Ylla (1911-1955) widmete sich der Tierfotografie zu einer Zeit, als noch niemand daran dachte, ausschließlich Tiere zu fotografieren. Sie schuf etwas gänzlich Neues - sie hielt die individuellen Ausdrucksweisen und Persönlichkeiten der Tiere im Bild fest. Dieses Buch erzählt die spannende Geschichte einer selbstbewussten, abenteuerlustigen Frau, die als Pionierin der Tierfotografie Furore machte.Yllas bewegtes Leben führte sie von Belgrad über die surrealistischen Künstlerkreise von Paris, zu denen auch Brassaï, Kertesz und Moholy-Nagy gehörten, nach New York. Ihre ersten Aufnahmen machte sie im Studio und in Zoos, bevor sie schließlich nach Afrika und Indien reiste, wo sie bei einem tragischen Unfall während eines Wasserbüffelrennens ums Leben kam. Ihre Bücher Animals in Africa und Animals in India gehören zu den ersten dieses Themas. Ylla führte die Tierfotografie auch in die Kinderliteratur ein. Der kleine Löwe und Zwei kleine Bären gehören zu den Klassikern der Jugendliteratur.

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In draws parallels between two of the most significant practitioners in the history of photography, presenting fresh research, rare vintage prints, and previously unseen archival works.

For more than two hundred years, women have served in the American Armed Forces in various capacities, aiding their country when they could not enlist themselves. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law, officially allowing women to serve as full, permanent members of all branches of the military, though they could not yet serve in direct combat. Just a decade ago, in 2013, the ban on women in combat was lifted, allowing them to serve in direct combat roles. This book is an absorbing account of the contributions and experiences of a dozen women serving in the military in recent decades. Photojournalist Steven Clevenger met the women on his various assignments covering wars overseas and at their home bases in the United States, as well as through the Warrior Games and other programs for veterans. Pairing powerful photographs with interviews, Clevenger intimately captures each soldier's strength, vulnerability, and resilience, creating a poignant and heartfelt body of work that is sure to inspire anyone.

Enigmatic rock art featuring a myriad of symbols and designs can be found throughout remote and arid landscapes of the Greater Southwest, from the Four Corners region of the American West to the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. This vast gallery of ancient art offers intriguing questions. Who created these images on stone and what were their motivations? What do they mean? Are they to be taken literally or might they stand for something else? In this book, William Frej's powerful black and white photographs of rock art in the American Southwest and Baja California provide the opportunity to explore this diverse and mysterious imagery--and to ponder these questions. By framing these images on stone by the expansive landscapes in which they are found, his photographs emphasize the importance of their settings. The accompanying photo captions by noted rock art scholar Polly Schaafsma present clues to the symbolic content of these stone murals. Her essay, "Blurred Boundaries," addresses the ambiguities latent in their complex meanings. To illustrate, Schaafsma addresses several elements of the visual vocabulary of rock art in the region-the spiral, stepped clouds, depictions of the human form, animals, and shields. Schaafsma notes that rock art can be viewed from many perspectives and she suggests that we move beyond Western philosophy to consider an animistic universe in which all things are sacred. In the foreword Frank Graziano also emphasizes how our own beliefs and perceptions influence the way we experience rock art. Rock art is more than a static reminder of the faraway past. The images continue to impact us even today, no matter what our perspective.

The perfect primer on American photographer, photojournalist and filmmaker Ruth Orkin. Ruth Orkin (1921¿85) always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker, and although that ambition was thwarted until later in her career, she quickly found other ways of engaging with the world of images. She was given her first camera at the age of ten and by the age of seventeen, she was cycling across America from Los Angeles to New York, documenting her trip in albums of annotated photographs. In the early 1940s she settled in New York, joining the Photo League and making her name with photo stories for major magazines such as Life, Look and This Week. In images that range from celebrity portraits to bird¿s-eye views from her apartment window, from children at play to the experiences of a lone American tourist in Italy, Orkin¿s photography always retains a cinematic sense of the passage of time and allows the humanity and charisma of her subjects to shine through.

"Moving Pictures" beleuchtet die Hollywood-Karriere des bahnbrechenden Künstlers Karl Struss (1886-1981), der gleichermaßen mit unbewegten und bewegten Bilder zu Starruhm gelangte. Anhand von Fotografien, Filmen und Archivmaterial erzählt der Band seine multimediale Geschichte und zeichnet nach, wie der gefeierte Fotokünstler Struss zu einem der führenden Kameramänner Hollywoods wurde.In den 1920er-Jahren wandte sich Struss vorwiegend bewegten Bildern zu und stand bei Filmen wie "Ben Hur" (1925) und "Sonnenaufgang - Lied von zwei Menschen" (1927) hinter der Kamera. Im Laufe seiner Karriere arbeitete er mit den berühmtesten Leinwandstars und Regisseuren seiner Zeit wie Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Mae West, D.W. Griffith und Walter Murnau. Vor allem sein technischer und künstlerischer Beitrag zu "Sonnenaufgang" war revolutionär. Bis heute gilt der Film als ein Höhepunkt der Stummfilmkunst, und zu Recht erhielten Struss und sein Kollege an der Kamera, Charles Rosher, für "Sonnenaufgang" den ersten je vergebenen Oscar für die beste Kamera. Erstmals seit dreißig Jahren bietet mit "Moving Pictures" nun eine Monografie ein Gesamtbild von Struss' Schaffen.

A captivating photographic odyssey spanning fashion, Hollywood and travel, this is the first publication in almost 40 years on the work of George Hoyningen-Huene, the photographer whose images defined an era. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900¿1968), known simply as Huene, worked during the golden age of couture fashion and Hollywood cinema. He was born in St Petersburg to a wealthy family, but they had to flee their home during the Russian revolution in 1917. Huene spent time in England before moving to Paris, where he was employed to create photographs for Vogue and Vanity Fair and rapidly established himself as a visual innovator, fusing elements of neoclassicism and surrealism to create chic, arresting images. In 1935, Huene joined Harper¿s Bazaar magazine, where he remained a contributor until 1946, following which he settled in California and embarked on a second career as a colour coordinator for Hollywood films. Supported by an international exhibition opening at Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo, this book combines elegant design and production values with rigorous new research and scholarship. Organized into eight chapters, each supported by texts by contributing writers from the worlds of fashion, cinema and photography, and featuring names and faces that have defined our view of style, glamour and grace in the 20th century, it reminds us of Huene¿s position among the greats of photography.

In the last decade, London's East End has seen some of the highest rates of pub closures in Britain.

It's time to halt the tide and celebrate these great pubs so we don't lose them forever. From wet led backstreet boozers to gastropubs serving local produce and craft ale, this book celebrates the rich histories, snug bars, welcoming Guv'nors, florid carpets, loyal punters and inventive landladies of these unique and cherished institutions.

Verborgen, verblasst und verrostet finden sich am Straßenrand Schilder, die in Schrift und assoziativen Bildern ihren Bezug zur Realität verloren haben - als seien sie in der Landschaft vergessen worden. Die Fotografin Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek hat diese aus der Zeit gefallenen Überreste in Ibiza aufgespürt und zeigt sie in einer poetischen Fotopublikation als Reminiszenz an das Vergangene.Ein Mann mit Hut eilt über den Zebrastreifen, ein Mädchen mit Zöpfen auf dem Schulweg, Hinweise auf längst geschlossene Restaurants, Piktogramme von lange aus dem Verkehr gezogenen Automobilen: Mit ihrer Kamera erlöst Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek die veralteten Schilder Ibizas aus ihrem Zustand des Unbeachtet Seins. Die Fotografien enthüllen sowohl die humor- als auch kunstvolle Seite, die Zeit und Witterung hinterlassen haben. Ein fotografisches Kleinod über die Vergänglichkeit.

This is how the knitting begins to get my mind focused on goals throughout the year. This book encourages me to continue to work with tutors, coaches, classmates and/or lead as a parent, by showing up for college courses when possible. It could be showing up for each shift as well as continuing education, because after all, this is a book to keep up to par on endeavors instead of continue to want to do so much when these goals are in progress somehow, through the efforts presented through each photo, correct?

In Hiking New Mexico's Chaco Canyon, James C. Wilson wrote a guidebook for hiking and camping in Chaco Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northwestern New Mexico that the Zuñi, Hopi, Acoma and other Pueblos consider their ancestral homeland. New Mexico's Chaco Canyon: Photographing the Ancient City is intended to be a guidebook for amateur photographers wanting to photograph the canyon and its spectacular ruins. The volume offers tips on where, when, and sometimes how to photograph the ruins of the ancient stone city that dates from about 860 to 1200 A.D. Wilson takes you on a tour of the Great Houses in the canyon, including Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl (with 650 and 500 rooms respectively). Photographers will discover how images of the massive stone structures vary by angle, light, and time of day. Photographers can experiment with different lenses and camera settings, including manual and automatic, as they explore the smaller Great Houses and Casa Rinconada, the largest excavated Great Kiva in the canyon. Wilson then points out the trails of Chaco's three mesas (North, West, and South Mesa) that connect with Chaco's ancient road system. The various overlooks on the mesa trails provide spectacular views of the ruins and the red sandstone cliffs of the canyon. The colors of the wider landscape--subtle shades of pink, yellow, and gray--make for a landscape photographer's dream.
