Stephen Shores 1982 series Uncommon Places, with large-format color pictures of the American vernacular landscape has influenced a generation of photographers. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works presents an expanded, definitive collection of his legendary series.

A powerful and haunting visual record, Stephen Shore's portraits highlight the resilience and hope of Ukraine's Holocaust survivors. Stephen Shore, one of the most influential photographers living today, traveled to the Ukraine in 2012 and again in 2013, just prior to the current political upheaval, to visit 35 survivors, most of whom are women. In the photographs of the survivors and their homes, Shore visually explores their collective experience as seen through quotidian details, and leaves open the question as to how the history of the Holocaust informs the viewer's reception of the portraits. The book's 200 digital color photographs are organized to create intimate portraits of their individual and collective experiences whilst maintaining the unsentimental formal order of his photography. An essay by Jane Kramer, who has written The New Yorker's Letter from Europe since 1981, will situate the survivors and their stories in the historical context of Ukraine's modern history with a particular emphasis in the place of Jews within that history. An important cultural document, Survivors in Ukraine sits between the traditions of the diaristic colour photobook that Shore himself pioneered with Uncommon Places (1982) and American Surfaces (2005), and that of the 'concerned' photographer using the camera as witness to conflict and other historic events.

Stephen Shore is a pioneering photographer and influential teacher. From Galilee to the Negev is an intimate portrait of a multi-faceted place, exploring the landscape of Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank; its complexities and its contradictions. Shore travelled the length and breadth of the region, questioning and revealing through his camera lens. His visual inquiry explores the landscape itself and the people who live in it - the daily lives and the narratives that combine to create this fascinating place - at once beautiful and ugly, safe and hostile. A selection of texts by a diverse range of writers - who have each selected one photograph as a spring board - will be interspersed amongst the photographs, offering a gathering of voices and perspectives.

A highly influential body of work, mostly unpublished, by a photographer who helped establish colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression A chronological sequence of photographs of vernacular America taken in the early 1970s that have been widely exhibited and discussed in Europe and the US A photo-diary of Shore''s experience crossing America that bridges the gap between the road trip tradition of Walker Evans and Robert Frank and the fascination with the ordinary of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Martin Parr A must-have for everyone interested in the history of twentieth-century photography In 1972, Stephen Shore left New York City and set out with a friend to Amarillo, Texas. He didn''t drive, so his first view of America was framed by the passenger''s window frame. He was taken aback by the fact that his experience of life as a New Yorker had very little in common with the character and aspirations of Middle America. Later that year he set out again, this time on his own, with just a driver''s licence and a Rollei 35 - a point-and-shoot camera - to explore the country through the eyes of an everyday tourist. The project was entitled American Surfaces, in reference to the superficial nature of his brief encounters with places and people, and the underlying character of the images that he hoped to capture. Shore photographed relentlessly and returned to New York triumphant, with hundreds of rolls of film spilling from his bags. In order to remain faithful to the conceptual foundations of the project, he followed the lead of most tourists of the time and sent his film to be developed and printed in Kodak''s labs in New Jersey. The result was hundreds and hundreds of exquisitely composed colour pictures, that became the benchmark for documenting our fast-living, consumer-orientated world. The corpus of his work - following on from Walker Evans'' and Robert Frank''s epic experiences of crossing America - influenced photographers such as Martin Parr and Bernd & Hilla Becher, who in turn introduced a new generation of students to Shore''s work.

Stephen Shore is one of the photographers who established colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression. ’American Surfaces’ is one of the bodies of work which exemplifies why.

"A lo largo de su extensa carrera,que comenzó muy temprano ya que con tan sólo 23 años expuso en el Metropolitan Art Museum de Nueva York, Shore ha sido galardonado con importantes premios y ha contado con numerosas monografias - algunas de las cuales son hoy objeto de culto- y con mas de cincuenta exposiciones individuales en los museos mas prestigiosos.El catalogo recoge alrededor de 300 obras y recorre los principales nucleos conceptuales de su practica fotografica : la reflexion sobre el lenguaje fotografico,el analisis sobre el paisaje y el significativo uso del color y del blanco y negro."

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.

An enthralling journey through the career of Cristobal Hara, who after more than half a century as a photographer, returns to his origins. An invitation to rediscover the freshness and sense of wonder with which the best photographs are born. An essential title for photography lovers as well as readers drawn to authentic and transformative life stories. Everyday Spanish life is shown through unexpected angles and fragmented perspectives reflecting the rituals, traditions, and idiosyncrasies of Spanish society. After more than five decades behind the camera, the author recalls a time when being a novice photographer was synonymous with freedom, risk, and discovery. From his youthful decision to abandon the business world to devote himself to photography, through his years of learning on the streets under the dictatorship, to his first international collaborations, this book brings together the images that shaped his craft. With previously unpublished images and personal stories, the author reveals how his vocation was born inspired by Cartier-Bresson and forged on the streets of Francoist Spain and how that spirit of experimentation has accompanied him through portraits, urban scenes, travels, and unique projects. More than just a visual memoir, this work is an invitation to relive the thrill of adventure, the constant search for the unexpected, and the essence of photography as both art and life experience.
