Stephen Shore (b. 1947) is a true artistic innovator whose work has opened up new frontiers for contemporary photography. His photographs of American scenes unveil the exceptional beauty to be found in the everyday. As one of the first art photographers to work in color, Shore pioneered such contemporary genres as the diaristic snapshot (later taken up by Nan Goldin and Wolfgang Tillmans) and the monumentalized landscape (as later practiced by Becher-school photographers Thomas Struth and Andreas Gursky). This monograph offers the first complete examination of Shore''s long and storied career, from his residency at Warhol''s Factory to his experiments in conceptual photography; from his landmark series AMERICAN SURFACES to his continued exploration of emerging techniques. Shore''s high-key portraits of America''s chromatic landscape can be found in the permanent collections of major museums all over the world.

"Don McCullin's view of England is rooted in his war time childhood and in growing up in Finsbury Park, north London, in the fifties. His first published photograph was a picture of a gang from his neighbourhood, which appeared in a newspaper after a local murder. The boys were his childhood friends. McCullin has always balanced his anger at the unacceptable face of the nation with tenderness or compassion. In England combines some of his greatest work with many previously unpublished photographs and an entirely new body of pictures." "McCullin sees in his native country a perpetual social gulf dividing the affluent and the destitute. He continues in the same black-and-white tradition as he demonstrated between foreign assignments for the Sunday Times in the sixties and seventies, when his view of a deprived Britain seemed as dark as the conflict zones from which he'd just escaped. At a time when we might believe the world has changed beyond our imagination, McCullin shows us a view of England where the line between the wealthy and the poor is as defined as ever. This time he adds wry humour to his lyricism, as if the nation is as absurd as it is tragic. At the heart of it all is McCullin's deep love of the English landscape. He transforms his views of the hills and fields of Somerset beneath dark, raging skies into the battlefields of his imagination. It is here he feels completely at home."--BOOK JACKET.

Selección Natural, de Alex Dorfsman, es una narración visual basada en una interpretación personal de la creación y la evolución de los elementos que conforman la Tierra y el universo. Las imágenes de este libro describen dichos elementos metaforicamente desde situaciones y objetos cotidianos capturados fotograficamente. La secuencia del libro fue realizada emulando un proceso de seleccion natural en el que interactuan especies distintas pero similares a partir de analogias formales. Las fotografias se presentan como una especie de clasificacion taxonomica, o bien como un gabinete de curiosidades contemporaneo; lo que nos permite conocer el mundo y, a partir de eso, reconstruir mundos propios, contar por medio de lo que seleccionamos, ordenar desde el caos dandole una estructura a la realidad para verla de distintas maneras.

It was in the mid-70s that Cindy Sherman began making her earliest works, in which she explored various manipulations of her own persona. She began by experimenting with makeup and costumes, getting dressed up for parties and surprising her friends. She then moved on to photograph herself in the various personas she had created, producing highly inventive but somewhat more primitive versions of the seminal work for which she would later become known, the Untitled Film Stills series. It was during this early period that Sherman created A Play of Selves--a visual tale of a young woman overwhelmed by various alter-egos that compete inside of her, and her final conquering of self-doubt. Acted out with 16 separate characters, these 72 photographic assemblages mark Sherman's earliest explorations of herself-as-subject in a series of staged photographs. Published here for the first time, these photographs include hundreds of shots of the artist costumed as various characters in dozens of poses. Organized in a four-act "play" with an elaborate, handwritten script, the individual images were cut by the artist from original black-and-white prints. Preface by Cindy Sherman.
