Photography See China in a whole new light. For several years,
Luxembourgish photographer and travel journalist Annette Morheng
has documented everyday life in the Middle Kingdom, a country where
tradition and progress constantly collide. Gathered together in
this vibrant new illustrated book, her pictures document Chinese
people, villages, and hutongs; temples and skyscrapers; natural
wonders and mega metropolises; the most remote provinces and
diverse ethnic groups. With an eye for authentic details and
interactions, Morheng captures the rapid change, local customs, and
internationality that make up China today. With immersive
first-hand reports accompanying the images, this reportage looks
beyond the traditional tourist gaze and leading media narratives to
explore a China rich with nature, culture and people! Text in
English and German.
A bold exploration of the role of the domestic interior in fashion photography and its importance in defining a new kind of fashion image. For three decades, the fashion image has shifted its focus from high-end shoots to the idiosyncratic, Instagram-style practice of pictures taken at home. That home may be a house, apartment or room – often, though not always, the antithesis of glamour and gloss. The Domestic Stage captures this fascination with the home as an 'uncurated' setting for presenting an individual’s private life and relationships, and for professional commissions with edge. Those behind the camera come from very different places, but all celebrate a sense of inventiveness and empowerment from working in the domestic space. How this space merged with the fashion image is revealed through the words and work of twenty-two such image-makers, most of whom talked personally to author Adam Murray. They include the pioneering Nigel Shafran; International Magic, who created virtual fashion shows with Martine Rose during the pandemic; and Carrie Mae Weems, whose 2024 Bottega Veneta campaign truly came 'home' – to show A$AP Rocky enjoying time with his children. Each and every contributor’s commentary is candid and revealing, their images even more so. The result is a provocative new take on fashion photography and its transformation in recent years.

What is it to practice history in an age in which photographs
exist? What is the impact of photographs on the core
historiographical practices which define the discipline and shape
its enquiry and methods? In Photographs and the Practice of
History, Elizabeth Edwards proposes a new approach to historical
thinking which explores these questions and redefines the practices
at the heart of this discipline. Structured around key concepts in
historical methodology which are recognisable to all
undergraduates, the book shows that from the mid-19th century
onward, photographs have influenced historical enquiry. Exposure to
these mass-distributed cultural artefacts is enough to change our
historical frameworks even when research is textually-based.
Conceptualised as a series of 'sensibilities' rather than a
methodology as such, it is intended as a companion to 'how to'
approaches to visual research and visual sources. Photographs and
the Practice of History not only builds on existing literature by
leading scholars: it also offers a highly original approach to
historiographical thinking that gives readers a foundation on which
to build their own historical practices.
