Text in Englisch und Italienisch. Ein verbluffender Fotoband von Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa, dem Besitzer der weltberuhmten Pier 59 Studios, die oft als Hollywood der Fotografie bezeichnet werden Vor dem romantischen und erhabenen Hintergrund der J.-Paul-Getty-Villa auerhalb Roms huldigen sinnlich-dramatische Aufnahmen der weiblichen Form. Ein einmaliges Meisterwerk der Mode- und Erotikfotografie, das die klassischen und modernen Elemente des Mediums in bewahrter Hasselblad-Digitaltechnik und modernster digitaler Videotechnologie prasentiert. Der Autor spendet dem IRC (International Rescue Committee) alle seine Einnahmen an dem Buch. Es ist jedes Mal wieder ein himmlisches Vergnugen, die geschmeidige Form des weiblichen Korpers zu entdecken, zu verehren und zu verwohnen. Der einzigartige Fotoband The Great Beauty feiert dieses aufregende Erlebnis in beeindruckenden Bildern. Er gibt die endlose Faszination, die von den Frauen ausgeht, und ihre verfuhrerischen Reize wieder. Mit elf ausgewahlten Models brach das Produktionsteam zur spektakularen John-Paul-Getty-Villa im italienischen Ladispoli auf. Seit 1640 uberragt das ikonische Bauwerk die Mittelmeerkuste vor den Toren Roms. Hier erwachte das Kreativprojekt nach sechs langen Tagen und Nachten im November 2014 zum Leben unter kalten und widrigen Bedingungen, aber in glanzvoller und idyllischer Abgeschiedenheit. Die Aufnahmen dieses Buches sind eine Mischung aus klassischen und modernen Elementen der Fotografie. Ihr Schopfer, der Fotograf Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa, meisterte nicht nur den traditionellen Umgang mit der klassischen Hasselblad-Digitalkamera, sondern bezwang mit The Dragon auch die modernste digitale Videotechnologie des 21. Jahrhunderts, deren Auflosung derzeit unerreicht ist. Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa ist Grunder, Eigentumer und Prasident des weltweit groten und angesehensten Studiokomplexes fur Fotografie in New York, Pier 59 Studios. Der geburtige Romer arbeitet nicht nur selbst als Fotograf, sondern sammelt auch mit Begeisterung fotografische Kunst. Daruber hinaus ist Pignatelli Grunder und Prasident der Art and Fashion Group (AFG), einer Dienstleistungsholding fur die Werbe- und Modeindustrie, zu der unter anderem eine Modelagentur und eine Produktionsfirma gehoren.

In New York in 1948, photographer Philippe Halsman had a chance meeting with Fernandel, a French movie star from the vaudeville tradition, and asked the actor to participate in a completely original photographic experiment. Halsman would ask Fernandel questions about America to which he would respond using only facial expressions. With his wide, lovable horse-face, Fernandel mimicked the answers to such questions as "Does the average Frenchman still pinch pretty girls in a crowd?" (silly grin) and "What was your reaction to the great American game of baseball?" (perplexed). Fernandel`s reactions are laugh-out-loud funny, and the book that resulted from this unusual collaboration is nothing short of wonderful. The Frenchman has been out of print for over fifty years, but TASCHEN`s reprint thankfully brings it back to life.

Milton H. Greene (1922-1985), famous for his fashion photography and celebrity portraits from the golden age of Hollywood, met Marilyn Monroe on a photo shoot for Look magazine in 1953. The pair developed an instant rapport, quickly becoming close friends and ultimately business partners. In 1954, after helping her get out of her studio contract with 20th Century Fox, they created Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc. Milton and Marilyn were much more then business partners, Marilyn became a part of the Greene family. By the time their relationship had ended in 1957, the pair had produced two feature films, in addition to more than 5,000 photographs of the iconic beauty. There was magic in Milton and Marilyn's working relationship. The trust and confidence they had in each other's capabilities was on full display in each photo.

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.
