Ed Fox II
Ed Fox thought he was the only young man who checked out a woman's feet before her face, and most of the time couldn't meet his models' eyes for fear they'd discern his secret. Then he became the official foot photographer for Leg Show magazine, and learned of the thousands of men just like him and the glorious legacy of foot fetish photographers before him, not least the great Elmer Batters.Since then, Fox has become famed the world over for his sensual photographic style that captures every curve of a woman's body, right down to the tips of her toes. In Ed Fox II he brings us voluptuous new models, arresting locations--many blending the desert landscapes of Southern California with Fox's passion for automobiles--and fantasies mild to extra spicy, all shot in warm, caressing natural light. And, like Glamour From the Ground Up, Ed Fox II comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life.This edition's special Panic Cover is reversible to a realistic-looking academic book to keep the real contents hidden from prying eyes, or even to help you impress an attractive onlooker!
Grant Castner
In July 2019, staff of the New Jersey State Museum visited a cramped and dusty storage locker in Hunterdon County. Inside was a treasure trove of more than one thousand glass plate negatives. Each negative preserved an image of New Jersey at the turn of the 20th century. They once belonged to a Trenton resident who had used the plates as tools for his chosen art form. His name was Grant Castner. His art was photography. Castner's glass plate negatives are a visual record of New Jersey's social and cultural history. His many human subjects are rich and poor, young and old, Black and white. They are at work, at play, at home, and in the community. Castner also documented social change brought about by electricity, engineering, education, industry, and transportation. He captured the excitement of public amusements such as parades and fairs. He recorded the aftermath of floods, fires and other disasters. Castner also had a fondness for the outdoors. He used his camera to reflect on the beauty and tranquility that he found in the natural landscapes of New Jersey. This book presents the collective work of Grant Castner, an amateur artist whose place in New Jersey history was, until now, completely unknown. His photographic negatives forever preserve pinpoint moments in the past. They are time machines to another era. Let this long lost archive transport you on a visual journey into a New Jersey of days gone by.

Lucifer
Lucifer is a collection of influential essays and writings by H. P. Blavatsky, originally published in the late nineteenth century in the Theosophical journal of the same name. Far from the popular misconception of evil, Blavatsky uses the figure of Lucifer-symbolizing light, intellect, and spiritual awakening-as a powerful metaphor for enlightenment and the pursuit of truth.In these writings, Blavatsky explores themes central to Theosophical philosophy, including the nature of consciousness, karma, reincarnation, universal law, and the hidden unity underlying all religions and philosophies. She challenges dogmatic interpretations of theology and materialistic views of science, urging readers to engage in independent thought and deeper metaphysical inquiry.Drawing from ancient scriptures, Eastern and Western mystical traditions, and esoteric symbolism, Lucifer serves as a bold defense of free thought and spiritual knowledge.

Blavatsky draws upon ancient texts, Eastern philosophies, Hermetic teachings, and occult traditions to demonstrate that modern knowledge is incomplete without spiritual insight.This volume explores subjects such as psychic phenomena, magnetism, spiritualism, and the limitations of empirical science. Written with intellectual rigor and bold originality, Isis Unveiled, Volume I invites readers to reconsider accepted beliefs and to seek a deeper understanding of truth beyond conventional boundaries.A landmark work in esoteric literature, this volume remains essential reading for students of metaphysics, occult philosophy, and comparative religion, and stands as a testament to Blavatsky's enduring influence on spiritual and philosophical thought.

For those of the younger generation, who have grown up with the Internet, the iPad and the smartphone, this book will lead you on a fascinating voyage of discovery.

You will hear the scratchy melodies of the old gramophone, the babbled chant of the country auctioneer and the deafening clatter of the threshing machine. You will feel the bumps of the rumble seat ride, the warmth of the fire in the pot-bellied stove and the cold of the hoarfrost crystals in the hayloft.

If this book has accomplished any of the above, then it has achieved its purpose.So, sit back, fasten your seat belt and begin your journey back in time. Bon voyage!
On the Road with on the Road
A photographic accompaniment to On the Road by Jack Kerouac.Robert Frank's The Americans redefined photography in 1959 and inspired Carl Moore to hit the road with Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Like Frank, Moore sought to reveal America to Americans--capturing the landscapes, faces, and fleeting moments that echo Kerouac's metaphorical vision.From Denver, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to a cross-country drive with his son from Santa Fe to New England, Moore retraces Sal Paradise's footsteps with his Nikon in hand. The result is a vivid, contemporary counterpart to Kerouac's masterpiece--where the photographs themselves feel restless, alive, and haunted by the same hunger for the open road.As Jim Sampas notes in his Foreword, "It isn't often that something comes in that excites me as much as this project." These images remind us of the beauty and variety of human experience, the thrill of movement, and the quiet grace of stillness. Paired with passages from On the Road, they invite us to see Kerouac's America anew--and to feel again the irresistible pull of the road.
Exposure

More than simply a static image, a photograph has the power to evoke emotion, revealing both the seen and the unseen.In her latest collection, curator Amber Creswell Bell explores the work of forty contemporary photographers, including Leila Jeffreys, Bill Henson, and Kara Rosenlund. Each artist shares insights into their practice, ranging from the whimsical to the wild, addressing subjects as diverse as the environment, motherhood, and identity. Some point and shoot; others meticulously curate a scene, but they all strive for creative connection with the viewer through this common medium. Exposure captures the essence of modern photography, showcasing bold perspectives, striking landscapes, and intimate portraits that reflect cultural richness and natural beauty.

Ireland
Ireland holds a special place in people's hearts - even for many who haven't been there. To some the appeal is its natural beauty, to others it's the history; to some it's Ireland's lasting folk tradition, to others it even seems to be a mystical place. Ireland: The Emerald Isle presents 150 outstanding photographs celebrating the island's most evocative and beautiful places, whether in nature or man-made, from the miles of near empty beaches to the Mourne Mountains in County Down, from the pretty fishing towns of County Cork to Dublin's elegant Georgian streets. Featuring images from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the book ranges widely across landscapes and history, from rugged cliffs and rolling hills to mysterious stone circles, magnificent cathedrals and ruined abbeys; and from medieval forts and castles to grand Victorian follies and villages abandoned during the Potato Famine. While some images such as the striking basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway may be familiar, others you may know only from Game of Thrones and the Star Wars films but never realized that they, too, were in Ireland. Presented with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Ireland: The Emerald Isle is a stunning collection of images celebrating the island's natural beauty, culture and history.
Ancient Egypt
The extraordinary civilization of ancient Egypt could not have existed without the Nile, which rises in the Ethiopian Highlands and sub-Saharan Africa. In life, the ancient Egyptians were tied to an area of at most a few kilometres either side of the great river. Even in death, the Ancient Egyptians where never far from the river. Many of the most famous archaeological sites - the pyramids at Giza, the Valley of the Kings, the step pyramid at Saqqara, and the royal cult temples at Deir al-Bahri - lie within, beside, or on top of the cliffs created by the immense past flows of the River Nile. Ancient Egypt: A Journey Down the Nile follows the course of the river from south to north, illuminating ancient Egyptian history through the patchwork of temples, tombs and pyramids to either side. The Egyptian state began with unification under southern Egyptian kings around 3100 BC and it started its final decline in the north around the great city of Alexandria, established in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Engaging and illustrated throughout with more than 180 photographs, Ancient Egypt: Journey Down the Nile is a vivid pictorial exploration of 4,000 years of Ancient Egyptian civilization from the river that gave life to the region.

Rock 'n' Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip
The 1967 Sunset Strip exploded with rock culture as giant hand-painted billboards became temporary monuments to music's coming of age--visual celebrations beginning with The Doors that captured the revolutionary spirit of an era. The Sunset Strip, circa 1967. Buffalo Springfield called it right: "There's something happening here...what it is ain't exactly clear." What was happening then is now absolutely clear. Rock 'n' roll and the kids who lived it were coming of age--right there on The Strip. And, as if to define the era, a few independent minds in the music industry posted giant, temporary monuments that said it all. Billboards. Bigger than life. Hand-painted homages to rock. The Doors led the way. It seemed that billboards would chronicle rock forever. In Rock 'n' Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip, author/photographer Robert Landau showcases these signs of the time, a time when rock was the most important music ever recorded, when youth, politics, and art merged to turn counterculture into mainstream culture. Landau was right there, a kid destined to be a professional photographer, shooting his first pictures. Decades later, he rediscovered his Kodachromes, the only extensive collection of photographs that document those iconic billboards. Impassioned, he interviewed the artists, record producers, and designers who shaped those placards, bringing fresh insight to the culture of the day and its lasting impact on the world. He tells it like it was, through the people who lived the music, the time, the energy...and the billboards. A must for every rock lover, pop-art aficionado, and socio-culture freak, Rock 'n' Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip is a coffee-table book to read and reread, view and review, a book with a beginning and, perhaps tragically, an end. Yes, the true rock 'n' roll billboard era ended, but Robert Landau has created a bound museum of its best artwork, a gallery that shows what was happening there. On the Sunset Strip.
Thinking Twice
Photo essays of unsettling beauty, ethics, and perception.Thinking Twice is a provocative photographic meditation on food, beauty, and ethical tension. Over a decade of travel through markets in Asia, Europe, Mexico, and the United States, photographer Phyllis Crowley captured intensely cropped images of meat, fish, and organic matter that hover between abstraction and documentation.Devoid of conventional context, these photographs seduce the eye with sumptuous color, pattern, and texture, only to reveal-upon closer inspection-the raw realities of consumption, mortality, and environmental strain. Essays by critic Zachary Fine and artist-curator Deborah Hesse frame the work within broader conversations about the "ugly sublime," sustainability, and the cultural rituals surrounding food.Neither didactic nor purely aesthetic, Thinking Twice challenges viewers to hold opposing truths at once: attraction and repulsion, beauty and violence, nourishment and loss. The result is a powerful visual experience that asks us to look beyond the plate and reconsider how food reflects our values, cultures, and relationship to the natural world.Published by OctoberWorks and designed by Jeanne Criscola, Thinking Twice embodies the imprint's commitment to intentional, design-forward publishing. It is a meditation on seeing - urging us, as the title suggests, to "think twice" to hold death and beauty, ethics and aesthetics, in our minds at once.

An Extremely Un-Get-Atable Place

Ma簿 Lucas: All Eyes on Me
Taken across 30 years, Lucas' photographs document everyday expressions of creativity by ever-dynamic New York's Afro-American and Latinx youthFor Paris-based photographer Ma簿 Lucas (born 1968), All Eyes On Me is a long-term labor of love. Shot between 1990 and 2010, her pictures capture the hip-hop and street culture of Afro-American and Latinx New York City: from Coney Island and Jones Beach to Harlem and East New York. Those were the years in which young people of color turned against preexisting codes and invented new styles in order to express their identities and their pride artistically. It is as if they were out to supplant the established hip-hop phenomenon--which had become too much about wealth and luxury--with a counterculture of their own. Approaching her subjects with respect, empathy and love, Lucas produces photographs of candid authenticity, grace and deep humanity. She brings out the beauty of a youth scene whose creativity was expressed in school, out of school, on the streets, on the beaches, in nightclubs and more.

Bootsy Holler: Making It
Holler's photographic time capsule of Seattle's music scene captures the early years of Interpol, Fleet Foxes, Death Cab for Cutie, Foo Fighters and moreAs an avid fan of Seattle's music scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s, photographer Bootsy Holler created a remarkable portfolio documenting the little-known bands who later defined a decade in music history. She captured live gigs, band portraits, backstage moments, rapt audiences and more, chronicling the formative years of artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes, Interpol, Modest Mouse, Gossip, Beck, Moby, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Foo Fighters. Says Holler: "I was documenting my life. The musicians, promoters and bouncers were my friends, and I went to see bands I enjoyed and places I could get in for free. I didn't know I was in the middle of something new."With open spine binding and cold glue bright orange thread, this collection of Holler's energetic, raw images, together with her own personal recollections, reflects on the second generation of Seattle's music scene, as the world transitioned from celluloid to digital, grunge to indie.

The book opens with a nod to a truly independent woman, with a foreword from Megan Jasper, CEO of Sub Pop Records.Bootsy Holler was born in Washington in 1969 and moved to Seattle as a young adult. Her editorial and art photography has been featured in Vogue, House & Garden and NPR. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
Lake Verea: Modern Barrag獺n
A diaristic archive of pilgrimages to Luis Barrag獺n's modernist abode In this intimate archive, the contemporary Mexican photographer duo Lake Verea record their pilgrimages, made over the course of nearly two decades, to the house of Mexican architect Luis Barrag獺n (1902-88). As devotees of the architect, the duo began photographing the modernist mecca in 2006, endeavoring to approach as closely as possible to Barrag獺n's spirit. The artists sat in his chairs, opened his closets, listened in silence and kissed in the house's enchanted garden. Modern Barrag獺n compiles the fruits of their reverent labor. The photographs capture the house across a myriad of atmospheric conditions--in daylight, under the light of the full moon, by streetlight and against stormy skies. Flash photography lends the house a spectral quality; rubbed with aluminum sheets, the walls reveal their hidden textures, evoking the hidden memories contained within the home. As a spiritual sequel to the couple's photobook on Anni and Josef Albers, also published by Hatje Cantz, Modern Barrag獺n is a one-of-a-kind yet double-sided look into the hidden facets behind the legendary name. Based in Mexico City, Lake Verea comprises Francisca Rivero-Lake Cortina (born 1973) and Carla Verea Hern獺ndez (born 1978). Their "expanded photography" practice incorporates both analog and digital formats as well as mediums including textiles and performance.
A Singular People
A pictorial view of the Separatist community of Zoar The community of Zoar has been a tourist attraction since it was founded in 1817, due in part to its uncommon experiment in Christian communal living, its German heritage, and its location on the Ohio & Erie Canal. Unlike many 19th-century communal societies, Zoar did not discourage tourism and "gawkers." As a result, there is an unusually rich photographic record of the community and its people as well as many descriptions and comments by writers who wished to share their impressions of the Old World town. Tourists snapped photos of themselves riding on haywagons, boating on Zoar Lake, and walking in the Zoar Separatists' symbolic garden. The Zoarites themselves got into the act as well, taking commercial photos of themselves and their town to be sold as postcards. Fernandez uses many previously unpublished photographs from the Ohio Historical Society's collections and captions them with the words of journalists, diarists, and other visitors. Today a restored village with a ten-museum complex operated by the Ohio Historical Society, Zoar has consciously maintained its German roots. Zoar continues to attract the curious individual, the traveler, the day-tripper, and the magazine and newspaper writers..
Cleveland's Urban Landscape
"Every city has its own textures, its own special relationship to land and water, its own light, its own night. Cleveland's history-haunted, labor-encrusted, smoke-grimed nights is a place as varied in texture as any in America. It echoes in the interior darkness of the camera lens during lonely, leisurely hours as Levy wanders the city. Levy's photos seek realities that can spark some recognition at a subconscious level, a combination of eye and time and device that suddenly, sometimes, generates a new type of seeing."--Douglas Max Utter, Foreword In 1999 Cleveland Plain Dealer photographer Michael S. Levy was given an assignment by his editor to provide images for a feature article about research being conducted by members of Cleveland State University's Center for Sacred Landmarks. Cleveland's Urban Landscape is the product of that assignment. The photographs in this book are an exploration of Cleveland's landscape from mundane objects like fire hydrants and billboards to the magnificent--a sunset over Lake Erie or the steeple of one of the many historic churches scattered across the city. Levy's images are full of life, movement, mystery, sadness, and beauty as he contrasts disparate elements. Through Levy's photographs, we see the history of Cleveland as it changes from one era to another. Cleveland's Urban Landscape will appeal to those interested in photography or Cleveland's heritage.
Drug Wars
Drug Wars: Supply and Demand by Jonathan Alpeyrie is a raw, powerful exploration of the global drug trade, uniquely captured through the lens of one of the world's most acclaimed photojournalists. Known for his immersive approach, Alpeyrie has earned international recognition for documenting conflicts and crises from within, gaining access to worlds few others can. His previous work, including The Shattered Lens (Simon & Schuster, 2013), detailing his captivity during the Syrian Civil War, cemented his place as a leading figure in global photojournalism. What sets Alpeyrie's photography apart is his deep personal immersion in the environments he documents. He doesn't just observe--he becomes part of the story. In Drug Wars: Supply and Demand, this approach allows him to capture the drug trade in a way no one else can. From rural drug production hubs in Latin America to cartel-controlled territories and the streets of the United States, his access and intimate perspective yield extraordinary images. His commitment to telling important, often overlooked stories is evident in every photograph, offering a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the lives of those affected by the drug trade. The book features over 150 evocative images that bring the complexities of the drug war to life. Through his lens, Alpeyrie conveys the human cost, political ramifications, and social devastation of this global crisis. Drug Wars: Supply and Demand presents a visual narrative that is both urgent and unforgettable--one that demands to be seen and understood.
Steven Klein Vogue
"Great fashion photography not only understands the beauty of clothing but also adds a twist that grabs the eye and sparks the imagination. With Steven Klein, you'll give him a dress, and he'll give you a girl with a dress with a robot in a garden. It's clever, conceptual, and ultimately lyrical." --Anna Wintour STEVEN KLEIN: VOGUE is a gorgeous collection of photographs commissioned by Anna Wintour for American Vogue, spanning 2000 to 2019. The book traces the evolution of Klein's visual language over nearly two decades, showcasing work defined by dark sensuality, psychological intensity, and cinematic staging. Klein's fashion photography is instantly recognizable for its bold fusion of glamour, eroticism, and psychological drama. His images push beyond traditional fashion spreads, often resembling film stills in their scale and tension. Alexander McQueen, Bjork, Nicki Minaj, and Karl Lagerfeld make notable appearances, but the book is ultimately anchored by Klein's models--each one commanding the frame as central figures in carefully constructed visual narratives where power, control, and desire unfold. What sets Klein apart is his refusal to idealize--he creates work that seduces and unnerves, inviting viewers into immersive, often transgressive, visual experiences that challenge the conventions of beauty and luxury.This lushly produced, beautiful coffee table book is perfect for browsing, displaying, and gift giving.

Posing new questions about the rela­tions between aesthetics and politics, Gail Day and Steve Edwards consider Sekula's examination of image modes alongside his radical investigations of terraqueous capitalism.

Maya Goded: The Serpent's Trail
A slipcased ecofeminist testimony to the challenges and complexities faced by Mexican women, interwoven with images, spoken accounts, historical archives and philosophical reflectionsPublished with El Mojado Ediciones. Mexican photographer and documentary filmmaker Maya Goded (born 1967) explores wounded territories--from the Atacama Desert to the jungles of Chiapas--where the body of the earth and the bodies of women serve as both stage and witness to historical violence, extractivism and oblivion. Fusing photography, poetry, testimony and essay, The Serpent's Trail emerges from a personal quest, as the photographer explores her maternal lineage that is marked by wars, migrations and abuse, drawing parallels with the experiences of Indigenous women, miners, healers and land defenders. The serpent--an ancestral symbol of transformation and feminine wisdom--serves as the guiding motif of this spiraling narrative, embracing cyclicality in contrast to the linear, patriarchal logic of destructive progress. Featuring three interfolding booklets, the volume is a ritual act of memory, mourning and rebirth--an ecofeminist proposal that reimagines the relationship between humanity and nature from the root, from the feminine, from the serpent.

Mario Testino. Ciao
Widely regarded as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers, Mario Testino is responsible for the creation of emblematic images, transmitting emotion and energy in an open and intimate way. Throughout his four-decade career, Testino has been on a journey beyond the world of fashion capturing Earth's traditions and cultures with unparalleled access and an extraordinarily unique point of view. Peruvian by birth, Testino's intimate connection to Italy found its roots in his Italian heritage, but blossomed when he experienced the country for himself. Discovering Italy was, for Testino, synonymous with discovering his passion for fashion. "Rome was all about the hottest, latest trends and fresh new styling, and I loved the way Italians could shed the latest look for an even newer thing without ever losing their own identity." In Ciao, Testino handpicks his favorite images of Italy, a country that has featured heavily in his life, from his friendships and breathtaking vistas to quintessentially Italian iconic fashion shoots and Italians' ever-evolving allure to their effervescent lifestyle. Featuring three sections, OUT AND ABOUT, IN FASHION, and AT SEA, the result is a highly personal journey across the country through Testino's lens paying homage to Italy, and it's culture as well as a chronicle of 40 years of genre-defining photography.
Peter Lindbergh. Azzedine Ala簿a
Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Ala簿a, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Ala簿a drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body.In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion.Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Ala簿a pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindbergh's reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Ala簿a was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture.Ala簿a became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations.Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Ala簿a's clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty.With contritutions by Fabrice Hergott, director of the Mus矇e d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paolo Roversi, photographer, and Olivier Saillard, fashion historian and director of the Fondation Azzedine Ala簿a, Paris.

Reflections in Black
Originally published in 2000, Reflections in Black was the first single-volume work to collect the images of leading African American photographers--from the daguerreotype to the digital age. Through its sheer power and inherent beauty, Deborah Willis's groundbreaking assemblage of photographs of African American life from 1840 to the present triumphantly celebrated family, endurance, and spirituality over the last two centuries as it upended stereotypes and rewrote American history. Aware that so much has changed since 2000, Willis--a world-renowned photographer, curator, and author--has now created a breathtaking twenty-fifth anniversary edition, juxtaposing hundreds of images that appeared in the original edition with 130 new ones. As the photographic panorama unfolds, we are immersed in hugely moving glimpses of African American life, from the last generation of enslaved people to the urban pioneers of the great migrations of the 1920s, from the rare antebellum daguerreotypes of freemen to the courtly celebrants of the Harlem Renaissance, and from civil rights activists to the postmodern photographic artists of the digital age. Each photograph suggests an astonishing, often spellbinding story. Augustus Washington's mid-nineteenth-century portraits of key abolitionist figures, for example, offer a seemingly calm window into an era known for its violence. A startling suite of J. P. Ball photographs depicts the life, death, and burial of a Black man hanged for murder in the Montana Territory. Documenting a vibrant family life and a nascent Black middle class as well as Black tenant farmers and educators, the book features James VanDerZee's famous shot of Marcus Garvey in a Universal Negro Improvement Association parade; Addison N. Scurlock's dignified portraits of Black intellectuals, artists, and musicians; and John W. Mosley's World War II-era image of a young drum majorette in an Elks parade in Philadelphia. Reflections in Black also includes a stunning array of celebrity images, among them Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes, Gladys Bentley, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, and a veiled Coretta Scott King, now accompanied in this edition by Michelle Obama, the Roots, and Angela Davis. This enhanced volume, with a new foreword from Robin D. G. Kelley and a coda from Kalia Brooks, once again affirms the power of photography to reconfigure our conception of Black life in the African diaspora and American history. Featuring the works of photographers such as Albert Chong, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lorna Simpson, Allison Janae Hamilton, Renee Cox, Carrie Mae Weems, Andre D. Wagner, and Hank Willis Thomas, this new edition is dedicated to the artists who stretch the definition of photography, creating pieces more akin to multimedia and conceptual art. Written and curated during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of the brutal killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade, the images that follow serve as a visual response to these unthinkable experiences as well as to the beauty of life. Exceptionally handsome and historically consequential, Reflections in Black is not only the rare volume that can be given as a gift on any occasion but a work so significant that it has the power to reconfigure the imagination. This anniversary edition demands to be included in every American's library as an essential part of our country's heritage.
