A captivating photographic odyssey spanning fashion, Hollywood and
travel, this is the first publication in almost 40 years on the
work of George Hoyningen-Huene, the photographer whose images
defined an era. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900–1968), known
simply as Huene, worked during the golden age of couture fashion
and Hollywood cinema. He was born in St Petersburg to a wealthy
family, but they had to flee their home during the Russian
revolution in 1917. Huene spent time in England before moving to
Paris, where he was employed to create photographs for Vogue and
Vanity Fair and rapidly established himself as a visual innovator,
fusing elements of neoclassicism and surrealism to create chic,
arresting images. In 1935, Huene joined Harper’s Bazaar magazine,
where he remained a contributor until 1946, following which he
settled in California and embarked on a second career as a colour
coordinator for Hollywood films. Supported by an international
exhibition opening at Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo, this book
combines elegant design and production values with rigorous new
research and scholarship. Organized into eight chapters, each
supported by texts by contributing writers from the worlds of
fashion, cinema and photography, and featuring names and faces that
have defined our view of style, glamour and grace in the 20th
century, it reminds us of Huene’s position among the greats of
photography.
‘Be original or die would be a good motto for photographers to
adopt…let them put life and colour into their work.’ - Yevonde.
Yevonde (1893–1975) was a businesswoman and tireless creator, as
an innovator committed to colour photography when it was not
considered a serious medium, her work is significant in the history
of British portrait photography. Yevonde championed
photography during a time where there were few women photographers
working professionally, and this book tells the story of her life,
works, and 60-year career. Yevonde: Life and Colour brings the
photographer’s works together again for the first time in 20
years and features previously unpublished works. This book
showcases her experimentation with a range of techniques and genres
including colour photography, portraiture, still-lifes,
solarisation, and the Vivex colour process, and repositions her as
a modern artist of the twentieth century. This highly illustrated
publication provides in-depth context to
Yevonde’s images, considering their aesthetic and
mythic references. Yevonde’s portraits embody glorified tradition
countered with a desire for the new. Her most renowned body
of work is a series of women dressed as goddesses posed in surreal
tableaux from the 1930s.
Corina Gertz photographs women from around the world wearing
traditional national dress. Her focus is on the quieter side of the
portrait - the figure seen from behind. The individual remains
hidden, so that information is conveyed only by the clothing.
Splendid fabrics with sumptuous embroidery shine with sculptural
and painterly intensity against a deep black background, captured
in a clear, expressive composition. Her portraits tell tales of
traditional wisdom, conventions, customs, and practices, reflecting
Gertz’s interest in the aesthetic, political, social, and
cultural context. Text in English and German.
Roam the woods with Zack and Sarah as they narrowly avoid trouble

Nature and is perfect for children of all ages.
'Each shoot is a total love letter to an object from the V&A,
sometimes several objects. My relationship to objects is like
falling in love with someone. It relates to how we interact as
people, how you become best friends with someone. It's a search for
a new friend...' TIM WALKER Published to accompany the V&A's
mesmerizing exhibition Tim Walker: Wonderful Things, this book is a
journey through the creative mind of one of the world's most
inventive photographers. It presents over 100 compelling
photographs, from ten magical photoshoots inspired by objects from
the V&A's enormous and eclectic collection. Featuring
conversations between the set designers, stylists, hair and make-up
artists, models and muses who bring Walker's imagination to life,
it includes contributions by Jack Appleyard, Zoe Bedeaux, Terry
Bloxham, Edie Campbell, Gwendoline Christie, Josephine Cowell,
James Crewe, Malcolm Edwards, Karen Elson, Katy England, Edward
Enninful OBE, Amanda Harlech, Shona Heath, Hungry/Johannes
Jaruraak, Ibrahim Kamara, Kate Phelan, James Spencer, Jerry
Stafford, Tilda Swinton and Gareth Wrighton. Previously unpublished
behind-the-scenes imagery and preliminary sketches combine to
reveal Walker's extraordinary creative process, from his detailed
research in the labyrinth of storerooms and galleries at the
V&A, to his spectacular final pictures.
