Edward Steichen was already a famous painter and photographer when, in 1923, he was offered one of the most prestigious and most lucrative positions in photography – that of chief photographer for Condé Nast’s Vogue and Vanity Fair.

Over the next fifteen years, Steichen produced an oeuvre of unequalled brilliance, dramatizing and glamorizing contemporary culture and its achievers – in politics, literature, journalism, dance, theatre, opera and, above all, the world of high fashion.

The 1920s and 1930s represent the high point in Edward Steichen’s photographic career, and the work he did for Condé Nast will stand forever among the most striking creations of 20th-century photography. The list of Steichen’s portraits is astounding in its range.

Steichen created a new style of fashion photography: his crisp, detailed, high-key style is a strong wind felt in the field to this day – George Hoyningen-Huene, Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe and Bruce Weber are only his most illustrious descendants.

The Steichen archive at Condé Nast contains more than two thousand original vintage prints. A few of the images are well-known and indeed feature as iconic images in various histories of photography. Until now, however, no more than a handful of these prints has been exhibited or published.

Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston (1886-1958). After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft-focus techniques, Weston became the key pioneer of the school of precise and sharp presentation, dubbed “Straight Photography.” Through the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, Weston was a major force in pushing forward the art of photography. His photographs are monuments of sensual realism, perfectly composed images of stillness that sear with passion and intensity. Whatever the subject, be it a vegetable, landscape, shell, or naked body, Weston’s lens captures the essence of its life force, the fundamentals of its form.

The Life and Art of Edward Weston

Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston (1886-1958). After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft-focus techniques, Weston became the key pioneer of the school of precise and sharp presentation, dubbed "Straight Photography."

Uncompromising Passion. The sensual and straight photography of Edward Weston

Edward Weston’s classic images are among the best-known examples of midcentury American photography. This monograph brings together some of Weston's finest works to present his artistic evolution, from painterly observations to what became his signature “Straight Photography” style, which explored the intricacies of natural forms in a myriad of dramatic landscapes and sensual nudes.

Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston (1886–1958). After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft-focus techniques, he became the driving figure behind a group of West Coast artists dubbed Group f/64, which pioneered the sharp, precise school of “Straight Photography.” With that stylistic leap, Weston’s career moved into high gear, creating photographs of extraordinary sensual realism, perfectly poised between compositional stillness and searing intensity.

With nudes, nature studies, and myriad perspectives on the dramatic Californian landscape, Weston’s works aimed to locate the “very substance and quintessence of the thing itself.” In this concise monograph, we gather some of the finest Weston works to explore how he pursued and achieved this aim whether with a landscape, shell, or naked body.

Few photographers created such an enduring legacy as Edward Weston; few so profoundly influenced the techniques of what can rightly be called pure photography.

Beginning in 1911, when he opened his own portrait studio in California, and over the next four decades, Weston was a major force, constantly pushing the art of photography forward. Focusing on natural forms – the human figure, especially the nude female, seashells, plants, landscapes – he moved away from pictorialism and romanticism to produce a body of work that represented the new modernism, highly sophisticated in its imagery and style.

This book surveys Edward Weston's work more exhaustively than any previous work. A combination of biography and critical analysis, it contains more than 320 photographs meticulously reproduced in duotone. The vintage prints, selected from the Weston archives and the important Lane Collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, trace Weston's development from his early days to the final part of his career as a photographer, tragicallly cut short by the onset of Parkinson's disease.

They're not your girls next door. Fashion and fetish in a female fantasyland

Ellen von Unwerth was a supermodel before the term was invented, so she knows a thing or two about photographing beautiful women. Now one of the world’s most original and successful fashion photographers, she pays homage to the world‘s most delectable females in Fräulein. This celebration of our era’s sexiest female icons includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci and dozens more.

Switching effortlessly between colour and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth‘s photography revels in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile, her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so enchantingly combined. These images were shot over the last 15 years and many are previously unpublished.

This stunning assembly of work was personally selected by Erwitt himself. Most of these images have never been published before. The generous trim size and large number of double-page spreads allow you to admire the master's technique and artistry up close. Every image is photography at its most ebullient and life-enhancing and each reflects the scope of Erwitt's observant and eclectic eye. Here is a fitting tribute to this Magnum photographer who has shot such Hollywood legends as Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe, yet whose delight in everyday irony has captured many witty moments, including his famous portraits of people and their dogs.

Born in Paris in 1928, Elliott Erwitt arrived in the U.S. in the late 1930s. Establishing himself in the 40s and 50s as a leading magazine photographer, he joined the prestigious Magnum Agency in 1953. In addition to his work in magazines, he achieved great success as an advertising photographer. He currently lives in New York City.

Intriguing images from a master photographer. An ideal gift for lovers of New York and its spirit

It is a memorable tribute to a great city and a reflection of a great photographer’s genius.

Essential for all lovers of Paris and all things Parisian
A wonderful addition to the Elliott Erwitt series by teNeues

Yes, we’ll always have Paris and who better to capture all its moods than the inimitable Elliott Erwitt? With a keen eye for the real city, Erwitt sees beyond the tourist clichés. Whether the mightiest of monuments or the charm of la vie quotidienne this master photographer chronicles it all. Alternating intimate details with grand vistas, Erwitt captures the true flavor of la metropole.

Born in Paris in 1928, Elliott Erwitt arrived in the U.S. in the late 1930s. Establishing himself in the ’40s and ’50s as a leading magazine photographer, he joined the prestigious Magnum agency in 1953. In addition to his work in magazines, he achieved great success as an advertising photographer and filmmaker. He currently lives in New York City — but spends a great deal of time in Paris.

Containing over 500 pictures, this is a comprehensive survey of the work of photographer Elliott Erwitt. It features his famous images like Nikita Kruschev and Richard Nixon arguing in Moscow in 1959 and Marilyn Monroe with the cast of the movie "The Misfits", along with many more personal images of places, things, people and animals. Erwitt's unmistakable, often witty style gives us a snapshot of the famous and the ordinary, the strange and the mundane over a period of more than half a century. The foreword is written by Murray Sayle and there are chapter introductions by Charles Flowers. Both writers are personal friends and admirers of Erwitt. Broken into nine chapters with single word titles such as "Read", "Move", "Play" and "Tell", the images in each chapter relate to the title, sometimes literally, sometimes obliquely, sometimes punningly and often ambiguously - in keeping with Erwitt's playful style.

Альбом состоит из более 500 фотографий, более чем половина которых никогда не издавались прежде. Эллиот Эрвитт: простые снимки (Elliott Erwitt: Snaps) - уникальный и всесторонний обзор работы великого мастера. В книге можно увидеть самые разные его творения: от культовых фотографий, таких как спор Никиты Хрущева и Ричарда Никсона в Москве в 1959 и Мэрилин Монро на съемках фильма «Неприкаянные», до менее знаменитых фотографии, которые мастер делал в основном для себя: фотографии мест, вещей, людей и животных, которые понравились ему. Целая эпоха жизни Америки и мира представлена в этом альбоме сквозь призму остроумного взгляда этого мудрого и талантливого человека.

Книга состоит из девяти глав, каждая имеет название, состоящее всего лишь из одного глагола: Смотри, Двигайся, Играй, Читай, Отдыхай, Прикасайся, Говори, Показывай, Стой. Этим самым Elliot Erwitt говорит нам о том, что важно для него в искусстве фотографии: основные поступки, такие простые и необходимые, которые составляют нашу жизнь. И не фотографии в этом альбоме должны иллюстрировать слова, а слова поясняют значение каждой из фотографий. Слова - такие остроумные и двусмысленные, как и визуальные игры мастера.
