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.

Cool. Whether it's a cool guy, cool sunglasses, or a cool film -
the attribute 'cool', which until the early '90s was still the
definitive identifier of rebellious youth culture speech, is now
encountered globally and across all social classes in an almost
inflationary manner. The adjective 'cool' is now regarded as a
vague paraphrase for something positively casual and is
particularly fond of offering itself to us with an aura of
self-confident modernity and stylistic confidence. Unfortunately,
whoever says 'cool' today often just means a fashion word,
representative of who or what is currently hip and what is not.
Everything that is somehow hip, trendy or 'in' is called 'cool'.
Everything should, and everyone wants, to be cool. On the one hand,
'coolness' is an empty buzzword, on the other hand, it is a
self-confident, late-modern individual attitude and behavioural
strategy with rebellious roots against a twisted and unjust world.

"Yungblud is like nothing you've seen before. That is, unless
you've seen a smiley punk/alt rocker from Doncaster, UK who wears
pink socks, black-lipstick, and a skirt, plays a mean guitar, has
an endless amount of energy, and an interesting aura of sex appeal.
Then, and only then, can you say you've seen someone like
Yungblud." - musicinminnesota.com YUNGBLUD. A striking new musical
voice has emerged for Gen-Z. Political, provocative and
impassioned, Yungblud has in the space of three years become one of
the UK's most recognisable artists through his unique blend of pop,
punk and emo music - gaining one of the most die-hard fanbases on
the planet in the process. From 21st Century Liability, where
nothing was sacred - gun violence, psychosis, sex, drugs and
suicide - to his sophomore album Weird!, an exploration of oddity
and self-acceptance, YUNGBLUD challenges our zeitgeist as much as
he channels it. This is the first fully authorised book, featuring
photographs by his friend and closest collaborator Tom Pallant.
Featuring an amazing selection of rare and unseen photographs, All
My Friends Have Deserted charts Yungblud's journey from late 2019
as he toured his debut album across the world, right through
releasing his second album during a global pandemic, scoring his
first UK #1, returning triumphantly to Reading and Leeds festival
mainstage and culminating in his biggest ever headline show, a
sold-out Alexandra Palace in London. All My Friends Have Deserted
shows YUNGBLUD as a man of multitudes: dominating the stage,
screaming into the mic, laughing behind-the-scenes, enjoying quiet
creative moments and pulling faces at the camera. The vicious
energy of his performances carries onto the page. The result is a
rollercoaster of a photo-essay that carries readers on a journey
through the highs and lows of Gen-Z's most essential new rock star.
"My generation is over being divided. Being divided is an old
concept that is rapidly becoming obsolete. We are opinionated. We
are full of contradictions. That's the beauty of it. Our intention
is to make this world equal. No matter what size you are, what
shape you are, what colour you are, what sexuality you are..."
Underpinning it all is the message of empathy. Those who his lyrics
resonate with are not alone. Authentic and electric, rebellious and
irreverent, yet still utterly human, YUNGBLUD is the new face of
punk. Here he presents himself through a series of exclusive and
unseen photographs, taken by his friend and closest collaborator,
photographer Tom Pallant.
