Résumé:
Pendant une année, Matthieu Ricard, photographe et moine bouddhiste, a séjourné dans la solitude d'un ermitage sur les hauteurs de Katmandou. Immergé dans cette nature spectaculaire, entre les vallées verdoyantes du Népal et la chaîne himalayenne, il est resté à l'écoute de la nature, attendant chaque jour la lumière qui s'offrait à ses yeux émerveillés. C'est ce chemin qu'il nous invite à emprunter aujourd'hui. Voyage visuel et spirituel au cœur des contreforts de l'Himalaya népalais, ce recueil photographique, fruit de cette longue " attente sans attente ", fait du lecteur le témoin privilégié de cette nature grandiose dont l'harmonie se mêle à la paix de la méditation.

Résumé:
Photography is something concrete, a perception, what you see with your eyes, And it happens so fast that you may not see anything at all! TO photograph is to paint with light! The flaws are part of it. That's what makes the poetry. And for that you need a bad camera. If you want to be famous, you have to be worse at something than everyone else in the world! Miroslav Tichy

This title fixes the gaze on writers as we seldom see them. These photographs, and the stories that accompany them, were captured where the writers live, work, or play. The result is a series of portraits that take us inside writers’ lives and inside the process of making portraits—all served with a touch of refined literary gossip.

She makes us see things that would otherwise remain unseen. The final result is a poignant commentary not only on the desert landscapes to be found 'out west,' but also on the act of seeing the American West." - Geoffrey Batchen, author of Forget Me Not: Photography and Remembrance"

Résumé:
In 1909 the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project : to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome - the world's first portable, true-color photographic process - to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace. Over the next twenty years, he sent a group of photographers to more than fifty countries around the world, amassing more than 72,000 images. Until recently his collection was all but forgotten. Now, a century after he began his "Archives of the Planet" project, this book - richly illustrated in color throughout - and the BBC series it follows are bringing Kahn's early twentieth-century pictures to a wide audience for the first time, and putting color into what we usually think of as a monochrome world.

Résumé:
Famed worldwide for his epically-proportioned photographs, Andreas Gursky is one of very few contemporary artists able to represent cultures of excessive information--which he does through images of supermarket wares, crowds, trash, architecture and nature. The extreme detail of Gursky's final image--achieved by digital restructuring--produces a vertiginous effect on the viewer, as it oscillates between total representation and total abstraction. It could be said that Gursky updates the eighteenth-century sublime for our times. This publication surveys the artist's most recent creations, on display at the renowned Kunstmuseum Basel throughout the winter of 2007/2008. Two new groups of works in particular, one on Formula One races and the other on the famous Arirang Festival (a closely-choreographed mass spectacle in North Korea's capital of Pyongyang), are gathered here.

Résumé:
In the 1860s, William Mumler photographed ghosts—or so he claimed. Faint images of the dearly departed lurked in the background with the living, like his well-known photo of the recently assassinated Abraham Lincoln comforting Mary Todd. In this book, Louis Kaplan brings together, for the first time, Mumler’s haunting images, his revealing memoir, and rich primary sources, including newspaper articles and P. T. Barnum’s famous indictment of Mumler in Humbugs of the World. Kaplan also contributes two extended essays, which offer a historical perspective of the Mumler phenomena and delve into the sociocultural and theoretical issues surrounding this vivid ghost story.
