The Forms of Silence
Sam Lee (also known as Sam L. Street) is a contemporary street photographer based in Amsterdam. His work captures the quiet poetry of everyday life-fleeting, unguarded moments found both in the streets of his hometown and while traveling through other cities. In his new book, The Forms of Silence: Street Photography, Sam continues his search for rare moments when the ordinary transforms into something quietly profound. The project began with a small camera and long walks through city streets-capturing fleeting instances where light and shadow converse.In 2024, one of his photographs was selected for Tribute to Saul Leiter: Early Color at Belgrade Photo Month. The following year, he received the Silver Award in the international reFocus Awards for abstract street photography, and his work appeared alongside Tatsuo Suzuki in Street Photography France (Edition 11, 2025).Author of Street Level: Poems from the Street (2023) and a member of Street Photography France, Sam lectures Theology of Migration at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where he earned a PhD in theology. He also holds a Master's degree in Development Sociology from Leiden University, specializing in Japanese society, culture, religion, and migration.As a sociologist and theologian, Sam's professional life often unfolds at the intersection of human vulnerability and resilience. Street and urban photography became a refuge from this intensity-offering moments of stillness, quiet observation, and unexpected beauty. Drawn to the subtle transformations of the city-rain turning streets into living paintings, fallen leaves scattering like soft gestures of affection-this book is not presented as a declaration of mastery, but as a record of a search: a personal attempt to listen for stillness in a world that rarely stops shouting.
Freshwater
From the bestselling author and photographer of Earth from Above, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, comes Freshwater, a stunning photography book that unveils the secrets of an invisible world, where every freshwater river, lake, and stream has a story to tell Earth from Above author and photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand is back with another heartfelt call to save our planet--only this time, he is raising awareness for the freshwater that makes up the a large amount of Earth's surface. With biophysicist, naturalist, and writer Bill Fran癟ois working alongside him, the duo explore the world through the lens of our freshwater systems, a fundamental yet largely overlooked element essential for life on Earth. Filled with Arthus-Bertrand's classic aerial photography that has sold over 2 million copies, Freshwater demonstrates freshwater's creation at the high mountain tops of ice-cold glaciers to its flow through Mexican cenotes, Balkan caves, the American Great Lakes, the Parisian Seine, and more. This gorgeous coffee table book not only shows off Earth's beauty, but also explores we are destroying it. Due to overfishing, pollutants, mismanagement, climate change, and other largely human-made issues, we are ridding the world of an important resource. However, through sustainable, global action, we can bring back the biodiversity in our waterways, allowing plant, animal, and human life to flourish.
The Marilyn Monroe Century
The Marilyn Monroe Century is a lavishly produced tribute to Marilyn Monroe on her 100th birthday, documenting her transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe through never-before-seen photographs and diary entries by Bernard of Hollywood―and a lenticular cover that brings an iconic moment to life, showing Monroe in motion. Published to commemorate Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday on June 1, 2026, The Marilyn Monroe Century is a visual biography unlike any other―a deeply personal journey through the life of the world's most enduring icon. Featuring rare photographs by Bruno Bernard, also known as Bernard of Hollywood, that have never been publicly released, the book traces the emotional and artistic evolution of Norma Jeane Mortenson into Marilyn Monroe. More than a collection of photographs, The Marilyn Monroe Century unfolds as a cinematic narrative. Bernard was the only photographer who witnessed and helped shape the full arc of Norma Jeane's metamorphosis into Marilyn Monroe. Authors Joshua John Miller, Bernard's grandson, and Mark A. Fortin open Bernard's archive for the first time to reveal the story of a lost friendship, of the appeal of fame and the drive to create the everlasting image of this American Dream. In 1999, The Museum of Modern Art declared Bernard's legendary photograph Marilyn in White―capturing Monroe on the Twentieth Century Fox backlot as her white dress billowed above a subway grate―the symbol of the century. This single image defined 1950s Hollywood glamour and continues to echo across pop culture in songs, films, artwork, and more today. Appearing inset on this book's beautiful clothbound cover, a lenticular print recreates this famous moment―the sudden lift of Monroe's skirt, which shifts as the book is tilted up and down. Bernard was not simply the creator of this iconic image; his role in Marilyn's life was far more profound. A bond forged early in her career sparked an intimate dialogue between a young woman discovering herself and the photographer who recognized her potential long before the world did. His photographs and diary entries reveal a Marilyn rarely seen: playful, thoughtful, ambitious, and fully aware of the persona she was creating for herself. Joshua John Miller and Mark A. Fortin tell the family story behind the myth of Marilyn, through Bernard's personal diaries and previously unpublished correspondence, as well as memories and personal perspectives. They chronicle the complex friendship between two outsiders who found solace in one another. Personal writings from Bernard, commentary from contemporary Hollywood voices, including Academy Award-winning director Sean Baker, and a foreword by actress, activist, and filmmaker Rose McGowan bring new emotional context to Marilyn's journey, presenting the woman behind the icon in an unprecedented way.
Mutiny
Mutiny is an exploration of the growing economic divide in the United Kingdom, highlighting the social and economic fractures that challenge the idea of a "united" United Kingdom.In 2017 photographer Merlin Daleman embarked on a journey through the economic North of the UK. Originally from the West Midlands, Daleman has lived in the Netherlands for most of his adult life. Driven by curiosity to understand the divisions in the UK made evident in the 2016 referendum, he returned to photograph the previously familiar with the eyes of an outsider. Daleman visited over 60 towns and cities from Aberdeen to Bangor, Blackpool to Belfast, and from Fife to Skegness. The photographs give the impression of Daleman as an observer, moving quickly and unobtrusively on foot through the streets. The images show the urban infrastructure of boarded-up shopfronts and rainy streets, canals and bright seafront businesses. The people captured as Daleman passes through are often shown demonstrating their humor, warmth, fortitude and community.The book's essay by journalist Niels Posthumus draws upon an interview with Philip McCann, an economic geographer at the University of Manchester, and states that hardly any other European country experiences such a stark geographical divide between rich and poor as the UK. The economy of London--where national policy is formed--is larger than the economies of the next fourteen largest British cities combined. A sense of disparity and disenfranchisement felt by many in the economic North is confirmed by economics. It is against this backdrop that the Leave campaign thrived and many staged a 'mutiny'.
Fred Herzog: A Color Legacy
Previously unseen imagery from the archives of a pioneering figure in color photographyFred Herzog was a master of color photography. His iconic Kodachrome street shots from the 1950s and 1960s capture urban life in warm red-orange tones, offering precise observations of people and city movements. Poetic, witty and always respectful, his images create an intimate atmosphere.After moving to Vancouver in 1953, Herzog built a vibrant visual tribute to the city. He also traveled to the US, Barbados, Cura癟ao, Guatemala and Mexico, his Leica always in hand. In an era dominated by black-and-white photography, Herzog's use of color was groundbreaking. His bestseller Modern Color remains celebrated worldwide. Now, newly released photographs from his archive, managed by Equinox Gallery, continue his legacy, offering fresh insight into his unique perspective. These images not only preserve Herzog's vision but also reaffirm his place as a pioneer of modern color photography.Fred Herzog (1930-2019) arrived in Vancouver from Germany in 1953. Professionally employed as a medical photographer, he spent his evenings and weekends photographing the city and its inhabitants in vibrant color. Though he was working prolifically from the 1950s, Herzog was relatively unknown until a major retrospective at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2007 brought his work to a wider public. Digital inkjet printing enabled Herzog to finally make satisfactory prints from his slides and exhibit his important early color street photography.

The Fsa/Owi Photographers and the American Railroad
Though Jack Delano's work as a photographer for the FSA/OWI is well regarded, the extensive and diverse documentation of American railroads by the other photographers of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), along with their successors from the Office of War Information (OWI), is often overlooked. The FSA/OWI Photographers and the American Railroad brings together significant contributions from FSA/OWI photographers including Delano, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and seven others, who captured the essence of American railroading between 1935 and 1943. Featuring profiles of each photographer, little-known but excellent photographic sequences from across the United States, from narrow-gauge railroads in Colorado and Nevada's Virginia and Truckee Railroad to New York's vanished Pennsylvania Station and Washington, DC's Union Station, The FSA/OWI Photographers and the American Railroad shines a spotlight on this exceptional collection of railroad imagery from the 1930s and 1940s for a wider audience.

Same Sun Same Moon
This elegant collaboration pairs Michael Kenna's luminous black-and-white landscapes with Pico Iyer's contemplative prose, tracing the parallels of two lives lived in motion. Though they didn't meet until they were both in their sixties, photographer Michael Kenna and writer Pico Iyer had been unknowingly following similar paths for decades. Both were born in England, studied near Oxford in the 1970s, moved to the U.S. West Coast, and fell in love with Japan.This book brings their work together in a profoundly personal collaboration: more than sixty of Kenna's prints, each accompanied by an essay both from Iyer and Kenna himself. Kenna's work--minimalist, often made in long exposure--captures fleeting moments of calm and clarity: a fog-bound canal in Venice, a deserted jetty in Mallorca, a line of trees dissolving into snow in Hokkaido.Spanning fifty years and five continents, these photographs offer meditations shaped by light, shadow, and quiet transformation. In prose that mirrors the restraint and depth of the images, Iyer writes about travel, childhood, coincidence, and the invisible threads that connect us.Beautifully printed and designed for slow reading and close looking, Same Sun Same Moon is a book for art lovers, writers, travelers, and anyone drawn to the subtle interplay of image and word, solitude and connection.
Near Dark
Photographed in London, Near Dark ventures into a mysterious territory, reflecting a less harmonious city mood, a fever dream of anxiety and unpredictability. London is just as alluring as ever but now everyone is taking shelter, keeping out of sight. Photographed in the hours just before sunrise or just after sundown. Very detailed and shot in super high resolution composite format, the photos explore decaying modernism, post industrial landscapes, council estates in a fugue state of sleep and serenity, monumental London landmarks wreathed in a painterly haze. The images have been made over the last ten years during which London has experienced Olympic euphoria through to pandemic and chaotic government policies. The emphasis is on mood and an attitude amassed over 40 years of picturing London.

Oasis
At the beginning of 1994 Oasis were unknown, though signed to Creation Records.

Josef Koudelka: Diaries
A rare glimpse into the mind and artistic process of one of the world's greatest photographers.Distilled from sixty-nine journals kept over the course of fifty-plus years, Josef Koudelka: Diaries offers a look inside the mind and artistic process of the iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for a life in exile and legendary projects on the Roma, the 1968 Soviet-led invasion in Prague, and the devastating impact humans have on the landscape. Facsimile pages from the diaries, along with images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. As curator Tom獺s Pospěch writes, "Koudelka's diaries are a 'cookbook' of classic photography. He associated with the most renowned photographers. His notes sum up his rich experience, including with the now-vanishing technology of analog black-and-white photography. His remarks, quips, and stories reappear, just as he repeatedly made resolutions, affirmed the rules he had adopted, and recalled earlier events and dreams." Diaries is a perfect companion to Josef Koudelka: Next (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris.
