For over thirty years, Sebastião Salgado has been photographing, on land and at sea, in the most remote regions of the world, from the Amazon, Asia and Africa to the icy spaces of Antarctica. More than half of the photographs are previously unpublished, and the book is a veritable ode to the beauty of our planet. [Des Oiseaux]( [View All Bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS Maine Gerry Johansson In 2023, Swedish photographer Gerry Johansson roamed the state of Maine with a Rolleiflex, curious to make new pictures in a region of America he first encountered in the work of Paul Strand five decades ago—he found Strand’s views of New England “boring” at the time—and also wondering, “Why is American photography so focused on the west?” As in all of Johansson’s work, endlessly inventive arrangements of architecture and landscape orient the viewer in a specific geographic and cultural place while generously sharing his way of seeing, walking and thinking with a camera. [Maine]( Californian Wildflowers Pieter Hugo In 2014 and 2015, Pieter Hugo met the subjects of his photographs in San Francisco’s Tenderloin and Los Angeles’s Skid Row districts. The high-key lighting of the relentless California sun characterizes these outdoor portraits made in the city streets. Bold colors and chiaroscuro form the language used by Hugo to complement the expansive gestures and curving forms of his subjects — wild and unrestrained. Hugo pairs this theme of abandonment with a style that invokes Dutch Golden Age or Baroque master painters such as Caravaggio or Frans Hals. [Californian Wildflowers]( BOOK REVIEW This Earthen Door Amanda Marchand & Leah Sobsey Reviewed by Cheryl Van Hooven "Amanda Marchand’s and Leah Sobsey’s This Earthen Door is a creation of stunning beauty and reverence — reverence for Emily Dickinson and her love of flowers and poetry, and, more generally, reverence for the natural world. Using digital scans from a facsimile edition of Dickinson’s mid-19th century herbarium, the original too fragile to be taken from dark storage at Harvard’s Houghton Library, their imaginative reinterpretation of this work is a collaborative synergy of photography, poetry, art, botany and bookmaking..." — Cheryl Van Hooven [Read the Full Review]( [Order Copies]( RECENTLY FEATURED Extraction / Abstraction Edward Burtynsky Extraction / Abstraction presents a dichotomy of Burtynsky’s image-making imperative: the lucid and informed documentation of large-scale extractive processes, and how he transforms the landscapes of industry into complete abstractions. Other essential themes in his oeuvre such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and waste also find their rightful place here. [Extraction / Abstraction]( TX I CA 19 Jason Lee Moral Minority Sergio Purtell Monument Trent Parke Mo Yi Selected Photographs 1988-2003 Mo Yi is a photographic artist with a career spanning nearly forty years, from the 1980s to today. This retrospective contextualizes his work within the evolution of contemporary art following reform and opening in China in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. Working in a documentary tradition, but building on and reinterpreting the meaning of "documentary," Mo Yi's practice is exemplified by experimentation. Regularly creating work in distinct series, he has continually tested ways of extending the boundaries of the medium and his own personal expression. [Mo Yi]( Juggling is Easy Peggy Nolan Day Jobs The Glacier is a Being Julian Stettler American Photographs Michael Ormerod Previously unseen black & white photographs taken in the United States by Michael Ormerod (1947-1991) form this new book. Ormerod was a British photographer whose life was tragically cut short in August 1991 following a road accident on his last field trip to the US. For the past decade the photographer’s daughter, Ali Ormerod, has worked alongside photographers Geoff Weston and Alan Thoburn to search through his archives of unprinted negatives to revisit the work and bring it to a new audience.
