Oro Editions To Reach the Source
Book SynopsisTo Reach the Source: The Stepwells of India is a photography book about a unique and magnificent architectural form that remains unknown to most people outside (and even within) India. More than just a shaft dug into the earth to fetch water, these are entire buildings that descend several stories below ground; they are spaces to be entered and occupied, serving functional, social, and ritual purposes. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional.They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once, but instead of rising into the sky, they descend below the surface. They create a spatial experience unlike any other, in which one is below ground but remains connected to the sun and sky. Today they lie largely abandoned and overlooked, in various states of preservation or, more often, disrepair. The photographs seek to recreate the striking ambiance that they elicit. The brief text that follows the images (interspersed with a few architectural drawings) provides a necessary minimum of context, ultimately to reinforce the primarily visual nature of the reader's experience, one in which the photographs have priority. The photographs seek to give readers some sense of the meditative process of descending into these beautiful structures, of going away from the surface on which we live, but not being cut off from it, instead directed towards the very source of life.

Oro Editions Prague Revisited
Book SynopsisThis book of over 200 photographs by Bernis and Peter von zur Muehlen covers the sweep of Prague's history from World War II to the Velvet Revolution. The first chapter, illustrated by his mother's black and white snapshots of the city, is an account of Peter's life in Prague as a young boy during the months leading up to the end of World War II and of his family's narrow escape days before the Red Army entered the city. The following chapters describe four visits by Bernis and Peter between 1985 and 1992, an epoch that saw Czechoslovakia's transformation from Communist dictatorship to the restoration of democracy. The images reveal not only a glorious city, but also the many less prominent sites that give Prague its unique charm. Haunting images of the Old Jewish Cemetery remind the reader of the turbulent history of the Jews, nearly exterminated by the Nazis. One chapter traces the evolution of the Lennon Wall, a famous symbol of Prague's long struggle for freedom. Lively accounts of the photographers' travel experiences document a city slowly coming to terms with its own history. An afterword by Ori Z. Soltes, noted lecturer and author of twenty books, illuminates the city's Judaeo-Christian history.

Scott Kelby, the world s #1 best-selling photography technique books author, is back with a totally updated and revised new edition of his bestselling book How Do I Do That In Photoshop? The first edition of this bestselling book presented an entirely new concept in Photoshop books one that s designed from the ground up to get you straight to whatever it is you need to do in Photoshop right now, get your answer fast, and get you back to editing your images in Photoshop. Thanks to Adobe s incredibly popular Creative Cloud Photography plan, which includes Photoshop and Lightroom, photographers are extending the depth and power of Lightroom by jumping over to Photoshop to do all those things Lightroom just can t do (or Lightroom can do, but in Photoshop, it s faster and easier, or the results are just better). Because Photoshop has so much power and depth, sometimes the things you need are well kinda hidden or not really obvious. There will be a lot of times when you need to get something done in Photoshop, and you know Photoshop can do it (because Photoshop can do just about anything), but you have no idea where Adobe hid that feature, or what the secret handshake is to do that thing you need now so you can get back to working on your images. That s why this book was created: to quickly get you to the technique, the shortcut, the setting, or exactly the right thing you need to do right now. Here s how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing, you turn to the chapter where it would be found (Layers, Printing, Fixing Problems, Special Effects, etc.), find the thing you need to do (it s easy, each page covers just one single topic), and Scott tells you exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get back to editing your images fast. This isn t a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed multi-step concepts. This is a book on which button to click, which setting to use, and exactly how and when to use it, so you re never stuck in Photoshop again. This will be your go to book that sits within reach any time you re working in Photoshop, and you are going to love having this type of help right at your fingertips.

HarperCollins Publishers Rewilding
Book SynopsisA hopeful yet practical collection of essays exploring the many opportunities and benefits of rewilding and how to get involved today. Highly illustrated with nature photography tracing landscape change over thousands of years. Rewilding has become the key talking point in the modern conservation movement. But it's commonly misunderstood as a campaign to fill the forests with lynxes, wolves and bears, when in fact the ethos guiding the British rewilding movement is much more nuanced, and much broader in scope. It's also much more complicated, requiring an in-depth understanding of the complexity of regional ecosystems.Naturalist and photographer David Woodfall has spent years canvassing converts actually working in the countryside, meeting the people on the frontline of rewilding and collecting their stories. The result is a passionate chorus of voices from all facets of the movement. More than 50 contributors share stories of successful examples like the Knepp and Alladale estates, ofTrade ReviewPraise for Rewilding‘Very much worth reading’ George Monbiot ‘A series of interesting and reassuring essays about projects small and large which necessarily explains what this important conservation tool is really all about’ Chris Packham ‘If you are fascinated by nature and think you could do more to help, then this may well be the book for you, for you will surely find inspiration in its stories’ BBC Countryfile ‘Superb anthology of moving, informative, poignant and yes, at times, hard-hitting essays’ Scotland: The Big Picture Praise for David Woodfall‘Can a photograph truly be worth a thousand words?

Oxford University Press Inc George Platt Lynes The Daring Eye
Book SynopsisA precocious American youth who entered the orbit of American and British expatriates populating Paris and the South of France in the 1920s, George Platt Lynes went on to become a supremely assured portrait photographer documenting the great figures of literature, painting, opera, and dance of mid-twentieth century. This new biography tells his story in full.Trade ReviewIn 1927, Lynes had met a couple, Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler, eventually a writer and an arts administrator (at the Museum of Modern Art in New York) respectively. .... The following year he joined them in the south of France. The relationship became triangular, though not equilaterally: poor Wescott was somewhat edged to one side, even though the three of them lived together for more than a decade. As Ellenzweig rightly comments, 'these three men designed a way of life that appears as inventively bohemian as the roundelay of London's Bloomsbury Group.' ... Both scholarly and gossipy, this book has a cast of hundreds ... but Ellenzweig marshals his material with a steady hand. * Gregory Woods, Emeritus Professor of Gay & Lesbian Studies, Nottingham Trent University, UK, and author of Homintern: How Gay Culture Liberated the Modern World *This book is rich in details about his life and the world that produced him. It is the sort of book that you can open to a random page and be caught by some detail that will have you racing to Google to learn more... For anybody looking to study or recreate gay life in the mid 20th century, this is a deluxe road map. * Skot Armstrong, ArtilleryMag.com *Ellenzweig spent many years researching his Lynes book, and his energy and enthusiasm for his subject never flag. He is a tireless scholar, but he is also an insightful critic who can do a close read of any of the Lynes photos printed in the book and make you understand them more intimately. I read George Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye slowly because I didn't want it to end. This is a significant and painstaking and immersive book, shining a light on all aspects of a very flawed man who himself was one of the first artists to shine a light on the beauty of the male form in photographs. * Dan Callahan, Out In Print *Ellenzweig's splendid biography shows more thoroughly than ever before the full range of his talent. * Joseph M. Ortiz, The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide *One of the great virtues of Ellenzweig's sweeping book ... is that it's as much cultural history as personal biography. Lynes was able to photograph so many luminaries because he moved in their circles, and his evident talent made him a likely collaborator on many of their artistic projects. Ellenzweig provides in-depth accounts of these figures and projects as they came into Lynes' orbit, from Paul Cadmus' portrait of Lynes and their friends, to [Lincoln] Kirstein's establishment of the New York City Ballet under [George] Balanchine, and to the dazzling premier of Virgil Thomson and Gertrude Stein's opera Four Saints in Three Acts. In this respect The Daring Eye follows the model of Martin Duberman's The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein and Jerry Rosco's Glenway Wescott Personally, two biographies of Lynes' friends that show the extent to which 20th-century art was driven by a transatlantic circle of gay friends and lovers. * Joseph M. Ortiz, Gay & Lesbian Review *Ellenzweig takes on a herculean task of carefully documenting the life of one of the unsung icons of gay imagery as well as that of a master photographer. * Jeffrey Felner, New York Journal of Books *George Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye bursts with detail about painters, sculptors, writers, photographers, performers, patrons and socialites during a thrilling time for art. From the end of World War I into the fifties, the emergence of modernism and expressionism profoundly influenced American and European culture. Allen Ellenzweig brings that world to life alongside George Platt Lyne's artistic brilliance, complex temperament and untamed sensuality. The book is a breathless ride. * Claudia Keenan, BookTrib (booktrib.com) *Ellenzweig gives the great photographer George Platt Lynes his full due in this intimate, expansive, richly detailed biography. Lynes lived a tragically short life but his work and friendships put him at the center of 20th century American history. His portraits of artists and his pioneering work in the male nude both receive here the attention they deserve.The book is an encyclopedia of cultural and social changes before, during, and after World War II, exploring not just photography, but literature, dance, music, fashion, museum life, and sexuality. The huge cast includes Gertrude Stein, Virgil Thomson, Paul Cadmus, Katherine Anne Porter, Cecil Beaton, Lincoln Kirstein, and Alfred Kinsey, as well as Lynes's lovers, Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler. But my favorite figure is George's younger brother, Russell Lynes, the historian, who remained loyal and supportive to his charming, high-energy brother throughout his life * Christopher Bram, author of Father of Frankenstein *This masterly biography is a triumph of comprehensive research and highly sophisticated analysis. Ellenzweig's graceful, nuanced assessments expand our understanding not only of Lynes the individual, but of an entire epoch of cultural history. This is scholarship of the first rank, as well as psychological acuity of remarkable depth. * Martin Duberman, author of The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein *At last! A sweeping biography of George Platt Lynes, whose exquisite fashion photography, portraits of major cultural figures, and male and female nudes have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Drawing on his extensive research in Lynes's intimate correspondence and journals, Ellenzweig has unearthed illuminating new details about the once charmed and ultimately tragic life of this daring mid-century photographer and his influential gay circle. * George Chauncey, DeWitt Clinton Professor of History, Columbia University, and author of Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940 *George Platt Lynes dramatically staged and photographed a cosmopolitan network of friends, collaborators, and lovers during the 1930s and 1940s, revolutionizing such genres as the male nude, dance photography, portraiture, and fashion photography. Allen Ellenzweig's deeply researched and engagingly written biography provides context for the (re)discovery of an influential modern culture-maker. * Tirza Latimer, Professor Emerita, History of Art and Visual Culture, California College of the Arts, San Francisco *Table of ContentsPart One: The Precocious Pup Chapter 1: Past is Prologue-1955 Chapter 2: Imperial Fantasies Chapter 3: The Great Barrington Boy Chapter 4: "Baby George" at the Stein Salon Chapter 5: Missing Miss Stein and Hating Yale Part Two: Three-Cornered Hats Chapter 6: The Triangle Takes Shape Chapter 7: The Hotel Welcome, Jean Cocteau, and the Return to Paris Chapter 8: A New Career Chapter 9: Camera Work Chapter 10: You've Got to Have Friends Chapter 11: Gertrude in Clover Amiably Chapter 12: Twice a Debutante Part Three: Three-Cornered Hats Times Two Chapter 13: The Mural Show and a Threat of Marriage Chapter 14: A Death in the Family Chapter 15: Four Saints and a ménage-à-trois Chapter 16: 50 Photographs and a Family Wedding without Pictures Chapter 17: A Country House; Cocteau in Coney Island; The Sleepwalker Chapter 18: A Return to Paris; Bachelor and PaJaMa Parties Part Four: The Height of Fashion Chapter 19: Models, Myths, 640 Madison Avenue Chapter 20: The Affair Beaton and a Conversation Piece Chapter 21: An Anthology of Faces at Pierre Matisse Part Five: Battles on the Homefront Chapter 22: The War Comes Home Chapter 23: Breaking Away Chapter 24: Fortune Tellers and Paying Debts Chapter 25: "Finis" Part Six: Paradise Lost Chapter 26: Exiles in Paradise Chapter 27: Vogue-vagueness Chapter 28: Dr. Kinsey, E.M.
