New York in black-and-white from the master photographer Serge Ramelli

Black-and-white urban photography has a unique effect: It can lend a historical feel or bring out perspectives and surfaces in a special way. Serge Ramelli’s New York photos do both — and much more. With his film director’s eye, he searches out locations using parameters that evoke a specific atmosphere and build tension. The New York skyline or typical New York street scenes are stylized into a stage — but a stage where nothing is required to happen. Their impressiveness is so heightened that a movie automatically plays in the viewer’s head. With New York boasting so much history and evocativeness, nothing more is needed. Although he is similar to Ansel Adams in technique and expression, Serge Ramelli is a contemporary photographer in every sense of the word, constantly experimenting with new technical options.

After Paris, New York was Serge Ramelli’s choice of second instalment for his photographic diptych of contemporary cityscapes, and it’s certainly no coincidence that the photographer selected this super-sized city as the subject of his second book. How could he fail — he, the self-taught photographer — to pay homage to this, the city of the willing, the self-made men, and the resourceful? And how could this great lover of cinema have chosen any other backdrop or any other film location than that of the Big Apple, made immortal by more than a century of legendary cinematography? An eager lover of dramatic imagery, Serge Ramelli is constantly on the lookout for spectacular lighting, whether natural or artificial, and with its gigantic advertising and garish boards New York is an almost perfect city for such a hunt.

In 2001, Nick Brandt embarked on an ambitious photographic project, a trilogy of books memorialising the vanishing natural grander of East Africa. Focusing on of the world's last great populations of large mammals; elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas and their kin, he created two of the new century's most influential photographic books: On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). His iconic portraits of these majestic animals express and empathy usually reserved for human subjects. The magisterial On This Earth, A Shadow Falls collects the most memorable images from Brandt's first two books, along with their accompanying essays. A testament to the bookmaker's craft, it is the first volume on Brandt's work to capture the superb quality of his remarkable, large format prints, which are notable for their velvet blacks and tonal subtleties. Brandt is currently completing the final volume of his trilogy documenting the fate of the great animals of East Africa.

More than 400 pictures of Nick Knight’s creative output of the past decade: his campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Levi Strauss, his collaboration with Björk, Peter Saville, Massive Attack, Hussein Chalayan, and many others present Nick Knight’s inexhaustible inventiveness in combining shock and beauty, form and color, elegance and wit into a vision of what fashion photography of the future might look like.

Nick Knight, born in London in 1958, ranks among the international elite of the young generation of master photographers. Very early on, the fashion, commercial advertising and portrait photographer created an oeuvre of trailblazing aesthetic standards, a benchmark in virtually all sectors of applied and free photography. His clients are leading fashion designers, such as Yohji Yamamoto, Christian Dior, Jil Sander, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier, and international magazines. This book was first published in 1994 as a review of fifteen years of artistic activity. The getup itself was outstandingly aesthetic: bound in artificial blue velvet suede, designed by the English designer Peter Saville and printed with the Novaspace technique, which imparts to the photographs in Nicknight an unusual optical luster.

Born in 1940, Nobuyoshi Araki is arguably Japan’s greatest living photographer, and certainly its most controversial. His inexhaustible creative energy is attested to by the more than 300 books he has published in the last four decades, while his work, which often challenges social taboos surrounding sex and death, has drawn critical attention both at home and abroad. In 1971 Araki privately published Sentimental Journey, an intimate account of his honeymoon with his wife Yoko. In the Preface to this book, Araki declared that his ‘point of departure as a photographer was love ... and the idea of an I-novel [a form of Japanese fiction written autobiographically and in the first person]’. With this statement, Araki established the genre of ‘I-photography’, in which his own life and feelings became the central subject of his work. The idea was to have a great impact on a new generation of Japanese photographers, especially in the 1990s. By 1990, the year of Yoko’s death, Araki had produced an immense body of work. Through his photographs he has created his own universe, where the themes of sex, life and death are closely intertwined. Tokyo, Araki’s home city, often plays a leitmotif in his work, while his rich visual vocabulary is drawn from the erotic Shunga of the Eda period (1600–1867) as well as the glossy imagery of the new commercial culture.

Through his innovative approach to his medium – sometimes combining painting, drawing and film – Araki has become an influential figure in contemporary art, beyond the field of photography. This major publication provides the most comprehensive overview yet of Araki’s prolific 40-year career. Araki’s key series of works are included alongside many rare and previously unpublished photographs. Featuring an interview and essays by writers from Japan and Europe, this book examines Araki from a broad range of perspectives and gives a cultural context to his work. Also included are a large selection of Araki’s writings, translated into English for the first time, as well as complete illustrated and annotated bibliography of his own books. Reflecting Araki’s principle of ‘I-photography’, the book is divided into three sections that follow the main recurring themes in his work: Self, Life and Death.

Kishin Shinoyama is the grandmaster of contemporary Japanese photography.

From his beginnings in 1959 he has been obsessed with the nude female body. Shinoyama's erotic oeuvre is both a visual parade of earthly passions between heaven and hell and a journey through fifty years of erotic zeitgeist oscillating between art and kitsch, the sublime and the vulgar, joy and grief, pleasure and pain, classics and pop.

With a thematic explanatory introduction by the artist and fascinating behind-the-scene images, illustrating the ideas and inspirations for the artworks and their production process

Our daily lives are overwhelmed by visual stimuli. With his works, Berlin artist Yoram Roth creates a counter-draft by placing a certain focus in the picture and thus giving the work an additional dimension, thus inviting us to linger. This luxurious new coffee table book, Nudes in Steel, gathers Roth’s latest works that have a particular focus on the human body. It documents Yoram Roth’s discovery, and mastery of the unique photographic language of crops, which has become his signature style. The collection spans four Yoram Roth series, each of which bring image details to the foreground with the help of steel frames.

The carefully created book reveals the artistic motivation and technical innovation behind these masterpieces in steel.
