    Book SynopsisThis project focuses on the diversity and the dignity of the Cuban youth. The photographs are borne from the photographer's journeys to Cuba over the last twenty-five years.

The book offers an extensive tour of the streets of Havana and Holguín; the lands and the sugar cane fields of Matanzas and Mayabeque; the Pride March and the May Day parade; the foyers and classrooms of the University of Lausanne; the hospitals, the churches, and factories; and, for the first time in history, the popular neighborhoods, the beach and the homes of young Cubans.

  • Wuhan before Wuhan

    Promopress Wuhan before Wuhan

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWuhan before Wuhan captures a transformation process, both personal and photographic, of the Spanish photographer Jorquera, who reached in 2007 this Chinese city, at that time completely unknow for the West. He chose Wuhan, located in the country's hinterland, far from the megacities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, in order to settle there and create bonds, to focus on a more doable place, nestle into the context. But the lack of referents and communication led him to feel isolated, and isolation led to disorientation. Thus Jorquera began to undertake a more introspective odyssey, a journey inwards, where Wuhan represents something very basic yet universal: the quest for identity. AUTHOR: Born in Pontevedra (Spain) in 1972, Jorquera is one of the great names in young contemporary Spanish photography. A founding member of the Nophoto collective and editor of various publications, his professional work is focused on China since 2002. His work Wuhan before Wuhan, his most ambitious to date, comes after nine years living in the city. The photographic essay is organised into interior and exterior atmospheres, into moods that shape an autobiographical story that is simultaneously a quest and a pathway of interpretation. His intention was to break through where there are no recognisable coordinates or familiar parameters, and throughout the process he managed to settle, to build himself. To inhabit oddness. 215 images

  • Komshe Belgradestreets

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAndy Townend was educated, lived and worked in London for many years. In February 2011, he moved from Sydney to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, with his Spanish wife, Fatima, and their young son, Alejandro. He has been working in the city ever since. Andy's original goal for belgradestreets was to capture the essence of the city with a series of weekly photographs, street by street. Soon enough, the idea took on a life of its own and the photos became a journal. It became not only a record of life in Belgrade, but also a unique perspective of someone still finding their way through the complexities and colour of a big city that is completely new to them. He set out to capture images which tell the story of how Belgrade's streets create the spirit of the city and its fascinating and diverse people. In short, Belgrade had captured Andy's heart. He discovered a unique city not yet overrun by global culture and repetitive brands. Every street in Belgrade, however rundown, overflows with life, colour, history and character. They are the streets of a city full of life, determination, memories and hopes for the future. It is a friendly city which throws its arms open, enthusiastically welcoming visitors into its embrace. Belgraders have seen hard times and yet in spite of this, possibly as a result of it, take life as it comes, devoting much of their passion to the enjoyment of life. A city that has been through so much cannot remain reserved, living its life behind closed doors, instead life pours out onto the streets. Photography is Andy's passion and he strives to capture places and moments to record a sense of a particular time or a specific feeling. His work on belgradestreets is held together by the same blend of contradictory emotions that bind Belgrade together as a city. There is a deep melancholy to some images but even at their most intense they evoke the humour and light of the city. This is belgradestreets through Andy's eye.

    Book SynopsisThe stunning photographs in this book are not only an anthropological study on the types of work done all over the world and the different societies which undertake them, but are also a real look at work that is still carried out by manual labour, usually away from the Western World. This fascinating collection reveals the intricacies of these jobs and the people who perform them, looking in detail at farmers, tailors, mechanics and a huge number of other industries where the physical work of men and women create communities who pride themselves on ingenuity and creativity. People at Work is a captivating look at the socioeconomic development of different communities around the world and how they are fundamentally shaped by the type of work they perform. The evolution of technology in the modern age has meant that most job titles have become ambiguous and the notion of work in the traditional sense has been lost to a certain extent. This beautiful volume looks at the hands-on approach to work in an innovative way.

    White Star Shangri-La: Along the Tea Road to Lhasa

    Book SynopsisThe legendary Chamagudao, the Tea-Horse Road, winds through dizzying mountain passes, across famed rivers like the Mekong and the Yangtze and past monasteries and meadows in a circuitous route from Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces in western China to the Tibetan capital city of Lhasa. Actually a network of roads, trails and highways, rather than one distinct route, the Chamagudao once stretched for almost 1,400 miles (2350 km) – a conduit along which the historic trade between the mighty Chinese Empire and the nomadic Tibetans linked remote villages and ethnic groups. The Chinese military needed strong horses for their wars against Mongol invaders from the north, and the fiercely religious Tibetans desired tea both for sacred rituals and sustenance. Following the Chamagudao, this book is a rare and enchanting look into the changing world of Tibet – both ancient and modern, sacred and secular, the rarefied and the gritty – before the legends and mysteries of the Tea-Horse Road disappear into the Tibetan mist.

  • David Shama: Do Not Feed Alligators

    Damiani David Shama: Do Not Feed Alligators

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisDavid Shama’s first monograph Do Not Feed Alligators takes us on an existential journey into the decayed post-capitalist topography of a largely forgotten America– one where he presents youth engaged in achingly commonplace activities. There is an overarching sense in all of these pictures that his subjects are the angel-headed hipsters of a generation that has somehow been left behind, traversing what is left of a tragic, broken landscape–their thousand-yard stares seeking Elysian fields glinting seductively in the setting sun of their minds, far beyond the edge of the world. Shama employs Americana to map a narrative of existence among the flotsam and jetsam of society, where abandoned cars, vacated diners and dive motels act as the leitmotif of a journey into being and nothingness. While there are flashes of naturalistic beauty in the way in which his young muses are caught in the eye of his lens, there is no sentimentality, rather every frame contains a haunted, limbo-esque atmosphere. These figures, we are always aware, count their number among the beautiful and the damned. Ultimately, Do Not Feed Alligators seeks to suggest that we are all on a metaphorical road to nowhere– an apocalyptic landscape of the soul that is both beautiful in its mundane temporality, and boundless in its potential for quietly enticing mythology. Frecnh: La première monographie de David Shama, Do Not Feed Alligators, nous entraîne dans un voyage existentiel à travers la topographie post-capitaliste délabrée d'une Amérique largement oubliée - une Amérique où il présente de jeunes gens engagés dans des activités extrêmement banales. Il y a un sentiment général dans toutes ces images que ses sujets sont les anges branchés d'une génération qui a été en quelque sorte laissée pour compte, traversant ce qui reste d'un paysage tragique et brisé - leurs regards lointains scrutent les champs élyséens qui scintillent séduisants dans le soleil couchant de leurs esprit, bien au-delà des frontières du monde. Shama utilise l'Americana pour cartographier un récit sur l'existence au sein d’une société perdue, où les voitures délaissés, les restaurants abandonnés et les motels bon marchés sont le leitmotiv d'un voyage dans l'existence et le néant. S'il y a des éclairs de beauté naturaliste dans la façon dont ses jeunes muses sont prises dans l'œil de son objectif, il n'y a pas de sentimentalité, mais plutôt une atmosphère hantée et limbesque. Ces personnages, nous en sommes toujours conscients, comptent parmi les beaux et les damnés. En fin de compte, Do Not Feed Alligators cherche à suggérer que nous sommes tous sur un chemin métaphorique vers nulle part - un paysage apocalyptique de l'âme qui est à la fois beau dans sa temporalité mondaine et illimité dans son potentiel pour séduire tranquillement par sa mythologie. Spanish: Spanish: Un viaje hacia la América olvidada es la nueva propuesta de David Shama, un fotógrafo suizo que se entrega de lleno a cada trabajo que realiza. Do Not Feed Alligators es el primer libro monográfico que publica, una verdadera experiencia emocional para el espectador. Coches abandonados, restaurantes sin comensales y moteles destartalados constituyen el paisaje decadente de una sociedad postcapitalista. En medio de una rutina gris, jóvenes que conservan aún la belleza de los que creen en sus sueños. La temporalidad nos atrapa en un camino hacia la nada y Shama presenta esta realidad embrujada para transportarnos al espacio sin límites de la mente humana. David Shama es más conocido por su trabajo en el mundo de la moda, pero des del 2005 no ha parado de fotografiar la vida en su expresión más espontánea y natural. El artista parece tener una capacidad innata para hallar belleza en lo ordinario, en lo raído, y cargar de emoción cada una de sus fotografías; quizá por ello se ha hecho un nombre en el mundo del fotoperiodismo, ha expuesto en varias galerías y publicado en distintas revistas. Uno de sus particulares proyectos en busca de la espontaneidad ha consistido en crear series fotográficas a partir de rutas de una semana con chicas a las que acababa de conocer. En ellas, el viaje y el descubrimiento de nuevos paisajes iba acompañado del viaje simultáneo hacia el mundo interior de las modelos.Cada una de las imágenes de Shama es el reflejo de su propia fascinación por lo auténtico, un lenguaje visual sin pretensiones capaz de conmover a cualquiera. Ahora, el fotógrafo nos seduce con Do Not Feed Alligators, un relato acerca la existencia humana desde una veracidad y una cotidianidad estremecedoras.Trade Review'Bringing only his camera and a few friends along for the ride, the photographer embraces true American freedom.' - Charles Caesar, Office Magazine

    Book SynopsisThis book is the fruit of twelve years' study of the rituals performed by ethnic-Igbo Nigerians living in Italy. It is first and foremost a journey through the customs, rites, and ceremonies carried out in makeshift places of worship created by men and women who gather together on abandoned football pitches or in hangars. Since human vicissitudes have led to many of these rites no longer being performed in Africa, this research also tells us much about the role of memory and the importance of what once was; these rituals have now become part of our postmodern culture. The desire to reproduce an event as it was experienced in its place of origin is an unavoidable instinct that tends to build an elementary form of transnationality. These Nigerians thus turn into "healthy bearers" of a particular culture in their relations with the host population or with their compatriots, who today often seem cut off from their roots. It is ritual that makes a place sacred: the Nigerian community performs its rituals in a particularly run-down environment, but man s action turns it into a place of purity. This sense of sacredness pervades the photographs of Aniello Barone, where the darkness of the night is lit up by a "brightness" that seems to emanate from the soul of succour. The observer, the witness to the rite, man, the camera, and the actors end up as part of the same symbolic world.

    Book SynopsisGiada Ripa’s photos form an itinerary of landscapes traversing Italy, North to South, focusing on five regions: Friuli, Lombardy, Tuscany, Abruzzo, and Sicily. This account is not limited to a photographic album; rather, it calls upon champions from each area who, through engaging interviews, describe the positive impact on its territory of the commitment of an important local business. Concrete examples of this cooperation are the environmental revival carried out in the Prealpi Giulie Nature Reserve in Friuli, the conservation of local species of flowers carried out with the cooperation of the Botanical Gardens in Palermo, and stretches of land made available and leased free of charge. Thus, The Thin Line represents a hope, but also an awareness of the territory and of those who not only inhabit it now, but will come to inhabit it in the future. Text in English and Italian

After documenting the charms of Parisian brasserie culture last year, photographer Henk van Cauwenbergh now captures the essence of London's buzzing clubscene and the city's most iconic nightlife venues.

    Book SynopsisThis love letter in photographs to the unique beauty and mystery of Venice is an evocative compilation of vintage photographs, prints, and ephemera. It is a tactile ode to the sensuality of the city, filled to the brim with all manner of Venetian memorabilia: 19th century photographs, engravings, hand-coloured magic lantern slides, vintage postcards, old luggage labels, keys from long-lost luxury hotels, golden ducats from the 18th century, Carnival ball invitations. With gilt-edged pages and antique Venetian lettering, it is not a travel or walking guide, but an atmospheric pilgrimage that pays homage to this ever-fascinating city. Serge Simonart’s engaging commentary on Venetian history and culture introduces each subject with affection and insight. "Every day, a nervous traveller visiting the City of Doges for the first time asks the best way to get to their hotel. ‘The shortest or the most beautiful?’, I once heard the concierge at Hotel Des Bains ask. The tourist who opted for the most beautiful route is still wandering around the city. This is a unique photobook in which to wander and lose oneself.” - Serge Simonart
