Since they were founded in 2001, Trolley Books has been highly
regarded as a maverick independent publisher of photography,
reportage, contemporary art and recently, literature. Trolley's
founder Gigi Giannuzzi is a well-known figure in the publishing and
photographic industries for his original and dynamic approach to
photobook publishing as well as his unrelenting support of
photographers and important but underexposed stories. In a shock to
the photography and publishing worlds he was diagnosed with cancer
last year and passed away on Christmas Eve. Shortly before he died
work began on a new book TROLLEYOLOGY, a look at the story behind
Gigi and Trolley, which also will mark our first decade in
publishing.
John Davies began photographing both the rural and urban landscape
in the 1970s and this book brings together his early images
alongside new contemporary works evisiting the same landscapes -
mapping both equilibrium and change. These pairs of images are made
from the same vantage point, and tell of the alterations made by
human activity and bear witness to cultural and social changes over
nearly four decades.
Emotionally resonant photographs of everyday life in the Jewish
Lodz Ghetto taken during WWII From 1941 to 1944, the Polish Jewish
photographer Henryk Ross (1910-91) was a member of an official team
documenting the implementation of Nazi policies in the Lodz Ghetto.
Covertly, he captured on film scores of both quotidian and intimate
moments of Jewish life. In 1944, he buried thousands of negatives
in an attempt to save this secret record. After the war, Ross
returned to Poland to retrieve them. Although some were destroyed
by nature and time, many negatives survived. This compelling
volume, originally published in 2015 and now available in
paperback, presents a selection of Ross's images along with
original prints and other archival material including curfew
notices and newspapers. The photographs offer a startling and
moving representation of one of humanity's greatest tragedies.
Striking for both their historical content and artistic quality,
his photographs have a raw intimacy and emotional power that remain
undiminished. Distributed for the Art Gallery of Ontario
The unfolding events in the run up to the Iraq war had given Tom
Hurndall, a 21-year-old British photojournalist, an increased
curiosity and desire to journey to the Middle East. In February
2003, initially as an observer alongside the Human Shields, he left
with a passion to make a difference, to record and photograph the
truth for himself. We follow his journey first from Baghdad, then
to Amman and the Al-Rweished refugee camp in Jordan, and finally on
to the town of Rafah in Gaza close to the Egyptian border, where US
peaceworker Rachel Corrie had been killed just weeks previously, On
April 11th, unarmed and wearing and internationally recognized
orange peacekeeper jacket, he was severely wounded while carrying
Palestinian children to safety. He died nine months later in a
London hospital. The book follows Tom's life and thoughts in the
final weeks leading up to the shooing. Motivated by a sense of
injustice and striving to remain objective we are drawn into his
increasingly serious photographs and words, through extracts from
his diary, emails and poems. It is realised through collaboration
with the Hurndall family on the sixth anniversary of the fateful
day, and with the recent Channel 4 film-documentary 'The Shooting
of Thomas Hurndall'.
Easton's photographs, alongside texts by writer, poet and social
researcher Abdul Aziz Hafiz, aim to confront stereotypes and
question the dangerous over-simplification of the challenges facing
such communities. They do so by presenting the contemporary
experience of residents as an 'alternative history telling'. The
black and white photographs in the book were all made in an area
less than half a mile square in Blackburn during 2019 and 2020.
Working with a large-format wooden field camera, Easton spent long
days and weeks in the neighbourhood talking to residents and
sometimes making pictures. The project melds image and text -
Easton's portraiture and landscapes combined with poetry and an
essay by Aziz Hafiz and with the testimonies of residents. This
long-form collaboration acknowledges the issues and impacts of
social deprivation, housing, unemployment, immigration and
representation, as well as past and present foreign policy. The
result is a collective and nuanced portrait of the town - a
sensitive response to the oversimplistic representation of such
communities in both the media and by government, which deny the
right of Bank Top to tell its own story.
Returning to the North East in 2001 to document the Durham
Coalfield, at one time the heartland of the British coal industry,
Chris Steele-Perkins found himself in that exurban culture that we
now associate with "Billy Elliot". This world of "lamping" (for
rabbits), ferreting, whippet racing, grouse shooting, pigeon
fancying and the rearing of birds of prey is a survival of what D.
H. Lawrence once described as "a curious cross between
industrialism and the old agricultural England of Shakespeare and
Milton". Chris Steele-Perkins has memorably recorded this with
visual wit, and a constant eye for the extraordinary. Nor is he at
all sentimental: the harsh realities of blood-stained
slaughter-houses and the vandalism of fly-tipping in the open
countryside aren't excluded. His photographs, he says, "serve as
both eulogy and elegy".
For 45 years I've chronicled the Royal Family for the Sun newspaper
with my camera. I've witnessed their triumphs and disasters, their
laughter and tears, when they've found love and when their
relationships splinter. I'm there when they emerge from the
maternity wing as wailing newborns and I'm there again when they
marry before a joyous nation. And when they're laid to rest on
those solemn occasions that this country marks so well, I'm on hand
to capture history being made. Arthur Edwards has been the Sun's
Royal Photographer for over 45 years; the longest-serving of any
newspaper. Originally from the East End of London, he is the man
behind the most iconic photographs of the most famous family in the
world. With commensurate skill and unprecedented access, he has
captured the candid moments when protocol is put aside, revealing
the true personalities behind the Crown. This beautiful book is a
treasure trove of glorious photography, along with Arthur's own
warm recollections of the stories behind his iconic shots. It is
the perfect glimpse behind the scenes of the last 50 years of the
British monarchy, from a truly unique perspective.
Open your eyes to a new world view with 100 women and nonbinary
photojournalists' stories from behind the lens. 85% of
photojournalists are men. That means almost everything that is
reported in the world is seen through men's eyes. Similarly, spaces
and communities men don't have access to are left undocumented and
forgotten. With the camera limited to the hands of one gender,
photographic 'truth' is more subjective than it seems. To answer
this serious ethical problem, Women Photograph flips that bias on
its head to show what and how women and nonbinary photojournalists
see. From documenting major events such as 9/11 to capturing unseen
and misrepresented communities, this book presents a revisionist
contemporary history: pore over 50 years of women's dispatches in
100 photographs. Each image is accompanied by 200 words from the
photographer about the experience and the subject, offering fresh
insights and a much-needed perspective. Until we have balanced,
representative reporting, the camera cannot offer a mirror to our
global society. To get the full picture, we need a diverse range of
people behind the lens. This book offers a first step. Relearn how
to see with this evergreen catalogue that elevates the voices of
women and nonbinary visual storytellers.
?????? One of Britain's leading contemporary photographers, Nick
Waplington is known for photographing British social scenery and
his life and close circle of friends and family in East London,
where he lives and works. ?????? Double Dactyl accompanies his solo
exhibition of the same name at The Whitechapel Gallery, London.
?????? Waplington first came to public notice with Living Room
(1991), a photographic portrait based on the everyday lives of two
close-knit families in Nottingham, England. ?????? Since then he
has often worked in book form. Double Dactyl expands on previous
work, now referencing the grand traditions of history painting,
classical mythology and landscape photography. ?????? This new work
also explores notions of photographic "reality," by working with
constructed and manipulated images taken from his own large format
photographs. ?????? Double Dactyl features 56 colour reproductions
of this new body of work, its surreal and often subtle use of
manipulation confirming Waplington's idiosynchratic approach to
contemporary photographic practice. Nick Waplington has exhibited
internationally including at Deitch Projects, New York, The
Philadelphia Mudeum of Modern Art and the 2001 Venice Biennale. He
lives and works in London. Also Published by Trolley You Love Life
(2005) Learn How To Die The Easy Way (2001)

done before, by following the small but dedicated international
cryonics community. From the laboratories of America to the
warehouses of Moscow, these sinister portraits of those stored in
liquid nitrogen are a unique exploration of life and death.

A Scotsman Best Photography Book of 2017 Texts by Filippo Grandi,
UN High Comissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, and Robert Del Naja,
Massive Attack In October 2015, Giles Duley was commissioned by the
UNHCR to document the refugee crisis. Over the next seven months,
he was to criss-cross Europe and the Middle East attempting to put
a human face to one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies of our
time. Duley visited fourteen countries to tell the stories of
individuals and families forced to flee their homes. He chronicled
the turmoil of Lebanon, the camps of Jordan and Iraq, hellish
scenes on the beaches of Lesvos and the refugees arrival in
Germany. Bringing together over 150 original photographs, this book
captures how even in the midst of such horror and tragedy there is
humour, the unexpected and, above all, humanity.

"Questions Without Answers" is an ambitious book featuring a
strikingly broad selection of photo stories. Photos documenting
Barack Obama giving a speech on Afghanistan to American troops sit
alongside a collection of portraits featuring famous cultural
figures such as David Bowie and Bernardo Bertolucci. We move from
an exploration of the spread and impact of AIDS in Asia to
dispatches from the current economic crisis and its effect on those
working in finance. The crucial work done by VII in documenting
conflict - environmental, social and political, both violent and
non-violent - is also represented, including stories from the war
in Iraq, the crisis in Darfur and the terrible events of 9/11.
With an introduction by the eminent David Friend, "Vanity Fair"'s
editor of creative development and the former director of
photography of "Life" magazine, this book is an important, moving
and compelling record of the world we live in.
Ruined cities overgrown by jungle. Towns buried beneath the ground.
Statues lying half- hidden in the sand. Why do civilisations
collapse? Why are towns abandoned? And how do once mighty cities
come to be forgotten about? From the pyramids of Egypt to the ruins
at Angkor in Cambodia and on to the mysteries of the Easter Island
moai statues, Abandoned Civilisations is a brilliant pictorial work
examining lost worlds. What emerges is a picture of how vast
societies can rise, thrive and then collapse. We admire how whole
cities develop, but equally fascinating is what happens when their
moment has passed. From the 9th century temples at Khajuraho in
India which were lost in the date palm trees until stumbled across
by European engineers in the 19th century to Mayan pyramids in the
Guatemalan jungle to Roman cities semi-buried - but consequently
preserved - in the North African desert, the book explores why
societies fall and what, once abandoned, they leave behind to
history. With 150 striking colour photographs exploring 100 worlds,
Abandoned Civilisations is a fascinating visual history of the
mysteries of lost societies.
Paolo Pellegrin (Magnum Photos) and journalist Scott Anderson were
in Lebanon during the conflict, on assignment for The New York
Times. Pellegrin's photographs intimately capture the fear and
powerlessness of the Lebanese population in the face of the
ceaseless Israeli air strikes, revealing the terror and despair of
families and friends witnessing the deaths of their loved ones,
whilst around them their homes were destroyed. In particular,
Pellegrin also documented the aftermath of the attack on the
village of Qana in southern Lebanon; many of the victims children,
his photographs reveal the immense suffering of the civilians
involved. Alongside his work exposing the consequences of
indiscriminate attacks on a civilian population is a 3000-word
account by Scott Anderson, who accompanied Pellegrin in Lebanon.
Pellegrin and Anderson were both wounded in a missile attack by an
Israeli drone, which fired on their vehicle as they traveled
through the city of Tyre.
For well over a century, humanitarians and their organizations have
used photographic imagery and the latest media technologies to
raise public awareness and funds to alleviate human suffering. This
volume examines the historical evolution of what we today call
'humanitarian photography' - the mobilization of photography in the
service of humanitarian initiatives across state boundaries - and
asks how we can account for the shift from the fitful and debated
use of photography for humanitarian purposes in the late nineteenth
century to our current situation in which photographers market
themselves as 'humanitarian photographers'. This book investigates
how humanitarian photography emerged and how it operated in diverse
political, institutional, and social contexts, bringing together
more than a dozen scholars working on the history of
humanitarianism, international organizations and nongovernmental
organizations, and visual culture in Africa, Asia, the Middle East,
Europe, and the United States.
