Захопливий погляд на кар'єру соціального та стильового революціонера Відала Сассуна.

Перукар-візіонер, який став відомим ім'ям, Відал Сассун був інструментом змін під час культурних зрушень 1960-х років. Натхненний архітектурою Баухаус, кар'єра Сассуна розпочалася з каре Ненсі Кван у 1963 році, а потім хлоп'ячої стрижки з п'ятьма точками, яка розмила класові та статеві відмінності в епоху унісекс. Ці невибагливі стилі сигналізували про звільнення від обмежень минулого та призвели до змішання соціальних верств у його салоні на Бонд-стріт, оскільки і жінки, і продавчині підстригали волосся пліч-о-пліч. Його унікальні та культові стрижки для таких модниць, як Грейс Коддінгтон та Міа Ферроу, проклали новий курс для ідеалів жіночої краси.

Поєднуючи модну фотографію, відверті знімки та спогади Сассуна та членів його художнього кола, таких як Девід Бейлі, Теренс Донован та Мері Квант, ця книга є захопливим поглядом на цілеспрямовані зусилля однієї людини змінити стиль та радикальні зміни, спричинені прогресивною модою.

This stunning photographic volume is the permanent record of a long discovery trip into Vietnam's lost outposts.

Over two trips in the north, in spring and autumn 2016, Fokion Zissiadis covered some 6,000 kilometers of road, track and trail, and rocky mountains, close to Vietnam's far northern frontier. These epic extremes of the Vietnamese landscapes have resisted generations of invaders across the centuries and are home to an incredible humanity.

The photographs in this collection show us a Vietnam known only to those following less-traveled paths. Faced with the landscapes, we experience human life at the threshold of nature; faced with the people, we feel as close as we might get without meeting them. But even then, it takes a special eye to give us the view as if we're standing right there and to rediscover the beauty and the value right around us.

A man who has achieved a lot in life, Fokion Zissiadis is an architect, builder, and entrepreneur who has built one of the most amazing resorts in Europe. At this stage of his life, the Greek photographer has started to travel all over the world--Africa, Iceland, India--looking for the unseen side of the most remote landscapes and people of the planet.

This stunning volume comes in a protective box.

About the Authors:

Fokion Zissiadis first took an interest in photography during his years as an architecture student and gradually developed more personal, interpretative views of the landscapes he sought to capture. Alex Sheal's stories have featured in the New York Times, Huffington Post, and many other publications, and he has been the recipient of the David Higham Award and the New Writer Novella Prize.

As a budding photographer and oenophile in the 1940s, Fred Lyon surveyed the wine photography of the day and thought, “I can do better than that!” 

What followed was a seven-decade adventure that took him to the world’s great wine regions ― to French châteaux, the verdant slopes of Chile, and the picturesque wineries of Italy, Greece, Portugal, and beyond ― always returning to the breathtaking Napa and Sonoma vineyards that lie just over the bridge from his San Francisco home. 

Lyon’s keen eye illuminates moments both grand and intimate that define the world of winemaking: families turning out for the harvest, a horse pulling a sled of freshly picked grapes, a midmorning workers’ break to enjoy bread and cheese. 

Vineyards is a delightful gift for wine lovers, foodies, and armchair travellers.

Outer space = infinite fascination!

A delight for space fans and experts alike, this book is your unique guide to the most iconic, monumental and scientifically relevant mission to date: VOYAGER. After the worldwide success of Apollo VII-XVII, the authors again scoured the NASA archives to sink their teeth into another fascinating mission.

First launched in 1977, the twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have significantly expanded our knowledge of space, corrected many scientific theses and, last but not least, produced the most distant image of the earth: the famous Pale Blue Dot. NASA's Voyager mission to the four gas giants and beyond is one of history's most iconic, monumental, and scientifically relevant journeys of exploration. A journey to the unknown. Two robotic spacecraft embarked on a voyage to answer the very same cosmic questions children ask their parents. Where do we come from? What is the Universe made of? Are we alone? The opulent and lavishly designed illustrated book VOYAGER revives the legendary mission in all its facets through its images and text. From exploring the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus, which had never been visited by a probe before or since - to entering the interstellar space outside our solar system, which no man-made object has ever reached.

Each chapter describes a phase of what is perhaps the greatest journey in human history. In addition to the photographs of every phase of the mission, which the probes took in all directions during their flight, the volume provides background information and knowledge on technology, astrophotography and physics. Also included is the story of the Golden Record - a plate cast in gold that has permanently stored music, photographs, messages and facts about humanity. The records were attached to the spacecraft, forming perhaps our most promising attempt to make contact with aliens so far. All the key facts and discoveries of this interstellar spacecraft mission, including previously unpublished information, are gathered in VOYAGER.

The collection of photographs, some published for the first time, will allow you to experience the mission in all its details, from newly discovered moons to planetary rings, and from the edge of our solar system to contacting extra-terrestrial life. While it started as a journey to understand the unknown, it became one to understand ourselves as well.

With a special essay from Dr. Garry Hunt - Voyager Imaging Team (1972-1990)

With fascinating texts on the natural history of water on earth. Where does it come from? What role has it played in the emergence of life? 

Water. The origin of life. The stroke of luck among cosmic coincidences. The chameleon of molecules that makes all the difference. Every living entity depends on its existence. Yet in and of itself, water appears rather modest. Colourless and tasteless, it is only in its environment that water comes to life, receiving colour through the reflection of the sky, and dynamism in its movement along rivers, over mountains, oceans, and plains. Photographer Rudi Sebastian has dedicated his photographic life to water in all its forms. For the last few years, he has travelled the globe to capture every imaginable facet of this essential substance in all its liquid, gaseous, and solid forms. The result is an exquisite photographic book that presents an unprecedented spectrum of this miracle substance — from a pond to the endless expanse of the Pacific, from the ice of the polar regions to the salt-encrusted lakes of the great deserts. 

Taking stylistic inspiration from Monet and classical modernism, Sebastian’s images ripple with texture and ever-moving colours. His waterscapes are as vivid as the substance itself, a rich tribute to the planet’s life force. Accompanying texts reveal the natural history and wonders of water on earth. Where did it come from? What role has it played in the emergence of life? This photographic journey takes us all over the truly blue planet to remind us that water is never just water but a whole universe of diversity and beauty.

About the Author:

Rudi Sebastian, born in 1960 in Rüssingen in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany, dedicated himself to photography after many years primarily spent in the advertising industry. His main interest is water and landscape photography, influenced stylistically by Monet and classical modernism. He is particularly interested in the transfer of the space onto the surface, whereby what is shown often loses its point of reference and becomes an interface between the tangible and abstract. 

A vibrant celebration of surfers in and out of the water from an award-winning photographer Professional photographer Thom Gilbert spent four years among surfer royalty at the top of their game — in Spain, New York, California, and Hawaii—with his camera trained not only on tiny figures disappearing in the waves, but also on the surfers’ faces and bodies back on land. He returned from the beaches with intimate portraits of the world’s best — from the newest talent to the oldest and most revered — and also with dramatic action shots and revealing images of the culture around this sport and lifestyle.

The book features not only 300 photographs, but some Q&As with, and hand-written contributions from, prominent figures in the scene. Ultimately, Waves is an ode to surfing and to the men and women who live it every day.

From big cats to elephants and indigenous communities, Wild Encounters is a must-have for nature lovers, conservationists, and anyone who is inspired by all that remains wild. David Yarrow travels from pole to pole and continent to continent to visit frozen Arctic tundras, vast African deserts, primordial rain forests, and remote villages, inviting us to truly connect with subjects we mistakenly think we have seen before. Yarrow takes the familiar — lions, elephants, tigers, polar bears — and makes it new again by creating iconic images that deliberately connect with us at a highly emotional level.  For more than two decades, this legendary wildlife photographer has been putting himself in harm's way to capture the most unbelievable close-up animal photography, amassing an incomparable photographic portfolio, spanning six continents. Driven by a passion for sharing and preserving Earth's last great wild cultures and species, Yarrow is as much a conservationist as a photographer and artist. His work has transcended wildlife photography and is now collected and shown as fine art in some of the most famed galleries around the world. Featuring 160 of his most breathtaking photographs, Wild Encounters offers a truly intimate view of some of the world's most compelling — and threatened—species and captures the splendor and very soul of what remains wild and free in our world through portraits that feel close enough to touch.

About the Author:

David Yarrow was born in Scotland and is now based in London. He was named Young Scottish Photographer of the Year at the age of 20, and since turning his lens on the natural world, David has built an unrivaled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet's remote landscapes and endangered animals. He is now Europe's best-selling wildlife photographer and is represented by a selection of the world's leading galleries while also being appointed as an ambassador for Nikon UK.  Tusk, whose Royal Patron is HRH The Duke of Cambridge, will receive proceeds from the sale of the book to support its vital conservation projects in Africa. Tusk is a dynamic and pioneering organization with 25 years of experience initiating and funding conservation, community development and environmental education programs across Africa. Since its formation in 1990, Tusk has invested more than $40 million into a wide range of projects across the continent.

Sensitive, evocative photographs of wild breeds of horses roaming free in the British countryside.

Photographer and wildlife activist, Alfie Bowen, presents his two-year-long project photographing Britain's wild horses through the eyes of someone living with autism spectrum disorder. Wild Horses is all about connection: Bowen's personal connection to the animals he photographs; his connection to photography as an art form; the horses' connection to one another; and our collective connection to the land and our planet.

Bowen borrows the words of American landscape photographer Ansel Adams to describe his approach to his work: 'You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.' For Bowen, photography is an outlet for his emotional energy. It enables him to draw from difficult moments in his life and turn the energy that manifests from his emotions into truly mesmerising images.

_A fascinating insight into an alternative way of looking at the world.
_Foreword from wildlife presenter Chris Packham.
_Revealing descriptions of each photograph in Bowen's own words.

About the Author:

Alfie Bowen took up photography in 2014. It became an escape for him, and he credits it with saving his life. He uses his photography to raise awareness of the plight facing many species across the world, and to increase acceptance and understanding of autism. Bowen is proud to be an ambassador for Clinks Care Farm, Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and Young Bird Photographer of the Year. He also works closely with WWF. Alfie Bowen is based in Beccles, Suffolk.

The woods are alive with possibilities: Retreat into nature, meet mushroom pickers, collectors, and explorers. Build cabins and scenic trails, create crafts, or start inspired projects. This is the way to the forest.

Step into the woods — refuge and escape and home. Some go there to hike or fish. The people and projects presented in this book do so much more. Join them as they gather honey from wild hives and pick mushrooms from beneath secretive oaks. Build a cabin of your own, or a look‑out up in the treetops.

Bike trails, walking paths, woodcrafts. Anything and everything to experience the forest, both architectural and intangible. With profiles and essays that inspire us to step off the beaten path and photographs that bring the experience home, Wildside is the guide to modern outdoor activities.

Obi Kaufmann’s works of poetry and illustration echo the feeling and vibrations of the California wilderness. Working within the realm of conservation and possessing a passion for defending the wilderness, his creations spin a thread of environmental awareness and artistic honesty.

Christian Watson interweaves tradition with his perspective as a millennial. He sheds technology and creature comforts to live within the world and the landscape. Juniper Ridge captures the scent and essence of the wild; their dedicated crew is at home crafting around a campfire and foraging for ingredients off forest trails. These members of the cast of characters, and of hunters and gatherers, share the joy they receive from existing with and within nature, side by side with the murmurs and growls of the outdoors. Wildside is their collective narrative.

Путівник Вільяма Еґглстона був першою індивідуальною виставкою кольорових фотографій, яка коли-небудь була представлена ​​в Музеї сучасного мистецтва в Нью-Йорку, і першою публікацією Музею кольорової фотографії. Прийом був розділеним і пристрасним.

Книга та шоу беззастережно змусили світ мистецтва мати справу з кольоровою фотографією, засобом, який на той час майже не сприймався всерйоз, і з народним змістом маси фотографій, які могли бути, але точно не були фотографіями середнього американця Instamatic із сімейного альбому. Ці фотографії проголосили нову майстерність використання кольору як невід’ємного елемента фотокомпозиції.

Для цього видання Посібника Вільяма Еґглстона Музей сучасного мистецтва зробив нові кольороподіли з оригінальних 35-міліметрових слайдів, випустивши факсимільне видання, у якому колір свіжо відповідатиме намірам фотографа.

Посібник у текстурованій обкладинці з фотографією триколісного велосипеда та золотим написом у стилі щорічника містив 48 зображень, відредагованих із 375, знятих між 1969 і 1971 роками, і відображав оманливо невимушений, насправді надзвичайно вишуканий погляд на навколишній світ. Ось люди, пейзажі та дивні маленькі моменти в рідному місті Егглстона Мемфісі та його околицях — анонімна жінка в сукні з кричущим візерунком і в окулярах у вигляді котячих очей сидить, злегка піднявши ліву ногу, на не менш гучному вуличному дивані; барбекю на вугіллі, що палає полум’ям, в обрамленні блискучого сріблястого триколісного велосипеда, вигини блискучого чорного автомобільного крила та чийсь торс; крихітна сиволоса жінка в вицвілому домашньому халаті з квіточками, що стояла в очікуванні та карликувала у величезних темних дверях м’ятно-зеленої кімнати, єдині видимі меблі якої — лампа з абажуром на крайньому столику. Містить 48 кольорових ілюстрацій.

The ultimate collection of William Wegman’s Weimaraner photographs, in an accessibly priced format, with over 250 brilliant and witty images from across five decades.

All artists have a muse. Movie directors perfect their craft working again and again with the same actor, while choreographers find their inspiration for some of their greatest works when creating for a particular dancer. Sometimes a muse is a silent partner, the object of an artist's intense and obsessive gaze. At other times the relationship is a kind of performance, a deeply collaborative act. For William Wegman, whose muses have been all of these things and more over the years, inspiration arrived in 1970 when his dog, a Weimaraner named Man Ray, appeared in front of his camera.

William Wegman is a world-renowned American artist whose paintings, photographs, videos and drawings have been exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. Today he is perhaps best known for his collaborations with his longstanding muses, an ever-expanding cast of Weimaraners, for whom performing elaborate scenarios or merely posing demurely for their portraits comes as second nature. Curated in close collaboration with distinguished photography author William A. Ewing, William Wegman: Being Human is the most extensive collection of Wegman’s photographic work yet to be published. With over 300 images made over the last four decades, many published here for the first time, Being Human will delight and engage both those who are new to Wegman’s work and those who have admired his art for many years.

The book is organized thematically, presenting a wealth of exceptional work in such a way as to highlight the versatility of Wegman’s ever-inventive mind as he explores what it means to be human. From portraits of characters we so easily recognize – a suburban housewife, a famous actor, a nightclub singer, a golfer dressed in plaid – to imagery that toys with a wide range of visual languages, Wegman quotes freely from fashion photography, Cubism, colour theory, the tradition of the nude and the history of art itself.

With insightful essays by Ewing and Wegman, and an interview that explores the key concepts of the book, Wegman’s approach to his subjects and their life in the studio, Being Human celebrates a creative partnership - a relationship between an artist and his muses - that continues to this day.

Willy Ronis curated and commentated on the iconic images featured in this beautiful volume that retraces his career and contributions to photography and photojournalism.

A key figure in twentieth-century photography, Willy Ronis conveyed the poetic reality of postwar Paris and Provence in iconic black-and-white photographs. Influenced by Alfred Stieglitz and Ansel Adams, and amicable with his contemporary Magnum photographers, Ronis was the first French photographer to contribute to Life magazine. In the 1950s, MoMA curator Edward Steichen featured Ronis — along with Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Brassaï — in the groundbreaking exhibitions The Family of Man and Five French Photographers.

Throughout his life, this powerhouse of humanist photography kept meticulous records of his work, curating each era into albums, which are reproduced here for the first time. Timeless photographs of postwar France and its inhabitants are accompanied by the photographer’s original observations and comments, framing the images within their technical and historical context. Photography historian Matthieu Rivallin’s critical perspective adds nuance to the photographer’s notes, and the ensemble is a groundbreaking and definitive reference on the myriad aspects of the artists’ immense career and an essential volume for all photography aficionados.

About the Author:

Major twentieth-century photographer Willy Ronis (1910–2009) contributed to Life, Vogue, and Time, and he received numerous international awards. Exhibition curator and author Matthieu Rivallin manages the twentieth-century-photography archives at the Mediathèque de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris.

Довгоочікувана ретроспектива від всесвітньо відомого режисера, який славиться своїми яскравими та атмосферними фільмами.

Вонг Кар Вай відомий своїми романтичними та стильними фільмами, які досліджують — у насичених кінематографічних сценах — теми кохання, туги та тягаря пам’яті. Його стиль виявляє захоплення настроєм і текстурою, а відчуття місця займає чільне місце. У цьому томі, першому з усього його творчого доробку, Вонг Кар Вай і письменник Джон Пауерс досліджують повну творчість Вонга в місцях деяких з його найвідоміших сцен. Книга побудована як шість розмов між Пауерсом і Вонгом (кожна в різних місцях), включаючи ресторан, де він знімав Mood for Love, і снек-бар, де він знімав Chungking Express. Обговорюючи кожен з одинадцяти фільмів Вонга, розмови також досліджують фірмові теми Вонга про час, ностальгію та красу та їхнє коріння в його особистому житті.

Ця перша книга Вонга Кар Вая, щедро проілюстрована більш ніж 250 фотографіями та кадрами з кінофільмів і містить початкове критичне есе Пауерса, WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wei, викликає таке ж враження, як увійти в один із розкішних фільмів Вонга.
