‘An important piece of fashion history.’ – Vogue
Intimate and elegant photographs taken just before Kate Moss’s rise to
fame, in a stylish new edition
This gorgeously produced book features intimate portraits of a young
and undiscovered Kate Moss, taken in the early 1990s by her
then-boyfriend, Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. Seen by Calvin
Klein, the photographs gave life to the famous Obsession campaign,
which launched Moss to international superstardom.
Sumptuously reproduced in tritone, Kate is a stunning photographic
portfolio of one of contemporary culture’s most iconic figures. It
includes an introductory essay by Sorrenti, which puts the work in its
uniquely personal context. This book, which celebrates the dawn of two
legendary careers, and the start of the highly influential aesthetic of
1990s fashion photography, is a must-have for Kate Moss’s fans, for
fashion devotees, and for lovers of traditional portraiture and fashion
photography.
A photographic journey, including a selection of previously
unpublished images, that reveal the man 'behind the scenes' at work
and play. A new and often surprising portrait of this major musical
genius. Benjamin Britten was one of the most important cultural
figures in England in the twentieth century. Internationally
renowned as a composer, performer, and founder of the Aldeburgh
Festival and English Opera Group, he had a careerspanning nearly
five decades, producing a series of works such as Peter Grimes and
the War Requiem that caught the public imagination, and becoming a
familiar figure to worldwide concert and TV and radio audiences
through his conducting and song recitals with his partner, the
tenor Peter Pears. Behind this public face, however, Britten was an
intensively private man, who valued perhaps more than anything the
time he spent at home on the Suffolk coast, composing and enjoying
a settled domestic life. Britten in Pictures celebrates the many
facets of Britten's life in a major new photographic treatment
timed to coincide with the composer's centenary in 2013. Using the
wealth of images housed in the collections of The Britten-Pears
Foundation at Aldeburgh, the book charts the curve of Britten's
life, using a selection of rare and previously unpublished images
to reveal him anew in all phases of his career, catching a
multitude of informal glimpses of the man 'behind the scenes' at
work and play as well as in more familiar formal settings. The
result is a new and often surprising portrait of this major musical
genius. Published in association with The Britten-Pears Foundation.

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.
California, the Golden State, is steeped in cliche like almost
nowhere else: palm trees, beach-blonde surfers, aspiring actors and
tail-finned cars, all bathed in endless sunshine. Sally Davies,
acclaimed New York street photographer and author of New Yorkers,
heads west to capture the images and listen to the voices of
everyday Californians in their own homes, hoping to delve beneath
the ubiquitous stereotypes. She finds light and space, swimming
pools and enticing views of the stunning natural surroundings
encroaching through the walls. Posing for her in bedrooms, garages
and patios, Davies discovers vibrant multicultural communities,
eccentric stories of hopes and dreams, tales of gridlocked traffic,
urban sprawl, air pollution and all aspects of the entertainment
industry. Among the voices are well-known figures, Linda Ramone and
actor Eric McCormack, accompanied by a cast of models, producers, a
high-court judge, artists, stylists, writers, musicians, lawyers,
magicians and many more.

in the crown' Daily Telegraph 'Entertaining and beautifully
illustrated' The Sunday Times 'For real intel, [The Crown] can't
come close to The Other Side of the Coin by Angela Kelly' The New
York Times 'When Angela Kelly and The Queen are together, laughter
echoes through the corridors of Buckingham Palace.' Angela worked
with The Queen and walked the corridors of the Royal Household for
twenty-eight years, initially as Her Majesty's Senior Dresser and
then latterly as Her Majesty's Personal Advisor, Curator, Wardrobe
and In-house Designer. As the first person in history to hold this
title, she shared a uniquely close working relationship with The
Queen. Her Majesty personally gave Angela her blessing to share
their extraordinary bond with the world. Whether it was preparing
for a formal occasion or brightening Her Majesty's day with a
playful joke, Angela's priority was to serve and support. Sharing
never-before-seen photographs - many from Angela's own private
collection - and charming anecdotes of their time spent together,
this revealing book provides memorable insights into what it was
like to work closely with The Queen, to curate her wardrobe and to
discover a true and lasting connection along the way. Revised and
updated to mark The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, this special edition
of The Other Side of the Coin contains chapters covering the Royal
Household's isolation during the pandemic, Angela's own devotion to
service to keep the monarch safe, and the light and laughter that
was shared behind closed doors, even in the darkest moments.

A celebrated photographer for 40 years, Ellen Graham has worked
with magazines across America, photographing some of the world's
most talked-about people: actors, artists, performers, socialites,
and the glitterati that we are all obsessed with. Graham's images
strike a balance between the glamour of a formal Hollywood photo
shoot and the intrigue of a tabloid expose for a true intimate look
at such legendary figures as Frank Sinatra, Natalie Wood, Warren
Beatty, and Carrie Fisher. Whether shooting actors, performers, or
European royalty, she redefines the resonating myths that have come
to surround these figures. Talking Pictures brings together over
200 images culled from Graham's work for such magazines as People
and Time, her personal archives, and her collection of family
photographs, accompanied by a personal narrative that takes you
behind the scenes of each celebrated image and breathes life into
the glamour of Hollywood's golden age.
