156 duotone photographs

The French Riviera of the Fifties was an exciting place with much change in the air. Rock and roll and the bikini, existentialism and the atom bomb. Edward Quinn chronicled a playground that was influenced by international trends, but very much its own universe. On the Riviera every night was a party.

Born in Dublin in 1920, Edward Quinn played Hawaiian guitar in Belfast, then went into the Royal Air Force. He eventually made his way to the Cфte d'Azur, where he photographed world leaders, glamour girls and playboys, as well as figures from the worlds of art, music and literature. His most memorable work included images of an unknown Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly's first meeting with Prince Rainier, and a precocious Brigitte Bardot. His exacting eye showcased Picasso, T.S. Eliot, and Gary Cooper. With a polished technique and great patience and charm, Quinn caught some of the post-war Riviera's most memorable moments.

* A tantalizing look at post-war leisure, sure to appeal to photography aficionados and culture buffs alike
* Packaged in a special linen slipcase, and accompanied by an authentic Edward Quinn photo print, signed by his widow Gret Quinn
* A must-have for lovers of Riviera glamour, fifties-style

Alexander Babic

It is the authenticity of the images which fascinates us rather than the reality that lies behind them. This reality seems rough and dangerous and all but worth emulating or aspiring to. The photographer Alexander Babic covered thousands of miles by car in Australia and South Africa in order to capture a scenery of which he himself was part - a real adventure. He drove along the world's longest highways, encountered the world's longest road trains, i.e. the Australian road trains with up to four, sometimes five trailers measuring up to 70 metres in length. He set up a complete mobile studio and asked his models, the truckers, if he can take a picture of them. He wants in his own words: "to capture faces that reflect stories, experiences, even tradegy and roughness in a totally classic and unadorned manner in black and white photographs". The portraits of the subjects are countered by similarly impressive views of the vehicles, from the front an this time in colour. The double page landscape photographs interjecting the series are just as impressive and suggest the publication be seen as a holistic composition ad be " read" as such.
Robert Doisneau

Видавництво: Flammarion

Doisneaus photographs of the now vanished Les Halles evoke nostalgia for the days when the vast market, which sprawled haphazardly over the center of the city, was known as the belly of Paris. Once alive with the cries of fruit-sellers, fish-vendors, butchers, and florists, the scent of brightly-colored flower bouquets intermingling with wafts of freshly baked bread, and heaving with swarms of market-goers, today there is no trace of the nine-hundred-year-old market place that used to stand in the center of Paris at Les Halles.

The immense Baltard Pavilions were torn down in 1971 to make way for a modern underground shopping precinct, but Parisians still hold a special affection for days gone by when, to borrow an expression used by Émile Zola, the bustling markets formed the belly of their city. One such Parisian in particular was Robert Doisneau, one of the best loved French photographers of all time. Driven by his relentless curiosity and a sense of social conscience, Doisneau paced the Pavilions and their neighboring streets at length, and here he captured the heart of daily life at Les Halles.

Many of Doisneaus romantic photographs have become iconic representations of twentieth-century Paris, but this volume exhibits some of his lesser-known but nonetheless extraordinary works. He had an uncanny capacity for capturing poetry in ordinary moments: a smiling fruit-seller bellows from behind a pyramid of oranges, while a fish-vendor hauls a cart of gigantic fish past a mountain of flower bouquets ready to grace Parisian dinner tables, which you can virtually smell.

Doisneau has immortalized the bustling magic of Les Halles in his bold and busy photographs. Coinciding with the long-awaited redevelopment of this area that began in 2011, this volume plunges the reader back through time to the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes of the vanished era of Doisneaus Les Halles, whilst commentary from the photographers personal notebooks places his images in their economic and political context.

Unser Band, der aus Anlass des 70. Geburtstags von Romy Schneider (1938–1982) neu aufgelegt wird, ist eine Hommage in Bildern, die all die glanzvollen, intimen, auch tragische Momente der beruflichen und privaten Metamorphose Romy Schneiders vom »süßen Mädel« zur schönen, selbstbewussten Frau, zur gefeierten Schauspielerin und Diva versammelt. Es sind Photographien, die der italienisch-französische Photograph Giancarlo Botti von Romy zwischen 1961 und ihrem Tod 1982 aufgenommen hat. Die frühesten Bilder zeigen sie im Modesalon von Coco Chanel bei der Kostümprobe für ein Filmprojekt mit Luchino Visconti. In den folgenden zwei Jahrzehnten photographierte er sie u. a. bei den Dreharbeiten von Was gibt’s Neues, Pussy?, Halb elf in einer Sommernacht, Spion zwischen zwei Fronten, Die Geliebte des anderen, Das Mädchen und der Kommissar, Nachtblende, Gruppenbild mit Dame und Eine einfache Geschichte. Der vertraute Umgang zwischen dem Photographen und seinem Star führte auch dazu, dass Romy ihn häufig zu privaten Phototerminen bat. So nahm er Romy mit Sohn David in ihrer Pariser Wohnung auf und photographierte ihre Hochzeit mit Daniel Biasini. Die Beziehung fand ihren Höhepunkt in einer großen erotischen Aktserie, die Romy Schneider selbst angeregt hatte und die hier erstmals zusammenhängend veröffentlicht ist. Giancarlo Botti, 1930 in Italien geboren und seit Ende der 50er Jahre in Frankreich ansässig, machte sich mit Photoreportagen und Prominenten-Portraits einen Namen. Unser Band ist das Zeugnis einer langjährigen, von Sympathie und zunehmender Vertrautheit geprägten Zusammenarbeit mit Romy Schneider, die 1960 mit einem Reportage-Auftrag der französischen Frauenzeitschrift Marie Claire begann.

An intimate glance at Hollywood behind closed doors is revealed in this collection of glamorous, erotic and fascinating photographs shot in the Penthouse suite at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Throughout the year of 2008 an exquisite selection of celebrities including George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Minnie Driver, Eva Herzigova, Dennis Hopper, Rachel Hunter, Sir Elton John, Heidi Klum, Kid Rock, Ray Liotta, Lindsay Lohan, Tatjana Patitz, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone and Donald and Rossif Sutherland were all invited to “live” in Room 23.

Deborah Andersonʼs photographic gaze is able to lasciviously lure Sharon Stone into bed with Cheryl Tiegs, makes men crawl submissively at Lindsay Lohan feet and brings a coquette smile to Heidi Klum pretty face while standing next to a bellboy with his exposed derrière.

Shooting people in beds and bathtubs, Deborah Andersonʼs sensual point-of-view lets her get physically close to her subjects, but also allows her to capture the essence of their personality, their sex appeal, sense of humor, irony and at times lets seep through their innermost fantasies. Despite all, her subjects remain the untouchable icons we know and adore - behind locked hotel room doors they are removed from reality, distantly desirable and mysterious. A simple peek through the voyeurʼs keyhole gives us a taste of luscious perfection we long for.

The celebrities portrayed in this book were invited by Diana Jenkins, to many more than a mere acquaintance. Growing up in Sarajevo, this charismatic businesswoman now lives divided between London and Los Angeles. After escaping the horrors of the Bosnian War, in which she lost a brother, Diana Jenkins established an international foundation dedicated to rebuilding the infrastructure of a war-tattered nation.

The idea for this book sprung from an encounter with Deborah Anderson, whose style in photography has been located by the Los Angeles Times as somewhere between classic French erotica and Helmut Newton. Like her father Jon Anderson, legendary lead vocalist of YES, Deborah has worked with many music talents over the years as singer songwriter.

Sally Mann
ID: 9489
Видавництво: Aperture

Діти, пейзажі, закохані – ці теми майже такі ж поширені у фотографічному лексиконі, як і саме світло. Але підхід Саллі Манн до цих культових тем, переданий як традиційними, так і езотеричними методами, зовсім не є поширеним.

Напрочуд оригінальні як за зображеннями, так і за технікою, роботи Манн постійно кидають виклик глядачеві: у її руках переживання, запозичені з повсякденного життя, перетворюються одночасно тривожними та піднесеними. Тепер, вивчивши стосунки між батьками та дитиною, художником та об'єктом зйомки, життям і смертю, Манн досліджує зв'язки між чоловіком і дружиною.

Вишукано деталізована, інтимна, психологічно та емоційно насичена, Sally Mann: Proud Flesh зачіпає територію, де найчастіше мешкають чоловіки-художники, що зображують своїх дружин та коханих жінок, коли Манн повертає камеру до свого чоловіка Ларрі, з яким вона прожила 39 років.

Красиві, текстуровані та провокаційні, ці безпрецедентні ню-етюди не об'єктивують і не прославляють; радше вони заходять глибоко під шкіру, щоб показати стосунки між чоловіком і жінкою, які є глибоко довірливими: чуттєвими, сексуальними, іноді болісними, часто невимовно ніжними та завжди бездоганно чесними.

Про автора:

Саллі Манн — відома американська художниця та авторка кількох книг про фотографію, що отримали схвальні відгуки критиків, а також мемуарів Hold Still, які стали фіналістом Національної книжкової премії. Вона досі живе в Лексінгтоні.

The amiably spontaneous pictures taken by Sam Shaw (1912–1999) are well known: the native and life-long New Yorker shot countless cover photographs for Life and Look in the fifties and sixties, and later also took the still images for the films he produced himself. Shaw and Marilyn Monroe were friends, and he captured her unique aura in countless unpretentious portraits. During the filming of The Seven Year Itch, he staged his probably best known picture with her: Marilyn standing over a subway grate, a waft of air blowing the skirt of her white dress above her knees.

Sam Shaw also portrayed almost every major Hollywood star of his day, consistently capturing the moment in his quest for truthfulness, with enthusiasm and from a new perspective, just as if he were selecting the camera angle for a film sequence. The researcher and author Lorie Karnath, the book’s editor, enhances the publication with very personal memories of her long-time friend.

Uncensored and provocative shots of models and artists

A decade after his sizzling debut A Private View, Sante D'Orazio returns with a second volume of photo-diary-scrapbook, covering 1997 to 2008. Uncensored and provocative, D'Orazio's shots are mounted in collage-style entries framed with candid, handwritten observations. All-night parties and day-long photo sessions provide the light and shade of D'Orazio's jetset lifestyle - celebrities, models, musicians, actors and artists all feature, in various states of dress and undress. Included here are Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Diane Kruger, Tricia Helfer, Stephanie Seymour, Liz Hurley, Jay-Z, Mickey Rourke, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Pam Anderson, Keith Richards, Axl Rose, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel and many more. Informal images contrast with posed shots, color with black and white, and outtakes are shown along published photos from the likes of Playboy and Interview. With a keen eye, this New York-based photographer creates a dynamic tableau of moods and styles. Access to this demi-monde is rare; capturing its essence in words and pictures, rarer still. Sante D'Orazio succeeds on both counts.

About the photographer:

Sante D'Orazio (b. 1956) is an internationally renowned photographer whose advertising campaign clients include Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria's Secret, Revlon, and L'Oreal, and whose editorial fashion shoots have featured in Vogue, Esquire, Town & Country, Max, Interview and Vanity Fair. His previous books include A Private View (1998), Sante D'Orazio: Photographs (2000), and Gianni and Donatella (2007).
