Astrofotografering er en helt særlig disciplin, der kræver viden, tålmodighed og ikke mindst en masse af teknisk snilde. 'Himlen set fra Jorden' samler de bedste af astrofotograf Jakob Arthur Andersens fotografier og viser os, hvor utroligt og endeløst fascinerende universet er. Fotografierne er taget af den mørke nattehimmel over os, men de viser os alt det, der ikke kan ses med det blotte øje. 'Himlen set fra Jorden' præsenterer detaljerede fotografier af månen, solen, mælkevejen, stjernetåger og fjerne galakser og lader læseren drømme sig væk til de fjerneste afkroge af universet. Bogen indledes af et essay af astrofysiker og stjerneforsker professor Anja C. Andersen, der også har skrevet bogens tematekster, der gør os klogere på, hvad det er vi ser på fotografierne.
Brilliant, funny, charming, imperious, Diana Vreeland?the fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue?was a woman whose passion and genius for style helped define the world of high fashion for fifty years. Among her eclectic circle of friends were some of the most renowned and famous figures of the twentieth century?artists and princes, movie stars and international legends, including Chanel, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Isak Dinesen, Clark Gable, and Swifty Lazar.Moving from English palaces to the nightclubs of 1930s Paris, the wilds of Wyoming to the exclusive venues of New York high society, D.V. takes readers into this iconic woman's dazzling life, evoking the luxury and brio of an era that encompassed Josephine Baker, England's Queen Mary, Buffalo Bill, and Diaghilev.Vibrant with the vivid, irresistible voice that elevated every tête-à-tête and dinner party, D.V. brings this renowned and uninhibited raconteur alive, whether recalling herself as a young girl, her search for the perfect red, her piquant observations about her world, or her abhorrence for nostalgia. Like her legacy, Vreeland's story, told in her own words, is a classic to be celebrated by both loyal admirers and a new generation of culture mavens and style savants.
Some of Nick Brandt's subjects are humans, some are animals, but they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The overwhelming sense in the photographer's ongoing global series The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people's homes and livelihoods. Victims of habitat destruction and wildlife trafficking, the animals are rescues that can never be released to the wild. People and animals were photographed in the same frame and indeed convey a sense of connectedness through a shared fate. Fog is the unifying visual, symbolic of the natural world rapidly fading from view; and an echo of the smoke from wildfires, intensified by climate change, devastating so much of the planet. But in spite of their loss, these people and animals are survivors, pioneers entering the new phase our world has reached. In The Day May Break they share their powerful stories.This set includes the volumes The Day May Break and The Day May Break - Chapter Two.NICK BRANDT (*1964, London) studied painting and film at St. Martin's School of Art, London. In 1992 he moved to California, where he still lives today. Since 2001, he has documented the destructive impact that humankind is having on the natural world and, as a result, on humans themselves. Chapter One of his seminal series The Day May Break featured photographs taken in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020. Chapter Two, shot in Bolivia in 2022, is the first time in his 20 year career that Brandt has made work outside of Africa.
Hundreds of deep space missions since the 1960s have captured stunning photographs of the cosmos. Many of these scientific images can also be classified as art. This book highlights more than 100 examples, revealing the splendor of our universe. This book is a gallery of human accomplishment that celebrates the scientists and engineers who push civilizationincluding the ways that we produce and experience artbeyond the physical limits of our planet. The photographs, selected by Dr. Jim Bell, represent some of the finest examples of the art of deep space exploration, most of them involving high-tech robotic emissaries. The images are loosely organized by distance from the Earth, so that readers will slowly travel on a journey farther and farther away from home, ultimately voyaging out to vistas of the farthest-known places in the universe.
A colorful look at our history, architecture, waterfront, and everything else that makes¿ Western New York an amazing place to live, work, and play from Dr. Mark Donnelly,¿ author of: The Fine Art of Capturing Buffalo, Frozen Assets, and Statuesque Buffalo.
Photography on analog film has simply put received a recent renaissance.In our digital age, I guess a romantic veil surrounds the analog approach to photography. Even when shooting digital cameras, we do postprocessing to simulate the look of analog film. We talk about the specific and beloved look of certain films, and how their sensitivity and grain add a charm to the image.Delving deeper, a reason for the analog renaissance might be our growing desire to slow down; to immerse ourselves and sharpen our creative senses by restraining the means with which we photograph. Where the digital camera is soon so perfect that we as photographers can sometimes feel redundant, the analog camera requires our undivided presence.These cameras are subject to the same limitations as they were in the dawn of photography. You must visualize what you want to create beforehand, and you cannot rely on an lcd to feed you the result.Thus, in analog photography we are forced to slow down, plan, create the right circumstances, and capture the wanted picture at the decisive moment.
Fotografering på analog film har fået en renæssance, så enkelt kan det vel siges.I vores digitale tid ligger der et romantisk skær over den analoge fotografi. Selv i vores digitale fotografi tilfører vi det kornede "look" for at efterligne forskellige films udseende. Vi taler om specifikke films særlige udseende og deres følsomhed.Går man lidt dybere så er det også vores behov for at sætte tempoet ned, fordybe os og skærpe vores kreativitet med begrænsninger, der får os til at søge tilbage til det analoge. De digitale kameraer udvikles løbende og er snart så perfekte, at vi som fotografer bliver næsten overflødige.De gamle anloge kameraer har de begrænsninger, de hele tiden har haft. De kræver mere af os som fotografer, de kræver vi visualiserer, hvad vi ønsker at skabe på forhånd i stedet for blot at kigge på en skærm, for at sikre vi har fået motivet gengivet præcis, som vi ønskede.Som fotografer tvinges vi dermed til at sætte tempoet ned, planlægge, indstille vores kamera manuelt og dermed være fotografer, der skabet billeder i nuet.
