Continuing the tradition of creating the next level of breathtaking
pin-up girls in the modern world, internationally acclaimed
photographer and pin-up artist Celeste Giuliano presents her
classic style of pin-ups in stunning 3-D for the first time ever.
The pin-up girl has been a staple of classic American culture since
the 1920s. Featured on advertisements and novelty items, their coy
smiles and flirtatious ways captivated millions while selling
everything from colas to cars. During the 1950s, a whole new
dimension of tease gained popularity once these timeless beauties
were presented in 3-D. This book features all new images of the
classic girl next door that tease both on and off the pages in
breathtaking realism.

Jenny Sampson’s follow-up to her acclaimed collection of tintype
skateboarder portraits (Skaters, Daylight 2017) focuses on female
skateboarders. Although historically a male-dominated sport, there
have always been girls in the skate- boarding landscape. By turning
her lens on these members of the community all over California,
Washington and Oregon, Sampson hopes to increase visibility and
honor these girls, young and older, who have been breaking down
this gender wall with their skater girl power.
`Here Comes Everybody' is a phrase that echoes repeatedly through
the shifting dream-narrative of James Joyce's FinnegansWake. It
aptly captures the intense poetry of this new collection of
photographs by Chris Killip, taken over repeated trips to Ireland
between 1993 and 2005. On each visit Killip attended the annual
pilgrimages at Croagh Patrick and Mamean in the west of Ireland,
places of wild beauty and ancient spirituality. His poignant
photographs convey the dedication and community of the modern
pilgrims' journey as they make their way across shingled
mountainsides to take part in age-old rites. Images of the
pilgrims' trek are complemented by landscapes, townscapes and
details photographed in the west of Ireland and beyond. Presented
as a facsimile of an album of prints from a decade of travels, this
book includes the first colour photographs Killip has ever
published. This Limited edition features hand-tipped reproductions
and a signed and numbered print.
Terence Donovan (1936-1996) was one of the foremost photographers
of his generation, with a career spanning almost 40 years. He came
to prominence in London as part of a post-war renaissance in art,
design and music, representing a new force in fashion and, later,
advertising and portrait photography. He operated at the heart of
London's Swinging Sixties, both as participant in, and observer of,
the world he so brilliantly and incisively captured with his
camera. Born into a working-class family in East London, Donovan
was fascinated by photography and printmaking from an early age. He
opened his own studio in 1959 at the age of twenty-two and was
immediately sought after by a range of clients, including leading
advertising agencies and fashion and lifestyle magazines of the
time, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. Terence Donovan:
100 Fashion Photos brings together the very best of his fashion
photography, from his ground-breaking work in the sixties to the
superlative glamour of the supermodels of the nineties. Gifted with
an unerring eye for the iconic as well as the transformative,
Donovan was a master of his craft, a technical genius who pushed
the limits of what was possible with a camera. This stylish book
contains some of his most famous shots, as well as previously
unseen images, and is a perfect gift for lovers of both fashion and
photography.

Working with a large format 5x4 camera, Gli Isolani draws upon the
visual language of Tomlinson's previous projects, lending the black
and white photographs a veil of timelessness. At the project's
genesis, Alys researched the literature and poetry connected to the
history and culture of the islands of Italy, exploring tradition
and identity, ancient myths, folklore and fairy tales. Set against
crumbling stone and rural fields, the images depict the elaborate
and uncanny costumes and masks worn for Holy Week, and other events
and festivals, sometimes inspired by pagan ritual and beliefs. The
fantastical tales and precious costumes have been passed down many
generations within these communities where customs run deep. The
gestures and the costumes depicted in the photographs draw on the
relationship between man and the land, the sacred and the profane,
and good and evil.
It was in 1978, during my first summer of making portraits while
using an 8x10 inch large format camera, that I found myself drawn
to photographing redheads. I have often been asked; 'why redheads,'
and I've often felt it was because in summer redheads seem to bloom
in the sun more gloriously than the rest of us. But it also might
have been my living far out on the tip of Cape Cod, surrounded by
all the blue light of sea and sky, which made me pay more attention
to the flamboyant qualities of redheads. Their hair and the exotic
markings of their skin in sunlight became even rosier and more
astonishing in that blue atmosphere. Redheads, like film itself,
are transformed by sunlight. It seems natural to me now that I
would have paid attention to this new phenomenon as it appeared
within the larger subject of the Cape itself. After making more
than 50 portraits that first month, in which at least 30 were of
redheads, I understood that this was an impulse to be taken
seriously. I ran an ad in the local paper, the Provincetown
Advocate: "REMARKABLE PEOPLE! If you are a redhead or know someone
who is, I'd like to make your portrait, call...." They began coming
to my deck, bringing with them their courage and their shyness,
their curiosity and their dreams, and they shared their stories of
what it was like to be a redhead. They spoke of the painful
remembrances of childhood, the violations of privacy and name
calling-"Hey, red," "freckle face," "carrot head." They also shared
with me their sense of personal victory at having overcome this
early, unwanted celebrity, and how like giants or dwarfs or
athletes they had finally grown into their specialness and by
surviving had been ennobled by it. You could say that they had been
baptized by their own fire, and that their shared experience had
formed a "blood knot" among them. I had begun making portraits with
the intention of photographing ordinary people. But redheads are
both ordinary and special. Their slender slice of the genetic pie
accounts for only 2 or 3 percent of the world's population. As
different as redheads are in terms of nationality and religion,
they often give the appearance of a strong familial connection. My
way of making portraits is not by getting down on my hands and
knees, nor climbing high on a ladder, nor getting into bed with a
celebrity, but simply standing eye to eye with anyone has found
their way to me, young or old. I need only one or two sheets of
film and the patience to see it through. This new edition of
'Redheads' will have a number of new and previously unseen
portraits.

To celebrate the acquisition of the Tom Phillips archive, the
Bodleian Library has asked the artist to assemble and design a
series of books drawing on his themed collection of over 50,000
photographic postcards. These encompass the first half of the
twentieth century, a period in which, thanks to the ever cheaper
medium of photography, 'ordinary' people could afford to own their
portraits. Readers shows people reading (or pretending to read) a
wide variety of material from the Bible to Film Fun, either in the
photographer's studio, in their own home or holidaying on the
beach. Each book contains 200 images chosen with the eye of a
leading artist from a visually rich vein of social history. Their
covers will also feature a thematically linked painting, especially
created for each title, from Tom Phillips' signature work, A
Humument.

A new collection from the award-winning Magnum photographer. A
master of colour-saturated images, Harry Gruyaert has roamed the
world searching for the perfect light for more than forty years.
His very intuitive and physical sense of place immerses the
spectator in a world that borrows simultaneously from the cinematic
universe and from that of the painter. Dissolving the boundaries
between the exterior and interior, Between Worlds offers just such
a sensory immersion. No matter the setting, the country or the era,
Gruyaert deploys a luminous alchemy suspended in time. Where are
we? It doesn’t matter: in Gruyaert’s world, the pleasure of
getting lost reigns.
About "Exiles," Cornell Capa once wrote, "Koudelka's unsentimental,
stark, brooding, intensely human imagery reflects his own spirit,
the very essence of an exile who is at home wherever his wandering
body finds haven in the night. " In this newly revised and expanded
edition of the 1988 classic, which includes ten new images and a
new commentary with Robert Delpire, Koudelka's work once more forms
a powerful document of the spiritual and physical state of exile.
The sense of private mystery that fills these photographs--mostly
taken during Koudelka's many years of wandering through Europe and
Great Britain since leaving his native Czechoslovakia in
1968--speaks of passion and reserve, of his rage to see. Solitary,
moving, deeply felt and strangely disturbing, the images in
"Exiles" suggest alienation, disconnection and love. "Exiles"
evokes some of the most compelling and troubling themes of the
twentieth century, while resonating with equal force in this
current moment of profound migrations and transience.
Josef Koudelka (born 1938) has published ten books of photographs,
many of which focus on the relationship between man and the
landscape, including "Gypsies" (1975; revised and enlarged edition
in 2011), "Exiles" (1988), "Black Triangle" (1994), "Invasion 68:
Prague" (2008) and "Wall" (2013). Significant exhibitions of his
work have been held at The Museum of Modern Art and the
International Center of Photography, both in New York; Hayward
Gallery, London; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. Koudelka is the
recipient of the Medal of Merit awarded by the Czech Republic
(2002) and numerous other awards. In 2012, he was named Commandeur
de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of
Culture. He is based in Paris and Prague.
From its beginnings in York, Pennsylvania, in 1847, until the death
of Wallace L. Goodridge in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1922, the
Goodridge Brothers Studio was the most significant and enduring
African American photographic establishment in North America. The
studio was made possible by the financial success of the family
patriarch, William C. Goodridge, a York barber mined entrepreneur.
With the financial assistance of his father, young Glenalvin
Goodridge founded the studio in York in 1847. Glenalvin worked as a
successful daguerreotypist and ambrotypist, until the community's
perception of his own financial success and the family's
involvement in abolitionist activities resulted in his trial and
imprisonment. As a result of his imprisonment Glenalvin contracted
tuberculosis, which led to his untimely death.
With the outbreak of the Civil War and the circumstances
surrounding the trial, the family left York for new homes in
Minnesota and in East Saginaw, Michigan, where Glenalvin's younger
brothers, Wallace and William O. Goodridge, reopened the studio in
1863. During the next three decades the brothers worked as a team,
with William providing the artistic inspiration and Wallace the
financial direction. The brothers continued the family tradition of
excellence and innovation by concentrating on the latest
photographic images, including flash, panoramic, and motion
pictures.
In Enterprising Images, John Vincent Jezierski tells the story
of one of America's first families of photography, documenting the
history of the Goodridge studio for three-quarters of a century.
The existence of more than one thousand Goodridge photographs in
all formats (daguerreotypes to motion pictures) andthe family's
professional and personal activism enrich the portrait that emerges
of this extraordinary family. Weaving photographic and regional
history with the narrative of a family whose lives paralleled the
social and political happenings of the country, Jezierski provides
the reader with a complex family biography for those interested in
regional and African American, as well as photographic,
history.
A flaneur and photographer at once, Eugene Atget (1857-1927) was
obsessed with walking the streets. After trying his hand at
painting and acting, the native of Libourne turned to photography
and moved to Paris. He supplied studies for painters, architects,
and stage designers, but became enraptured by what he called
"documents" of the city and its environs. His scenes rarely
included people, but rather the architecture, landscape, and
artifacts that made up the societal and cultural stage. Atget was
not particularly renowned during his lifetime but in the 1920s came
to the attention of the Dada and Surrealist avant-garde through Man
Ray. Four of his images, with their particular fusion of mimesis
and mystery, appeared in the surrealist journal, La Revolution
Surrealiste, while Ray and much of his artistic circle purchased
Atget prints. Atget's fame grew after his death, with several
articles and a monograph by Berenice Abbott. Several leading
photographers, including Walker Evans and Bill Brandt, have since
acknowledged their debt to Atget. This fresh TASCHEN edition
gathers some 500 photographs from the Atget archives at Musee
Carnavalet and the Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris to
celebrate his outstanding eye for the urban environment and
evocation of a Paris gone by. Down main streets and side streets,
past shops and churches, through courtyards and arcades and the 20
arrondissements, we find a unique portrait of a beloved city and
the making of a modern photographic master. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

The Fotobus Society, founded by Christoph Bangert, provides a
network connecting more than 700 photographers who are currently
studying at German and European universities or photography
schools. Members have access to a wide range of cultural and social
activities offered by the association. At the heart of the
community is a 30-year-old bus that serves as a mobile photography
school and regularly carries members to photo festivals, symposia,
and professional events. This book is the second volume in a series
presenting selected works by members. Whereas the main mission of
the association is to promote exchange within the international
photography scene, the coronavirus pandemic prevented the artists
from travelling and meeting up as usual. For many of them, taking
photos became an outlet and a medium to communicate with the
"outside world". As a result, the projects showcased in this
publication also tell of the insecurity, hope, and distress of the
last months, giving an inside view of the experiences and stories
of people from around the world. In different ways, the images
document their lives and the spaces in which they live, or the
concepts and ideas, in which they believe.
