Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In 1949 the photographer and co-founder of Magnum Photos, George Rodger, learned of the Nuba tribe while traveling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government to take pictures of these striking people, who lived as their ancestors had centuries before. After publication in National Geographic magazine, these pictures-as well as Rodger's fascinating journal entries from the shoot-have not been available to the wider public. Now, Rodger's rare softly colored Kodachrome images are gathered in a sumptuous volume, and introduced in an essay by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins. Beautifully reproduced, Rodger's photographs emphasize the muted colors of the Sudanese landscape as well as the Nuba's penchant for vivid body paint, clothing, and jewelry. They are a superb example of early color photography, and a stunning celebration of a little-known tribe that lives in one of the world's harshest environments.…

Hardcover. Square Quarto. Hardcover. Black cloth boards in pictorial jacket with half sheet flaps. 227 pages : color illustrations, portraits ; 29 cm. Pieter Hugo has been documenting his native continent of Africa since his late teens. This retrospective volume collects photographs from each of his earlier series, as well as portraits and landscapes that have never been shown or published before-- "Filled with startling portraits of Africa's raw and tragic beauty, this first retrospective of Peter Hugo's award-winning work collects the most important images from the photographer's career to date. Pieter Hugo has been documenting his native continent of Africa since his late teens. An autodidact, he was eventually drawn to portraiture, an interest that culminated with his hugelypopular book, The Hyena and Other Men. Since that book, Hugo has continued to earn high praise while testing the limits of the traditional portrait. As Aperture magazine observes, "Hugo maneuvers through the muddy waters of political engagement, documentary responsibility, and the relationship of these to his own aesthetic." In the books Nollywood and Permanent Error he suffuses a journalist's perspective and a voyeur's theatricality into images of Africa's people and environment. This retrospective volume collects photographs from each of his earlier series as well as portraits and landscapes that have never been shown or published before. Essays by three esteemed photographic critics contextualize Hugo's career within the realm of contemporary photography. Full-page color illustrations highlight Hugo's extraordinary talent for teasing out the subtleties in otherwise stark images." -- Publisher's description. VG. Ex-lib with typical markings.

Paperback. Condition: VG. Color-illustrated wraps with white lettering. 63 pp. Color illustrations. Michael Itkoff has traveled the world since 2002 taking portraits of everyday people in the street. In his photographs a makeshift backdrop is held behind each of his subjects in London, Sydney, Hanoi, Bangkok, and New York. This technique, normally reserved for celebrity and commercial portraiture, creates a striking aesthetic isolating the subjects from their urban contexts and allowing them to exist in a shared visual space as part of the same extended family.--Publisher. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Finnskogen - wörtlich: Finnenwald - ist ein großes zusammenhängendes Waldgebiet ander Grenze zwischen Norwegen und Schweden, wo sich zu Beginn des 17. JahrhundertsBauernfamilien aus Finnland ansiedelten. Die Einwanderer - die sogenannten Waldfinnen- machten Waldstücke durch Brandrodung urbar. Diese alte Erschließungsformbrachte reiche Ernten hervor, verschlang jedoch große Waldgebiete, denn der Bodenwar schnell ausgelaugt. Da das Naturverständnis der Waldfinnen in östlichen schamanischenTraditionen wurzelte, wurde dieses Volk oft mit Zauberei und Mystik in Verbindunggebracht.Das Fotoprojekt bezieht sich auf diese Assoziationen, erforscht aber gleichzeitig -etwa 400 Jahre und zwölf Generationen später - die heutige Identität der Waldfinnen.Terje Abusdal ( 1978) arbeitet als visueller Erzähler überwiegend an freien Projekten,die an der Grenze zwischen Realität und Fiktion angesiedelt sind. Er lebt und arbeitetin Oslo. 2017 gewann Slash & Burn den Nordic Dummy Award und den Leica OskarBarnack Award.

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Aaron Schuman . Cm 24x17. pp. 120. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione firmata a penna al frontespizio (First Signed Edition). . SONATA è un ampio corpus di lavori fotografici realizzati da Aaron Schuman in Italia negli ultimi quattro anni. Piuttosto che tentare di catturare e trasmettere una realtà oggettiva, queste immagini sono consapevolmente filtrate attraverso le molte idee, fascinazioni e fantasie associate al Paese e a ciò che ha rappresentato nell'immaginario degli innumerevoli viaggiatori che lo hanno visitato nel corso dei secoli. Ispirandosi al Viaggio in Italia di Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1786-1788), Schuman ricerca e studia quelle che Goethe definiva "impressioni di senso", riproponendo molte delle domande introspettive che Goethe stesso si poneva durante i suoi viaggi in Italia.

Hard cover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer\n\n'Do you know the land where lemons trees bloom, Where oranges glow like gold in a dark leafy gloom' Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1796\n\nSONATA is an extensive body of photographic work made by Aaron Schuman in Italy over the past four years. Rather than attempting to capture and convey an objective reality, these images are consciously filtered through the many ideas, fascinations, and fantasies associated with the country and what it has represented in the imaginations of those countless travellers who have visited it over the course of centuries. Drawing inspiration from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Italian Journey (17861788), Schuman pursues and studies what Goethe described as 'sense-impressions', reiterating many of the introspective questions that Goethe asked himself during his own travels through Italy: 'In putting my powers of observation to the test, I have found a new interest in lifeCan I learn to look at things with clear, fresh eyes? How much can I take in at a single glance? Can the grooves of old mental habits be effaced?' The resulting images are curious, quizzical, and entrancingly atmospheric, conveying a foreigner's sensitivity to details, quirks, and mysteries: cracks that spider across ancient statues and museum walls, paths that have been shaped and trodden over millennia, the piercing eyes and looming presence of saints and gods all around, accumulations of dust, bones, sunlight, and lucky pennies. Using the classical sonata form three movements moving through exposition, development, and recapitulation as a guide, Schuman invites us to explore an Italy as much of the mind as of the world: one soaked in the euphoria and terror, harmony and dissonance of its cultural and historical legacies, and yet constantly new, invigorating, and resonant in its sensorial and psychological suggestions.\n\nEmbossed and printed hardcover\n17 x 24 cm, 120 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-58-5\nJune 2022. …
