A penetrating, compulsively readable memoir about the four-decade
career of a top courtroom sketch artist.
Jane Rosenberg is America's pre-eminent courtroom sketch artist. For
over forty years, she's been at the heart of the story, covering almost
every major trial that has passed through the New York justice system.
From mob bosses to fallen titans of finance, terrorists and sex
abusers, corrupt cops and warring entertainment icons, she has drawn
them all.
In Drawn Testimony, Rosenberg brings us into the high-stakes, dramatic
world of her craft, where art, psychology and courtroom drama collide.
Over the course of her legendary career, Jane has had a front row seat
to some of the most iconic and notorious moments in our nation's recent
history, sketching everything from Tom Brady's deflate-gate case, to
John Lennon's murder trial to cases against Ghislaine Maxwell, John
Gotti, Harvey Weinstein and most recently, the indictment against
former President Donald Trump. Readers will learn how she has honed her
unique powers of perception, but also what her portraits reveal, not
only about her subjects, but about the human condition in general.
Fearless, fascinating and gorgeously written, Drawn Testimony captures
the unique career of an artist whose body of work depicts history as
it's happening.

A substantial retrospective on one of the world's most remarkable
and critically acclaimed art photographers. Separated into four
parts, Ballenesque takes readers on a visual, chronological journey
through Roger Ballen's entire oeuvre, including both iconic images
and previously unpublished photographs. Part I explores his
formative artistic influences and his later rediscovery of boyhood
through photography, culminating in his first published monograph,
Boyhood, in 1979. Part II then charts the period between 1980 and
2000, during which time his deeper search for the elemental self
found its way into the 'Dorps', or small towns, of South Africa and
concluding with the release of his seminal monograph Outland. Part
III covers the years 2000-2013, when Ballen achieved global
recogition with Shadow Chamber and Boarding House and his work
began to veer away from portraiture altogether. Finally, in Part
IV, Ballen reflects upon his career in its entirety. With over 300
photographs and an introduction by eminent academic Robert J. C.
Young, this book provides both an entirely new way of seeing
Ballen's work for those who already follow his career and a
comprehensive introduction for those encountering his photographs
for the first time.

Abandoned Melbourne presents a collection of photographs of the
perennially awarded world's most liveable city rendered empty,
abandoned and in Covid lockdown during 2020. Abandoned Melbourne
depicts Melbourne vacant, with the CBD's places and spaces,
customarily buzzing, rendered motionless and without life.
Landscape photographer Gavin John, a long-term resident of
Melbourne, turned his camera and his focus onto vistas of a
different nature and reveals downtown Melbourne as it has never
been witnessed before.
Abandoned buildings are a viewfinder into our heritage and often
offer a story to tell us, but not everyone will be lucky enough to
hear these stories before these buildings are gone forever. It was
this line of thinking that grew the author's passion for
discovering and exploring abandoned buildings, heritage sites and
locations not normally seen by the public eye. With camera in my
hand, he set out to find, visit, photograph and document as many of
these locations as he could before their stories are lost forever.
With over 140 eye-catching images from abandoned places such as
eerie old factories, crumbling asylums, untouched country theatres,
forgotten homes, all mixed with a small insight into their history,
Abandoned Brisbane is a showcase of just some of the amazing
locations within a few hours' drive of Brisbane.
