This book compiles spectacular photography of the Caen-based author, film-maker and photographer taken during his two stays in Japan. Born 1965 in Rouen, Pierre Faure first went to Japan in 2003 as part of his Villa Kujoyama scholarship and after his artistic examination of Paris, exploring the main cities of Kyoto, Tokyo and Kobe with his European curiosity. A short time after his first stay he returned to the country a second time in order to complete his photographic work.

Undress for history, please. The complete Pirelli retrospective

The notoriously exclusive Pirelli Calendar, featuring glamorous shots of beautiful women, was first published in 1964. Reserved for important clients and VIPs, the calendar has since grown into a legend of its own, showcasing the beauty of models such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Laetitia Casta, Cindy Crawford, Penélope Cruz, Milla Jovovich, Heidi Klum, Angela Lindvall, Sophia Loren, and Kate Moss.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the now-legendary institution that is the Pirelli Calendar, TASCHEN brings you a retrospective volume reproducing the complete calendars, photographed by Richard Avedon, Peter Beard, Patrick Demarchelier, Nick Knight, Karl Lagerfeld, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Sarah Moon, Uwe Ommer, Terry Richardson, Herb Ritts, Mario Sorrenti, Bert Stern, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, and many more.

Bonus features include rarely and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes images of the shoots, the unpublished 1963 calendar, and a selection of "censored" images deemed too risqué by the editors of the time. With an introduction by Philippe Daverio and an interview with art directors Derek Forsyth and Martyn Walsh.

Pixel Surgeons presents the very best of today's styling and illusion in fashion and lifestyle photography.

Fifty years ago fashion photography was perceived as the elitist preserve of glossy magazines across the world. Today it is part of the 21st-century lifestyle. Commuting to and from work, we are subjected to billboards and hoardings advertising well-known labels. It is now de rigueur for every tabloid to contain a fashion features page. Style magazines - for both men and women - dominate the heaving newsagent's shelves.

Media awareness and discriminating aesthetics have provoked a multi-layered language of fashion photography, and digital technology has introduced a level of image manipulation that has further enriched the genre. Today's photographic communicators offer personal visions that grab the viewer by the throat in their attempt to satisfy the market's craving for more and more imaginative imagery.

Martin Dawber presents the work of over 30 of the most exceptional new international practitioners of photography, styling, and digital manipulation, exploring their methods and influences.

No wonder Helmut Newton liked American Playboy assignments. He'd try "something a little kinky", not the familiar Centerfold style but unconventional, even dreamlike settings to make readers "feel that, under the right conditions, all women would be available." This volume for the first time presents his entire body of work shot for American Playboy, including some very hot colour photographs.

About the photographer:

Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was one of the most influential fashion photographers of all time. Born in Berlin, he arrived in Australia in 1940 and married June Brunell (a.k.a. Alice Springs) eight years later. He achieved international fame in the 1970`s while working principally for French Vogue, and over the next three decades, his celebrity and influence continued to grow. Eschewing studios, for the most part, Newton preferred to shoot in the streets or in interiors. His mixture of controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions came to form his signature look. In 1990 he was awarded the "Grand Prix National" for photography; in 1992 was awarded by the German government "Das Grosse Verdienstkreuz" for his services to German culture and was appointed "Officer des Arts, Lettres et Sciences" by S.A.S. Princess Caroline of Monaco. In 1996, he was appointed "Commandeur de l`Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" by Philippe Douste-Blazy, the French Minister of Culture. Working and living in close companionship with his wife until his death at 83, through his last click of the shutter he continued to be as distinctive and influential as ever.

Ever since Marilyn Monroe posed with “nothing on but the radio” in the 1950s, Playboy has celebrated the sensuality of the world’s biggest stars. Here, in all their glory, are some 150 breathtaking pictures of the magazine’s most famous heavenly bodies. With an introduction by Hugh Hefner himself.

With the first Centerfold, who just happened to be the radiant Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner masterminded a cultural icon: Playboy's Playmate of the Month. Now, for the first time ever, Playboy has gathered together every Centerfold from every issue into one luxurious collector's edition. That's over 600 beauties. We've reproduced these Centerfolds exactly as they appeared in the magazine to create a full-size, deluxe volume. Paging through this colossal, chronological collection provides a breathtaking view of our evolving appreciation of the female form: from the fifties fantasy of voluptuous blondes to the tawny beach girls of the seventies to the groomed and toned women of today. Housed in a handsome leather briefcase lined with velvet, this impressive tome is the ultimate indulgence for every passionate collector.

The beautiful woman celebrated on the following pages are the stuff dreams are made of - decades and decades of dreams. Even more remarkable, in the simple yet affirmative act of posing nude, they also became standard-bearers for a social revolution that began more than 50 years ago and continues-albeit in fits and starts - to the present day. The world has come a long way from the repression of the 1950s, but Americans still struggle at times with their sexual impulses. (Perhaps, more property, Americans still struggle at times with their neighbors' sexual impulses.) the lesson to be learned from these Centerfolds remains the same now at is was back in 1954: Good girls like sex, and there's nothing wrong with that. Thanks in no small part to its Playmates, "Playboy" continues to reflect the dreams of American men. These women are what makes the magazine special, which makes them truly special to me.

Mit dem ersten Playboy-Centerfold im Jahr 1953 - zufällig, oder auch nicht, war es der aufstrebende Weltstar Marilyn Monroe - hatte Hugh Hefner, Erfinder, Herausgeber und Verleger des Playboy, im"playmate of the month"einen Kultplatz für weibliche Aktphotographie geschaffen, um den sich in der Folge die schönsten Frauen der Welt reißen sollten und der dem Playboy als erotisches Magazin seine unverwechselbare monatliche Attraktion gab. Nun hat sich Playboy entschlossen, erstmals alle"playmate of the month"-Akte in einem einzigen Buch zusammenzustellen und, Seite für Seite, vor den Augen des Publikums aufzuschlagen: 625 farbige Aktphotos mit ebenso vielen entblößten Schönheiten, so wie sie im Playboy zu sehen waren, werden in zwei Buchvarianten vorgestellt: Das Luxusformat kommt im schwarzen Lederkoffer als limitierte Ausgabe im Originalformat des aufgeschlagenen Centerfold. Die Sammlung bleibt eine kolossale, fast in erotisches Delirium führende Feier des weiblichen Körpers und seiner Formen. Sie illustriert die kollektiven erotischen Phantasien, die Playboy-Leser - Männer wie Frauen - in den sechs Dekaden heimgesucht haben, und ihren Wandel. Zu jedem Jahrzehnt hat ein Schriftsteller oder eine Schriftstellerin von Rang einen einführenden Text geschrieben. So treffen Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Stella Stevens, Jenny McCarthy, Anna Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson und alle anderen Schönen auf die Poetenaugen von Robert Coover, Paul Theroux, Robert Stone, Jay McInerney, Daphne Merkin und Maureen Gibbon. Das alles macht Playboy Centerfolds in seinen zwei Ausgaben zu einem kulturgeschichtlichen Dokument von besonderem Rang. Jung und Alt, Mann und Frau - alle werden begeistert sein. Auch der Sammler von Welt wird seinen schwarzen Erotik-Koffer gerne nach Hause tragen, andere wird bereits die kleine Ausgabe als Nirvana weiblicher Schönheit überwältigen.

Мы предлагаем читателю впечатляющую историю Playboy(Плейбой), показанную изнутри, с никогда ранее не демонстрировавшимися деталями.
Все начиналось после работы. В Чикаго молодой копирайтер Хью Хефнер, дневные заботы которого состояли в активизации подписки на журнал Children's Activities, разрабатывал проект, который вырос в самый успешный и спорный журнал своего времени, столь же универсальный, как Disney и Coca-Cola. С самого первого выпуска в 1953 году Playboy находился на лезвии бритвы общественно-сексуальной революции, изменившей лицо Америки, и предлагаемые вам воспоминания представляют калейдоскоп взглядов не только на журнал, но и на общество, состояние которого он отражал и на которое влиял в течение нескольких десятилетий.
Эта книга погружает читателей в ностальгическое путешествие в прошлое - журнала и их собственное. Здесь вы найдете воспоминания о лучших знаменитостях - от Мерилин до Мадонны; интервью Playboy от Малкольмома X до Джерри Зенфилда; репортажи с Вудстока до Уотергейта; заслуживающие внимания байки от Штейнбека до Зингера; скандальный юмор от Вуди до Робина; потрясающие иллюстрации от Ваграса до Неймана; непочтительные карикатуры от Элдона Дедини до Гэхена Уилсона и социальную сатиру от Сильверстоун до Файф-фера. Вы снова посетите клубы Playboy, встретите "кроликов", заполнявших их, и артистов, которые там выступали. Вы снова переживете космический взлет империи Playboy до международного конгломерата отелей, кино, записей, книг. И вы посетите эксклюзивный женский клуб, в который входят 613 "Девушек месяца" Playboy - от соседских девчонок, собственного менеджера по подписке, троекратной Девушки с разворота журнала Джанет Пилигрим до Девушки 50-летней годовщины Playboy Колин Шэннон.
Иллюстрированная более чем 1500 фотографиями из сказочных архивов журнала, написанная и отредактированная при личном участии и поддержке Хью Хефнера, эта книга - красочное зрелище, которое спустя 50 лет предлагает бесспорные свидетельства репутации Playboy как самого продаваемого мужского журнала в мире.

For 50 years, Playboy magazine has showcased the world‘s best and brightest cartoonists. Their spectacular stable of artists includes luminaries such as Buck Brown, Jack Cole, Eldon Dedini, Jules Feiffer, Shel Silverstein, Doug Sneyd, Gahan Wilson, and hundreds of others. Hip subversives and sly revolutionaries all, Playboy‘s artists have continually proffered a sophisticated brand of humor sorely missing in other men‘s magazines.

Handpicked by Hugh M. Hefner himself, the pages are fi lled with the distillation of the entire cartoon archive, offering insightful commentary on topics from the sexual revolution to relationships, money, and politics. More than 450 cartoons feature sweet young things, terrible tarts, winsome wives, suitors, and studs - a riotous chronicle of fi ve decades of Playboy cartoons.

Playboy: Helmut Newton -- Following Playboy's celebrated fiftieth-anniversary Photographs and Cartoons comes an arresting retrospective of Helmut Newton, one of the 20th century's most influential photographers. Renowned for his carefully composed, almost cinematic shots, Newton's signature style makes for a dramatic counterpoint to the Playboy nudes known the world over. Collected between shimmering metallic covers are more than 150 color and black and white photographs. Here we see Newton's take on Playmates in Los Angeles, Nastassja Kinski playing out a fantasy with a doppelgänger doll, a Lolita-esque travelog, and more. With a foreword by Hugh M. Hefner, an introduction by celebrated writer Walter Abish, and an afterword by Playboy's director of photography for the past 30 years, Gary Cole, Playboy: Helmut Newton is the definitive book of Newton nudes.

From Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford, Linda Evans to Farrah Fawcett, Playboy has celebrated the sensuality (and even launched a few careers) of celebrities for more than fifty years. Here, in all their glory, are over 150 breathtaking photographs of the magazine's most famous heavenly bodies. Celebrity models such as Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour, Playmates Jenny McCarthy and Pamela Anderson, rockers such as Debbie Harry, and many more reveal all—posing for equally renowned photographers such as Herb Ritts and David LaChapelle. With an introduction by Hugh Hefner himself and an afterword by Gary Cole, the magazine's director of photography for the past 30 years, this definitive collection from Playboy is a potent portfolio of celebrity nudes.

With the first centerfold image of the radiant Marilyn Monroe, Hugh M. Hefner masterminded a cultural icon: Playboy's Playmate of the Month. This voluptuous new edition celebrates every nude centerfold from every issue of Playboy, from 1953 to February 2016. Initially published a decade ago, and now comprehensively updated, this must-have edition boasts 734 nude centerfolds and decade openers from literary luminaries, including an all-new essay by Elizabeth Wurtzel on the last decade of centerfolds, and a redesigned package that perfectly captures the complete cultural and aesthetic arc of the Playboy centerfold.

"Без них, - сказал Хью Хефнер, - я издавал бы литературный журнал". С ними "Playboy"(Плейбой) стал одним из самых популярных изданий своего времени, спорным культурным феноменом, который вызывает как восхищение, так и осуждение, являясь хронометром противоречивых американских сексуальных нравов. Добавив новое выражение в американский словарь - "Девушки месяца", Хефнер более полувека разжигал фантазии миллионов мужчин по всему миру, устанавливая стандарт красоты девушки-соседки, который стал эротическим идеалом и для нескольких поколений женщин.

Некоторые - такие как Мерилин Монро и Джейн Мэнсифлд - были открыты Голливудом до того, как они стали Девушками месяца. Другие, такие как легендарная Джанет Пилигрим, достигли известности именно благодаря своему появлению в журнале. Судьба героинь "Playboy" сложилась по-разному: кто-то пережил развод, болезни и несчастья; кто-то умер раньше времени. Но большинство стали успешными звездами и биржевыми агентами, писателями и телеведущими, защитниками окружающей среды, домохозяйками и матерями. Почти все они вспоминают свой опыт с большой ностальгией, а многие говорят, что этот опыт - одно из самых ярких воспоминаний их жизни.

Все они здесь, внутри: подборка из 613 Девушек месяца, начиная с самой первой девушки "Playboy" - незабываемой Мерилин Монро в декабре 1953 года до обворожительной Тиффани Фэллон (Мисс декабрь 2004) и девушек 2005 г. В этой книге представлено более тысячи фотографий из богатейших архивов журнала. Некоторые из них ранее не публиковались, многие сопровождаются современными снимками Девушек месяца и их биографиями, основанными на детальных интервью, взятых Гретхен Эдгрен.

В качестве дополнительного подарка для миллионов читателей "Playboy" Хью Хефнер открыл свой личный фотоальбом и поделился кадрами его любимых Девушек с разворота журнала и воспоминаниями о них.

Entering the universe of Bruno Poinsard means entering a world of resonance. Textures and colours set as counterpoints, chromatic correspondences, rhymes of bodies and fabric. The photographs of Bruno Poinsard ennoble the woman - a woman one can relish, one can breath in, a woman one can touch. The woman in his pictures is not an object of desire. She is desire. If she were a flower, he would let us smell her fragrance. If she were a fruit, we could taste her aroma. Her perfume wakens all of our five sences and allures us with a thousand enchantments. Looking closely at Bruno Poinsard's work you will understand how this photographer of beauty manages to stage the promised dreams for magazines so brilliantly. However, his talent expresses itself across his whole work: depicting female beauty in all its humaneness; making woman accesible without exhibiting her. Bruno Poinsard is one of the few photographers who can present the image of a woman and reveal her hidden dimension without violating her intimacy.
