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.

"Don McCullin's view of England is rooted in his war time childhood and in growing up in Finsbury Park, north London, in the fifties. His first published photograph was a picture of a gang from his neighbourhood, which appeared in a newspaper after a local murder. The boys were his childhood friends. McCullin has always balanced his anger at the unacceptable face of the nation with tenderness or compassion. In England combines some of his greatest work with many previously unpublished photographs and an entirely new body of pictures." "McCullin sees in his native country a perpetual social gulf dividing the affluent and the destitute. He continues in the same black-and-white tradition as he demonstrated between foreign assignments for the Sunday Times in the sixties and seventies, when his view of a deprived Britain seemed as dark as the conflict zones from which he'd just escaped. At a time when we might believe the world has changed beyond our imagination, McCullin shows us a view of England where the line between the wealthy and the poor is as defined as ever. This time he adds wry humour to his lyricism, as if the nation is as absurd as it is tragic. At the heart of it all is McCullin's deep love of the English landscape. He transforms his views of the hills and fields of Somerset beneath dark, raging skies into the battlefields of his imagination. It is here he feels completely at home."--BOOK JACKET.

The most tempting part of a woman's body is her feet. Feet are a woman's second body, the one I can visually enjoy without her being offended or even aware, and never would I have imagined that my little secret would attract so many people. —Ed Fox Ed Fox has been called the new Elmer Batters, but he's clearly no imitator. Yes, there's that "little secret" he shares with the late Mr. Batters, but Fox celebrates the female foot in his own way, creating a style that is unique, contemporary and technically impeccable. Because he draws inspiration from both still photography and music video there's a strong sense of movement in his photos, reflecting his own energetic personality.

Para el artista canadiense, sus fotografías se dividen principalmente en dos categorías: documental, una representación de un lugar y un espacio específicos sin manifiesta manipulación por parte del artista, y cinematografica, en la que se recrea el contecimiento y se reestructura. Esta ultima categoria comprende desde sutiles movimientos de elementos dentro de una situacion dada hasta acercamientos mas elaborados que conllevan la construccion de escenarios y otros aspectos del trabajo escenico. Si bien para Wall se trata de dos metodos de trabajo distintos, tiene un gran interes en ver como ambos continuamente se confunden y sobreponen a lo largo de la practica artistica. Con abundantes referencias al destacado entorno natural y al distintivo caracter urbano de la ciudad de Vancouver, donde el artista vive y trabaja, el grupo de fotografias que aqui se reproducen se centra principalmente en la obra creada en los ultimos siete años. Esta seleccion ofrece una mirada contundente a las formas en que Wall continua cuestionando y ampliando la manera en que la fotografia es definida y entendida. Jeff Wall fue galardonado con el premio Hasselblad 2002 y su obra forma parte de los museos y colecciones mas reconocidos.

Antonio López busca el barroco cubano en paisajes y gentes. Bares, antros, viviendas, comercios, calles, mulatas teñidas de rubio, generosos escotes, color y reflejos de vidrieras o agrupaciones de todopoderosas bicicletas en la playa. Todo encuentra su lugar en el objetivo del fotografo cartagenero y en sus fotografias basadas en una exacta e imprescindible sensibilidad para la composicion. Hay algo llamado cubania, cualidad elusiva e intangible que, sin embargo, da una caracteristica que, sin embargo, da una caracteristica propia al arte de la Isla. Antonio no solo ha sabido descubrirla sino, para suerte nuestra, tambien la ha retratado.
