Mont St Michel
Michael Kenna
Nazraeli Press, 2007
The small tidal island of Mont St Michel is situated just off the Normandy coast, connected to the mainland by a single causeway. Its abbey rises like a mirage, high above the sea, on this craggy, rocky perch. It is a spectacular sight, and one that Kenna has been drawn to many times over the years. By day, the island - a popular tourist destination - is alive with cars, buses, people, noise. It ...

This stunning, large-format exhibition catalog from Gursky's recent solo show in Munich is made up of works mostly created since his Museum of Modern Art show in 2001. Gursky's photos exploit the visual codes of a globalized world. They combine collective memories into rhythmic images that appear familiar and ...

Beautiful documentry
I just purchased this book for a friend as I have done in the past. It is a beautiful record of a girls' life that is not glamourous nor sentimental. The prints from the book are wonderful as I have seen them for myself in Chicago. For anyone wanting something a little different, this is a ...

Zen in Photography
+ Chile's best photographer
Sergio Larrain is a great photographer, something you can discover on the pages of this book. He is not only someone who takes shots. He is a person who can capture the spirit of the place, the mood of the people, the unseen of what people see without seeing everyday. London 58-59 is a beautiful ...

Paris 1 review
Steidl, 2008
Delightful with Flawed Format
I am never happy with photos that have one edge corresponding with the spine or that extend partially onto a facing page. Too much of the information is lost as the facing pages curve toward the spine.
This delightful ensemble of work would, I think, be better presented in a format so that all ...

Bert Teunissen: Domestic Landscapes1 review
Saskia Asser
Aperture, 2007
It's all about the light.
This is an exceptional book, showcasing the many skills of the photographer, Bert Teunissen. It's as if he's conducted an archeological dig of Europe and uncovered some of the most priceless domestic images ever recorded. Every one has it's own majesty and stillness. I felt the cold that pervaded ...

Eugène Atget's Trees: Newly Discovered Photographs from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France1 review
Sylvie Aubenas
D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003
Beautiful Atget Book
This extraordinary book should be of interest to Atget fans for several reasons that are not apparent from the description offered. The plates are hand tipped, and the reproductions are splendid, capturing the atmosphere of Atget's prints. The book is listed as hardcover, but the binding is a ...
