Ditch: Montauk, New York, 11954
Nat Ward's timeless photographs of Montauk's most famous beach, Ditch Plains, tell the naked, unedited stories of who we are when the sand is a stage: sensual beings, social creatures, dramatic actors, those who want and wish to be wanted, those who look, and those who wish to be looked at. Featuring forty-nine panoramic photographs, Ditch: Montauk, New York, 11954 revels in a place where pleasure is paramount, divisions disappear, and everyone is welcome to crowd in together on the sand and stare, however impolite it may be. Legendary musician Rufus Wainwright and his husband J繹rn Weisbrodt as well as writer Wayne Koestenbaum contribute heartfelt essays. Stumbling down a makeshift path through a sand cliff in 2018, Ward found the crowded, raucous reality of Ditch Plains, Montauk's most famous surf beach. It's a place where families, surfers, retirees, artists and writers, social media influencers, contractors, landscapers, celebrities, and day traders all crush together on the rocky shore for a day. This books brings to light the high/low culture on a beach known for being a low-key celebrity hideout. Emblematic of a laid back fishing village that became swanky. It is a place where politics are more unseemly than naked flesh, where human pleasure is sought out in public view. Struck by this libertine opposition to antagonistic norms, Ward photographed the denizens of Ditch every day for four summers. In the process, Ward became a fully-fledged member of the eclectic tribe: a half-naked, long-haired character with a clown camera that no one could miss. The photographs in DITCH: MONTAUK, NY 11954 navigate the trickier engagements of looking and being looked at: the epic sweep of multiple dramas playing out across the sand, the confrontations, the seductions, the freedom to be a body amongst other bodies splayed in public, the hints at desire and reticence, the skin, the sun, the heat, the salt, the slippages of masculinity and femininity performed, the lounging in a way that purposefully conceals or reveals, the unexpected and clarion gestures of children, the futility in the drive to hold on to youthful appearance, and the inevitable process of aging toward an entropic end. Ward's panoramas are inspired by the visual energy of American photographic masters Helen Levitt, Weegee, and Lisette Model, along with Italian Neorealist standouts like Vittorio de Sica's The Bicycle Thieves and Rossellini's Rome, Open City. Legendary musician, queer icon, and long-time Montauk resident Rufus Wainwright contributes an introduction in collaboration with his husband, Jorn Weisbrodt, that provides insight into the history of Montauk and delves into the intimate, social, and psychological realities of the beach as featured in Ward's panoramic efforts. And a signal afterword by renowned poet, iconoclast, and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum parses the visceral, sensual pleasure to be found in these images while also leaning into the idea that pleasure of this sort must serve as an inspiration toward a radical departure from the monomania and divisive strife of everyday life.
Thank You for Playing with Me
- An intimate look at female beauty, photographed in a self-loving, powerful and playful gesture, revealing the inner-life and confidence of Enam and Vanessa, two women that Yolanda met thanks to photography and her invitation to portray the two of them over a few years around the UK- Soft and beautiful colors, with all photographs captured on Kodak Portra film- Yoland Y. Liou is an upcoming London-based photographer with energy and an incredible hard-working attitude that'll certainly take her farShot over three years from 2019 to 2022, Thank You For Playing With Me by Yolanda Y. Liou is an intimate look at two plus-size models, Enam Ewura Adjoa Asiama and Vanessa Russell. Liou first came across Asiama's Instagram in 2019 and was blown away by her confidence and charisma. It was the type of confidence that Liou struggled to have about her own body due to her upbringing in Taiwan. "Growing up in Taiwan, I was consistently exposed to the relentless beauty standards that prioritised being skinny... This obsession led me to believe that I was never beautiful enough, and consequently, I felt unworthy of love. I constantly sought ways to conform, believing that only then would I be accepted and appreciated." Liou's main aim with this photo book is to help people embrace their individuality.
Lucky / Udachny: Hanne Van Assche
- A glimpse into this special diamond mining village in the far East of Russia, beautifully documented by Hanne Van Assche- Portraits of locals including young children, mothers, families and strangers on the street shown in a serene and still way among the snowy backdrops and old-fashioned interiorsLUCKY / Udachny by Hanne Van Assche documents a small mining town in the far East of Russia called Udachny - a remote region captured in the icy grip of winter throughout most of the year. Few people choose to live here, but those who do are proud citizens. Yakutia is known as the treasury of Russia. It is one of the world's richest regions in natural resources. According to a Siberian legend, God once spilled a bag of earthly treasures over this part of the country. A thick layer of permafrost covers large reserves of coal, gas, gold and diamonds. Despite the barren climate most of the year, the heart of the people remains warm. The hospitality and optimism of the inhabitants soothes the harsh climate. It is they who turn the scenery of a frozen and isolated world, defined by extraordinary contrasts, into a vibrant and colorful community.
Thank You Bye
- A unique and intimate, behind-the-scenes, first hand testimony of the fashion world viewed from the eyes of a fashion model- A index of terminology used in the modeling industry- A visual narrative and diary- Contemporary snap-shot photography"THANK YOU BYE was born out of a need to put down somewhere what I have experienced over the last five years. Although it gives the impression of a veil being lifted, it is simply a record of my personal experience. The intention, through these hundreds of photos, is to transcribe the absurd, crazy and little-known world of modelling, by means of an unpublished souvenir album of my time spent in fashion. The result is THANK YOU BYE, which owes its name to the phrase uttered by casting directors every time you walk in front of them. It recounts my moments of sadness, my anxieties, my unease, my questions, but also our laughter, our travels, our togetherness, our mutual support. Five years during which I fought not to lose myself. Thrown at the age of 18 at a speed I found hard to manage into a dimension that was not my own, I embrace all the models who 'pose' in this book and who, without realising it, helped me to escape. What you hold in your hands is none other than the last chance to prove that I was still worth something. When you turn the last page, you'll know that I've resigned and can finally say that I'm happy." - Cl矇mentine Balcaen

Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum
A new collection of photographs by Diane Arbus illuminates her singular ability to enter private worlds. Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum brings together forty-four photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971. Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, Diane Arbus (1923-1971) was frequently invited into personal realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, the photographs collected in this volume convey no sense of intrusion or trespass--instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment. Arbus's desire to know people embraced a vast spectrum of humanity. Her subjects featured in Sanctum Sanctorum include debutantes, nudists, celebrities, aspiring celebrities, socialites, transvestites, babies, widows, circus performers, lovers, female impersonators, and a blind couple in their bedroom. Through a fresh consideration of little-known photographs among works that may be more familiar, this publication invites viewers to discover aspects of even well-known images that have previously gone unnoticed. Published on the occasion of the exhibitions presented jointly by David Zwirner, London, and Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, Sanctum Sanctorum is an invaluable addition to the understanding of one of the most daring and transformative photographers of the twentieth century.

Campi Flegrei. Burning Earth
Explore a land shaped by fire and time. In Campi Flegrei: Burning Earth Luigi Spina's photographs capture the raw power and enduring human presence. Campi Flegrei, near Naples, is a seismically active landscape that attracts, stimulates, and challenges. It seduces the soul, engages perception, and demands to be interpreted rather than merely registered. People have chosen to live amongst these unique geological and volcanic features, weaving the fabric of human occupation and taming a land in perpetual transformation, one of the harshest yet most enchanting environments. Mankind has matched its own impermanence against the earth's inevitable and unrestrained convulsions, in the process hewing out some of the most glorious examples of human endeavor, such as Cumae, the oldest Greek colony in the Western Mediterranean, the bustling Roman port of Puteoli, and the "dolce vita" savored in the baths and villas dotted around the Bay of Baiae. Luigi Spina has been exploring this land since 2020, delving into the complex, stratified geography. Key landmarks include places of memory (archaeological sites, monuments, landscapes), which, like true benchmarks of perception, outline the path towards an understanding of a world that links nature, ancient ruins, and the overwhelming presence of mankind. Balanced between mimicry and contradiction, the Campi Flegrei landscape is now blanketed by a dense urban sprawl, where the ancient and the contemporary coexist in a kind of precarious equilibrium, generating a complex socio-cultural state of affairs that is challenging to govern. Spina explores and photographs places such as the Dragonara Cave, the Piscina Mirabilis, the Theatre of Misenum, the Flavian Amphitheatre at Puteoli, the Temple of Apollo on the shores of Lake Avernus, and the Temples of Venus and Diana, as he wanders through the hills above Baiae, finally heading towards Cumae.

Greenland Arctic Flashpoint
Greenland is the world's largest island. It has long been considered a remote and isolated landmass, known for its breathtaking ice-covered landscapes. It became part of the Kingdom of Denmark with the Norse settlements in Greenland originating from Iceland. Erik the Red founded an early colony in 985 AD and the Norse rapidly established well-functioning pasture farming settlements. These Norse settlements vanished during the 14th and early 15th centuries, when the Inuit from Canada (Thule people) attacked and obliterated the Norse and then became the sole occupants of the island, expanding to the southern and western coasts.The Danish king still sent his Royal ships every year to collect important treasure but a permanent presence was not re-established until 1721 with the mission of the Danish priest Hans Egede, which was followed by the Moravian missions. These established enduring settlements and-after failing to find the Norse peoples- Christianized the Inuit. There was a lot of intermarriages over the centuries and the Greenlanders are mostly not pure Inuit anymore. The new finance PM of Greenland M繳te Egede bears the family name of Hans Egede.As the Arctic has become a new theater of military and economic competition, Greenland's strategic value has skyrocketed and its geopolitical importance is well known for President Trump織s wish to simply buy the island, raising questions about the future of this vast, underdeveloped territory.

Erwin Olaf
Erwin Olaf, renowned for his bold photography, evolved from avant-gardist to celebrated artist. This biography, based on his archives, honors his legacy and queer advocacy. Publication accompanying the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam exhibition of the same name, running from 10 October 2025 to February 2026. It was a shock when Erwin Olaf passed away unexpectedly in 2023 while recovering from a lung transplant. In the 1980s and 1990s, he gained fame for his extravagant, sometimes sexually explicit photographs. Inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe, Hans van Manen, and Paul Blanca, he found his muses in Amsterdam's Club RoXY. Over time, he evolved from a rebellious avant-gardist into a celebrated artist, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to his exhibitions, from The Hague to Shanghai. Throughout his career, he remained true to himself, creating his own universe while tirelessly advocating for the rights of the queer community. A progressive lung disease prompted Erwin Olaf to put his legacy in order and contribute to this book about his life and work. "I don't need to come out looking great. But I do want it to be accurate." Mischa Cohen followed Erwin Olaf for years, gaining access to his archives and his life. He spoke with lovers, friends, colleagues, gallerists, curators, muses, and family, and was present at photoshoots. Together, they selected images from his body of work and personal life. And finally, there were the last, emotional encounters in a sterile hospital room.

Alfred Buckham
Alfred Buckham was a daredevil photographer who created spellbinding images in the most precarious conditions, capturing the imagination. Published to accompany the first major exhibition of Alfred Buckham's work. Leaving behind a comprehensive archive, Alfred Buckham wrote in detail about his exploits, including his nine crashes and how, to get the best images, he would stand up while flying in an open biplane, tying his right leg to the seat with a scarf, in order to loop the loop in 'perfect safety'. But dive a little deeper and there is an even more interesting story - how he created these unbelievable photographs. Using a combination of different negatives, Buckham used his skills in the darkroom to craft stunning images that capture the experience of flight but with a little extra drama. Published to accompany the first major exhibition of Alfred Buckham's work, this book draws on the photographer's archive, held by his grandsons, and exciting new acquisitions made by the National Galleries of Scotland including the camera he took to the skies and a selection of the negatives used to craft his most celebrated images.
Linder: Danger Came Smiling
Five decades of work from the subversive feminist artist known for her photomontages exploring the body and representations of femininityBritish artist Linder Sterling (born 1954) first emerged in the late 1970s as a prominent figure within the dynamic landscapes of punk and post-punk music, and later went on to become an internationally recognized artist renowned for her multifaceted practice. Throughout her career, Linder has used photomontage as a potent instrument for dissecting and reshaping the portrayal and commercialization of gender norms and sexual identity. Drawing from source materials extracted from magazines of the late 20th century, she exposes the weighty stereotypes imposed on both ends of the gender spectrum: automobiles, DIY culture and pornography for men; fashion and domesticity for women. In addition to using found images from magazines, Linder has also used photographs of herself taking on various feminine personae, which navigate concepts of personal invention and the performative dimensions of identity. Her art is informed by a rich tapestry of influences spanning religious art, surrealism, mysticism and the ever-evolving landscape of social media.With an introduction by Rachel Thomas, new essays by Chris Kraus and Marina Warner, a new interview with Gilly Fox and a chronology by Katie Guggenheim, this book is the comprehensive guide to Linder's world and work.
