Emerging out of the recent pandemic, Neither is interested in creating a space for new and experimental photographic practices emerging out of South Asia and from the diaspora. However, our ultimate aim is to avoid labels based on region, nation or identity, and so this publication is neither this, nor that. It offers no grand narrative and instead foregrounds the photographic. It welcomes creative production from everywhere and reflects life as its producers and contributors experience it. What is common to all its constituent parts is a commitment to visual language and the way this forms our understanding of the world.In this first issue of Neither, you will find fifteen artists working with the medium: Millo Ankha, Olgaç Bozalp, Philippe Calia, Tenzing Dakpa, Kapil Das, Charlie Engman, Devashish Gaur, Abhishek Khedekar, Katrin Koenning, Anu Kumar, Sathish Kumar, Akshay Mahajan, Kaamna Patel, Miraj Patel and Lorenzo Vitturi. Written contributions are from Muna Gurung, Raghav Pasricha, Sunil Shah and Alisha Clytus Sett. Neither is the creation of Bharat Sikka, edited by Sunil Shah and has been designed by Loose Joints Studio.

Mastering Composition is a comprehensive guide to the secrets behind great photographic composition.Fully updated to include the latest technologies and software, Mastering Composition is the definitive guide for taking great photos, considering visual weight, balance, negative space, and depth. Author and professional photographer Richard Garvey-Williams argues that success lies in a combination of four elements: an impactful subject; dynamic composition; effective use of lighting; and, perhaps the most crucial, an ability to invoke an emotional response in the viewer. Citing examples gleaned from a study of history (the Ancient Greeks' Golden Rule, Fibonacci's mathematical ratio, and the principles known as Gestalt theory) the author analyses the concepts, rules and guidelines that define successful composition in photography and offers practical guidance to achieving great results. In clear, concise and jargon-free text he also considers the role of tone and color in good composition and offers invaluable tips and the tools to help the photographer take control of the creative process. The book is illustrated with examples of the author's own beautiful nature photography, along with diagrams and notation to explain techniques most clearly. A final chapter in this definitive guide for all serious photographers discusses photography and its relationship to art before offering a considered conclusion to the exploration of this fascinating topic.

The car is such an integral part of American culture that it has shaped our largest cities, inspired our best songs, played leading roles in films and books, and when it comes right down to it, has guided the American soul. Over the course of a half a century, Winter captured the American-ness of the car but, intriguingly, he also found a more global spirit, with pictures from Spain, Italy, China, etc. Winter's photographs feature the cars as well as the people in them, on them, and around them. And that's really where the fascinating friction happens because his images aren't simply about the cars themselves but, rather, they focus on the relationship between person and machine. Winter understood that how people relate - physically relate - to cars makes for evocative, emotional pictures, and his frames turn the car itself into a stage upon which owner and passenger and passersby perform. Consequently, there is much to consider in Winter's images: gender, geography, history, race, and class, among others. His pictures are nuanced, meaning that the cars often aren't the "hero" of the fame but rather an integral part of the stage upon which a drama quietly unfolds. And because these quiet dramas are universal - kids eating ice cream in the backseat, the top-down days of summer - Winter's pictures spark us to recall our own memories of our own days of adventure, romance, and speed.

What if color could save us? In a gray world, where the clouds are gathering, this book invites you to a chromotherapia session. We'll treat you to lemon yellow, unlimited blue, bright red and sunny orange... Often disparaged, rarely taken seriously, color photography has nevertheless allowed artists to have a field day, get out their palette and paint the world. A number of artists have freed themselves from the medium's documentary status to explore the common roots of the image and the imaginary, flirting with the worlds of surrealism and pop. Maurizio Cattelan and Sam Stourdzé offer a rereading of the history of color photography through the twentieth century and the works of some fifteen artists who take us on a journey into vibrant, acidulous worlds.

This new selection of Joan Leigh Fermor's photographs is to show what caught the eye of an artist whose interest in what she saw and photographed was outward, and never filtered through a self-referencing lens nor constrained by censorship and market forces. The selection of photographs - as with the previous book, The Photographs of Joan Leigh Fermor: Artist and Lover - is personal and are those which evoke a sense of place and time, and leave - as Joan did - many things unsaid. The 2018 Exhibition of Joan's photographs at the Benaki Museum achieved exactly what we wanted - in the beauty and detail that could be seen in the larger photographs, and by creating a space of calm with a flow of movement.

The series MUSA consists of twenty-six works of UV printed photographs on brass. The works are divided into three sizes which measure 150 x 200, 37,5 x 50 and 80 x 100 cm. The photographs for these works have been taken at various greenhouses in Morocco, which harvest Banana Trees. On the images we see abstract impressions of green and yellow leaves pressed against the plastic sheeting of the greenhouses. On top of that we see strips of copper wiring that keep the plastic sheets in position. It is the first series of images in Vanoverberghe's work that solely puts the focus on the natural aspect of our surroundings.  The work is a continuation in Vanoverberghe's research to the material in which he presents his photographs.

While based in New York, London and Paris, American photographer Sean Thomas constantly travels and photographs around the world. His images for fashion magazines are ephemeral by nature. He thus decided to collect them in a yearbook, where each year he gathers unpublished images, various shootings, and personal works - the personal diary of a fashion photographer who likes to tell stories. Sean Thomas was born in 1970 in Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska. He studied art initially before moving to New York in 2000 where he began working as creative director for the record label Rykodisc before joining Warner Music. He thus had the opportunity to work with pop icons like David Bowie and Elvis Costello, groups including the Talking Head and more. After about ten years in the music industry, Thomas turned to photography. His first series for the magazine i-D in 2008 captured the early menswear creations of the young fashion designer Thom Browne. The creative director Nathaniel Kilcer, one of Thomas's close friends, introduced him to Bruce Weber. In 2013, Here and Beyond: A Nebraska Story, a 42-page photographic series by Thomas in three parts, was featured in All-American, the journal published by Weber. Thomas likes to tell stories, whether real or imagined, and enjoys combining fashion and reporting in his commissions for American and British Vogue, Holiday, Self Service, L'Étiquette, Modern Weekly and Vanity Fair, among other publications. Between his frequent trips, all giving rise to extensive portfolios of images from Central and South America to Cuba, Ethiopia and India, he works for leading fashion labels such as Ralph Lauren, Massimo Dutti, Tommy Hilfiger, Chloé, Stella McCartney, Michael Kors and Victoria's Secret.

The latest works by the renowned Mexican photographerAdrian Burns is a Mexican photographer who trained at the prestigious Putney School and Parsons School of Design, where he studied art history and photography. Trilingual, he is constantly on the move between Mexico, the United States and France. Adrian Burns' singular perspective on the world and his in-depth knowledge of the photographic medium have allowed him, after many years of intense activity, to bring together several series of fascinating images marked by an uncommon visual and poetic force. This monograph follows a first publication by Skira in 2021 and presents his latest works, which are the fruit of a reflective and introspective approach. More than simple snapshots of reality, these photographs of natural phenomena - clouds, snow, waves, etc. - are reworked by the artist, who adds geometric shapes using graphite or acrylic varnish. The result leans towards abstraction, delivering visions that are more akin to dreams than reality.

The history of the book Invasion by Anderson Zaca has its origin with Zaca's invitation to the Fire Island Invasion in 2007, where he was captivated by the annual gathering of thousands of queer individuals and drag queens. With over three thousand images spanning almost two decades, Zaca's photographs serve as both an archive and a tribute to the transformative power of drag artists during this celebration. Shot in black and white film with a medium format film camera, Zaca's work combines traditional and contemporary elements, showcasing the intricate details of each scene and capturing the beautifully contradictory nature of the individuals involved. The Invasion, rooted in the rebellious spirit of the '70s gay liberation movement, represents a unique fusion of rebellion, glamour, and defiance of societal norms. Zaca's images convey a sense of reverence and aim to capture the political, sexual, and fiercely competitive expression of drag queens, highlighting the genius of their beauty and the elegance of this magical event.
