Thames & Hudson Ltd Human.Kind.
Book SynopsisIn this thought-provoking anthology, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has partnered with the Prix Pictet, the world's leading prize for photography and sustainability, to show a different side to humanitarian photography. Co-editors William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca decided to select thirty photographers from the 3,000 or so artists who have been nominated since the award was founded in 2008. Adopting a broad definition of humanitarian photography, they looked for work with a visible humanitarian impulse and attributes such as care, dignity and empathy. The result is a diverse, stimulating and, at times, surprising visual display that is very different from the breaking news' images we often associate with humanitarian action. What sets these photographs apart? An unerring sense of compassion. This compelling collection underlines the power of contemporary photography to move us and inspire positive change in the world.

Running Press,U.S. Making a Spectacle
Book SynopsisFrom 13th century Franciscan monks to Beyoncé in Black is King, Making a Spectacle charts the fascinating ascension of eyeglasses, from an unsightly but useful tool to fashion''s must-have accessory.The power of glasses to convey a range of vivid messages about their wearers have made them into a billion-dollar business that appeals to cool kids and rock stars and those who want to be like them, but the fashionable history of eyeglasses was fraught with anxiety and drama. At the beginning of the 20th century, the assessment in Vogue and Harper''s Bazaar was that spectacles were invariably disfiguring. Invisibility was the best option, and glasses were only to be put on once the lights at the opera went dark.While variations of that glasses-shaming sentiment appeared at regular intervals over the next 100 years or so, eyeglasses continued to evolve into an endless array of shapes, colors, purposes, and personalities. Once sunglasses took off in the 1930s, the magazine editorial made glasses a conspicuous part of the fashion narrative. Eyeglasses went to the ski slopes, the stables, the beach, the Havana hotel. Plastic innovations made a candy-colored rainbow of cat-eyes and starlet styles possible. Suddenly, everyone had the opportunity to look like Jackie O on vacation in Capri.Making a Spectacle traces contemporary high fashion frames back to their origins: the military aviator, the glam cat eye, the nerdly Oxford, the high-tech shield, the fanciful butterfly, the lowly rimless, and other styles all make an appearance. Featuring interviews with influential designers, makers, and purveyors of glasses including Adam Selman, Kerin Rose Gold, and l.a. Eyeworks, Making a Spectacle also takes a look at today''s most cutting edge eyewear, showing the reader the latest and most innovative ways to see and be seen.

Duke University Press Photography after Photography
Book SynopsisIn essays analyzing the photography of luminaries such as Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Susan Meiselas, pioneering feminist art critic Abigail Solomon-Godeau extends her politically engaged and theoretically sophisticated inquiry into the historical and cultural circuits of power as they shape and inform the practice, criticism, and historiography of photography.Trade Review"Solomon-Godeau shines when applying deconstructive feminist analysis to broader questions of representation in visual culture, and the market forces that collude to elevate an artist’s reputation to master status." -- Wendy Vogel * Camera Austria *"With its refusal to separate photography from power and patronage, Abigail Solomon-Godeau's Photography After Photography arrives at an auspicious moment.. . . Bringing a wealth of information to bear on photographic meaning, Solomon-Godeau explores her topics in historical context. In doing so, she demonstrates that the way many photographs are understood today has little to do with the circumstance of their creation, or the manner in which they were originally distributed and viewed." -- Dore Bowen * Art in America *"While Solomon-Godeau’s overarching goal is to offer a feminist critique of the art world — particularly of critical discourse around art — in some of her essays she also discusses topics that fall outside this lens, such as the role of desire in photography and images of torture. In this sense, the anthology reflects the range of Solomon-Godeau’s practice and interest as an art critic and scholar." -- Ela Bittencourt * Hyperallergic *"Solomon-Godeau’s essays are lucid and make for captivating reading. . . . It is fitting for Solomon-Godeau to present a collection that spans such a broad range of topics in a manner that is cohesive, challenging, and attentive to photography’s complex formal and cultural history." -- Will Carroll * ASAP/Journal *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations vii Preface.

Rizzoli International Publications Ann Lowe
Book SynopsisThe definitive illustrated volume on the work and life of Ann Lowe, a consummate couturier who designed lavish evening and bridal gowns for members of America s social registry, a Black woman working hard behind the scenes whose important legacy has remained underappreciated until now.Trade Review"Once in a while, a star burns through fashion’s stratosphere with lavish contribution but little recognition. Such is the case with Ann Lowe, America’s first Black fashion designer. A literary voyage of needle and thread, Ann Lowe: American Couturier reintroduces the paragon of mid-century romanticism into fashion’s orbit. Within its pages, you’ll find a vivid fleet of images that capture the awe of Lowe’s legacy, essays that explore the impact of her craft, and a close-up of the extraordinary efforts taken to preserve her gowns. Whether it’s crafting Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding dress or reimagining the attire of American high society, Lowe’s gift for sartorial storytelling forever changed fashion’s landscape. If it’s a story of unbridled passion in matters of the dress you seek, consider Rizzoli’s long-overdue tribute to this fashion phenomenon your next fall read." —V MAGAZINE"Born in 1898, Lowe sought a career as a dressmaker from a young age amid segregation and racism. She became a dress salon owner, servicing prominent individuals, such as Hollywood actress Olivia de Havilland and Black pianist Elizabeth Mance, along with wealthy legacy families—the Roosevelts, Rockefellers, Whitneys, and DuPonts, to name a few. Lowe’s own legacy is rightfully given homage in “Ann Lowe: American Couturier” for present and future generations to never forget." —ESSENCE"Elizabeth Way has compiled an appreciation of Ann Lowe, the Black designer who made Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress and many other gowns for New York’s upper crust." ~NY TIMES"...the life and career of Ann Lowe, a seamstress and designer who dressed countless notable American families throughout her lengthy career. Lowe was dubbed “society’s best kept secret” as she often received no direct credit for creations, including designing Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress for her marriage to John F. Kennedy. Renewed interest in Black history has led to renewed interest in Lowe." —THE GRIO"Lowe’s career was launched when she went to work as the live-in seamstress for an upper-class Southern family in Tampa, Fla. Her creations offer a window into a world of white privilege, where fairy-tale ballgowns and wedding finery were in high demand. After moving to New York, Lowe maintained a steady list of private clients, including the actress Olivia de Havilland, who wore one of Lowe’s gowns to the 1947 Oscars (Lowe never got a credit). While Lowe’s designs regularly appeared in Vogue and Vanity Fair, her name remained mostly unknown except to wealthy insiders. She was proud of sewing for the members of the Social Register." —WSJ

Te Papa Press Through Shaded Glass
Book SynopsisThe contribution of women to the first century of photography has been overlooked across the world, including in New Zealand. Through superb images and fascinating individual stories, this important book tilts the balance, unearthing a large and hitherto unknown number of women photographers who operated in New Zealand from the 1860s to 1960.Trade ReviewLandfall, reviewed by Mary Macpherson. “A lavishly-illustrated blockbuster of a book that reveals a whole world of women active at every level of photography … At a deeper level, these images … give us part of the history of our country across the centuries. It’s difficult not to be moved by this, and the book deserves to fly high at the next Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.”; Aotearoa New Zealand Review of Books, reviewed by Hamish Coney. “Mitchell’s decade of research has unearthed a wealth of wonderful images created by women in Aotearoa, and provided a powerful narrative that reveals their creators’ lives and motivations. Through Shaded Glass is both a corrective and a celebration, and will no doubt create a legacy in its own right, as a point of departure for future scholarship.”; NZ Booklovers, reviewed by Lyn Potter. “Lissa Mitchell has skilfully and successfully filled a gap in the history of women’s participation in photography in the Western world. She has amply succeeded in her aim of showing that in New Zealand, women from 1860-1960 did have access to photographic equipment and used it in all sorts of ways. … She is a very erudite photography historian but has written Through Shaded Glass in a very engaging and accessible way for the general reader. I found it unputdownable.”; The Post, reviewed by Mark Amery. “Through Shaded Glass impresses in providing a different window on our past than the other photographic history books on my shelves.”; Kete Books, reviewed by Jessica Agoston Cleary. “As one of Aotearoa’s most knowledgeable and experienced photographic historians, there is no one better than Lissa Mitchell to research, distill and re-contextualise the photographic history of our country … It is a whirlwind tour and it is well worth it.”; New Zealand Geographic, reviewed by Catherine Woulfe. “Mitchell’s text validates the various ways women participated in photography … her own mastery is clear on each page.”; Gisborne Herald, review by Wynsley Wrigley of the chapter on Gisborne photographers. “Gloriously illustrated publication … fascinating book.”

Taylor & Francis Photography as Social Transformation
Book SynopsisPhotography as Social Transformation resituates the practices of photography within contemporary sociological thinking. It examines how photography influences and shapes social order in the social media age and offers a methodological framework for studying transformation, revealing the forms the process can take and the settings in which it occurs. Photography and the transformation it effects is conceptualized using actor-network theory, allowing it to be effectively studied in the context of globalization and the rapid spread of mobile devices. Going beyond consideration of the images themselves, Maciej FrÄckowiak analyses the rituals and devices used to take them, the networks in which they circulate, conversations about them and institutional attempts to regulate their content. More than dead paper or a digital file or a visual representation, Photography as Social Transformation shows how photography is a complex social phenomenon, causal and capable of pr

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Photography and Theory
Book SynopsisContemporary Photography and Theory offers an essential overview of some of the key critical debates in fine art photography today. Building on a foundational understanding of photography, it offers an in-depth discussion of five topic areas: identity, landscape and place, the politics of representation, psychoanalysis and the event. Written in an accessible style, it introduces the critical literature relevant to photography that has emerged over recent decades. Moving beyond seminal works by writers such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Susan Sontag, it enables readers to explore an extended canon of theorists including Jacques Lacan, Judith Butler and Giorgio Agamben. The book is illustrated throughout and analyses a range of works by established and emergent artists in order to show how these theoretical concepts are central to understanding contemporary photography. These 15 short essays encourage readers to apply critical thinking to both their own work and that of others.Table of ContentsContents List of IllustrationsAcknowledgements Introduction Part One: Photography and Identity 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Photographing Tutankhamun
Book SynopsisThey are among the most famous and compelling photographs ever made in archaeology: Howard Carter kneeling before the burial shrines of Tutankhamun; life-size statues of the boy king on guard beside a doorway, tantalizingly sealed, in his tomb; or a solid gold coffin still draped with flowers cut more than 3,300 years ago. Yet until now, no study has explored the ways in which photography helped mythologize the tomb of Tutankhamun, nor the role photography played in shaping archaeological methods and interpretations, both in and beyond the field. This book undertakes the first critical analysis of the photographic archive formed during the ten-year clearance of the tomb, and in doing so explores the interface between photography and archaeology at a pivotal time for both. Photographing Tutankhamun foregrounds photography as a material, technical, and social process in early 20th-century archaeology, in order to question how the photograph made and remade ancient Egypt' in the waning agTrade Review'A beautifully written and fascinating account of the photographs and photographic practices related to Tutankhamun. It will be a landmark study in the relationships between archives, photographs, and archaeology.'--J.A. Baird, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK'Photographing Tutankhamun is a remarkable achievement for many different reasons, but it is perhaps this contribution that makes the book stand out. [...] Riggs’s ability to look across social, empirical and theoretical domains and not lose sight of the idiosyncrasies of Tutankhamun offers a valuable case study in recognising the oscillations and contingencies underpinning the work of photographs in archaeological practice.'--Antiquity'A beautifully written and fascinating account of the photographs and photographic practices related to Tutankhamun.
