Originally published in 1971, Gordon Parks' Born Black was the first book to unite his writing and his photography. It was also the first to provide a focused survey of Parks' documentation of a crucial time for the civil rights and Black Power movements. Today, more than 50 years later, this expanded edition of Born Black illuminates Parks' vision for the book and offers deeper insight into the series within it. The original publication featured nine articles commissioned by Life magazine from 1963 to 1970-some never-before published-supplemented with later commentary by Parks and presented as his personal account of these important historical moments. Born Black includes the original text and images, as well as additional photographs from each series, spreads from the 1971 book, early correspondence, reproductions of related Life articles, and new scholarly essays. The nine series selected by Parks for Born Black-a rare glimpse inside San Quentin State Prison; extensive documentation of the Black Muslim movement and the Black Panthers; his commentaries on the deaths of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.; intimate portrait studies of Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Eldridge Cleaver; and a narrative of the daily life of the impoverished Fontenelle family in Harlem-have come to define his legendary career as a photographer and activist. This reimagined, comprehensive edition of Born Black highlights the lasting legacy of these projects and their importance to our understanding of critical years in American history.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation

Sein gesamter Erfahrungsschatz fließt in den neuen Band World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors: eine irre 752-Seiten-Reise durch die gut gefüllten Vitrinen und obzessiven Köpfe der geschicktesten Sammler des Planeten. Um mehr als 2.500 besondere Sneaker ins Rampenlicht zu holen, blieb zwischen Tokyo und New York, London, Philadelphia, Melbourne und Størdal keine bröckelnde Sohle verschont.

Das Sammlerethos ist allgenwärtig, sie fiebern, jagen und suchen unermüdlich nach "dem einen" Schuh, der ihnen noch nicht gehört. Die in Szene gesetzten Sammlungen und Profile der Sneakerheads werden von einer Reihe Profitipps begleitet, wie man Sneaker fotografiert, richtig lagert, versichert, reinigt und auch Fälschungen vermeidet. Diese amüsanten Sammlergeschichten und unbezahlbaren Ratschläge sind die ultimative Eintrittskarte in die Welt der "true collectors".

Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch Erstklassige Street Photography mit künstlerischem Anspruch Fernab der Hektik von New York City: Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien mit einer ruhigen Ästhetik und Atmosphäre Mit bemerkenswerten Aufnahmen der menschenleeren Straßen New Yorks während des Covid Lockdowns Für alle, die auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen Coffee Table Book über New York sind. "New York Street Diaries" ist ein beeindruckender Bildband für alle Fans des Big Apple. Phil Penman zeigt darin die Großstadt an der Ostküste der USA von einer Seite, die nur selten zu sehen ist, nämlich ruhig und beschaulich. Die Bilder entstanden teils während des großen Schneesturms und teils während des Corona Lockdowns und sind damit Zeitzeugen der Pandemiebeschränkungen, die unsere bis dato bekannte Welt völlig auf den Kopf stellten. Der gebürtige Brite fotografiert seit weit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten auf den Straßen New Yorks. Bekannt ist er unter anderem durch seine Aufnahmen von berühmten Größen wie Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez oder Bill Gates. Als am 11. September 2001 die größte Tragödie in der Geschichte New Yorks die Stadt erschütterte, war Phil Penman vor Ort und schuf einzigartige Zeitaufnahmen der Ereignisse mit seiner Kamera. Penman versteht es auf beeindruckende Art und Weise die Stadt in ihren sensibelsten Momenten abzulichten. Er fängt in seinen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien intime Momente ein und zeigt die Menschen und Straßen von New York City weit abseits von Hektik und Trubel. Das Stadtleben der Metropole wird dabei so hautnah präsentiert, dass einige Bilder beim Betrachter unweigerlich ein Lächeln hervorrufen. Penman katapultiert seinen Leser mit einer erfrischenden Direktheit förmlich in die Szene hinein und man hat das Gefühl wirklich anwesend zu sein. Das großformatige und aufwendig gestaltete Coffee Table Book zeigt die besten Fotografien von Phil Penman und sollte bei keinem New-York-Liebhaber zu Hause fehlen. Ob als Geschenk oder einfach nur für sich selbst, dieser Bildband ist so wundervoll, dass man ihn kaum noch aus der Hand legen möchte.

Im Jahre 1983 verriet der japanische Modeschöpfer Issey Miyake dem New Yorker, er wolle gänzlich neue Wege in der Mode beschreiten. Diesem Vorsatz blieb er treu: Mit einer einzigartigen Fusion von Poesie und Tragbarkeit verwischen seine Kreationen die Grenzen zwischen Tradition, moderner Technologie und alltäglicher Funktionalität.Dieser Band über Issey Miyakes Mode zeigt, wie intensiv er sich von 1960 bis 2022 mit Textilforschung, mit Stoffen, Strukturen und Techniken befasst hat und wie kühn er seine Vision von einem Brückenschlag zwischen Tradition und Innovation, Natur und Technologie, östlicher und westlicher Kultur realisiert hat. Midori Kitamura, die fast 50 Jahre lang mit Miyake zusammenarbeitete, zeichnet seine Karriere von der Gründung des Miyake Design Studios in Tokio über sein revolutionäres A Piece of Cloth-Konzept, die Entwürfe der Body Series der 1980er-Jahre und der Miyake Pleats-Kollektion der 1990er bis zu den praktischen Pleats Please-Alltagsstücken nach.Kulturikone Kazuko Koike führt chronologisch durch seine faszinierenden Kollektionen, seine Visionen und Inspirationen. Eine Pflichtlektüre für jeden Modeschöpfer, -studenten und -fan und eine fesselnde Hommage an einen der innovativsten Modemacher unserer Zeit.

"With pieces drawn from the extensive personal collection of Pharrell Williams, this is a stunning and unprecedented exploration of the "bling" in hip-hop culture and fashion. Few recording artists have had a greater hand in incorporating the culture of hip-hop into contemporary luxury than Pharrell Williams. Collaborating with Louis Vuitton nearly two decades ago, Pharrell was the first to have his designs integrated into the haute joaillerie of the great maisons. His innovative team-ups continue through to the present day, most memorably with Tiffany and Chanel, and the watchmaker Richard Mille. The most extravagant of these chains, rings, and pendants--crafted in precious metals and studded with gems--are as much a part of Pharrell's musical performance as they are of his personal style. His designs, which include one-off pieces such as solid-gold cases for mobile phones and handheld game consoles, have been legendary for featuring iconography of Pharrell's own brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. This book was originally published with two different colored covers. Customers will be shipped either of the colors at random. Featured in the book are over 100 pieces, many of which he created in tandem with some of the most recognizable designers in the industry--such as Jacob & Co, Yoon & Verbal, and Lorraine Schwartz. With frequent collaborators such as NIGOª and Tyler the Creator, Pharrell discusses his role in the evolution of hip-hop jewelry, the processes involved in the creation of his one-of-a-kind custom pieces, and the state of connoisseurship in a growing market for the most extravagant of hip-hop collectibles" --

Louis Vuitton, the global luxury fashion house, and world-famous artist Yayoi Kusama partner again, and in the storied history of the brand s epic collaborations with artists, this is the most ambitious to date.

A career-to-date retrospective of a unique creative talent. A journey to the most inaccessible Arctic regions of Siberia, showing dreamlike encounters with its people, landscapes, and fauna.

365 daglige øjebliksbilleder fra, det smukke naturområde, Hammer Bakker, nord for Aalborg.For folk der bor i området omkring Hammer Bakker, spiller området en helt central rolle i deres liv.

Og det er fuldt forståeligt.Bogen er ikke en detaljeret eller historisk gennemgang af Hammer Bakker. Men en samling af øjebliksbilleder, inspireret af de smukke sort-hvide fotos i Niels Hedins klassiske bakke-bog fra 1931365 snapshots som inspiration til, at opleve det Hammer Bakker, der ligger i anden række, af de mere velkendte seværdigheder. Inspiration til at søge udenfor stierne, og gå på skattejagt i Bakkerne, der indeholder så meget mere, end man oplever, fra de mere autoriserede vandreruter. Billederne er krydret med små anekdoter, lidt historiske fakta, samt forfatterens oplevelser, mens billederne blev forevigede, samt kort, hvis man får lyst til at opleve billedmotivet i levende live.

The star continues to rise for the amazing corgi, a dog breed forever linked to the late Queen Elizabeth II (and the binge-worthy The Crown Netflix series).

"'I was a writer, but not the writer I needed to be. For that I had to become a different person,' Robert Glèuck, widely acclaimed as a novelist and as a theorist of 'the new narrative,' recently told the Paris Review, in which a section of About Ed has appeared. About Ed is Glèuck's portrait of the artist Ed Aulerich-Sugai, his sometime lover, met in the seventies in San Francisco, when gay life emerged unabashedly from the closet. 'I wanted to find in Ed something to latch on to that was outside my egotism and fear, my threadbare relation to the world-a leap through Ed into lyric time,' Glèuck has said, and in this book that is both 'a novel and my version of an AIDS memoir' he wanted to capture the full range of his feelings for Ed: 'estranged from Ed, bored by him, moved by him.' It is a book about the life they lived together-art and writing and family and sex and death-and, composed over many decades, it is also a book about how the past continues to change in memory and to charge the present. 'What is the right question to ask about a life?' Glèuck asks, describing About Ed as a 'collaborative project,' since 'Ed helped me write this book.' Ed gave him 'notes to fashion a chapter about the day he was diagnosed so I could describe his experience from the inside,' and 'after Ed died, Daniel, Ed's partner, lent me Ed's dream journals.... He started writing them in 1970, the year that we met. We both used his journals, not as puzzles to solve the truth of a self but as a commons producing images that we harvested for paintings and poems. And fifty years later, there I was reading and copying out and running away from his dreams. Are they a condensed version of Ed? Shorthand? Distillation? Is he knowable and unknowable in the same degree sleeping or waking?' About Ed is a challenging and beautiful book by one of America's finest and most adventurous writers"

"Celebrate the ... story of sneakers and basketball in this ... illustrated history of the beloved game told through the lens of iconic shoes. It is the story of Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars, synonymous with basketball from the very beginning and perfect for the sport's plodding and low-visibility early years; ... how sneaker brands enhanced and even help create some of the game's greatest stars, from Walt Frazier and his signature PUMA Clydes to the icon of all icons, Michael Jordan, and the rise of Air Jordan. [The book even examines] how innovations in the game evolved as the sneakers evolved, and vice versa--just look at that sloping back to front and strong base of support in Steph Curry's Under Armour Curry One.

STEFAN SOELL'S TOP 15 UKRAINIAN MODELS: breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly seductiveThis volume of photographs contains 15 different models, all of whom come from Ukraine. Each and every one is breathtakingly beautiful, incredibly seductive, and displays great self-confidence. Stefan Soell succeeds in firing up a stunning collection of images, all in a class of their own. Thanks to his talented eye and skilful finger, always hovering over the shutter release, all it takes is a tenth of a second to capture extraordinary pictures that typify his striking talent.In fact, a plan had long been in place to create a highly charged erotic photo tour, as Stefan has been taking pictures of Ukrainian models for well over 20 years. Today, he can look back on a highly eventful history. Before 1989 or 1990, it was practically impossible to pass girls through the Iron Curtain to the West. The only way to find them required many so-called managers and whatever connections there were to be had, together with bribery. You had to complete many official documents. Often, despite a great deal of hard work, there was no success. The general opinion of the authorities was that the young, pretty girls, in the prime of their lives, would never come back again, whatever else happened to them. Fortunately, over the years, travel options have improved, and the abolition of the visa requirement has enabled a stream of Ukrainian models to flow into the West unopposed.Stefan Soell has the following to say about his models: "These girls are part of a generation that grew up in hard times. In those days, you had to fight for any improvement in living standards, whether it was for better food, an improved job or a modest enhancement in personal comfort. I have always been impressed by the mental toughness and resilience of these Ukrainian girls. They have an extremely self-confident yet relaxed approach to nude photography. I book most of the models presented here through the model agency Phototours Ukraine. My special thanks go to Oksana, who, as a former model, runs her own agency to professional standards.

Fryd Frydendahl (f. 1984) har etableret sig som en af det 21. århundredes mest væsentlige danske fotografiske billedkunstnere. Salad Days er en samling af omtrent 150 portrætter Frydendahl har taget i perioden 2012 til 2022. Den visuelle spændvidde rækker fra det kunstneriske og eksperimenterende til det kommercielle og søger at udviske grænserne herimellem. Gennem bogens forløb illustreres hendes faglige udvikling, og man oplever som læser samspillet og konnotationerne mellem Frydendahls tidligere arbejde og nye fotos produceret til bogen i 2022. Derved står bogen ligeledes som et portræt af Frydendahl som fotograf. Portrætterne ledsages af et perspektiverende essay skrevet af Elizabeth Renstrøm, tidligere Senior Photo Editor på The New Yorker. I stort omfang har fotografierne optrådt i andre sammenhænge, hvorfor bogen også indeholder et appendiks, hvor læseren kan følge værkernes oprindelse. De fotograferede er både kendte, ukendte og fotografen selv. Frydendahl bryder konventionerne for traditionelt portrætbaseret fotografi og har en særlig evne til at blotlægge en rejse for beskueren ind i et intimt rum, hvor skel mellem sociale- og kulturelle klasser, landegrænser og det fremmed udviskes. Et rum, hvor man møder universelle emner som sorg, ensomhed, identitet, venskab og familiebånd. Portrætterne rummer skrøbelighed, entusiasme, uskyldighed, naivitet, skønhed og akavethed. Frydendahl inddrager sig selv, sin familie og venner i sit arbejde, hvilket skaber både følsomme og vedkommende billeder med en distinkt signatur og potent visuel poesi. Hendes tilgang er intuitiv og nærværende. Hun er uadskillelig fra sine billeder. Forbindelsen til den fotograferede er altafgørende, hvilket gør, at man som beskuer mærker hendes billeder. Bogens titel henviser til det tidspunkt, hvor livet peaker. Til den tid, hvor du formodes at nå dit højdepunkt, men spekulerer på, om det virkelig er det. Det handler ikke om teenagere og unge. Nogle mennesker når deres højdepunkt før teenageårene, mens det kulminerer for andre langt senere hen i livet. Salad Days beskriver den naivitet og akavethed, der er forbundet med ikke at vide alt endnu – uanfægtet alder.Bogen bevæger sig i grænselandet mellem kunstfotografi, dokumentarisme og kommercielle fotos og søger at gøre op med prædefinerede opfattelser af fotografiet som medie og kunstform. Her udforskes, hvad portrættet er og kan. Salad Days cementerer den høje kunstneriske og faglige kvalitet, der har kendetegnet Frydendahls virke i mere end et årti, og som gør, at hendes arbejde appellerer til både foto- og kunstkendere, men også i bred forstand til den alment kulturinteresserede.

Sebastião Salgado bereiste sechs Jahre lang das brasilianische Amazonasgebiet und fotografierte die unvergleichliche Schönheit dieser einzigartigen Region: den Regenwald, die Flüsse, die Berge, die Menschen, die dort leben.
