Glamour Photography Workshop
by Martin Sigrist, Matthias Stolt, Wolfgang Welz
Book Description:
Join a team of photographers and two models on a practical workshop in Majorca for a refreshing look at glamour photography, as they explore both classical and experimental approaches. 

Starting off with a look at the equipment required for a glamour shoot, the authors also offer practical advice on searching for suitable models. The pictures produced during the workshop describe the whole process, and compositional considerations are covered next - the possibilities of camera format and location, and how to frame a figure to achieve different effects. The first practical session has the participants outdoors, choosing locations at the pool, on the beach, and in the landscape. The need to plan shots is emphasised, and this chapter offers plenty of practical advice on how to do this. The second session sees the team setting up an indoor studio, and gives examples of what can be achieved through the positioning of lighting and reflectors, and the use of ambient light. The final chapter discusses what can be done with the images once they have been shot, examining the range of options with slide film, print film and digital media. More than 200 shots and 6 portfolios by the participants demonstrate the success of the workshop, and make this book a real treat for all lovers of modern glamour photography.

Guy Bourdin
by Charlotte Cotton (Editor), Shelly Verthime (Editor)
Book Description: Guy Bourdin (1928-1991) created the most challenging fashion photography of the late 20th century. Over a 35-year career, including more than three decades creating confrontational images for French Vogue and groundbreaking campaigns for Charles Jourdan footwear, he staged complex dramas, with every gesture and prop carrying a potent psychological charge. He showed us that in the context of fashion it is rarely the product that compels us; it is the image--the seductive narratives of the commercial world, and the quest for the unattainable--that stirs our desires. Today, Bourdin stands as one of the most influential image-makers of all time. 

Bourdin cultivated his anonymity, refusing all proposals for books and exhibitions during his lifetime. This volume, published to coincide with the first major exhibition of his photographs, showcases not only his fashion images but also his brooding landscapes and magical cityscapes. The photographs are accompanied by five specially commissioned essays, which together offer the first thorough analysis of Bourdin's unique creativity.

Helmut Newton's SUMO
by Helmut Newton
Bringing an entirely new slant to the concept of the coffee-table book, SUMO is a suitably enormous homage to 79-year-old Helmut Newton, the master of subversive and erotic photography. "I wanted to build a monument to the most important photographer of the 20th century," comments Benedikt Taschen, the publisher behind SUMO. He delivers. Weighing over 65 pounds, measuring more than two feet long, and breaking any previous size record in book publishing, SUMO contains 480 pages of every aspect of Newton's outstanding career in photography. Each copy of the book is bound by hand and numbered and signed by the artist. In order to showcase this colossus, the book is packaged with its own stand designed by Philippe Starck. This outsized volume contains the body of Newton's controversial yet iconographic work, documenting fashion, fetishism, and above all an overriding obsession with voyeurism that can make the viewer feel complicit or uneasy by turns. Newton himself describes SUMO as "terrifying and outrageous. I don't even look at it as a book.... I look at it as an object." --Catherine Taylor, Amazon.co.uk

Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion
by Sheila Metzner (Photographer), et al
Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion intermingles Metzner’s fashion work, her sensual and erotic nudes, and her formalist still lifes — a juxtaposition that conveys a romanticism balanced by precision. The transcendent quality of many of Metzner’s photographs is enhanced by a printing process invented by the Fresson family in 1895 in France, resulting in images that reveal an ethereal tonal range and color saturation. The end results are uniquely Metzner’s own, and have left a major impression on the history of photography. The Publisher
