The golden age of sailing and boating comes alive in this selection of photographs curated from the unparalleled archive of this great American sport.

The Rosenfelds’ photographs of competition sailboats, billowing spinnakers, and graceful motor yachts not only document the most glamorous era of sailing and boating but also celebrate and capture the power, drama, and beauty of the maritime experience. These beautifully reproduced prints will transport the reader to the decks of daysailers, sleek America’s Cup racing boats, vintage Chris-Craft runabouts, and elegant motor yachts from a bygone era.

Morris Rosenfeld and his sons defined maritime photography in the first half of the twentieth century — the dynamic balance of sky and water, the perspective that emphasizes the boat, and the moment that captures its nature.

Each timeless image comes to life both through its story and in beautiful reproduction on the oversized pages. This is a celebration of the traditions of the nautical lifestyle and a siren song to the American pursuit of going to sea.

Curated from hundreds of thousands of photos from The New York Times' archives Only in New York brings together the most memorable, poignant, and historic images of the Big Apple. This beautiful gift book celebrates New York in a way that will be treasured by native New Yorkers and tourists alike.

The New York Times is the world's foremost news organization, but it is very much a hometown paper, too. Since the inception of the camera, Times photographers have captured every newsworthy event--and many of the most iconic and intimate moments--that together document the very spirit and essence of New York City.

These 500 photos are selected and paired in clever, humorous, and poignant diptychs that bring the city to life as you could only see in NYC--from Broadway to Yankee Stadium, nightlife to street life, skyscrapers to subways. And since the turn of the last century, NY Times photographers have been visually recording the vast, and vastly interesting and entertaining, mix of people, places, and institutions that provide New York with its reputation as the city that occasionally dozes but never closes. This collection of their work spans more than a century, providing a vivid chronicle of metropolitan life at its most vibrant. Most of all, of course, there are the people and the neighborhoods they inhabit. Through the work of such celebrated New York Times photographers as Damon Winter, Neal Boenzi, Fred R. Conrad, Ruth Fremson, Vincent Laforet, Michelle Agins, Todd Heisler, Chang W. Lee, Barton Silverman, Sara Krulwich, Michelle Agins, Tyler Hicks, and many more, the spirit of the city is captured in this extraordinary book. Their ability to capture the familiar in original ways, and the seldom-seen in surprising ones, gives this book the look and feel of a true original.

Only in New York is a celebration of New York City and its people--and is sure to be treasured by native New Yorkers, tourists, and anyone who aspires to "make it there."

The first train to connect Paris to Constantinople – the gateway to the Orient and epitome of all its associated desires and fantasies – the Orient Express was an immediate success.

This unique train and its celebrated passengers (both real and fictional) have become one of the great cultural icons of our times and have helped to create a limitless source of stories and fantasies to feed our imaginations. It’s a story told here through fabulous new photographs of the restoration workshops where the historic train carriages are being brought back to life, through archive photos of famous and exotic destinations, and portraits of the most famous passengers who were lucky enough to climb aboard.

Following the international masterpiece Africa Adorned, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have focused on the traditions of body painting spanning the vastly unique cultures of the African continent.

Компактний огляд романтичних, насичених та ефемерних модних знімків і портретів фотографа Паоло Роверсі.

Паоло Роверсі народився в Равенні, Італія, в 1947 році, відкрив для себе фотографію у віці сімнадцяти років. Випадкова зустріч з фотографом Пітером Кнаппом спонукала його переїхати до Парижа на початку 1970-х років, де він вперше зіткнувся зі світом моди. Його кар'єра по-справжньому розпочалася, коли він став асистентом Лоуренса Сакмана, який навчив його ремеслу фотографа.

Проживши в Парижі понад тридцять років, Роверсі відомий своїм використанням широкоформатної плівки Polaroid для зйомки зображень ефемерної краси, вразливості та романтизму. Працюючи в евокативному монохромі або ретельно сформульованому кольорі, він регулярно співпрацює з провідними супермоделями та дизайнерами світу, а також знімався для багатьох провідних модних журналів та міжнародних рекламних кампаній.

Поєднання сміливої аерофотозйомки з обмеженим повітряним простором над Парижем забезпечує захоплюючі та неперевершені краєвиди.

Від сходу до заходу сонця Париж є одним з найбільш фотографованих міст світу. Знімаючи найновішими професійними камерами середнього формату високої роздільної здатності, вихиляючись з гелікоптерів, роблячи круті повороти з відкритими дверима, Мільштейн фіксує дуже деталізовані, знакові знімки прямо вниз, які відрізняють його роботи.

Особливий стиль Мільштейна – прямо вниз – дає нове розуміння міського дизайну цього великого міста. З вулиці можна побачити старі квартали Монмартру та Монпарнасу; знакові історичні пам'ятки, такі як Ейфелева вежа, Тріумфальна арка чи Будинок Інвалідів; та сучасний Париж, такий як Дефанс, або нові квартали навколо Національної бібліотеки. Як бонус, є портфоліо зображень садів та будівель великого палацу Людовика XIV, Версаля.

Мільштейн втілює в життя свої унікальні та неперевершені аерофотознімки Парижа – з кожного ракурсу, кожної миті, кожної пори року. Це неодмінно сподобається як туристам, так і парижанам.

Historians, art-lovers, and the fashion-conscious will be united in their love of this sumptuous and well-researched history of Mariano Vivanco’s motherland.

Peru by Mariano Vivanco is a once-in-a-lifetime project in which the photographer uses his love of imagery, history, and fashion alike to create a truly remarkable body of work. Vivanco takes readers through a personal journey depicting the history and folklore of his beloved country, Peru, through various photo essays. Vivanco has chosen to tell the story chronologically starting from the first pre-Columbian Inca civilization, Caral. This then passes through Moche, Nazca, where he photographed geo-glyphs from an airplane, to the Chimu civilization leading up to the Inca Empire. The Peruvian jungle served as the inspiration through its mythologies: El Bufeo Colorado, El Chullachaqui, and the Devil of the Red Flora to name a few. Vivanco also explored religious saints, Santa Rosa and San Martin De Porres, as well as rebellion leader Tupac Amaru II and his wife Micaela Bastidas.

About the Author:

Mariano Vivanco travelled the world with his family from a very early age, before eventually settling down in New Zealand at the age of ten. This is where his passion for art and photography began. Inspired by the scenes depicted in the works of Edward Steichen and Horst P. Horst, Vivanco moved to London in the year 2000 to pursue a career in fashion photography, with his first shoot ending up on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Jorge Villacorta is a Peruvian art critic and independent curator with a strong interest in contemporary visual arts. He was awarded the medal for Merit as cultural agent, by the Ministry of Culture of Peru, in 2013. His Excellency Ambassador Juan Carlos Gamarra is the Ambassador of Peru in London UK.

The final volume in a series of books that presents a new and comprehensive history of photography through works in MoMA’s collection

Photography at MoMA: 1860–1920 is the final volume in a set of three books that together present a new and comprehensive history of photography through works in MoMA’s collection. Richly illustrated with over 400 reproductions, the book charts the medium from its invention through its participation in international art movements such as Pictorialism and modernism. It offers a fresh lens through which to appreciate works of exceptional significance, surprise, and influence, encouraging creative new readings. Beginning with an in-depth introduction, the book includes eight chapters of full-colour plates, each introduced by a short essay.

Masterworks by photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Roger Fenton, Nadar, Frances Benjamin Johnston, Henry Fox Talbot, August Sander, Edward Steichen and Carleton Watkins appear alongside lesser-known gems and vernacular forms of photography.

The history of photography has been told many times, but never before through the incomparable collection of photographs at The Museum of Modern Art.

As the second volume in a set of three books that together present a new and comprehensive history of photography through works MoMA’s collection, this publication charts the medium during the height of the modernist period, from 1920 to 1960. The Museum’s significant role in the development of photography and its complicity in the construction of a canon that championed photography as an art form (but also eclipsed certain alternative or unfamiliar practices) requires a reconsidered history for the 21st century.

This book offers a fresh lens through which to appreciate works of exceptional significance, surprise and influence, encouraging creative new readings. The book begins with an in-depth introduction followed by seven chapters of full-colour plates, each introduced by a short essay. Masterworks by such photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson appear alongside lesser-known gems, and diverse notions of modernism enrich classic interpretations so that the beautiful fictions and messy realities of photography are complicated, refreshed, and, above all, enjoyed.

Розповідь Марка Дердена, поєднана з багатим ілюстративним контентом та легкодоступним дизайном, чітко прокладає шлях крізь цю історію, демонструючи роботи великих окремих фотографів, а також дозволяючи вписати їх у ширшу розповідь про розвиток цього виду мистецтва.

Марк Дерден — письменник, художник та лектор. Він багато писав про фотографію та сучасне мистецтво. Серед публікацій Dorothea Lange (2001, 2012), Fifty Key Writers on Photography (2012), разом із Девідом Кемпбеллом Variable Capital (2007) та разом із Кеном Грантом Double Take: Portraits from the Keith Medley Archive (2013).

The fifth edition of this indispensable survey of photography spans the history of the medium, from its early development to the latest advances in technology and social media platforms. Mary Warner Marien discusses photography from around the world and through the lenses of art, science, travel, war, fashion, the mass media and individual photographers.I Professional, amateur and art photographers are all represented, with ‘Portrait’ boxes devoted to highlighting important individuals and ‘Focus’ boxes charting particular cultural debates.

About the Author:

Mary Warner Marien is Professor Emerita in the Department of Fine Arts at Syracuse University, New York. She continues to lecture in the United States and Europe and in 2008 won an Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writer award for her continuing work on the history and theory of documentary photography. She is the author of Photography and its Critics (Cambridge University Press, 1997) and 100 Ideas that Changed Photography (Laurence King, 2012) as well as numerous articles on photography.

The 50 years of artistic and mass photography taken into consideration in this volume are unquestionably the most important in the twentieth century. The acceleration of technological progress, the advent of the era of the machine and the metropolis, the epoch-making economic crisis, the dramatic aftermath of the collapse of the old nineteenth-century order in Europe with political upheavals, wars, revolutions and dictatorships, the first appearance of a mass society capable of expressing cultures and systems of communication in line with its needs: these are the most obvious stages of a history that was also recorded as it happened, in various forms and media. Among these, key importance certainly attaches to photography. It is evident that mankind had never before been in possession of an instrument capable of supplying such an enormous number of images of such universal accessibility as regards both visibility and creation. The Kodak camera, a device anyone could use, and the popular illustrated press are the two cornerstones of this aspect of the photographic history of the twentieth century. This richly illustrated book – complete with synoptic tables and a summary glossary – offers a wide-ranging survey of this era that will delight and inform a constantly growing audience.
