Photobook-Linda McCartney-Light from within Hardback Pages: 183 Size: 27.5 x 21.5 cm Published: 2001 Publisher: Little, Brown & Company Stock number: RG1636/0124 Price: £30 + P&P Although in a sense a retrospective of Linda McCartney's photographic work, this book is not a compilation made in retrospect but a book she intended to make and worked toward over a long period of time. The photographs featured form a document of 30 years of Linda's life. They range from intimate but expressive observations of her close family to her own brand of spontaneous surrealism; perceptive portraits mingle with witty juxtapositions of compositional elements. An over-riding factor binds together the rich variety of her imagery - it was consistently mediated through the sensibility of a photographer with a special human warmth. The book includes four haikus, published here for the first time, which Linda completed just days before she passed away. She had intended to write three further haikus, but apart from the title, taken from the lyrics of one of her own songs, the contents, both pictures and words were finalized in her lifetime. Good condition throughout. Signed by owner on inside page. -

Photobook - Paris Pictured - Julian Stallabrass
Hardback Size: 30.8 x 25.5 cm Pages: 114 Illustrations: Over 130 black & white photographs Published: 2002 Publisher: Royal Academy of Arts Stock number: 017759/0123 Price: £35 + P & P Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine and is protected by a clear removable sleeve. Orange cloth. This selection of images examines the growth and development of photography through the changing character of Paris in the remarkable period of 1900 - 1968. During these years, photography became a mass medium, with cheap reproductions appearing in the press. Technical advances made it possible to capture rapid movement and street photography flourished; some of the finest images in documentary photography were made on the streets of Paris by Atget, Brassai, Cartier - Bresson, Doisneau and Ronis, among many others. The transience of city life and the histories of Paris are brilliantly evoked in these images: from the elegiac photographs of the early twentieth century which recorded those quartiers later condemned by modernisation projects, through the Occupation, to the upheaval of the May 1968 demonstrations. With over 130 photographs and Julian Stallabrass's authoritative text, this book is an essential purchase for anyone interested in the art of photography and the city of Paris. -

Photobook-Joel Meyerowitz-Aftermath, World Trade Center Archive Hardback Pages: 350 Size: 29.2 x 39.4 cm Published: 2006 Publisher: Phaidon Press Stock number: RG2093/0124 Price: £35 + P&P After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th 2001, the world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt compelled to visit the site, to document and record the aftermath of the largest ever attack on US soil. Although initially turned away by police (on the grounds that the site was a crime scene and could not be photographed), Meyerowitz was determined to gain access to the area. Within days he had established strong links with many of the firefighters, policemen and construction workers contributing to the clean up. With their assistance he became the only photographer to be granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero. Once there he systematically began to document the wreckage followed by the necessary demolition, excavation and removal of tens of thousands of tonnes of debris that would transform the site from one of total devastation to level ground. Soon after the Museum of the City of New York officially engaged Meyerowitz to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero and the immediate neighborhood. The 9/11 Photographic Archive numbers in excess of 5,000 images and will become part of the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York. In good condition and still with its original plastic covering. Small bang on base of spine. -
Photobook-Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places: The Complete Works by Hardback Pages: 208 Size: 32.7 x 26.2 cm Published: 2014 Publisher: Thames and Hudson Ltd (Revised and expanded edition) Stock number: RG2275/GNO1 Price: £35 + P&P Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shore’s legendary Uncommon Places has influenced a generation of photographers. Among the first artists to take colour beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, Shore’s large-format colour work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition over the past thirty years. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works is the definitive collection of this landmark series. An essay by noted critic and curator Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen and a conversation with Shore by fiction writer Lynne Tillman examine his methodology as they elucidate his roots in the pop and conceptual art movements of the late sixties and early seventies. The texts are illustrated with reproductions from Shore’s earlier series American Surfaces and Amarillo: Tall in Texas. -

The result of over 30 years documenting the lives of hunters, fishermen, and farmers in the North, this collection is a rare testament to the people across Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland whose worlds and ways of life have now all but disappeared. With the original foreword by Mary Ellen Mark. Raised on an isolated farm in southern Iceland, Ragnar Axelsson (born 1958) became captivated early on by the brutal beauty of the North Atlantic and the delicate interactions between its inhabitants and their environment. Born of that fascination, Faces of the North, first published in 2004, established Axelsson as one of the leading documentary photographers of our time. Long out of print, Faces of the North is now republished with this small edition. In the 2004 edition of Faces of the North, Axelsson collected the images of farmers, hunters, and fishermen in the Arctic and the Atlantic that he became best known for. -

Photobook - Walker Evans - The Magazine Work - David Campany
Hardback Size: 32.5 x 25.2 cm Pages: 224 Published: 2014 First edition Publisher: Steidl, Germany Stock number: 017752/0123 Price: £45 + P & P Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. A very fine copy in illustrated white paper covered boards, without jacket as issued. Plates, printed in sepia, with long introductory essay by David Campany. Walker Evans was one of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century, producing a body of photographs that continues to shape our understanding of the modern era. He worked in every genre and format, in black and white and in colour, but two passions were constant: literature and the printed page. While his photographic books are among the most significant in the medium’s history, Evans’s more ephemeral pages remain largely unknown. In small avant - garde publications and mainstream titles such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Forum, Life and Fortune he produced innovative and independent journalism, often setting his own assignments, editing, writing and designing his pages. Presenting many of his photo - essays in their entirety, Walker Evans: The Magazine Work assembles the unwritten history of this work, allowing us to see how he protected his autonomy, earned a living and found audiences far beyond the museum and gallery. -
Photobook-Robert Frank-story lines Softback Pages: 144 Size: 24.5 x 28.5 cm Published: 2004 Publisher: Steidl Publishers, Germany Stock number: RG2089/0124 Price: £45 + P&P "Robert Frank is one of the most influential of all post-war photographers. Pioneering a revolutionary approach to photography and filmmaking, he combines autobiographical and poetic elements to produce straight black and white images that transcend the specific. Speaking of universal experience, 'I'm trying to forget easy photo, trying to make something from within,' he has said, 'time moves on and never stops or waits.' Often involving a progression through a series of images, his work is structured like a musical sequence, creating storylines that resonate beyond the frozen moment of any single photograph. Storylines accompanied an exhibition highlighting Frank's experimental use of narrative in photography and film. The exhibition included work from films and photographs (including Polaroids, contact sheets and recent digital stills) and several artist's books. The photographs are from locations as distant as Peru, London, Wales, Coney Island and Chicago." This book was produced to accompany the exhibition held at the Tate Modern, 28 October 2004 – 23 January 2005. -
Photobook - Landscape Photography - Saskia Boelsums
Hardback Size: 308 mm x 250 mm Pages: 208 pages Illustrations: 220 colour Price: £50 + P & P The dramatic landscape photographs of Saskia Boelsums manifest a strong connection to the Dutch tradition of landscape paintings. She is inspired by nature, weather, and the seasons, with clouds and skies characterised by moody chiaroscuro and painterly monumentality. The reality of the changing climate, and what this will mean for the future, is a theme that runs throughout her work. She captures not only the beauty of the landscape, but also a vague sense of uncertainty and threat. As she says: It looks like the classic historical Dutch landscapes and skies are being pushed out by landscapes and skies that are the result of climate change. I am very aware of that tension. I am photographing when most people think the weather is too bad to go outside. By exploring different landscapes in all four seasons, I feel strongly connected to the universe. That feeling I'm trying to pass on through my landscape photos. -Saskia Boelsums. -
Photobook - Bert Stern - Adventures
Hardback Size: 30 x 29 cm Pages: 208 Illustrations: 71 colour, 82 black & white Published: 1997 Publisher: Little, Brown US; First Edition Stock number: 017750/0123 Price: £55 +P & P Hard Cover.

Firmly associated with the golden age of advertising, many of his images are classics. This book collects 150 examples of his work. His advertising images, like the Egyptian pyramid seen inverted in a glass for a 1960s' Smirnoff advertisement, are featured, as well as portraits of famous women, from Elizabeth Taylor and Drew Barrymore to Twiggy and Iman. -
Photobook-A Maverick Eye: the Street Photography of John Deakin Hardback Pages: 208 Size: 30.5 x 25 cm Published: 2002 Publisher: Thames & Hudson Stock number: RG1616/0124 Price: £55 + P&P John Deakin's extraordinary documentary photographs are haunting evocations of life on the streets of London, Paris and Rome in the 1950s and 1960s. His eye is a profoundly generous one and his chief focus is on ordinary life. His pictures of dog walkers, priests, nuns and shopkeepers reveal and empathy to tival that of Doisneau and Brassai. Equally intriguing are his depictions of human activity with the participants gone: a vanished vernacular of chalked-up children's games, of graffitied messages of love or anger to the world, street signs, peeling wills, window shutters and shop-front banners - signals from another age. Revealed here is a far broader range of photography than that on which Deakin's reputation has rested so far. But the creative souls and maverick talents that frequented the streets of Soho in its heyday - Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud among them - make their appearance along with anonymous figures and strong faces from Paris and Rome. Both friends and stars appear in Robin Muir's introduction, which describes both Deakin the man and Deakin the artist. Following his death in 1972 his work lay neglected for a number of years and his reputation dwindled. A Maverick Eye restores him to his proper place and one of the great photographers of the postwar period. -
Photobook-Rankin-More Hardback Size: 36.5 x 28 cm Pages: 368 Illustrations: B&W and colour photographs Published: 2013 Publisher: TeNeues Stock number: 011628/0124 Price: £58 + P&P One of the most compelling celebrity photographers of his generation, Rankin brings a charged vitality to all the subjects he portrays. Never afraid to break with convention, he always brings a distinctive artistry to his saucy and irreverent interpretations of sex and glamour. This comprehensive overview combines the best of his work from the worlds of fashion, music and the media. Rankin manages to have us see familiar faces such as Heidi Klum or Beth Ditto in new and challenging ways. Never content with the status quo, he constantly innovates with daring projects such as his current Hunger magazine. Although a master of carefully constructed staging and composition, Rankin's images are always packed to the brim with freshness and spontaneity. Very good condition with very slight wear to the corners. -
