One hundred of the most outstanding photographs taken by
photographer, model and Surrealist muse Lee Miller, published in
anticipation of the November 2023 release of the film Lee, starring
Kate Winslet as Lee Miller Photojournalist, war correspondent,
model and Surrealist muse, Lee Miller was one of the most important
women photographers of the twentieth century, working in the fields
of photojournalism, fashion, portraiture and advertising. This book
presents 100 of Miller’s finest works in a single volume.
Introduced to photography at an early age, Lee Miller honed her
craft in Paris, where she associated with the Surrealists and
avant-garde artists including Jean Cocteau and Picasso. Together
with Man Ray she accidentally discovered the distinctive technique
of solarization to create mesmerizing halo effects. After
establishing her own photographic studio in New York, where she
became a prominent commercial photographer, she then moved to the
Middle East and Europe before becoming the official war
photographer for Vogue, a period during which she took many of her
most iconic photographs. This evocative book collects Lee
Miller’s most famous documentary, fashion, and war works, as well
as photographs of Miller, all carefully compiled by her son the
photographer Antony Penrose, with a foreword by actress Kate
Winslet, who will star as Miller in the film Lee.
Can you spot the Big Dipper in the night sky? Or Orion's Belt? Or
Cassiopeia? Even in cities, and without the aid of a telescope,
these are a few of the easier constellations to find. In fact, a
great deal can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye - if you
know what you're looking for. Night Sky presents 200 colour
photographs of stunning nocturnal vistas all visible to the naked
eye. From the majesty of the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) as
seen from Norway or Canada, and the Southern Lights (Aurora
australis) as seen from Australia, to seeing the clarity of the
Milky Way over an Italian forest, from witnessing a lunar eclipse
in Indonesia to charting the course of the International Space
Station across the Indian night, and from seeing a Geminid meteor
shower in New Mexico to recognizing the Great Bear (Ursa Major)
constellation over New England, the book is a feast of nocturnal
delights. Where necessary, additional inset photographs indicate
the formation of a constellation. Presented in a landscape format
and with 200 outstanding colour photographs supported by
fascinating captions, Night Sky is a stunning collection of images.
Hot on the heels of a series of articles published in IdN Magazine
in 2005, is Neo-Photo, a photography book that is like no other.
This is an amazing survey of work created by a new generation of
photographers who use digital technology to combine the disciplines
of graphic design and film aesthetics. The images that result are
incredible indeed. Co-edited by parissydneytokyo, Neo-Photo
features a collection of international artists whose work pushes
the boundaries of the photographic medium and challenges the
traditional rules, approaches and perceptions of this demanding art
form. Photographers of note include Shun Kawakami, Jola Kudela,
Frank le Petit, Guillaume Dimanche plus many other great talents.
