Abandoned Melbourne presents a collection of photographs of the
perennially awarded world's most liveable city rendered empty,
abandoned and in Covid lockdown during 2020. Abandoned Melbourne
depicts Melbourne vacant, with the CBD's places and spaces,
customarily buzzing, rendered motionless and without life.
Landscape photographer Gavin John, a long-term resident of
Melbourne, turned his camera and his focus onto vistas of a
different nature and reveals downtown Melbourne as it has never
been witnessed before.
Abandoned buildings are a viewfinder into our heritage and often
offer a story to tell us, but not everyone will be lucky enough to
hear these stories before these buildings are gone forever. It was
this line of thinking that grew the author's passion for
discovering and exploring abandoned buildings, heritage sites and
locations not normally seen by the public eye. With camera in my
hand, he set out to find, visit, photograph and document as many of
these locations as he could before their stories are lost forever.
With over 140 eye-catching images from abandoned places such as
eerie old factories, crumbling asylums, untouched country theatres,
forgotten homes, all mixed with a small insight into their history,
Abandoned Brisbane is a showcase of just some of the amazing
locations within a few hours' drive of Brisbane.

One Photo A Day Keeps the Doctor Away is not a book to help you
improve your photography technique or skills. Through 160 photo
challenges it encourages you to slow down, look around and be more
aware of your surroundings. Some examples: - Take a photo of
yourself before and after a workout. See what happens to your face
- Photograph your house as if you were going to sell it - Meet up
with a friend and don't say where you are, show them in pictures -
Search the streets for something that is broken and photograph the
beauty of imperfection You don't need a fancy camera, the one on
your phone will do just fine. Anyone can practise being more
present through photography. To inspire you, each challenge is
accompanied by a carefully selected quote, sourced from a diverse
collection of thinkers, writers, artists and philosophers. Taking
out a moment in your busy day to create a thoughtful image will
sharpen your focus and creativity. And you can share your
discoveries, using the hashtag that goes with each challenge.
A substantial retrospective on one of the world's most remarkable
and critically acclaimed art photographers. Separated into four
parts, Ballenesque takes readers on a visual, chronological journey
through Roger Ballen's entire oeuvre, including both iconic images
and previously unpublished photographs. Part I explores his
formative artistic influences and his later rediscovery of boyhood
through photography, culminating in his first published monograph,
Boyhood, in 1979. Part II then charts the period between 1980 and
2000, during which time his deeper search for the elemental self
found its way into the 'Dorps', or small towns, of South Africa and
concluding with the release of his seminal monograph Outland. Part
III covers the years 2000-2013, when Ballen achieved global
recogition with Shadow Chamber and Boarding House and his work
began to veer away from portraiture altogether. Finally, in Part
IV, Ballen reflects upon his career in its entirety. With over 300
photographs and an introduction by eminent academic Robert J. C.
Young, this book provides both an entirely new way of seeing
Ballen's work for those who already follow his career and a
comprehensive introduction for those encountering his photographs
for the first time.
"... Any dog devotee will put it right on their coffee table the
second they open it." -Christina Vercelletto, CNN Underscored "...a
magnificent collection of photos of animals looking sweet,
innocent, thoughtful, tender and sublime." -Dave Johnson, Forbes
What makes dogs so unique? They are the only species that favour
the company of humans over their own kind. A dog looks at us with a
deep understanding and empathy perhaps greater than our own. In
this charming book of dog photography, Vincent Lagrange records
this treasured intimacy with our four-legged friends. Applying the
techniques of portrait photography, which he learned in his youth
at his father Marc Lagrange's studio, he captures our canine
counterparts in crisp, perfectly illuminated pictures that allow
their own soulful personalities to shine through. Text in English
and German.
