A detailed insight into the lives and careers of the great photographers

In the history of photography, the lives of the major practitioners are as captivating and richly layered as the images they have left behind, many of which have become part of the cultural landscape. Yet the stories to be found behind the lens - of economic hardship, of personal tragedy, of fame won and lost - are all too often overlooked.

In Lives of the Great Photographers, thirty-eight of the most important and influential figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Ansel Adams to Madame Yevonde, are profiled in bold and compelling detail. By examining the lives and backgrounds of these often complex personalities, as well as the social and political crucibles in which their world views were forged, author Juliet Hacking also casts new light on their work. Illustrated with a portrait or self-portrait of each photographer and notable examples of their oeuvre, this lively and original publication not only provides a greater, more nuanced understanding of the featured image-makers but also guides the reader through the key innovations, movements and developments in the story of photography itself.

This scintillating volume takes readers on an exclusive journey through Paris, guided by Mathilde Favier — the charismatic public relations director at Dior Couture.

Hailing from one of Paris’ most creative families, Mathilde Favier is renowned as a warm, welcoming hostess nurturing a network of friends who happen to be some of the city’s most esteemed figures in fashion, beauty, art, interior design, and gastronomy.

Accompanied by a lively text and interviews by Frédérique Dedet, Favier—who personifies the soul and spirit of Paris—guides readers around the private spaces, shops, studios, residences, and kitchens of these extraordinary personalities. Their personal stories, expert perspectives, and shared secrets, together with Favier’s intimate understanding of the city and its best addresses, present a rarely seen view of Paris’ vibrant core.

A sensory feast and an immersive journey, this book has been conceived as a scrapbook of previously unpublished photographs and documents, as well as stunning new photography by Pascal Chevallier showcasing the beauty of Paris and the people who are at the epicenter of the city’s cultural scene.

About the Authors:

Mathilde Favier is PR director of Dior Couture, in charge of global celebrity relations, and is passionate about beauty and holistic wellness. Frédérique Dedet has contributed to numerous publications, including France Soir, Point de Vue, and L’Officiel, and is currently editor in chief of Série Limitée lifestyle magazine. Pascal Chevallier is a Paris-based fashion and lifestyle photographer whose work is regularly featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, AD, and Elle Decor.

The new looks, updated traditions, and influential designers defining men’s fashion today, from the world’s capital of gentlemen’s style.

Combining the unique heritage of gentlemen’s tailoring with a progressive approach to street style, London is fast becoming the world’s capital of men’s fashion. For this book, Dylan Jones presents a discerning sartorialist’s guide to the capital, from London’s coolest neighborhoods to the studios of its most influential designers and beyond.

Beginning with an exploration of London’s chicest urban villages, the book reflects the extraordinary eclecticism of the city’s street style—from envelope-pushing streetwear in Shoreditch to classic tailoring in Mayfair. Forays into the coolest and hardest-to-find menswear shops in the city at once reveal the sources of the fashions on display and capture the atmosphere of the capital. At the heart of the book are profiles of London’s top designers — from world renowned brands to up-and-coming names, these are the designers whose work is shaping the future of menswear.

Legends such as Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood, whose flair for subversion colors their refinement, sit alongside younger designers such as Christopher Shannon and Agi & Sam, pioneers of bringing graphics and pattern to luxury streetwear. Icons of classic elegance such as Tom Ford and Burberry contrast with a new generation of designers, from Nigel Cabourn to Mr. Hare, whose redefined silhouettes and innovative materials take the traditions of Savile Row into the new millennium.

About the Author:

Dylan Jones is a British journalist and author and former editor of i-D and Arena magazines, and has been the editor of GQ magazine (UK) since 1999. He is chair of the British Fashion Council’s Menswear Committee and a founding chairman of London Collections: Men.

What does migration mean for those, who stay behind?

Louise Amelie's documentary photo series is an artistic exploration of the global phenomenon of migration and its many facets, which are often ignored in European migration politics. Migration has always been an integral part of human experience and will continue to be. Yet in public discourse it is presented as an aberration, while the existence of nation-state borders is hardly ever questioned. On the globe, Kyrgyzstan nestles inconspicuously next to Kazakhstan and China, but on the ground the vastness and heights of the mountains seem endless. In contrast to the natural beauty, prefabricated housing estates spring up in the capital, Bishkek. Here lives a young population that, despite all the adversities of post-Soviet reality, faces the world with great confidence. In a collection of portraying texts and photographs that foreground the individual stories, the book is an expression of solidarity and empathy, and shows that migration can mean both an opportunity as well as the painful loss of a beloved Missing Member.

About the Author:

The official publication celebrating Magnum Photos’ 70th anniversary: a totally fresh and perceptive view of the legendary agency’s history and archive

This landmark book celebrates the 70th anniversary of the world’s greatest photographic agency, Magnum Photos. Offering a fresh and insightful view of the agency’s history and archive, it takes an analytical look at the work of Magnum’s photographers, and provides an understanding of what it is that makes Magnum Photos so different, so special and so great.

Author and curator Clément Chéroux, together with Clara Bouveresse, demonstrates how Magnum Photos owes its pre-eminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass and navigate the points between photography as art object and photography as documentary evidence. A Magnum photograph can be expressive and bear witness at the same time.

The book is organized into three main parts: Part I (1947–1968) views the Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on post-war ideals of commonality and utopianism. Part II (1969–1989) shows a world fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities and outsiders. Part III (1990–2017) charts the ways in which Magnum photographers have captured – and continue to capture – a world in flux and under threat.

Featuring both group and individual projects, the book includes magazine spreads, newspaper articles, excerpts from books, and other valuable material, putting some of the world’s most recognizable images in creative context. Complete with extensive texts, an anthology of correspondence and an agency timeline, Magnum Manifesto is an expertly curated, essential collection of images and commentary for anyone seeking the very best in photography.

Preface: May 22, 1947 • Part I, 1947–1968: Human Rights and Wrongs • Part II, 1969–1989: An Inventory of Differences • Part III, 1990–2017: Stories About Endings • Epilogue: 'Magnum Is…'
