Aus einigen hundert Metern Höhe und mit den Augen des Photographen Alex MacLean gesehen, erweist sich Amerika, »das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten«, einmal mehr als Vorreiter – auf dem Weg in die ökologische Katastrophe. Da werden Golfplätze, Reihenhaussiedlungen und ganze Städte mitten in die Wüste gebaut, neue Ferien-Hochburgen entstehen unmittelbar an ansteigenden und orkangefährdeten Meeresufern, Kohle- und Kernkraftwerke gewaltigen Ausmaßes beziehen ihr Kühlwasser aus natürlichen Gewässern und schicken es auch wieder dorthin zurück… Seit über 30 Jahren verfolgt MacLean von seiner Cessna aus, wie sich die Landschaft unter ihm verändert, wie sie mit Straßen zubetoniert und wuchernden Vorstädten verbaut wird, was die häufiger und heftiger werdenden Wirbelstürme anrichten und welche fatalen Folgen Bodenspekulation, ein bedenkenloses Freizeit- und Konsumverhalten und der ebenso unbedenkliche Umgang mit Energie und natürlichen Ressourcen für die Umwelt haben. In bestechend und täuschend schönen Bildern führt uns MacLean die Ursachen und Wirkungen des globalen Klimawandels am Beispiel der USA vor Augen. Sein Appell, den er auch verbal mit ausführlichen Kommentaren untermauert, richtet sich nicht nur an seine Landsleute. Wenn es darum geht, den Planeten Erde zu retten, ist die gesamte Weltgemeinschaft angesprochen – und jeder einzelne von uns. Alex MacLean, geb. 1947, ist Photograph, Pilot und Co-Autor von sieben Buchpublikationen. Seine Bilder wurden in Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in der ganzen Welt gezeigt und vielfach ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem Rom-Preis für Landschaftsarchitektur der American Academy in Rom. Er lebt in Masschussetts. Bill McKibben, der Verfasser des Vorworts, ist Wissenschaftsjournalist und Autor von zwölf Büchern über Umweltfragen und alternative Energien. Er schreibt regelmäßig u.a. für The New Yorker, Harper’s und National Geographic. Er lebt in Vermont.

About the Author:

Horacio Pagani is the founder of Pagani Automobili S.p.A., a specialty car manufacturer. At just 20 years old, he made his debut into the world of racing cars by creating a car for Formula 3, which competed in Argentina with the official Renault team. After starting out in rural Argentina, he worked for Renault and Lamborghini and eventually set up his own luxury car company in Modena.

Born in Ravenna, Italy, in 1947, Paolo Roversi discovered photography at the age of seventeen. A chance meeting with photographer Peter Knapp led him to move to Paris in the early 1970s, where he first encountered the world of fashion. His career truly began when he became an assistant to Laurence Sackman, who taught him the photographer’s craft.

Based in Paris for more than thirty years, Roversi is famed for his use of large-format Polaroid film to capture images of ethereal beauty, vulnerability and romanticism. Working in evocative monochrome or carefully articulated colour, he collaborates regularly with the world’s top supermodels and designers, and has shot for many leading fashion magazines and international ad campaigns.

This is the story in pictures of a dimension of living that differs from every other. While there have been attempts to create a philosophy of interior design, there has rarely been an effort to discover the soul of furniture and objects. That is what Paolo Roversi has tried to do with his camera in these pages, which are devoted to Poliform, the Italian company that has successfully transformed ancient Italian artisanal traditions into contemporary furniture. By using what have always been his raw materials time, light, space Roversi leads us on a photographic journey to the middle of the Poliform universe, helping us to relive the company s story and capture the mysterious, unmistakable soul that makes the surfaces and volumes of its objects vibrate.

The metropolis of Paris, presented with Serge Ramelli’s dramatic vision

Paris is the City of Light, love, and savoir vivre. And this world-class capital is surely one of the planet’s most photographed destinations, whether by tourists snapping a quick souvenir shot or professionals with high-end cameras. The brief preview we provide here shows how special this city really is. Paris has never been showcased as impressively, meaningfully, or dramatically as it is by the French photographer Serge Ramelli. His vision of the city — like all of his images — is unmistakably inspired by cinema. In addition to his second passion, filmmaking (which he does when he’s not taking pictures), he is also fascinated by the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Ridley Scott. Ramelli’s interpretation of the bustling metropolis of Paris is at once impressive and fabulous. Pulsing with life both day and night, the city appears nearly devoid of people — a heavily symbolic place with many facets to explore, shining with an inimitable light.

 - Film and photography meld into a black-and-white work of art

He is represented by YellowKorner, the leading publisher of art photography, with more than 78 galleries worldwide.

This comprehensive volume examines Tinseltowns fascination with the City of Light, from silent movies through to modern blockbusters.

Romantic, elegant, and enticing, Paris has fascinated American filmmakers for over a century. As habile in accommodating a romantic comedy or mystery as it is in hosting an action-packed thriller, it is by far the foreign city that appears most frequently in Hollywood movies.

In Paris by Hollywood, essays by eminent film experts and commentators uncover Hollywoods role in the cultivation of now timeless Parisian clichés, examining seminal films such as An American in Paris, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Sabrina. Chapters on Audrey Hepburns Parisian persona; Disneys and Woody Allens personifications of Paris; Hollywoods depictions of the French Revolution; and the American fascination with the enigmatic, glamorous Parisienne explore a cultural relationship that owes as much to the allure of Paris itself as to Hollywoods desire to paint a picture of European exoticism.

Interviews with eminent filmmakers and actors including Martin Scorsese, Julie Delpy, and Leslie Caron bring us behind the scenes and provide intimate insiders perspective. Insightful analysis explores the reasons why Hollywood has invested and continues to invest so much in depicting the French capital; an often mutually-beneficial economic and cultural relationship.

Covering over 100 years of movie-making, from silent films to the animated world of Disney, via Cancan films and action-packed blockbusters, Paris by Hollywood is the perfect companion for lovers of American cinema and those captivated by the magic of the French capital.

At once cosmopolitan metropolis and venue for a pensive stroll, Moloch and emblem of the modern, Paris has been a source of inspiration for countless artists and writers down the ages. But not least it is the home and constant muse of a relatively young art: photography. Since the earliest days of the daguerreotype right up to our time, renowned photographers such as Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Jeanloup Sieff have lived and worked in the city of lights. Over the years a love affair developed between Paris and photography, giving rise to a remarkable record of the metropolis and a telling history of a new art form. This volume takes the reader on numerous walks, camera in hand, through the streets of Paris. Atmospheric black-and-white photos, shot by great photographers over two centuries, reveal the dramatic and the tranquil, the historic and the everyday—in the capital’s parks and gardens, boulevards and backstreets, passages and arcades, bistros and nightclubs.

In the footsteps of George Brassaï and with a beautiful model on her side, French photographer Véronique Vial leads us through Paris at night. The contrast between nocturnal shadows and imperial illuminations, between the architecture in stone and the flesh of the body creates a mesmerizing play of voyeurism and exhibitionism, with Paris as the fitting, magical stage.

In den Fußstapfen von George Brassaï und mit einem schönen, nackten Model an der Seite führt uns die französische Photographin Véronique Vial in Paris Naked durch eine Pariser Sommernacht. Ihre Sammlung betörender Bilder hat zwei Sujets: die schöne, erotische Visionen, Träume und Empfindungen provozierende Frau und die Stadt Paris bei Nacht, wo dunkle Schatten und prunkvolle Beleuchtung aufeinander treffen. Der Kontrast zwischen der Architektur in Stein und dem weiblichen Körper aus Fleisch und Blut erzeugt ein faszinierendes Spiel zwischen Voyeurismus und Exhibitionismus. Die magische Stadt Paris ist die perfekte Bühne für die erotischen Phantasien im Auge des Betrachters auf einem langen nächtlichen Spaziergang zwischen Montmartre und Montparnasse. Véronique Vial lebt seit 1989 in Paris. Bekannt für ihre beiden Photobuch-Bestseller Women before 10 a.m. und Men before 10 a.m., ist Vial als Celebrity-, Reise-, Modeund Musikphotographin tätig und arbeitet regelmäßig mit dem kanadischen Cirque du Soleil.

This pictorial tribute to one of the world's most beautiful and romantic cities offers a unique introduction to the "City of Light". Award-winning photographer Horst Hamann used a panoramic camera to painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dame's gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center-even the Eiffel Tower. His efforts have produced an astonishing array of images, stark black and white compositions that lend these photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique, vertical reinterpretations of some of Europe's most recognizable cityscapes.

L'air de Paris. The vivid history of the capital of love and photography

A city built on two millennia of history, Paris is entering the third century of its love story with photography. It was on the banks of the Seine that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth to this new art that has flourished ever since, developing a distinctive language and becoming a vital tool of knowledge.

Paris, Portrait of a City leads us through what Goethe described as a “universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street”. The history of Paris is recounted in photographs ranging from Daguerre’s early incunabula to the most recent images – an almost complete record of over a century and a half of transformations and a vast panorama spanning more than 600 pages and 500 photographs. This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Images captured by the most illustrious photographers – Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more – but also by many unknown photographers, attempt to bottle just a little of that “Parisian air”, something of that particular poetry given out by the stones and inhabitants of a constantly changing city that has inspired untold numbers of writers and artists over the ages.

Presenting an exciting patchwork of images from past and present, Paris, Portrait of a City is a huge and unique photographic study that, in a way, is the true family album of all Parisians. It is to them, and to all lovers of this capital city, that this vibrant, loving and tender testimony is dedicated.

- Huge and unique photographic study of Paris featuring over 150 celebrated photographers, including Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more
- More than 500 images of the history of Paris, sourced from dozens of archives and private collections
- Also included: an index of photographers’ biographies
