The Waiting Game reúne la serie fotográfica que Txema Salvans realizó durante seis años a lo largo de la costa mediterránea española. Se trata de un cuadro certero sobre la necesidad y el deseo, donde concepto y plasticidad encajan perfectamente. La esencia de su trabajo radica en la exploracion de la amplia y variada paleta de conductas y anhelos humanos a menudo sorprendente.En su recorrido, Txema fotografio en su contexto la prostitucion que se ejerce en la carretera: los cruces y las rotondas, las calles sin salida de los poligonos, los arcenes; espacios que quedan al margen de todo y que le sirven como marco escenico para mostrar una actividad tan sobreexpuesta como la prostitucion.La busqueda y el procedimiento que Txema Salvans utilizo para lograr su objetivo, lo acercan a la indagacion de tipo cientifico; es decir, primero detecto los lugares y a sus protagonistas, y despues se dirigio a ellos camuflado como un topografo.Solo asi fue como pudo acceder a la posibilidad de desarrollar un trabajo que esta entre la diseccion sociologica y la narracion naturalista. En este acercamiento a la prostitucion, la figura solitaria de la mujer que se mantiene a la espera, con su imagen estereotipada de objeto sexual, aparece en una media distancia que resulta chocante y a veces incluso tragica.

First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential.Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Manns extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Manns pictures explore the eternal struggle between the childs simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomythe holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family is printed using new scans and separations from Manns original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.Sally Mann (born in Lexington, Virginia, 1951) is one of Americas most renowned photographers. Her work has been exhibited around the world and is held by such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art, all in New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. She has received numerous honors, including a doctorate from the Corcoran College of Art and Design, Washington, D.C., and a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship.

Hearing the call of the wild and capturing it on camera are two very different things, as the 10 photographers featured in the new book The Masters of Nature Photography can attest. They sometimes spent months tracking their subjects or stood waist-deep in lakes for hours. Still, nature photography is an underappreciated art, says the book's editor, Rosamund Kidman Cox. Because wildlife photography has historically been used mainly to record animals rather than to create art, the job was left to scientists who weren't trying to take something beautiful, says Ms. Cox. But recent improvements in photography, such as larger lenses and digital features, have allowed photographers to get more up-close and artistic.--Alexandra Wolfe"Wall Street Journal" (09/27/2013)

This comprehensive overview combines the best of his work from the worlds of fashion, music and the media. Rankin manages to have us see familiar faces such as Heidi Klum or Beth Ditto in new and challenging ways. Never content with the status quo, he constantly innovates with daring projects such as his current Hunger magazine. Although a master of carefully constructed staging and composition, Rankin's images are always packed to the brim with freshness and spontaneity.

This monograph forms an introduction to the major themes and the key images of American photographer Joel Meyerowitz, illustrated with 55 chronologically-presented images that offer a fresh insight into his career.An introductory essay by Colin Westerbeck discusses Meyerowitz''s life and work and places him both in the context of his time and within the history of photography. Born in 1938 in New York City, Meyerowitz went to Ohio to study painting and medical drawing at the State University but moved back to New York to work in advertising as an art director-designer.He then started to take photographs, leaving his job to concentrate on his new career. Shooting film in black-and-white, he travelled around the United States for three months after which he was offered a Guggenheim Scholarship to take pictures on the theme of ''leisure time''.It is as an early advocate of colour photography that Meyerowitz has had the greatest influence, for he was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance.His subject matter evolved from incidents on city streets shot with a small 35 mm camera to the large format field photograph. Architecture, light and space - particularly at Cape Cod - acquired a new interest for him. After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, he was the only photographer granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero where he systematically documented the work of demolition and excavation, rescue and recovery. He has been awarded the title Photographer of the Year by the Friends of Photography, San Francisco. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both in New York and he has been exhibited and published worldwide, for many years.

La Fábrica ha recuperado la mítica colección Palabra e Imagen, creada a principios de los sesenta por Esther y Oscar Tusquets desde la editorial Lumen, y ha tomado el relevo en la publicación de obras realizadas en conjunto por grandes maestros de la literatura y la fotografia. Libros transgresores todavia hoy, que generan un nuevo lenguaje y logran sumergirnos en un viaje apasionante.Esta nueva entrega de la coleccion Palabra e Imagen es un apasionante recorrido a traves de los siete pecados capitales y sus peculiaridades, que Cristina Garcia Rodero muestra en impactantes imagenes y Gustavo Martin Garzo y Elisa Martin Ortega revisan y actualizan con sus textos.El concepto de pecado, asi como el de culpa, parecen haber desaparecido de entre nosotros. Pero ¿vivimos en un mundo sin pecados? Gustavo Martin Garzo y Elisa Martin Ortega parten de la premisa de que el pecador hoy es quien atenta contra la felicidad de los otros. El punto de referencia etico no es ningun dios, sino el otro ser humano. Y en consecuencia, la felicidad radicaria en dar placer, en alegrarse de las alegrias ajenas.

In 1975, the young Parisian photographer Brigitte Lacombe met Donald Sutherland and Dustin Hoffman at the Cannes Film Festival; these new acquaintances would go on to open doors for her. That same year she was hired as a photographer for the filming of Fellini's Casanova. Since then, Lacombe's famous images have reflected a who's who of Hollywood cinema. This collection spans a masterfully choreographed array of photographs Lacombe took-all the way from the sets of 1970s cinema classics to film milestones of the new millennium, including Alan J. Pakula's All the President's Men, Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York, and Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Conveying a certain intimacy without unmasking any mystery, Lacombe's images capture classical beauty in a way that is fresh and exciting.
