Color and texture radically influence how we perceive shapes. While looking for an innovative approach at a 1995 Miami photo shoot, photographic master Guido Argentini was moved to coat a model in silver makeup. The result was as beautiful as it was intr

In the 20th century, when pornography made its debut in the film world with its aura of improvisation and amateurishness, it had a caustic challenging quality, a freshness and a natural authenticity. By becoming industrialized and codified, it then let itself be confined in the twofold ghetto of distribution and its related rituals, churning out a pantomime of crude, unexciting, formatted images. Eroticism has always had "better press," especially since it has often been "involved" with literature and great authors have laid sacrifices on its altar. However, limited by censorship, above all self-censorship, to a restrictive representation of sex, it sentenced itself to insipidness and self-mutilation, believing it could find a way out in vain, repetitive sophistication, paradoxically proving, much to the satisfaction of moralists, that since monotony is always born out of uniformity, prefabricated pornography and eroticism have become, and remain boring.

At the turn of the century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (18681952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. The most important images of Curtis' work have been included in this compact homage to the great photographer.

LIFE MagazineLife has, of course, visited its archives before - but never like this. This edition puts the photographs on display, not only as part of the page layout but as the page itself.

And not only will there be photographic prints; there will also be 75 other famous pictures that appeared in Life 's pages, the story behind each of them and the narrative history of what Life 's photography has long meant to the country and, indeed, to the world.This is a unique, ground-breaking book. It is the ultimate treatment of our photography to date in book form. As such it is ultra-commemorative and collectible. The Classic Collection , presented in this classic way, will be a definitive Life Book-and a category leader.

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.

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
