Anfang 1964 erhielt der Fotograf Harry Benson einen Anruf vom Bildredakteur des Londoner Daily Express, der Benson bat, eine Paris-Reise der Beatles zu dokumentieren. Dieser Auftrag war der Anfang der engen Beziehung zur Band, die Bensons Karriere begründete und aus der einige der intimsten Bilder entstanden, die je von den Beatles gemacht wurden.In Paris schoss Benson das berühmte Foto von den Fab Four bei einer Kissenschlacht im Hotel George V, ein Bild, das Benson selbst einmal als bestes seiner Karriere bezeichnete. Später im selben Jahr begleitete er mit der Kamera die erste US-Tour der Band, inklusive ihrem Auftritt in der Ed Sullivan Show, ihrer überraschenden Begegnung mit Cassius Clay und der Hysterie der New Yorker Beatlemania. Außerdem hielt er George Harrisons Flitterwochen auf Barbados für die Nachwelt fest. Er dokumentierte die Beatles bei den Dreharbeiten zu ihrem Debütfilm A Hard Day's Night und war bei der inzwischen berüchtigten Tournee von 1966 zugegen, auf der John Lennon behauptete, die Beatles seien "populärer als Jesus".In diesem Buch sind die besten von Bensons atmosphärisch dichten Schwarzweißbilder versammelt. Dazu gibt es Zitate und Zeitungsausschnitte aus der damaligen Zeit und eine Einleitung von Benson selbst, in der er seine persönliche Sicht auf die Aufnahmen darlegt, die Zeitgeschichte schrieben.

Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elysée in spring 2024, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray's portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. Man Ray (1890-1976) was a man both of and ahead of his time. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium. A close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists. He also worked as a fashion photographer, first for Vogue, and later for Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair. Renowned as the creator of Ingres' Violin - a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022 - Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work. Published in connection with an exhibition at Photo Elysée and in the centenary year of the publication of André Breton's Surrealist Manifesto, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray's portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. It includes portraits of the leading lights of the Paris art scene, among them Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso, as well as a selection of his fashion work. As an innovator of photographic techniques and compositional form, Man Ray found the studio portrait - be it of the artists and writers with whom he had longstanding friendships, or of the objects and sculptures he collected - to be the playground in which he could express the visual wit and experimentation for which he is renowned.

An inspiring, educational, and practical book about philosophy and art, and finding a personally meaningful life.Teacher, philosopher, and author Guy Tal has written several best-selling books on photography, creativity, and expression. While it would be understandable to label Guy a "photographer," it is more accurate to call him a philosopher and artist who has forged a creative life on his own terms: a life shaped by his love of nature, his interest in science and philosophy, his individualistic temperament, and his desire to create art that is expressive and significant in the ways most meaningful to him.In Be Extraordinary: Philosophical Advice for Photographic and Other Artists, Guy shares his knowledge of philosophy and art, then offers advice on how to implement it into your own work.

In the second part, "Practical Advice," he offers a series of brief essays aiming to enable and empower you to apply the foundational philosophies to your own life and work. Together, the two parts demonstrate how Guy has carefully fashioned his own perspective on philosophy, art, and life, and offer you a set of tools for finding your own path.This is not a how-to book of techniques and tips.

This book examines the archival aesthetic of mourning and memory developed by Latin American artists and photographers between 1997-2016.  Particular attention is paid to how photographs of the assassinated or disappeared political dissident of the 1970s and 1980s, as found in family albums and in official archives, were not only re-imagined as conduits for private mourning, but also became allegories of social trauma and the struggle against socio-political amnesia. Memorials, art installations, photo-essays, street projections, and documentary films are all considered as media for the reframing of these archival images from the era of the Cold War dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. While the turn of the millennium was supposedly marked by "e;the end of history"e; and, with the advent of digital technologies, by "e;the end of photography,"e; these works served to interrupt and hence, belie the dominant narrative on both counts. Indeed, the book's overarching contention is that the viewer's affective identification with distant suffering when engaging these artworks is equally interrupted: instead, the viewer is invited to apprehend memorial images as emblems of national and international histories of ideological struggle.
