'All bands have a different style. I never thought Oasis had a look. Other people did and that's cool. But I'll put tunes over trainers every day. Trainers last for six months. The melodies live forever.' Noel Gallagher 'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley "Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, Observer 'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage *** How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In Oasis: The Masterplan we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity. Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, Definitely Maybe was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.

En la era del selfie, un maravilloso ensayo sobre cómo las mujeres se colocaron ante la cámara en el XIX y, sin alborotar, buscaron caminos para tomar el control de su propia imagen.Desde la invención de la fotografia en 1839, gran parte de las contribuciones aportadas por las mujeres han caido en el olvido, dejando su legado en los margenes de la historia. En los ultimos tiempos, esta vision sesgada ha ido evolucionando gracias al rescate historiografico de numerosas aficionadas o profesionales, participes habituales en las distintas etapas del proceso creativo (investigadoras, fotografas, retocadoras, auxiliares, etc.). En "Retratadas", Stephany Onfray ofrece un enfoque novedoso analizando los inicios del medio fotografico desde el prisma del genero. Gracias a una lucida relectura de la relacion que las feminas mantuvieron con la camara, no ya como operadoras, sino como retratadas, propone nuevas lineas de reflexion para desmantelar los discursos hegemonicos que historicamente las han confinado en un papel de observadoras pasivas. Mediante un exhaustivo examen de la cultura visual y material decimononica, desde la pintura, la literatura o el teatro, pasando por la prensa y una incipiente industria de la moda, la autora explora como, gracias a la capitalizacion de su propia imagen y por lo tanto de su cuerpo, las mujeres desplazaron las fronteras entre los sexos, empezando a ser parte de un dialogo cultural y social que no solamente redefinio los limites de genero, sino que favorecio una vision mas contemporanea, afectiva y artistica del objeto fotografico.

Este libro presenta una breve historia de la fotografía y destaca los géneros y los estilos más significativos en el desarrollo del medio.También recorre los avances tecnológicos mediante los cuales la primitiva camara oscura acabo por transformarse en la moderna reflex digital. Y destaca cincuenta obras clave, que abarcan desde el pictorialismo y el fotoperiodismo hasta la abstraccion y la fotografia directa, que han dejado una huella indeleble en la trayectoria del medio.No se trata de una historia exhaustiva, pero pone de relieve la importancia de la fotografia para entender el mundo que nos rodea. Asimismo, se evita el uso excesivo de tecnicismos y se propone al lector que disfrute y comprenda el arte de la fotografia desde su creacion.

Viewed from over seven decades later the Isle of Wight at the start of the 1950s might at first glance appear to have been experiencing a golden age of railways A real life Island of Sodor where Victorian steam locomotives crisscrossed the Island from Cowes in the north to Ventnor in the south and from Freshwater in the west to Bembridge in the east Even the smallest of villages could claim its own station and the only cloud on the horizon was generated by the passing of a nearby train Or was it The truth of course was rather different From as early as 1950 over a decade before Beeching rumours abounded that the entire network might be at risk of closure In the event the loss of the Ventnor West branch in 1952 would be the first of several routes to be axed over the next few years with around two thirds of the Island s network having closed by the end of the decade Further closures would of course follow in the 1960s In the meantime the pages of the Isle of Wight County Press abounded with proposals for how the Island s antiquated railways could be saved revitalised and modernized all of them doomed to failure and one so bizarre it was described as like something from H G Wells In this book the author provides an overview of the Isle of Wigh

Publicada por A. Marion entre noviembre de 1861 y febrero de 1862, la obra de Charles Clifford A Photographic Scramble Through Spain es un librito de 48 páginas, que empieza por una introducción a los monumentos de España y las experiencias del autor en sus viajes por el pais. A partir de la pagina 30, Clifford suministra una lista de 171 fotografias. Probablemente su proposito era que sirviera como prospecto para la venta de sus albumes de fotografias, prospecto que el comprador podria conservar y utilizar como guia por su contenido de explicaciones y titulos. Existia entonces la costumbre de publicar a veces ese tipo de documento para acompañar estampas y libros, aunque siempre con extension mucho menor. Clifford expandio su modelo, tal vez tras haber l ...
