"Any man that loves Bond will love to get this amazing book in
their life." - Men's Journal "A great coffee table book filled with
amazing photos of everyone's favourite spy." - Tom Lorenzo, Men's
Journal "No fan of 007 will want to miss this coffee-table
album..." - Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Terry O'Neill was
given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in
the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with
Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the
era of Daniel Craig. It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish
pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the
super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor
Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital
role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's
casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around
the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with
co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most
recognisable spy. Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers -
and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond.
Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by
insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the
world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke;
and newly conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in
O'Neill's photographs.
Good Sick by Jordan Baumgarten is a photographic portrait of the US
opioid crisis, shown through its effects on one neighbourhood in
Philadelphia. The neighbourhood of Kensington is a nexus for those
in and around the city seeking heroin and all that it entails. The
supporting addiction based economy co-exists alongside everyday
life in the neighbourhood and in its surrounding landscape there
are signs and premonitions of disorder and confusion. The
photographs in this book depict chaos; nature encroaching on urban
decay; an ambiguity between magic and darkness; private moments
which are public; animals and humans roam free--fuelled by id, and
always, somewhere, there is a fire burning. The images in Good Sick
are a small proportion of those taken by Baumgarten, a native of
the city, between the winter of 2012 and the spring of 2017.
In his new book, Wounded: The Legacy of War, Bryan Adams presents
portraits of young British soldiers who have suffered life-changing
injury in Iraq and Afghanistan or during training. His lens bares
witness to their scars, disability and disfigurement. This
unexpected directness challenges the viewer. At the same time the
images reveal the sheer grit and bravery of the victims who,
despite personal sacrifice, live each day with continued vim,
vigour and dignity. What we see are staggering portraits of
inspiring individuals who whilst not faltering have stood the test
of war and lived to tell the tale. The images come with haunting
interviews which provide a narrative to each personal journey to
recovery.
John Arsenault's flowery photographs in For You! do not highlight
perfection but, rather, show the continual wrestling act between
beauty and decay. The result of a long-term exploration on the
seductive beauty of the rose, these intimate and varied images
stand as a symbol of the artist's budding ardor for his lover, now
husband. Historically, roses have been used to symbolize desire,
sexuality, seductiveness, and secrecy; this in-depth study is
testament to the continued potency of the time-honored symbol of
love. John Arsenault is internationally exhibited and has worked
with clients ranging from The New Yorker and Volkswagen to Goldman
Sachs and Out Magazine.

The Day May Break, photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020,
is the first part of a global series portraying people and animals
that have been impacted by environmental degradation and
destruction. The people in the photos were all affected by climate
change, displaced by cyclones and years-long droughts. Photographed
at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be
re-wilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close
to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The
fog on location is the unifying visual, as we increasingly find
ourselves in a kind of limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading
from view. However, in spite of their loss, these people and
animals are the survivors. And therein lies possibility and hope.

The first detailed study of what filmic images can tell us about
iconic photographs, No Power Without an Image reveals the
multifaceted connections between seven celebrated photographs of
political struggles, taken between 1936 and 1968, and cinema in all
its forms. Moving from the 'paper cinema' of magazines via
newsreels and film journals, to documentary, fiction and
experimental films, this fascinating book draws on original
archival research and multidisciplinary icon theory to explore new
ways of thinking about the confluence of still and moving images.
Paris has about 600 impasses, cites, villas and squares: streets
that come to a dead end - cul-de-sacs, as they used to be called in
French and are still called in English. Within the Peripherique,
Paris is the most densely populated city in Europe, with more than
20,000 inhabitants per square kilometre. This book depicts about
200 cul-de-sacs from the 1st to the 20th arrondissement for the
first time. The photographs offer a glimpse of part of Paris that
usually goes unnoticed. Text in English, French, and Dutch.

In the mid-1950s, Swiss-born New Yorker Robert Frank embarked on
a ten-thousand-mile road trip across America, capturing thousands
of photographs of all levels of a rapidly changing society. The
resultant photo book, "The Americans," represents a seminal moment
in both photography and in America's understanding of itself. To
mark the book's fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this
pivotal work and contributes a thoughtful and revealing critical
commentary. Though the importance of "The Americans" has been
widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery. This
comprehensive analysis places it thoroughly in the context of
contemporary photography, literature, music, and advertising from
its own period through the present.
This volume explores the lives of women in Iran through the social,
political and aesthetic contexts of veiling, unveiling and
re-veiling. Through poetic writings and photographs, Azadeh
Fatehrad responds to the legacy of the Iranian Revolution via the
representation of women in photography, literature and film. The
images and texts are documentary, analytical and personal. The
Poetics and Politics of the Veil in Iran features Fatehrad’s own
photographs in addition to work by artists Hengameh Golestan,
Shirin Neshat, Shadi Ghadirian, Abbas Kiarostami, Mohsen
Makhmalbaf, Adolf Loos, Gaëtan Gatian de Clérambault and Alison
Watt. In exploring women’s lives in post-revolutionary Iran,
Fatehrad considers the role of the found image and the relationship
between the archive and the present, resulting in an illuminating
history of feminism in Iran in the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries.
Winner of the 2020 Hugo Boss Prize One of the most intriguing
photographers of her generation, Deana Lawson's subject is black
expressive culture and her canvas is the African Diaspora. Over the
last ten years, she has created a striking visual language to
describe black identities, through figurative portraiture and
social documentary accounts of ceremonies and rituals. Lawson works
with large-format cameras and models she meets in the United States
and on travels in the Caribbean and Africa to construct arresting,
highly structured, and deliberately theatrical scenes animated by
an exquisite range of color and attention to surprising details:
bedding and furniture in domestic interiors or lush plants in
Edenic gardens. The body-often nude-is central. Throughout her
work, Lawson seeks to portray the personal and the powerful in
black life. Deana Lawson: An Aperture Monograph features forty-five
beautifully reproduced photographs and an extensive interview with
the filmmaker Arthur Jafa. "Outside a Deana Lawson portrait you
might be working three jobs, just keeping your head above water,
struggling. But inside her frame you are beautiful, imperious,
unbroken, unfallen." - Zadie Smith
Richard Long has been at the forefront of land art for more than
half a century. A pioneer of conceptual practices in the 1960s, his
expanded approach to sculpture has consistently taken the medium
out of the studio into the natural world and around the globe,
using time, space, distance, navigation, perception, the elements
and the geological forces that have shaped the landscape around us
as both his tools and his vocabulary. Many Rivers to Cross is a
thorough overview of Long's career, selected by the artist himself
and spanning the late 1960s to the present day. It covers his
practice in all its forms - walks, photographs, text works, large
installations, mud works and drawings, including some early
unpublished works as well as many seminal and celebrated projects.
A number of short 'back stories' written by Long not only provide
insight into the context and creation of key works, but also evoke
the sense of freedom and adventure of an epic journey across
foreign landscapes. Texts include a recent conversation between
Long and internationally acclaimed composer and musician Nitin
Sawhney; a dialogue about the recreation of Muddy Water Circle
(1994) at Frieze Masters in London with Lisson Gallery in 2013; and
a discussion with curator Alkistis Dimaki on the occasion of the
presentation of Athens Slate Line at the Acropolis, Athens, in
summer 2020. The book also includes documentation of works
presented internationally in museums and galleries. Using earth,
rocks, sticks and other natural materials and forces ranging from
water and gravity to clouds and constellations of stars, over the
course of his distinguished career Long has represented the primal
relationship between humankind, art and the landscape. In a modern,
post-industrial, digital world, his poetic and often profound
practice is a poignant reminder of the origins of life, of human
development and civilization, and of the fundamental, primordial
drive to create.
