Streets of London is part of the Streets of... series of books which gathers the personal visions of a favorite metropolis by multiple photographers

London: the capital city of the United Kingdom and the political, economic, and cultural heart of the country. Along with Paris, Tokyo, and New York, London is considered one of the alpha capitals of the world: a pulsing, vibrant mega-metropolis which attracts millions of tourists and travelers each year with its history, museums, theater, art, fine dining, rich traditions, and multicultural flair.

Streets of London is a contemporary take on the classic city photo book. To capture all the diversity that characterizes London, this volume features more than 40 contemporary photographers with equally varied perspectives and styles. From the world-renowned London landmarks and tourist attractions like Tower Bridge, the Thames, and St. Paul’s Cathedral to lesser-known London boroughs and neighborhoods, each photographer offers a personal view of the British metropolis, allowing for a fresh photo tribute to a historic city, as well as visual inspirations for Londoners, old and new.

An evocative portrait of New York City by more than 40 photographers from around the world

More than 60 million people visit New York City each year. Every single traveller experiences the city in a unique way. There is no such thing as one New York. Streets of New York is a New York photo book that celebrates the Big Apple’s tremendous diversity by bringing together over 40 contemporary photographers and their multiple perspectives on this unique metropolis.

Often drawing on a strong social media presence, each photographer offers her or his personal take on New York’s unparalleled vibrancy, impact, and allure, creating both a rich collection of city photography and street style, and a visual catalogue of New York travel inspirations. Photographs of world-renowned New York landmarks and attractions like the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and World Trade Center Transportation Hub are interspersed with pictures of New York’s hidden treasures, tucked-away Manhattan charms, and lesser-known, but equally interesting New York City districts — all captured with a present-day attention to detail and a wide-eyed love for the City that Never Sleeps.

An unprecedented collection of images from the City of Light. A refreshing update of the ‘classic’ Paris photo book by featuring photographers with a strong internet following

As one of Europe’s most important and vibrant cities for art, fashion, and culture, in general, it is difficult to capture the multifaceted city of Paris from the perspective of merely one lens. 
Therefore, Streets of Paris bundles the work of over 40 photographers who roam the thousands of Parisian ‘rues’ to capture multiple, contemporary points of view of this dynamic world capital. The photographers, both Paris natives and international visitors alike, often draw on their strong social media presence. When combined, their independent visual voices show an unprecedented collection of Paris images. Unique views of the city’s famous landmarks like the Sacré-Coeur, the Louvre Museum, and the Eiffel Tower reveal an evocative city portrait. Lively areas overflowing with art and fashion, as well as lesser-known impressions of the city’s banlieues, are all captured with a present-day attention to detail and a wide-eyed love for “la Ville Lumière.”

A collection of Parkinson's greatest photographs taken for Vogue magazine, gathering pioneering fashion shoots, iconic cover images, royal portraits, celebrity pieces and more. Accompanied by detailed captions and features on key models and collaborators.

Meet the man who invented style. Through his beautiful photographs for British, American, French and Australian Vogue magazines, Norman Parkinson defined the way we saw fashion in 20th century, from the New Look of 1950s Paris to the Swinging Sixties in London.

The breathtaking book collects hundreds of Parkinson's greatest photographs taken for Vogue magazine, gathering pioneering fashion shoots, iconic cover images, royal portraits, celebrity pieces and more.

Accompanied by detailed captions and features on key models and collaborators – from Grace Coddington and Jerry Hall to Iman and HRH Princess Anne – STYLE: Photographs for Vogue is a sublime, glamorous tribute to an eternally stylish magazine and the dazzling vision of a man who shaped the face of fashion across six decades.

About the Author:

In a career that spanned six decades, Norman Parkinson is one of greatest photographs fashion has ever seen, shooting some of the most iconic photographs to appear in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Queen and Town & Country. He was awarded a CBE and also honoured with a major retrospective exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

From its origins in China and Scandinavia, the sport of skiing has come a long way to attract daring athletes, tourists and locals on winter holiday, the chic and wealthy leisure class, and international royalty.

On the technical side, pioneering innovators developed cutting-edge equipment that, over the years, has grown skiing to become a fiercely competitive spectator sport while, on the cultural side, the exciting and well-groomed stars of the ski world and jetsetter destinations have come to define a distinctive and popular global culture and aspirational lifestyle.

The Stylish Life: Skiing is a nostalgic and spectacular journey through alpine history and beyond, including this singularly unique sport's founders, superstars, influence on design and entertainment, and the evolution of its resorts, fashion, equipment, and much more.

Generously illustrated with photographs from early twentieth-century reformers to contemporary artists, this collection of essays re-examines the genre of social documentary photography through the shifting lens of photographic objectivity, modes of dissemination, and the passions animating documentary projects.

While the public’s acceptance of photographs as visual evidence made documentary photography possible, canny interventions employed by image makers and their editors alternately exploit and dismantle assumptions of the medium’s transparency, testing our wish to see pictures inspire social change.

Among the photographers included in the exhibition and book are Berenice Abbott, Max Alpert, William Castellana, Walker Evans, Larry Fink, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lewis Hine, Boris Ignatovich, Dorothea Lange, Igor Moukhin, Gordon Parks, Alexander Rodchenko, Arthur Rothstein, Sebastião Salgado, Arkady Shaikhet, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, Weegee et al.

Стислий огляд документальної фотографії Сьюзен Мейселас

Американська фотографка Сьюзен Мейселас, найбільш відома своєю роботою, що документує політичні потрясіння в Центральній Америці 1970-х і 80-х років, протягом більшої частини своєї кар'єри перебувала на передовій етичних дебатів щодо документальної фотографії. Завдяки тісній взаємодії з такими темами, як війна та експлуатація, вона досліджувала власне ставлення до того, що фотографує, поширення та поширення цих зображень, а також ключові питання щодо соціальної та культурної репрезентації та пам'яті. Її впливовий внесок у те, як аудиторія підходить до фотографії та взаємодіє з нею, є таким же важливим і резонансним сьогодні, як і 40 років тому.

Ця книга із серії Photofile також містить короткі тексти самої Мейселас, що супроводжують кожну роботу у томі.

Відома фотографка видавництва Magnum Сьюзен Мейселас пропонує чудовий коментар щодо своєї роботи та ролі фотографа-документаліста у цій знаковій книзі.

Ця знакова книга пропонує синтез поглядів відомої фотографки видавництва Magnum Сьюзен Мейселас на свою роботу та роль фотографа-документаліста. Завдяки тексту, взятиму здебільшого з ексклюзивних інтерв'ю з редактором Марком Холборном, вона пропонує чудовий коментар щодо своєї кар'єри, від ранньої роботи зі стриптизерками карнавалу, через новаторські репортажі про Нікарагуа та Сальвадор, до проектів, що охоплюють такі різноманітні теми, як плем'я Дані в Індонезії, курди Північного Іраку та жертви домашнього насильства в Каліфорнії. Центральним у творчості Мейселас є теми співпраці, повернення та обміну.

З понад 110 фотографіями – деякі з яких є класичними, інші рідко публікуються – ця книга демонструє, як передова, на якій працювала Мейселас, включає свідчення та збір доказів. Як зазначила Мейселас: «Продовжувати далі – означає бути допитливим – бути змушеним протистояти, досліджувати, викривати, залучатися та не знати, де ти опинишся або як ця подорож тебе змінить». Передова лінія — це завжди вибір.

This unique, visually exciting look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture — the one constant changes.

Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, "Temporary Pleasure" shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before. Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and location: Italy’s politically radical clubs of the ’60s; New York City’s disco scene; Detroit and Chicago’s techno and house paradises; Ibiza’s counterculture communal retreats; Britain’s rave culture; and Berlin’s techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design, and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester’s legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.

About the Author:

John Leo Gillen is a temporary space designer and producer who was raised in the nightlife industry through his family’s nightclub business in Ireland. He initially began archiving ephemeral club spaces online under the banner Temporary Pleasure, before turning the project into a collective of architects, event producers, and creatives who are generating new ways to rebuild clubs through design labs, workshops, and pop-up spaces. He holds a master’s degree in Ephemeral Architecture and Temporary Spaces from Elisava in Barcelona, and lives in London.
