Résumé:
The aerial photographs of Pablo Lopez Luz (born 1979) rove across the urban landscapes of his native Mexico, capturing scenes of dense civic activity and more pastoral areas on urban perimeters. Luz's bird's-eye viewpoint endows his images with the feel of staged artifice, while also permitting the viewer the rare possibility of appraising a vast spread of visual information, and the extraordinary impact that urban populations have as they encroach in ever-increasing circles upon the landscape around them. "Pablo Lopez Luz" contains color photographs produced over the last five years in Acapulco, Chiapas, Mexico City and Tijuana, plus another series made in Hong Kong.

Résumé:
An encounter with Aaron Siskind inspired American photographer Alan Cohen (born 1943) to abandon his doctoral program in thermodynamics and instead pursue a career in photography under Siskind’s tutelage. For the past two decades Cohen has traveled the world, using the medium of black-and-white photography to record places marked by the political acts or the covert actions of others; places marked by time through the course of natural and often catastrophic occurrences. Crumbling stone walls and other near-invisible demarcations of political boundaries are among the mute witnesses he chooses as his subjects. “I have come to understand that history, in a contemporary image, can be sited,” Cohen writes. “Events can--and do--become geography.” This book tracks the evolution of Cohen’s work over a 40-year career, reflecting the artist’s belief in photography as both a social document and a meditative art.

A bien des égards, une grande part de son œuvre se lit comme l’exact miroir d’un pays et plus encore d’une civilisation. Du Mexique, il a tout exploré, tout montré, tout interprété sans jamais céder au pittoresque : des sites mythiques de la civilisation maya aux fresques muralistes en passant par les drames de la révolution zapatiste (cf. L’ouvrier assassiné), il a passionnément interrogé l’essence, la texture, la subtile alchimie d’un pays et d’une nation dont il dresse le portrait philosophique définitif.

Charlevoix 1970 est composé d'une quarantaine de photographies en noir et blanc, auxquelles s'ajoutent des planches présentant l'intégralité du travail charlevoisien de l'artiste (118 images inédites en petit format). Inspiré de la tradition du documentaire social américain, Gabor Szilasi a sillonné la région, à l'automne 1970, en quête des images qui traduiraient une vie rurale sur le point de disparaître. Aux Éboulements et à l'île aux Coudres, à Baie-Saint-Paul et à Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, il a su capter avec acuité l'âme de ce coin de pays et l'esprit des individus. Les images de Charlevoix de Gabor Szilasi sont devenues une référence de la photographie québécoise et canadienne et un témoignage historique incomparable. Le livre comporte des commentaires de Marcel Blouin, de Jean O'Neil et de David Harris.

Résumé:
Selwyn Pullan became known specifically for his ability to contextualize the work of architects through unique composition and tonal range. His photographs were included in numerous architectural periodicals in the 1950s and '60s, and he played an important role in transmitting the new style of West Coast modernist architecture to consumers via popular magazines. Pullan photographed projects for British Columbia's leading architects from this era, including Ron Thom, Arthur Erickson, and Barry Downs, and today his photos are all that are left of many of these projects, now demolished or altered beyond recognition.
