‘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.

William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales, Harry and
Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Prince George of Wales.
Presenting family photographs alongside important formal portraits,

As Others See Us is based on a new photographic exhibition from
Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned
partnership broad daylight. It forms part of Homecoming 2009,
celebrating the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. The
exhibition consists of 20 portraits of prominent and influential
Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice
Galloway. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter,
enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute
their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is
special to them and what they think it means to Scots today.
Naomi Campbell is a phenomenon. Still very much at the top of her game
after nearly four decades in the fashion industry, news of her
trailblazing work, both on and off the catwalk, continues to hit the
front pages as she pushes the boundaries of the fashion world.
Inspiring, creative, energetic and most definitely iconic, Campbell
stands apart as a unique force.
Opening with a specially commissioned interview by Tim Blanks, this
book showcases more than 20 of the most eloquent ensembles from across
her career, personally selected and discussed by Campbell herself. It
also explores the different facets of her success - from her work as a
model, a muse and brand builder, to life beyond the catwalk as a
cultural leader with her unerring support of emerging designers.
With spectacular looks from Azzedine Alaïa, Gianni Versace, Chanel,
Alexander McQueen and Kenneth Ize - to name but a few - this is an
exclusive look into the world of one of fashion's most talented and
enduring personalities.
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.

"Dramatic and startling" -- The Guardian. Witness Barack Obama as
you've never seen him before -- as feminist, communist, fashion
model, Jew, Muslim terrorist, Messiah, Superman, George Washington,
President Roosevelt, Julius Caesar and Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
Obama: 101 Best Covers shows America's ex-president in all these
guises and more, on the front pages of the world's leading print
publications. NEW BARACK PHOTO BIOGRAPHY During his two terms in
the White House, former US President Barack Obama amassed more
newspaper and magazine covers than any other in history. This new
post-presidency legacy book brings you the best 101 examples from
around the world, in a special commemorative edition celebrating
the startling event that was the 2008 election of America's first
African American leader. It presents a unique visual biography of
the background and accomplishments of his historic presidential
campaign. OBAMA & NEW YORK TIMES Featured titles within this
definitive collection include Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vogue,
Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, Ebony, Essence, Vibe, The
Guardian and The New York Times, amongst others. Many of the covers
featuring the 44th US president were flattering. He never looked
better than when he featured on the front of The New York Times or
Rolling Stone. (See pages 40 and 69 of the Obama book). DREAMS OF
AUDACITY & HOPE Many Barack Obama biography and legacy books
have been written by different authors in recent years. His
autobiography, Dreams Of My Father, as well as his memoir, The
Audacity Of Hope, detail Obama's life story better than any
biography by another author could, while the photographic portraits
offered in Obama books by Pete Souza and Peter Baker reveal the
intimate access they had to the White House's first African
American president during his two administrations. But this new
legacy book enters the Barack Obama story in 2004 with his very
first cover, for Black Enterprise, and then tracks Obama's US
presidential campaigns and elections of 2008 and 2012 through a
further 100 amazing covers. THE CALL OF HISTORY 2008 Amongst the
print media, Barack Obama was a publishing sensation - a fact borne
out by the volume of covers his portrait graced during his
eight-year American presidency. They range from graphic
illustrations to photographs of Obama giving speeches while on the
campaign trail, right through to intimate studio portraits. Many
depict him as the chosen one, the Messiah even. Obama was the one
who, out of the many, answered the call of history many thought
would never come, while exercising power that no other African
American leader before him has ever wielded on the political and
presidential stage. OBAMA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT IN WORDS The text
for the Obama covers book discusses the design, typography,
photography and political context of each cover portrait, bringing
to life this unique portrait of the world's most famous man.
BARACK: 4 COVERS FOR NO. 44 Obama: 101 Best Covers, is available in
FOUR collectable editions, each with a different cover. As a
souvenir, gift or inspirational Black History Month purchase for
2018, this is one the best Obama books with which to celebrate the
former US president's tenure in the White House. NEW OBAMA BOOK:
