Winner of three 2020 International Photography Awards and named Photographer of the Year from the Tokyo International Awards, explorer Sebastian Copeland's stunning photography delivers unparalleled access to the least explored continent on Earth and galvanizes our awareness of the threats of global warming.

Antarctica's ice sheet is a powerful entity, alive and dynamic. It is up to three million years old; its mass is constantly and imperceptibly moving, finally calving to the sea. Deep in the heart of the continent is a barren desert of snow, while the coast teems with life: the dominion of whales, birds, penguins, and seals, which had previously evolved outside of human contact.

Until recently, scientists thought Antarctica had remained mostly untouched by climate change. But now they have warned that the ice is indeed melting-- and quickly. "My research there gave me a deeper perspective of the subtle variations taking place at the hands of climate change," says Copeland. "The images I bring back tell the story of a changing envi- ronment that spells the oncoming redrawing of the world's map, and all that it implicates."

About the Author:

In 2017, Sebastian Copeland was named one of 25 of the world's top adventurers of the last 25 years. With approximately 5,000 miles under his skis in the polar regions, Copeland has led numerous expeditions to document the endangered ice, reaching both the North and South Poles on foot. Copeland was twice named Photographer of the Year and has addressed the U.N., governments, universities, and Fortune 500 companies to warn of the systemic transformations taking place in the polar regions and their geopolitical consequences. In 2019, Copeland was awarded by French President Emmanuel Macron the National Order of Merit. He is a fellow of the Explorers Club and spent 15 years on the Board of President Gorbachev's NGO Global Green USA.

Ara Gallant was born Ira Gallantz in 1932 in the Bronx, but later changed his name because he felt Ara Gallant sounded more exotic. And the life he led was, indeed, an exotic one. Gallant started his career in fashion as a hair-dresser, working at Bergdorf Goodman as one of the city's top colorists. In the mid-1960s he was approached by Vogue and began working exclusively as a hairstylist on photo assignments. In fact, he was the first hairstylist to be paid for such work. Gallant worked with many of the great fashion photographers of the period, including Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Bert Stern, among them. His most notable contribution was the introduction "flying hair" a visual gimmick he first used on an Avedon shot with Twiggy in 1966. The effect is still widely copied today. By the early 1970s, Gallant began shooting pictures himself. His first assignment was celebrity portraits for Interview magazine. His work often juxtaposed classic Horst-like compositions with contemporary scenarios. In the early 1980s, Gallant moved to L.A. to lead with his friend Jack Nicholson and to pursue a directing career. It never happened, in 1990 he committed suicide in a hotel room in Las Vegas.

As well as Anjelica Huston's introductions, this book features contributions from Polly Mellen, Veruschka, Penelope Tree, Diane Von Furstenberg, Lauren Hutton, Viva, Bert Stern, Apollonia Van Ravenstein, Paul Van Ravenstein, Pat Cleveland, Ingrid Boulting, Shelley Smith, Steven Meisel, Susan Forristal, Bob Colacello, Brigid Berlin, Barbara Lantz, David Croland, Paul Morrissey, Martin Price, Jo Anne Davidian, Drew Barrymore, Russell Todd, Virginia Hey. Australian born David Wills is an independent curator, photographic preservationist and editor who has accrued one of the world's largest independent archives of original photographs, negatives and transparencies. He has contributed material to many publications and museums, including The Museum of Modern Art, and in 2002 edited "Bernard of Hollywood's Ultimate Pin-Up Book" (Taschen). Most recently, Wills has produced a series of photography exhibitions based primarily on images from his archive. His shows include "Edie Sedgwick: Unseen Photographs of a Warhol Superstar", "Murder, Models, Madness: Photographs from the Motion Picture Blow-Up", "Blonde Bombshell", "James Bond" and "Warhology", and have received major profiles in The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, American Photo and Vogue. In 2008 Wills co-authored "Veruschka" (Assouline).

Чудова монографія про фотографа Ара Гюлера, відомого як «Око Стамбула».

Будучи свідченням багатої історії Туреччини,A Play of Light and Shadow пропонує сучасний погляд на творчість Ґюлера, а також надає можливість дослідити її знакові та невідомі частини.

З текстовими внесками історика мистецтва Кім Нопперс, куратора та керівника відділу фотографії Istanbul Modern, Демет Йилдіз Дінчер, фотографа та кінорежисера Ахмета Полата та Клаарт’є ван Дейк, куратора та керівника виставок у Foam в Амстердамі.

Про фотографа:

Народився 16 серпня 1928 року Ара Гюлер, турецький фотожурналіст, також відомий як «Око Стамбула». Його батько був власником аптеки, але мав багато друзів, які належали до світу мистецтва. Ара познайомився з цими людьми, і вони надихнули його вибрати кар’єру в кіно/кінематографі. Він працював на кіностудіях і вступив на курси драми під керівництвом Мухсіна Ертугрула. Пізніше він схилився до журналістики і закинув кіно. У 1950 році він приєднався до Yeni Istanbul, турецької газети, як фотожурналіст. У той же час він вивчав економіку в Стамбульському університеті. Потім почав працювати в Hurriyet.

У 1958 році, коли американське видання Time-Life відкрило свій філіал у Туреччині, Ара Гюлер став його першим кореспондентом. Невдовзі він почав отримувати замовлення від інших міжнародних журналів, таких як Stern, Paris Match і Sunday Times, Лондон. У 1961 році він був прийнятий на роботу в журнал Hayat на посаду головного фотографа.

У цей час він познайомився з Марком Рібу та Анрі Картьє-Брессоном, які залучили його до Magnum Photos. Ара була представлена ​​в 1961 році в British Photography Yearbook. У тому ж році Американське товариство журнальних фотографів прийняло його першим турецьким фотографом, який став членом цієї організації.

У 1960-х роках роботи Ара використовувалися в книгах відомих авторів як засіб ілюстрації та демонструвалися на різних виставках по всьому світу. У 1968 році його роботи були представлені в Музеї сучасного мистецтва в Нью-Йорку на виставці під назвою «Десять майстрів кольорової фотографії». Крім того, його фотографії також були показані на ярмарку в Кельні Photokina в Німеччині. Через два роки в Туреччині вийшов його фотоальбом. Його зображення, пов’язані з мистецтвом та його історією, були представлені в таких журналах, як Horizon, Life, Time та Newsweek.

A young woman with her legs spread wide; buttoned-up dressed workers on a city street. Contrasting photos like these of intensely private scenes, and snapshots of nameless passers-by are Nobuyoshi Araki’s early commentary on the heterogeneity of Japanese society, calling the moral responsibility of its members into question. This book combines Araki’s Tokyo series from his early works with a selection of his recent Polaroid collages and newly developed slide shows — all of them exploring the contradictions between anonymity and intimacy, the public and private sphere, reality and dream.

The legendary Araki is one of the most influential and widely discussed artists today, one who deals with nakedness, sexuality and the body in a radical and realistic way. Through an extreme emotional and physical closeness with his subjects, he becomes not only part of their lives but plays a central role in his own photos, thus transcending voyeurism. Together with Nan Goldin, Larry Clark and Boris Mikhailov, Araki is considered one of the pioneers of intimate subjective photography.

Art is all about doing what you shouldn’t. Nobuyoshi Araki 

About the Author:

Born in Tokyo in 1940, Nobuyoshi Araki worked in advertising after completing his studies in photography and film at Chiba University in Tokyo; he devoted himself exclusively to photography from the mid-1960s. Araki’s oeuvre spans erotic portraits of women, artificial still lifes, images of plants, documentary-style depictions of everyday life, architectural photography, as well as diaristic photos of himself and his deceased wife Yoko. He has published around 400 books, shown in many international exhibitions, and his work is part of important collections worldwide. Araki lives and works in Tokyo.

The definitive monograph of Ari Marcopoulos, the renowned photographer whose explicit and startling visual intimacy bridges art and street photography. For nearly four decades, Ari Marcopoulos has broken conventions with his candid and raw style. His photographs documenting subcultures such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and hip-hop; his tendencies to photograph stark landscapes, portraits of artists, and celebrities; and his extremely quiet and intimate photos of his family and friends have all been hugely influential in helping to establish the visual rawness of youth culture, as well as the ephemeral aesthetic of contemporary photography. Ari Marcopoulos: Not Yet is an unprecedented journey through the artist’s celebrated career, from skateboarding and snowboarding to rural landscapes and cityscapes. This volume includes both iconic and never-before-published photographs from the 1980s to now. Each chapter is edited by a different celebrated artist or family member — all close to Marcopoulos — and it is through these personal reflections on the artist’s work that this monograph takes on a deeper level of intimacy, drawing a more complete portrait of his oeuvre.

About the Author:

Ari Marcopoulos is an artist whose photographs and films have been exhibited, collected, and published around the world. Robert Slifkin is an associate professor of fine arts at the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. Catherine Taft is a writer and curator based in Los Angelese. Neville Wakefield is a curator and writer on contemporary art and culture.

This fine-art book discusses the phenomenon of LGBTIQ+ refugees, asylum seekers, and those subject to discrimination in their home countries based on their gender or sexual orientation.

More the 40 percent of the countries in the world today still impose prison sentences or the death penalty just for being LGBTIQ+. Asylum is an international project that arose from a collaboration between five associations around the world and photographer Umberto Nicola Nicoletti.

Through the use of beautiful “glossy images,” such as those used in fashion and advertising, the project seeks to engender empathy for the subjects involved and their stories. Asylum seekers become celebrities, idols, and heroes as they are. Therefore, it is not photographic reportage but, rather, an art project focused on restoring their dignity.

LGBTIQ+ refugees often face double discrimination: in their home country and in their destination, as they are both immigrants and LGBTIQ+. This is especially true in refugee camps, where they are subject to assaults by other migrants. The aim of this project is to give these individuals the identity they are often deprived of when they are reduced to an indistinct mass — and to show the world their true beauty.

About the Author:

Umberto Nicola Nicoletti is an Italian photographer and director. He specializes in portrait photography in the fields of advertising, music, fashion, and publishing. He has created international ad campaigns, commercials, book covers and music videos. Filippo Grandi is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

A glorious and nostalgic celebration of a defining period in American car culture — the 1950s to the 1970s, the golden age of Detroit’s icons of the road — when automobile design was at its peak and the car itself was synonymous with a vision of success in America.

Auto America offers a compelling look at three decades (the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s) of America’s fascination with the automobile. At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are transforming driving around the world, John G. Zimmerman’s pictures capture the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American car culture.

Many of Zimmerman’s photographs were originally taken for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and highlight diverse aspects of America’s auto industry at its zenith; they feature not only iconic cars of the era, which Zimmerman chronicled comprehensively at car shows and in-studio assignments throughout the period, but also a behind-the-scenes look at the people who designed, built, collected, exhibited, and raced them.

With more than 200 photographs and drawing on the John G. Zimmerman Archive’s collection — including his best-known photographs of Fords, Chryslers, and GMs in their heyday alongside ephemera, tear sheets, and outtakes from his assignments — the book celebrates the automobile’s central place in American culture during those decades when the timeless silhouettes of classic cars ruled the roads.

About the Author:

John G. Zimmerman (1927–2002) has been recently rediscovered as a unique chronicler of twentieth-century American culture. His photographs appeared frequently in Sports Illustrated, Life, and other major newspapers and magazines from the 1950s through the 1980s, and his work has been published in books including America in Black and White and Crossing the Line: Arthur Ashe at the 1968 US Open. Linda, Greg, and Darryl Zimmerman are the children of John G. Zimmerman and the curators of the photographer’s archive. Terry McDonell is a writer and editor, and the former Editor of the Time Inc. Sports Group.

A gorgeously illustrated look at the profound influence that classical ballet and the ballerina have had on high fashion

Ballerina: Fashion’s Modern Muse is a revelatory, irresistible treat for dance aficionados and fashionistas alike. Couturiers such as Balmain, Balenciaga, Chanel, Schiaparelli, Charles James, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent designed ballet-inspired dresses and gowns, many featuring the boned bodices and voluminous tulle skirts of classical tutus. American ready-to-wear designers such as Claire McCardell found inspiration in ballet leotards and other practice clothing, creating knitted separates, bathing suits, and wrap dresses.

Written by fashion and ballet experts, the book is illustrated with archival photography by such masters as Richard Avedon, Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, Man Ray, and Cecil Beaton, along with newly commissioned photography of contemporary ballerinas wearing ballet-influenced couture.

About the Author:

Patricia Mears is deputy director of The Museum at FIT. Laura Jacobs is a dance critic, fashion writer, and novelist. Jane Pritchard is curator of dance, theatre and performance at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Rosemary Harden is manager of the Fashion Museum in Bath, England. Joel Lobenthal is a dance critic and historian.

The first book of photography to be published by the Academy Award-winning film director and photographer Spike Jonze. Will appeal to every fan of Beastie Boys and golden-era hip hop, as well as photography and Spike Jonze's own focused audiences.

Spike Jonze and Beastie Boys met for the first time in Los Angeles in 1991, when Jonze went out to photograph the band for the cover of Dirt magazine. A connection formed between the three MCs and the young photographer, which has lasted throughout their careers.

Almost thirty years later -- published to coincide with the release on Apple+ of a new documentary, Beastie Boys Story -- this book collects for the first time more than two hundred of Spike Jonze's personal photographs of his time spent with the group. Edited and with an afterword by Jonze, and including new writing by Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz themselves, this book shows an intimate look at the greatest act of the hip-hop generation in their truest colors as only a close friend could see them -- from performing live onstage to writing together at Mike's apartment; getting into character for a video to dressing up as old men to hit the basketball court; recording music in the studio to goofing around on the streets of New York.

From the music video for "Sabotage" to the cover of the Sounds of Science album, Spike Jonze is responsible for some of the most iconic images of the band ever made. But here, the emphasis is on the candid, the unexpected, and the real -- just pictures of friends who like making stuff together.

About the Author:

Spike Jonze is an award-winning American film director, photographer, and writer. He has won Academy Awards for Best Director (Being John Malkovich, 2000) and for Best Original Screenplay (Her, 2013), as well as a Grammy Award for Best Music Video (Weapon of Choice, 2002). He has written, directed, or produced ten feature films, more than twenty documentaries and shorts, several television shows, and dozens of BMX, skateboarding, and music videos. He is currently the creative director of Vice Media and its television channel Viceland. He lives in Los Angeles and New York.

Cecil Beaton (1904 -1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many.

In his twenties Beaton recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings. Condé Nast, the owner of Vogue, compelled him to abandon his pocket Kodak, and his resulting photographic work earned him a place among the great chroniclers of fashion.

Witty and inventive, he designed settings for plays and films – and for himself – and as a writer he was an eloquent champion of stylish living. His accounts of travel made the most luscious places seem tantalizingly vivid and close.

The turning point in his career was the challenge of working as an official photographer in the Second World War. He travelled the world, no longer in luxury but in uniform, and the photographs, drawings and writings that revealed the face of war, from bombed London to China and the North African Desert, testified to a new maturity of vision.

Cecil Beaton remained triumphantly active to the end of his long life. He became a superb portrait photographer, of royal and other famous faces and forms, and designed the costumes for My Fair Lady (both on stage and on film) and for Gigi. Almost incredibly, when a stroke paralysed his right hand he turned himself into a left-handed draughtsman; and he carried out two marathon photo assignments for French Vogue only a few months before he died.

International supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring her most memorable images in this New York Times bestseller. Cindy Crawford was the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the 1990s. She blazed a trail during that decade, seamlessly moving between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge MTV, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine. 

On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back, photo shoot by photo shoot, on a remarkable career and various life lessons she absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance. The photographs span her entire career, beginning from the mid-1980s, and feature unpublished images from Crawford’s personal archive in addition to images by every top name in fashion photography, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Richard Avedon, among others.  

A beautifully illustrated series of stories, Becoming is a smart and engaging book that sheds light into the life and work of an extraordinary woman.

About the Authors:

Cindy Crawford is an American supermodel and entrepreneur. Katherine O’Leary is a writer and producer.
