Platinum Jubilee edition 'Full of gems ... Angela Kelly is a jewel
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.
Representing Wars from 1860 to the Present examines representations
of war in literature, film, photography, memorials, and the popular
press. The volume breaks new ground in cutting across disciplinary
boundaries and offering case studies on a wide variety of fields of
vision and action, and types of conflict: from civil wars in the
USA, Spain, Russia and the Congo to recent western interventions in
Afghanistan and Iraq. In the case of World War Two, Representing
Wars emphasises idiosyncratic and non-western perspectives -
specifically those of Japanese writers Hayashi and Ooka. A central
concern of the thirteen contributors has been to investigate the
ethical and ideological implications of specific representational
choices. Contributors are: Claire Bowen, Catherine Ann Collins,
Marie-France Courriol, Eliane Elmaleh, Teresa Gibert, William
Gleeson, Catherine Hoffmann, Sandrine Lascaux, Christopher Lloyd,
Monica Michlin, Guillaume Muller, Misako Nemoto, Clement Sigalas.
The Landscape of Murder documents all the sites where murders
occurred in London between January 1st, 2011 and December 31st,
2012. In total 209 murders were committed over this two year
period. Most murders make the news for only a fleeting moment and
the landscape in which they occur reverts back to normality very
quickly after the forensic teams leave. Yet the scars remain,
sometimes subtle, sometimes very open, whether a single solitary
flower or the gathering of grieving family and friends. Sometimes
nothing remains to show that a life has ended violently in a
particular location. Antonio Zazueta Olmos seeks to give memory to
what are mostly forgotten events, in unseen places where great
violence has occurred. A violence that is mostly silent, private
and unseen by the wider public. The project has taken him to parts
of London he knew little or nothing about and in the process he has
created an alternative portrait of London, one shaped by violence
and inequality.
Understanding Photojournalism explores the interface between theory
and practice at the heart of photojournalism, mapping out the
critical questions that photojournalists and picture editors
consider in their daily practice and placing these in context.
Outlining the history and theory of photojournalism, this textbook
explains its historical and contemporary development; who creates,
selects and circulates images; and the ethics, aesthetics and
politics of the practice. Carefully chosen, international case
studies represent a cross section of key photographers, practices
and periods within photojournalism, enabling students to understand
the central questions and critical concepts. Illustrated with a
range of photographs and case material, including interviews with
contemporary photojournalists, this book is essential reading for
students taking university and college courses on photography
within a wide range of disciplines and includes an annotated guide
to further reading and a glossary of terms to further expand your
studies.
From 1945 to 1950, during the formative years of his career,
Stanley Kubrick worked as a photojournalist for "Look" magazine.
Offering a comprehensive examination of the work he produced during
this period--before going on to become one of America's most
celebrated filmmakers--"Stanley Kubrick a""t "Look""" Magazine"
sheds new light on the aesthetic and ideological factors that
shaped his artistic voice. Tracing the links between his
photojournalism and films, Philippe Mather shows how working at
"Look" fostered Kubrick's emerging genius for combining images and
words to tell a story. Mather then demonstrates how exploring these
links enhances our understanding of Kubrick's approach to narrative
structure--as well as his distinctive combinations of such genres
as fiction and documentary, and fantasy and realism. Beautifully
written and exhaustively researched, "Stanley Kubrick a""t "Look"""
Magazine" features never-before-published photographs from the
"Look" archives and complete scans of Kubrick's photo essays from
hard-to-obtain back issues of the magazine. It will be an
indispensable addition to the libraries of Kubrick scholars and
fans.
A decade of rapid change caught by two of Ireland's premier

as well as the start of unrest in Northern Ireland. Will evoke
memories of a bygone age.
Michael Katakis has spent his life travelling with a camera and
writing a journal. This is the resulting book. For the past 25
years he has collaborated with the social anthropologist Kris
Hardin in work spanning continents and cultures. Their initial
project was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC,
photographing and interviewing veterans and civilians alike, the
result of which was a moving portrait of America's strengths,
sacrifices and errors during a profoundly divisive time in the
nation's history. A different and disturbing portrait of the
country emerges in 'Troubled Land: Twelve Days Across America'
where Michael Katakis sought to have a dialogue with ordinary
people right after September 11 2001. In between these projects
were two periods of fieldwork in Sierra Leone documenting the
people of a village before their bloody civil war began. His fine
photographs were given an added, unintended significance by the
awful events that followed. From Michael Palin's Introduction:
'Michael Katakis is an indefatigable traveller. Driven by a
restless curiosity and a belief in the importance of the individual
against the system he puts his humane and enquiring ear to the
ground and picks up signals that are salutary, precise and
stimulating. His thoughtful words and pictures confer dignity and
provoke indignation in equal measure. He guides our eye and our
conscience without ever having to resort to hustle or harangue.
There is a peacefulness at the heart of his work which gives us
time to think.'
