contrast of the Japanese capital in an almost perfect way. For in hardly any other city do the future and the past exist so close together. Thus, the coffee-table book presents wonderful pictures of people going about their daily lives, of skyscrapers and temples and the unique culture of life that arises when 14 million people meet in a very small space. Text in English and German. Lukasz Palka was born in Poland, grew up in the USA and has lived in Japan since 2008. As an urban street photographer, he is fascinated by all aspects of the mega-metropolis Tokyo: the people, the urban infrastructure and above all the countless stories that take place in Tokyo's streets.

Iconic portraits and contact sheets from Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, Golden Eye and the Bond spoof, Casino Royale The new James Bond film, No Time to Die, releases world-wide in November 2020 Documented by one of the world's greatest photographers: Terry O'Neill Contributions from actors including George Lazenby and Jane Seymour Includes a foreword by Robert Wade and Neal Purvis, screenwriters for the latest Bond film, No Time to Die Includes rare and unseen images The perfect gift for fans of James Bond “Any man that loves Bond will love to get this amazing book in their life.” – Men’s Journal “A great coffee table book filled with amazing photos of everyone’s favourite spy.” – Tom Lorenzo, Men’s Journal “No fan of 007 will want to miss this coffee-table album…” – Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Terry O’Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O’Neill’s association with Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the era of Daniel Craig. It was O’Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O’Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O’Neill’s casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world’s most recognisable spy. Terry O’Neill opens his archive to give readers – and viewers – the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond. Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by insights from O’Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke; and newly conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in O’Neill’s photographs. Terry O'Neill CBE was one of the world's most collected photographers, with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. From presidents to pop stars, he has photographed the frontline of fame for over six decades. No other photographer has embraced the span of fame to such an extent, capturing the icons of our age from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. James Clarke is the author of numerous books on and about the world of film, including The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg, The Virgin Film Guide: War Films, The Virgin Film Guide: Coppola, Bodies in Heroic Motion: The Cinema of James Cameron and The Year of the Geek. Clarke writes for Little White Lies and has been published in Empire, Moviescope, Sci Fi Now, 3D World and 3D Artist.

120 incredible, moving photographs that reveal the power of photography Curated by leading gallerist, Peter Fetterman “There are very few books about photography that achieve the status of essential reference, maybe even seminal. Well, I believe this is one of them. Enjoy it!” — Gilles Decamps, The Eye of Photography “…the book itself will surely go down as one of the most vivid visual documents of what were arguably the most transformative one-hundred years in human history.” — Ken Scrudato, BlackBook “These photographs encapsulate the range of images that capture Fetterman’s imagination, from anonymous photographs to iconic masterworks, all with an underlying humanist spirit.”—photograph “When I photograph, I project what I’m not. What I would like to be.” — Lillian Bassman “What makes the book so enjoyable is the same as the email: It is one great image after another, with personal commentary.” — Tom Teicholz, Forbes “Although many of the images have standalone intensity, it is Peter’s direct encounters with the artists themselves that allow us to see them in a new light.” — Eva Clifford, WhyNow The power of photography lies in its ability to ignite emotions across barriers of language and culture. This selection of iconic images, compiled by pioneering collector and gallerist Peter Fetterman, celebrates the photograph’s unique capacity for sensibility. Peter has been championing the photographic arts for over 30 years. He runs what is arguably the most important commercial photography gallery in the world. During the long months of lockdown, Peter ‘exhibited’ one photograph per day, accompanied by inspirational text, quotes and poetry. This digital collection struck a chord with followers from around the world. The Power of Photography presents 120 outstanding images from the series, along with Peter’s insightful words. This carefully curated selection offers an inspiring overview of the medium while paying homage to masters of the art. From the bizarre Boschian fantasies of Melvin Sokolsky to the haunting humanity of Ansel Adams’s family portraits; from Miho Kajioka’s interpretation of traditional Japanese aesthetics of to the joyful everyday scenes of Evelyn Hofer; from rare interior shots by famed nude photographer Ruth Bernhard to Bruce Davidson’s wistful depiction of young men playing ballgames on a street; this book gathers some of the most unique and heartening photographs from the 20th century. Each image is a time capsule, offering us a glimpse into days gone past. Yet each photograph also speaks of tranquillity, peace, and hope for the future. Peter Fetterman started out as a London-based filmmaker and collector, before opening his gallery in 1994. With a focus on humanist photography, this is one of the most significant collections of 20th Century photography in the USA. The Peter Fetterman Gallery hosts celebrated images from a diverse range of photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, Ansel Adams, Paul Caponigro, Willy Ronis, André Kertesz, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Lillian Bassman, Pentti Sammallahti, Sarah Moon and Jeffrey Conley.
