"This modern, refreshing examination of today’s American cowboys
and cowgirls is something people will want to revisit time and
time." — Yahoo “...captures the pioneering spirit of
modern cowboys and cowgirls, turning the camera on high-stakes
rodeos, hard-working ranchers and horseback rides across stunning
desert landscapes.” – Ailbhe Macmahon, Daily Mail
"Cowboys may be innately photogenic, but French photographer Anouk
Krantz has succeeded in capturing their lives and surroundings like
no other." —Graphius Magazine Having earned wide
acclaim for her bestselling Wild Horses of Cumberland Island (2017)
and West: The American Cowboy (2019), this new collection of work
that is American Cowboys is Anouk’s strongest work
yet. Join Anouk Masson Krantz in her solo journey across
America where she reveals the intimate lives and families of this
private, elusive icon of our American West. Through her lens Anouk
showcases an incredible journey from an outsider’s perspective
into the private world of the American cowboy. Real people
and real stories — a remarkable and inspiring story of people
coming together to share their lives and celebrate the nation’s
cowboy culture. This book is a must-have title among
Anouk’s fine collections of photographs. Anouk’s work has been
exhibited in galleries and museums across America. She is
renowned for her large-scale contemporary photography and her use
of white space that defines her elegant, minimalistic style.
Mystic Parallax is the first major monograph by rising
interdisciplinary artist Awol Erizku. Working across photography,
film, video, painting, and installation, his work references and
re-imagines African American and African visual culture, from hip
hop vernacular to Nefertiti, while nodding to traditions of
spirituality and Surrealism. This comprehensive monograph spans
Erizku's career, blending his studio practice with his work as an
in-demand editorial photographer working regularly for the New
Yorker, New York magazine, Time, and GQ, among others, and features
his conceptual portraits of Black cultural icons, such as Solange,
Amanda Gorman, and Michael B. Jordan. As Erizku recently told the
New York Times, "It's important for me to create confident,
powerful, downright regal images of Black people." Featuring essays
by critically acclaimed author Ishmael Reed, curator Ashley James,
and writer Doreen St. Felix, and interviews with the artist by Urs
Fischer and Antwaun Sargent, Mystic Parallax is a luminous and
arresting testament to the artist's tremendous power and
originality.
Angus Stewart has spent 10 years backstage with London's burlesque
community, getting to know the performers and documenting their
shared world to create what he calls 'a family album'. From the
beginning, his focus was on the personalities, rather than the
performances. He deliberately eschews the 'big reveal'. Instead,
his photographs capture the friendships, the laughter and the
camaraderie that characterise the burlesque scene. We are
introduced to a thriving community that values dedication and
loyalty, and where the exotic is always laced with humour; and we
hear from performers Rara Avis, Belle de Beauvoir, Cerise Rei, Lady
Cheek, Lady May, Lynn Ruth Miller and Vixen Victoire. Burlesque can
be provocative, it can be political, and it can be serious. But it
can also be a lot of fun. 'I discovered that while some performers
earn a living from burlesque, most have other jobs - anything from
seamstresses to doctors, to company directors. This huge melting
pot of professional experience, coupled with a variety of reasons
for wanting to perform, means that personal development is
encouraged. It's an incredibly supportive community, and I wanted
to try to capture that spirit.' - Angus Stewart
A new edition of the bestselling Every Picture Tells a Story from
one of the greatest photographers of the last 60 years, Terry
O'Neill. This updated edition includes 32 additional pages of new
stories behind some of the O'Neill's most iconic images. From the
morning he spent with Faye Dunaway at the pool in Beverly Hills, to
walking around Vegas with Sean Connery dressed as James Bond, a
chance encounter with Bruce Springsteen on the Sunset Strip, to
taking Jean Shrimpton to a doll hospital - these are the stories
behind the images as only Terry O'Neill can reveal. "I was walking
up the Miami Beach boardwalk to the Fontainebleau Hotel where
Sinatra was staying... I just reached out with the letter in my
hand and he took it. He opened it, read it... turned to his
security men and said, "this kid's with me." I never found out what
Ava said to him in that letter. From that moment on, I was part of
his inner circle." - Terry O'Neill From The Beatles to the Rolling
Stones, Terry O'Neill fast became the photographer of the 1960s.
Having an eye - and ear - for music and musicians, he instinctively
knew what bands to focus on. And they in turn trusted him. "I
remember sitting in a pub with the Beatles and the Stones. We were
just hanging-out and talking about what we'd do next, after all of
this was over. By this, we meant the fame, being the 'new kids of
the moment'. Usually, this sort of celebrity doesn't last. Little
did we know that 60 years later, we'd still be at it." Music led
O'Neill to Hollywood and working with stars resulted not only in to
memorable moments but long-lasting friendships. He travelled with
Frank Sinatra. Took Raquel Welch to the beach. Went in the ring
with Ali. Put The Who in a cage. O'Neill captured many of the most
unforgettable faces from the frontline of fame, and his photographs
exude his own brand of serene simplicity, intimate behind-the-scene
moments and the rare quality of trust between photographer and
subject. The list of people Terry O'Neill has worked with over the
past 60 years is a Who's Who in celebrity; from film to music,
sports to politics. Terry O'Neill: Every Picture Tells a Story is
like going through a walking tour of memory by a man who has seen,
met and photographed them all.
This is the collection of interviews with artists developed in two
phases; first researched from 1988-92 and published in "Cv
Journal"; then as an anthology, "Interviews with the Artists:
Elements of Discourse", (editions in 1993/1996/2001/2007). A second
phase was researched from January to July 2010, published as
"Interviews-Artists: Volume Two". "I-A V3" is published in
September 2011. "Cv/VAR 50" publishes an interview with the artist
Helen Chadwick recorded at her Beck Road studio in 1989. It
explores the body-action-photographic works distilled in
installations such as "Ego Geometria Sum" and "Of Mutability", and
the cromalin prints of 1989: "Viral Landscapes".
At the northern entrance to Prince Albert in the Great Karoo lies Northend, a neighbourhood home to a special group of people. They have a very special way of communicating with others through their stories, which indicate an inherent joy of life. However, judging by their environment and circumstances, it is clear that they have experienced many hardship, and for an outsider it is an enriching experience to meet them.
Every picture in Slow Down Look Again tells a story and is supported by explanatory text. These enable the reader to gain insight into the past and the present of this unique neighbourhood and its residents.
The joy and sorrows of the residents of Northend - as well as their scant earthly possessions - are illustrated through Louis Botha?s excellent choice of photographic backgrounds. And yet the absolute neatness of their homes illustrates a certain pride - poverty without dilapidation. The intimacy of the photographs ultimately leaves the reader enriched. We become witnesses not only to the extraordinary character of a close-knit community, but also of its trusting relationship with the person whom they have allowed to tell their story.
Louis Botha was born in Bloemfontein in 1955 and grew up on a small-holding north-east of Pretoria. After school he studied finance and followed a career in the Financial Services Industry. At the age of 40, and encouraged by his wife he pursued his hobby more seriously. He?s held several exhibitions and lives in Prince Albert.

Beirut born and based visual artist and creative director Eli
Rezkallah founded the visual arts magazine Plastik in 2009. It was
unlike anything that had been produced in the Middle East
previously, with photographs of drag queens, nudity, bold colour,
dramatic staging, and cutting edge visual stories by himself and
other artists. In addition to the magazine, Plastik is now a
studio, a gallery, and a social media presence. This book is a
best-of celebration of Eli Rezkallah's work from Plastik, capturing
his accessible, provocative, and socially astute work in a single
volume. "Plastik's gift to the world is beauty, colour, magic and
imagination. The gift is more important today than ever before."
