Because elephants are pachyderms, a combination of two Greek roots meaning "thick skin," one might think that nothing bothers them and that they lead quiet, safe lives. Nothing could be further from the truth: elephants have been hunted and killed for their ivory tusks since antiquity. And people often ignore the calves left behind, who must now live out their lives as traumatized and fearful orphans. Wildlife photographer Joachim Schmeisser made it his mission to document the story of these abandoned baby elephants. Through his sponsorship of elephants, he came into contact with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the world's largest and most successful rescue and rehabilitation operation for orphaned elephants, headquartered in Nairobi. Professional veterinary technicians bottle feed the elephant calves until they are old enough to locate their own food. By living together with older elephant calves, they also learn the social rules governing elephant herds. After this phase is complete, the elephants are taken to one of the Trust's rehabilitation stockades before they are released back into the wild. Joachim Schmeisser followed numerous elephants through the entire process and captured fascinating pictures from their arrival at the nursery all the way to their release back into the wild. Elephants in Heaven provides a visual record of how these traumatized elephants are raised in a place that is truly heavenly for them, offering a compelling behind-the-scenes look inside an elephant nursery. The touching animal portraits also convey the devastating consequences of poaching, because for Joachim Schmeisser, it's about "beauty, fragility, transience, mindfulness, and about dignity and the equal standing of each individual."

Cuando el fotógrafo alemán Peter Lindbergh retrató a cinco jóvenes modelos en el centro de Nueva York en 1989, creó no sólo la emblemática portada de enero de 1990 para la versión británica de Vogue, sino que firmo el certificado de nacimiento de las supermodelos. La imagen no se limito a reunir por primera vez cinco rostros venerados, sino que marco el inicio de una nueva era en la moda y una nueva manera de comprender la belleza femenina.Coincidiendo con una importante retrospectiva en el Kunsthal de Roterdam (Paises Bajos), este libro recopila mas de 400 fotografias tomadas por Lindbergh a lo largo de cuatro decadas para rendir homenaje a su capacidad unica y revolucionaria de narrar historias. Sus inconfundibles imagenes monocromaticas, sobrias y seductoras al mismo tiempo, incorporaban un toque romantico y descriptivo que aporto una nueva vision y talento artistico al mundo de la moda y el arte.Considerado un pionero de la fotografia, introdujo un nuevo realismo al redefinir los estandares de belleza con imagenes intemporales. Ya sean retratos o poeticas composiciones de figuras y paisajes, sus creaciones utilizan un lenguaje cinematografico y juegan con arquetipos femeninos en los que sus modelos adoptan poses de bailarinas, actrices, heroinas o mujeres fatales. Ademas, Lindbergh confiere a la fotografia un enfoque humanistico, priorizando la belleza natural y autentica, en un momento en el que predominan los retoques, captando el espiritu y la personalidad tanto como el aspecto fisico y rindiendo homenaje a la elegancia y la sensualidad de las mujeres maduras.Como prueba de la gran reputacion de Lindbergh en el mundo de la moda, sus imagenes van acompañadas de comentarios de colaboradores de la talla de Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicole Kidman, Grace Coddington, Cindy Crawford y Anna Wintour, quien eligio a Lindbergh para que realizara a fotografia de su primera portada del Vogue estadounidense. Los elogios explican por que las imagenes de Lindbergh son unicas y tan poderosas.

While a fantastic cause, can the task of protecting animal rights and habitats also be fun? The answer for Spanish photographer Yago Partal is "yes!" as he joyfully embraces important environmental activism with his form of inventive entertainment. His aim is to increase our awareness of animals who need protection—from the Amur leopard to the plains zebra—with his Zoo Portraits project, which launched in 2013. The project presents animals in anthropomorphized form, wearing clothing and accessories that echo the animal's temperament and preferred habitat. It is not Partal's intention to create distance or make light of the animals, but rather to make people think and nudge them to get involved in protecting animals via pictures, education, and awareness. Mission accomplished: Yago Partal's wonderful animal portraits have found a huge audience, with media like CBS and the Daily Mail reporting enthusiastically on the phenomenon. Beautiful, functional products including iPhone cases and even clothes hangers are available for purchase under the Zoo Portraits label. Ten percent of all proceeds are donated to animal welfare organizations. The book has the same objective: to make people smile as well as inform them. In addition to the unique pictures, there is information on each animal's habitat, size, and population as well as interesting and surprising facts. Presented in a clear and attractive format, this book is equally exciting for children and adults.

There are only two notable differences between toys for little boys and toys for grown-up boys: the toys get bigger with ageand more expensive. Matchbox cars give way to high-end sports cars, model boats become motorboats and sailing yachts, and the plastic wristwatch turns into a Swiss chronograph with a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. The Toys for Men series has always stayed abreast of this male drive to play; in the latest volume, we present the ultimate wish list, a selection of the most exclusive, most innovative, and most luxurious toys that men with money can buy. Of course, the list includes the classic male fantasies of Lear jets, mega- yachts, and super sports carsthe truly giant and great things that move men in the air, on water, or on land. But it also includes the little gadgetsfrom headphones and wristwatches to SLR camerasthat make tech-loving men's hearts beat a little faster. We also include the vices that speak to connoisseurs, like that special bottle of French wine, Scottish whiskey, or Cuban cigars. And last but not least, we include one of the greatest luxuries of all: having a product tailored to you and you alone, bespoke-style. But we're not just talking about custom- tailored suits. Cars, golf clubs, skis, nearly everything today can be customized to suit your particular tastes. If you're searching for the ultimate toys for the gentleman who has everything, you'll hit pay dirt here. Because as philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche already knew, "There is a child hidden in every man: and it wants to play

In 2006, to fulfill a long-held dream, widely acclaimed photographer Michael Poliza and friend Stefan Breuer undertook a helicopter journey across Africa. Skimming close to the ground, they flew over 17 countries on their zigzag route from Hamburg to Cape Town. Poliza's alluring-and often surprising-photographs share this exceptional journey with the world. With a bird's-eye view, we witness the astounding beauty, scale and diversity of this imposing continent. The accompanying texts give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the photographs and brief background to some of the most fascinating subject matters.

From majestic glaciers to vast frozen plains as far as the eye can see, ice is just as important to the world's ecosystems as water, air, and trees. And yet its presence and vital role on Earth is increasingly threatened by the effects of global warming and population growth - the inspiration behind French photographer Laurent Baheux's latest endeavor, Ice is Black. Through breathtaking black-and-white images, Baheux captures the world's most beautiful icy landscapes and the fascinating animals that inhabit them. We get close to creatures and landscapes that seem to be taken out of time. Taken in such far-flung lands as Norway, Iceland, and Canada, Baheux's images present polar bears and their cubs, foxes frolicking in snow, and seals navigating icy waters. While the photographs convey evocative beauty, they also act as a call to action to protect these magnificent icy lands and the creatures that rely on them. AUTHOR: Laurent Baheaux is a French nature photographer and activist who is the author of The Family Album of Wild Africa, published by teNeues in 2015. In addition to the consciousness-raising that is inherent in his photographic work, he accompanies and supports the deeds of organisations such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) that work for the protection of nature and the preservation of biodiversity. His mission is to inspire those who witness his works not only to marvel at them, but also to take action. SELLING POINTS: ? A comprehensive survey of Arctic landscapes and wildlife ? The perfect gift for anyone with an interest in animals, landscapes, nature photography, and adventure travel ? A visual journey that presents natural beauty alongside a call to action to protect these environments 125 duotone photographs

Basílico fotografía lugares suspendidos en el tiempo, sin historia ni futuro. Sus imágenes reflexionan sobre el fín del ciclo industrial y sobre la ruina física e ideológica de la modernidad.

Tanto en sus suntuosas imágenes publicitarias como en sus desnudos de tonos suaves, Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958) fue un alquimista del deseo. El color era esencial para su estética, y utilizó el complejo proceso carbro-tricromatico para crear una superficie seductora de texturas y tonos. Su objetivo era crear paraisos artificiales, formas perfectas con un toque surrealista. Esta concisa monografia presenta la estetica unica de Outerbridge y su trayectoria artistica y comercial, desde su apogeo profesional como el fotografo comercial mejor pagado de Nueva York hasta su retiro a Hollywood en la decada de 1940 tras un escandalo en torno a su fotografia erotica. Con ejemplos clave de su obra, el libro analiza el estilo innovador de Outerbridge a traves de imagenes cubistas de naturaleza muerta, fotografias para revistas y sus controvertidos desnudos, asi como su interaccion con otros fotografos vanguardistas de la talla de Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand y Man Ray. En esta retrospectiva reconocemos tambien la capacidad de Outerbridge para transformar objetos cotidianos en composiciones casi abstractas y su papel pionero en explotar el potencial expresionista, y comercial, de la fotografia en color.
