For more than 20 years, Vincent Peters has been among the best photographers internationally. The artist, a native of Bremen, Germany, lives in Paris and Ibiza and sees the world as his playground. His unmistakable signature style sensitive, classic photos is in equally high demand for celebrity, fashion, and advertising photography. With minimal resources, he is able to create dramatic images that look like stills from an imaginary movie. Every picture makes you wonder what will happen next. His first photo book, "The Light Between Us," was published in 2014 and showed his best shots of actors, models, and musicians. Now he dedicates himself to his favorite subject in "Personal" women. Once again, we encounter stars as they have never been seen before; Penelope Cruz, Linda Evangelista and Irina Shayk are only some of the prominent ladies featured. Vincent Peters hand-selected the pictures for this book, most of which have never been published before. Along with his portraits, there are also nudes that highlight his masterful use of light to create sensuous photographs. This enables him to create mysterious images that celebrate feminine beauty and draw us inexorably under their spell."

Callout: My hope is that my work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body, fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it. People who make pinup photographs don''t care who the woman is, what tragedies or triumphs that person''s life might encompass. My work hopefully works exactly counter to that. My ambition is that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is. --Jock Sturges, the "Boston Phoenix" Long known for his radiant black-and-white naturist portraiture, Jock Sturges has also been quietly working in color for more than two decades. "Life Time" presents a broad range of this color work for the first time and carries forward Sturges'' extended portraits of families in Northern California counter-culture communities and on French naturist beaches. Working with the same models and their families in his long-term studies of growth, change and relationship, his large format images borrow significantly from classical periods in both photography and nineteenth and early twentieth century painting. The large color plates in "Life Time" represent almost perfect one to one translations of the original transparencies and are rich with detail and physical and psychological nuance. Sturges describes his work as "identity driven" because his portraits represent collaborations that stretch over entire lifetimes. The confident ease with which all of his subjects present themselves to his camera evidences a rare level of trust and friendship.

The highly anticipated first body of work in colour by Eugene Richards (b.1944), one of Americas greatest living social documentary photographers.A moving, eloquent and highly personal work on the abandoned and forgotten houses of the American West that brings together themes that encompass all of Richards work and address what he describes as the transient nature of things Richards contemplative, beautiful photographs inspire us to imagine the lives of the former occupants and enigmatic images such as a wedding dress hanging in a bedroom, family photographs stuck on a wall, or snow falling on a bed by an open window, are a meditation on memory and loss The latest publication from the author of Phaidons The Fat Baby (2003) and Dorchester Days (2000) is a quiet, yet powerful, statement on the vulnerability of man in the face of shifting economic opportunities and the climate Eugene Richards is best known for his books and photo essays on cancer, drug addiction, poverty, emergency medicine and paediatric HIV. His intense vision and unswerving commitment have led him to become arguably Americas greatest living social documentary photographer.

Moreniña por te ver Pasei o mar da Marola A piques de me perder. Velaí a apoteose do cancioneiro tradicional coruñés. Tríade céltica -como diría don Manuel Murguía- na forma. E unha mensaxe definitiva no fondo: Compre arriscalo todo para procurar a beleza. A Coruña, luz e vento, unha pedra chantada no Atlantico. E a Torre, ese xigante, entre as Mariñas e a Costa da Morte, facho acendido para abrir camiños no Oceano, ou -o que e o mesmo- para abrir camiños entre todos os misterios. Ruido, fume, cemento... a patina urbana tolda as veces a percepcion dos habitantes desta cidade, e non nos permite sentir as magnitudes cosmicas -pedra, mar, luz e vento- entre as que armamos a nosa vida. Afortunadamente chegou Gwendolyn, unha nova etica na mirada, para nos dar perspectiva. Ven de Oriente de Lonxe, ven de Taiwan, a illa Formosa como lle dixeron os portugueses. E quiza por iso, porque chegou literalmente do outro lado do mundo, sintonizou directamente con ese misterio de luz que se chama A Coruña. Milagre da realidade, tal e como o formulou a poeta Luisa Villalta no seu libro En Concreto: O meu nome e o da Cidade Alta Nacido onde a luz e o mar Se estan orixinando mutuamente A Coruña, nau enfeitizada -dixo Devesa Monterroso-, mar da serpe, luz, pedra, auga, vento, e nos dentro. Aqui, en concreto, onde xermola a cada instante a marabilla. Milagre do cotian que estoupa nos beizos cada vez que pronunciamos a palabra maxica: Orzan! Embarquemos pois neste libro-manifesto. Contra o frio desacougo do cemento, a mirada de Gwendolyn Luo. Destino: beleza, a mellor travesia de futuro para esta cidade barco que se chama A Coruña. Ai! Moreniña por te ver... Xurxo Souto A Coruña, xuño 2008

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.

The most tempting part of a woman's body is her feet. Feet are a woman's second body, the one I can visually enjoy without her being offended or even aware, and never would I have imagined that my little secret would attract so many people. —Ed Fox Ed Fox has been called the new Elmer Batters, but he's clearly no imitator. Yes, there's that "little secret" he shares with the late Mr. Batters, but Fox celebrates the female foot in his own way, creating a style that is unique, contemporary and technically impeccable. Because he draws inspiration from both still photography and music video there's a strong sense of movement in his photos, reflecting his own energetic personality.

Researched, photographed, and compiled over 20 years, Peter Beard's End of the Game tells the tale of the enterprisers, explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose quests for adventure and "progress" were to change the face of Africa in the 20th century. This landmark volume is assembled from hundreds of historical photographs and writings, starting with the building of the Mombasa Railroad ("The Lunatic Line") and the opening-up of darkest Africa. The stories behind the heroic figures in Beard's workTheodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courtney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Denys Finch-Hatton (the romantic hero of Out of Africa), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway, and J. H. Patterson (who became famous as the relentless hunter of the "Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo")are all contextualized by Beard's own photographs of the enormous region. Shot in the 1960s and '70s in the Tsavo lowlands during the elephant-habitat crisis and then in Uganda parks, Beard's studies of elephant and hippo population dynamics document the inevitable overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos.
