Trained as a painter, his eye for composition was unerring, but it was his instinct for the defining human gesture--that he termed "the decisive moment"--that made him one of the immortals of photographic history. As one of the founding ...             Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph16 reviews Aperture, 1997 "Cast A Cold Eye On Life, On Death. Horseman, Pass By!" Epitaph of W.B. Yeats It is not overstating the case to say that creating these photographs cost Diane Arbus her life, her suicide followed soon after they were assembled. When you study them, (and you study them, you don't look at them), you quickly understand why. Arbus was a brittle and emotionally volatile woman long before taking these haunting images, the product of a privileged upbringing who cut her teeth in ...             Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training)11 reviews Ben Long, Richard Harrington, ...

Misty Dawn, one of his primary and most popular muses, is one such subject; he has photographed her for 25 of her 28 years.

This book offers a nice alternative and it is one of the best overviews of contemporary fine art photography available. Aperture, a respected ...             Invasion 68 Aperture, 2008 In 1968, Josef Koudelka was a 30-year-old acclaimed theater photographer who had never made pictures of a news event. That all changed on the night of August 21, when Warsaw Pact tanks invaded the city of Prague, ending the short-lived political liberalization in Czechoslovakia that came to be known as Prague Spring. Koudelka had returned home the day before from photographing gypsies in Romania. In the midst of the turmoil of the Soviet-led ...             Zalami: Silent Exodus Khaled Hosseini Aperture/UNHCR, 2008 In early 2008, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that an estimated 4.4 million Iraqis had been displaced from their homes as a result of the war.

Each shanty is unfolded in panoptic four-page form (each page a wall of the room); the magic of the layout is in the incongruous edges of the sub-images, which collectively force the reader to interpolate and extrapolate the space between an artificially objective environment. The effect is furthered by the many dead-pan poses of the inhabitants, no doubt dressed their best, whose proud prose ...             The New West: Landscapes Along the Colorado Front Range2 reviews Robert Adams Aperture, 2008 The (old) new west The New West is one of the most significant works of photography in the 20th century, presenting the reality of the western landscape in harsh contrast to the mythology of the other Adams...

This work is a challenge ...             Radiant Identities: Photographs by Jock Sturges29 reviews Aperture, 1994 The early Jock Sturges I first came across this book about ten years ago and when I did I instantly became a Jock Sturges fan. But it wasn't until resonantly that I realized just how powerful and deep his art can be. Visiting an art gallery I was stunned by the detail, contrast and the three dimensional quality of Jock's full sized prints. The images you see in his books might have been taken with a medium format ...             Erwin Olaf Aperture, 2008 "Vermeer Noir" might be an apt description of Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf's disquieting image repertoire. His subjects are posed indoors, immobile, somewhat in reverie, and bathed in nearby window light--but not tranquilly so. An atmosphere of sinister but clinical indifference attends both them and their environments, rendering them into beautiful but dislocated mannequins in catalogue-furnished interiors. All sense of belonging to a place is ...             Martin Parr: Parrworld Aperture, 2008 Martin Parr's vast collections of photography books and postcards are world-renowned. Unbeknownst to many, he is also an obsessive collector of photographic and themed objects.
