Candid and personal, dazzling with color and immediacy, this first
and only monograph of a rising star of the photography scene
features work from major labels and magazines, outtakes from
shoots, and newly commissioned texts by Edward Enninful and Ekow
Eshun on the importance of authentic diversity behind and in front
of the camera. From major portraits of the likes of Kendall Jenner,
FKA Twigs, and Tyler, the Creator to cover shoots for leading
magazines such as Time, Rolling Stone, and Garage, Campbell Addy
has quickly become one of the most in-demand photographers of his
generation. The book opens with a foreword by British Vogue's
editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, discussing the powerful
intersection of photography, race, beauty, and representation. This
is followed by a broad selection of Addy's striking photographs,
which range from prominent fashion and magazine commissions to
candid portraiture. Featuring recognizable cover shots alongside
unpublished outtakes and unseen photography, viewers are afforded
insight into Addy's creative process on set. Quotes from leading
Black figures including Naomi Campbell and Nadine Ijewere are woven
between Addy's striking imagery, in which these trailblazing Black
creatives reflect on the first time they felt seen in their
industry. The book closes with a deeper exploration of Addy's more
personal imagery and influences, paying tribute to the heritage of
Black photographers through the work of Ajamu and James Barnor. In
conversation with curator and writer Ekow Eshun, Addy balances his
own experiences as a queer, Black photographer who left his
Jehovah's Witness family home at sixteen with broader questions of
identity, intimacy, and art which face many creatives today.
Charged with energy, compassion and authenticity, this inaugural
monograph signals a major talent whose influence and stature will
only grow with time.
Very few celebrities are so iconic that their first name is all
that's needed in order to immediately recognise them. One
photographer has captured each and every one of these icons - and
more besides - on film. He goes by the name of Oscar Abolafia. You
can call him Oscar.
'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.
Over the past decade Micaiah Carter has established himself as one
of the most exciting and admired young photographers working in the
field of portraiture and fashion. With a vision all his own,
Carter's images are preternaturally sophisticated. His lighting is
intentional but not attention-seeking, and his subjects always seem
fully themselves, whether he's photographing a celebrity, a
musician, or a family member. Micaiah's portraits are sincere,
dignified representations of the sitters while staying true to his
distinctive aesthetic. His stylized ideas and assiduous attention
to color and light have culminated in a body of work that feels
timeless and pertinent at the same time.
A remarkable collection of prison "portraiture" photos
The complete, comprehensive resource for any photographer seeking
the best poses, this book features one thousand images, specially
selected to help photographers position models in an array of
different poses. Photographs and poses are placed in context within
the text, with reasons why they do (or sometimes don't) work. A
handful of poses are also accompanied by lighting diagrams, to give
an understanding of how the photo was created. The content is
organised into sub-sections, including standing and seated poses,
bodywork, movement, exaggerated poses, and expressions, for easy
navigation when preparing shots. Photographing Models features both
models and non-models of different ages, shot using different
lighting rigs and settings, making this book suitable for a vast
range of commercial and editorial applications.

the myriad of feelings that are brought on by this transformation
and the inseparable bond a new life brings. Revealing real
experiences and raw emotions, this book is a celebration of life
and a celebration of the human body.

Of the roughly 20,000 homeless youths in New York, up to 40 percent
of them are LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender). 'Sylvia's
Place' originated as the vision of Sylvia Rivera, a transgendered
woman, who was an advocate for LGBT rights during her life and
worked tirelessly for it even while stricken with cancer. This work
covers this topic.

*** 'Are you aging fabulously? Here's how.' Anna Murphy, The Times
'A lovely book celebrating female beauty over 40.' Top Sante 'You
become what you see. What you see determines what you believe - and
the most powerful way of inspiring people is with images. My goal
with AndBloom is to motivate women to embrace life without fear. To
provide examples of women between the age of 40 and, currently,
100, so that any woman can open this book and see themselves
recognized.' Denise Boomkens launched the AndBloom project on
Instagram in 2018, to create a 'happy place for women over 40' - a
community where women can be themselves and where aging is
celebrated instead of feared. In this, her first book, she shares
her own experiences of aging and brings together portraits and
interviews with more than 100 extraordinary 'ordinary' women to
create both a gloriously illustrated celebration of female beauty
over 40 and an empowering handbook to aging happily.

Actress, photographer, muse of artists such as Edward Weston and
Diego Rivera, political activist and author of pamphlets, Tina
Modotti (Udine, 1896 - Mexico City, 1942) played an active role in
major events of the first half of the 20th century. Tina Modotti
was at the centre of key events of the early 20th Century: the
cultural ferment of the Mexican renaissance, the Cuban revolution
and the heroic period of the Communist International, during which
her political commitment was expressed through bold, daring
actions. The book paints a vivid multifaceted portrait of this
extraordinary woman and includes around a hundred photographs in
which her quest for formal perfection is combined with her talent
for resolutely and passionately capturing the pulse of life. Text
in English, Italian and French.
"Any man that loves Bond will love to get this amazing book in
their life." - Men's Journal "A great coffee table book filled with
amazing photos of everyone's favourite spy." - Tom Lorenzo, Men's
Journal "No fan of 007 will want to miss this coffee-table
album..." - Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Terry O'Neill was
given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in
the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with
Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the
era of Daniel Craig. It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish
pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the
super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor
Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital
role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's
casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around
the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with
co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most
recognisable spy. Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers -
and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond.
Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by
insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the
world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke;
and newly conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in
O'Neill's photographs.
`It was the best of times it was the worst of times.' Maligned,
misunderstood and fetishized the 1980's stands as the decade when
post-modern life began in the west, and London was at the epicenter
of this shift. An explosion of creativity took place against a
backdrop of radical social change. London became a city of tribes.
The vast youth culture categories of the preceding decades
shattered into shards. It was the decade that sub-culture as a way
of life reached it's zenith before giving way to it's inevitable
scene surfing conclusion. Ridgers documented this cultural moment
obsessively. Punks, post-punks, cyber-punks, gothic punks, mods,
hard mods, Trojan skins, racist skins, ska, reggae, dub, early
electronica, synth pop, acid house, happy hardcore, Blitz Kids, New
Romantics, Hip-Hop, Rap, Electro, Break Beat, Techno, Rave - these
were all sub-cultural spaces with scenes attached in London in the
1980's. Unlike now, subcultures in the 1980's were not casual
playthings - they were a way of life for their participants. They
inspired profound loyalty. They were a beautiful a doomed flowering
of the hope for a better world. Derek Ridger's exquisite street
portrait photography has captured this creative decade beautifully.
