The making of Elvis, behind the scenesElvis who? was photographer Al Wertheimers response when, in early 1956, an RCA Victor publicist asked him to shoot an up-and-coming crooner from Memphis. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old, Elvis Presley wasas we now knowabout to become a legend. Trailing him like a shadow, Wertheimer was given unlimited access to get up close and personal with Elvis; even as the singer was seducing young women in dark hallways, he allowed the photographer to record his every move. Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Presley that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimers Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history. (Just a month after he shot Elvis recording the Dont Be Cruel/Hound Dog record, it became the first ever to top all three Billboard charts.)

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)
