«Ще до того, як я їх познайомився, до того, як почався мій професійний досвід у Формулі-1, я дивився на Формулу-1 їхніми очима. Вони стали дуже важливими людьми у світі Формули-1 завдяки тому, що завжди вміли вловлювати правильний момент з правильною напругою, яку можна відчути навіть дивлячись на фотографію». - Генеральний директор Формули-1 Стефано Доменікалі

Ferrari - це серце світового спортивного феномену Formula One. Її засновник, Енцо Феррарі, народився на гоночній трасі як гонщик, перш ніж стати творцем міфічних дорожніх автомобілів. Жодна інша команда не може надихнути на таку пристрасть або зрівнятися з історіями тріумфу та трагедії.

Райнер Шлегельмільх та Ерколе Коломбо - два найлегендарніших фотографи Формули-1. Вони висвітлювали цей вид спорту з 1960-х років і донині, маючи дивовижний доступ до команди Scuderia. Тут вони вперше збираються разом, щоб віддати шану найвідомішій команді Формули-1.

У книзі Ferrari: From Inside and Outside представлені роботи таких культових постатей, як П'єро Феррарі, Лука ді Монтедземоло, Стефано Доменікалі, Жан Тодт та легендарний дизайнер Мауро Форг'єрі. Редактором книги є всесвітньо відомий коментатор Формули-1 та біограф Міхаеля Шумахера Джеймс Аллен.

Багато напівпрофесійних і професійних весільних фотографів прагнуть «розбудити» свій стиль, бути в курсі подій і стимулювати бізнес. А сьогодні це означає лайфстайл-зйомку, яку також називають «художньою весільною фотографією».

Мистецька весільна фотографія – це не просто яскрава фраза; це сучасний підхід, у якому дизайн має першочергове значення. Мистецькі весільні зображення більш графічні та стилізовані, ніж традиційна весільна фотожурналістика, ніби вони взяті зі сторінок весільного глянцевого журналу чи журналу про стиль життя.

Відомий весільний фотограф Хосе Вілья був піонером у мистецтві весільної фотографії, перш ніж це стало модним модним словом. Тут він ділиться своїми секретами створення стилізованого відчуття композиції, освітлення, позування та, найголовніше, дизайну ваших зображень, зберігаючи при цьому їх органічність і оповідь. Ви дізнаєтесь про фірмову техніку Хосе, яка полягає у зйомці більш природного моменту після пози, і поради щодо отримання зображень прямо в камері, щоб уникнути потреби у важкій постпродакшн. Останні розділи показують вам, як інтегрувати дизайн у наданий продукт, будь то альбом чи слайд-шоу, і продовжувати піклуватися про клієнтів після весілля, розширюючи до дитячих і сімейних портретів.

Наповнена прикладами з реального життя, надійними техніками та приголомшливими знімками однієї з найяскравіших зірок весільної індустрії, ця книга навчатиме та надихатиме фотографів, які прагнуть оновити свою роботу та задовольнити нове покоління наречених.

Through fifty years of epic stories, art, and personal ephemera, The Fletcher Family spans surfing's golden era to the present day, when bathing-suit model Dibi and competitive surfer Herbie met, to raising talented Christian and Nathan on boards and waves, to passing the torch to their skating-phenom grandson, Greyson.

Herbie Fletcher is a surfing legend. Fletcher and his sons, Christian and Nathan, made a habit of doing things exceptionally well and in their own way before they became the norm. But the Fletchers are not merely trailblazing surf and skate legends; they also are counterculture and subculture icons. T Magazine referred to them as having "punk family values." Their sincere love for art and surfing and their collective DGAF attitude has earned them legions of devoted fans and friends from so many different worlds: music, fashion, streetwear, and art.

The epitome of both surfer cool and punk counterculture, the Fletcher family for the first time has put together a window into their immensely colorful life. A visual memoir of this near-mythological surf family, The Fletcher Family is sure to appeal to their massive surfing fan base, young skaters, and those who are interested in the Fletcher family and their place in Southern California as a subcultural force of nature.

About the Author:

Dibi Fletcher is a writer, unofficial COO of the Astrodeck surfing-equipment company, and the matriarch of the Fletcher family. Mike Diamond is a member of the Beastie Boys. Steven Van Doren is the son of Paul Van Doren, a founder of Vans shoes. Julian Schnabel is a painter and filmmaker. Kelly Slater is a professional surfer. C.R. Stecyk III is an American artist, photographer, and writer.

In his latest book, Takay presents photographs that pay homage to the creative power and style of the great Japanese designer, Yohji Yamamoto.

'Fluence' was shot primarily in Tokyo, Japan. In it, Takay has captured the magic and mystery of artistic forces and his native country. The images in 'Fluence' are shot in black and white which punctuate the subject and the black designs and silhouettes of Yojhi Yamamoto’s clothing. The subjects in the book are some of Japan’s most accomplished creatives, actors, musicians and models. The locations hark back to Japan of the 1980’s, the end of the Showa era. Takay subconsciously chose locations that reflect this, the era he lived in prior to leaving Japan. These previously unseen photographs blend the Japanese landscape with the transformative power and energy of the people and the archive collection.

The seed for this book was planted many years ago at the start of Takay’s career when he worked with Terry Jones on a Yohji project, and came to fruition after he was offered the use of the Yohji Yamamoto archive collection which spans 40 years of design. In Takay’s opinion, Yohji Yamamoto’s designs have a strong avant-garde, masculine style, mixed with a strong Japanese sensibility and elegance. When he began his project, he thought about what he could do with the clothes but while working with the people dressed in the collection, there was a transformation visually for him, which inspired him to create the images in this book.

Тепер доступна у прекрасному новому виданні, ця книга представляє медитативну, захопливу та вражаючу колекцію з 240 чорно-білих знімків Японії, зроблених протягом майже 30 років всесвітньо відомим фотографом Майклом Кенною.

Скелясте узбережжя вздовж Японського моря; неосяжна рівнина рисових полів у снігу; гора Фудзі, що височіє над туманними лісистими пагорбами; тихі храми, позбавлені людей, але повні буддійських божеств; ворота Торії, що таємниче з'являються з рухомих хмар та води — це лише кілька знімків з цієї чудової колекції фотографій Майкла Кенни, чиї чорно-білі роботи дуже відомі. Forms of Japan, блискуче оформлені Івонн Мейєр-Лор, організовані в розділи з простими назвами: «Море», «Земля», «Дерева», «Дух» та «Небо».

Тихі, виразні фотографії, часто поєднані з класичними віршами хайку Басьо, Бусона, Ісси та інших, створюють споглядальний портрет країни, більш відомої своєю енергією та промисловістю. Чудово відтворені, щоб передати неймовірні тонкощі традиційних чорно-білих срібних гравюр Майкла Кенни, фотографії в цій книзі містять як відомі, так і раніше неопубліковані зображення з усіх куточків Японії: Хоккайдо, Хонсю, Кюсю, Окінава та Сікоку.

Про авторів:

Майкл Кенна — англійський фотограф, який зараз мешкає в Сіетлі, США, найбільш відомий своїми чорно-білими пейзажами. Про його фотороботу опубліковано понад 60 книг та монографій, зокрема "Buddha", "Holga", "Rouge", та "St. Joseph’s College, Upholland" (усі видавництво Prestel).
