Known for his long-exposure photographic series of empty movie theaters and drive-ins, seascapes, museum dioramas, and waxworks, Hiroshi Sugimoto has been turning his camera on international icons of 20th-century architecture since 1997. His deliberately blurred and seemingly timeless photographs depict structures as diverse as the Empire State Building, Le Corbusier's Chapel de Ntre Dame du Haut, and Tadao Ando's Church of Light in Osaka. The resulting black-and-white photographs, shot distinctly out of focus and from unusual angles, are not attempts at documentation but rather evocation--meant to isolate the buildings from their contexts, allowing them to exist as dreamlike, uninhabited ideals. Among the other buildings represented in the series are Philippe Starck's Asahi Breweries, Fumihiko Maki's Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the United Nations Building, the Chrysler Building, Giuseppi Terragni's Santelia Monument Como, the World Trade Center, Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Antonio Gaud's Casa Batll II, the 1922 Schindler House, and buildings by Frank Gehry, Frank Lloyd Wright, and many others in Europe, North America, and Asia. I'm trying to recreate the imaginative visions of the architecture before the architect built the building, so I can trace back the original vision from the finished product. --Hiroshi Sugimoto Essays by Francesco Bonami, John Yau and Marco de Michelis.

This tiny treasure is a glorious tribute to Ansel Adams and to the vanishing landscape he loved. The often stunning and sometimes subtle beauty of America's national parks has been captured forever in the evocative images of Ansel Adams, the most admired photographer of our time. These photographs demonstrate the genius of Adams's technical and aesthetic inventiveness and expressed his deepest convictions as artist, conservationist, and citizen.

Over 200 never-before-published photographs from one of the twentieth century's most innovative photographers. Atget reached the pole of utmost mastery; but with the bitter modesty of a great craftsman who always lives in the shadows, he neglected to plant his flag there. Therefore many are able to flatter themselves that they have discovered the pole, even though Atget was there before them.—Walter Benjamin For 30 years, Eugène Atget photographed the historic core of Paris, its buildings and monuments, its ancient streets and civic spaces, its public parks and gardens. With the exception of his earliest photographs, he chose not to represent a particular site by a single, definitive photograph but produced sequences of interrelated images that create a cumulative portrait. A collection of case studies of archetypal urban settings, this book examines Atget's approach to photography. It features 240 of his photographs—nearly all of which have never been published—assembled to display the integral relationship between the photographer's working method and his subject matter, revealing the character of le Vieux Paris itself. A natural companion to the New Press's Berenice Abbott: Changing New York, Eugène Atget is the product of an exhibit mounted in response to Abbott's work and reflective of the two photographers' shared vision.

Lee Alexander McQueen (1969–2010), whose design combined visionary aesthetics, emotional power, and extraordinary craft, was known for staging provocative shows that were as much performances as venues to display his couture creations. Charged with energy, informed by history and culture, and filled with fresh concepts, McQueen's shows have become legends not only of fashion but also of art. Anne Deniau was the only photographer allowed backstage by McQueen for 13 years, beginning in September 1997 and ending with the final show in March 2010. She captured McQueen working with his close circle of collaborators—including designer Sarah Burton, milliner Philip Treacy, jewelry designer Shaun Leane, and model Kate Moss—to create his meticulously produced spectacles. Her book offers an inspiring homage, through the art of photography, to the work of a great artist. Praise for Love Looks Not With the Eyes: Thirteen Years With Lee Alexander McQueen: The pictures are evocative of the torture, the toughness and, most of all, the tenderness of Mr. McQueen.” —New York Times “Deniau's close connection to McQueen and her appreciation for his formidable talent is like many of the pieces he created: breathtaking.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Thekinetic color and black-and-white photographs document the fantastical,shocking spectacle of a McQueen show in action: hairdos trussed up with birdsof prey; hubcaps strapped to foreheads; faces enhanced by extraterrestrialcheek prostheses. The images are sensual, spooky, and whimsical, playing up thedrama of McQueen's vision; like one of the designer's fabulous garments, thephotographs transform fashion into high art. The book is both an homage and amemorial; this celebration of McQueen's vast, unique talent is also a eulogyfor his tragic loss.” — “Haute couture has a reputation for spectacle, but Anne Deniau's photographs remind us that it's also the last bastion of craftsmanship in fashion—or it was, as practiced by designer Alexander McQueen (1969–2010).” —Wall Street Journal “Lush, previously unpublished backstage photographs from many of the late designer's provocative fashion shows.”—The Los Angeles Times “The kinetic color and black-and-white photographs document the fantastical, shocking spectacle of a McQueen show in action: hairdos trussed up with birds of prey; hubcaps strapped to foreheads; faces enhanced by extraterrestrial cheek prostheses. The images are sensual, spooky, and whimsical, playing up the drama of McQueen's vision; like one of the designer's fabulous garments, the photographs transform fashion into high art. The book is both an homage and a memorial; this celebration of McQueen's vast, unique talent is also a eulogy for his tragic loss.” —Publishers Weekly “Love Looks Not with the Eyes document[s] the intense work and equally intense emotions that played out behind the scenes of McQueen's poetic, passionate, and provocative shows. . . . The intimacy is evident in the pictures.” —Vogue “The haunting images offer a rarefied glimpse into the designer's inner world.” —Harper's Bazaar “Deniau, in the process of documenting 26 McQueen presentations, captured images which, too, transcend photography—matching the decadent and grand world created by the hands of McQueen.” —Time.com “Haute couture has a reputation for spectacle, but Anne Deniau's photographs remind us that it's also the last bastion of craftsmanship in fashion—or it was, as practiced by designer Alexander McQueen (1969–2010).” —Wall Street Journal “Love Looks Not With The Eyes: Thirteen Years With Lee Alexander McQueen (the title refers to a line from A Midsummer Night's Dream which the designer had tattooed on his right arm) is as much a tribute to McQueen's work as it is an intimate look at a man that many knew but few understood.” —W

作者Michelle Bates 被称作Holga女皇。她从1991年开始使用Holga这种简易的塑料相机拍照，在世界各地举办展览和培训班。去年10月，她出版了一本专门讲述如何创造性使用Holga等各种玩具相机拍照的摄影书《塑料相机：充满创造力的游戏》（Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity）。 这是一本特别可爱的书，其中不仅仅集纳了34位摄影师的精彩作品，同时还讲述了他们在使用塑料相机时的创作技巧。从前期对相机的使用，一直到后期如何冲印照片的技巧，非常全面。有的摄影师喜欢在拍摄的时候晃动相机，有的则使用专业闪光灯，然后过片的时候让照片只卷过去一部分再拍摄，造成一种重叠效果，拍摄出的照片分外时尚。 对于LOMO一族来说，此书无疑可以成为宝典。 *The first toy camera guide written by the internationally known "Holga Queen" *Full color, fabulous images illustrate what can be done with toys, for fun or professionally *Step-by-step examples clearly explain how techniques are achieved
