Adrienne Salinger: Teenagers in Their Bedrooms
The new edition of Salinger's ever-relevant series of 1980s and '90s teenagers in their bedroomsBedrooms contain the past, the present and the future; they are sites of continual transformation. Popular culture and fashion continually change and recycle. While specific objects of decor change over time, teenagers' bedrooms are still private sanctuaries: spaces for safely experimenting during a time in life when one is forming and expressing ever-evolving identities.Upon its release in 1995, Adrienne Salinger's book In My Room was an immediate success, selling nearly 24,000 copies in its first few years. The continued popularity of this work made in the '80s and '90s is curious. However, over the nearly 30 years since, and especially in the most recent decade of social media, the work's appeal has grown tremendously. In some cases, the work evokes nostalgia, but not primarily so. Adrienne Salinger hears from current teenagers often; many send her pictures of their bedrooms today. Social media encourages users to endlessly "rebrand" their identities, creating idealized fantasies, striving for perfection. These photographs are not about perfection. They give voice to the contradictions of our identities.Hundreds of print and online articles, interviews and features on In My Room have been published and the work has been exhibited at museums all around the world. Long out of print and now considered a classic, with only a rare few available on the secondary market, the book returns in a new expanded edition as Teenagers in Their Bedrooms. With 26 additional photographs, this treasure is made available once more to new audiences.Adrienne Salinger has published three photobooks: In My Room (1995), Living Solo (1999) and Middle Aged Men (2007). She is Regents Professor Emerita at the University of New Mexico.

In that time, he's explored countless overgrown fields where he's discovered rock walls, old wells, foundations, and signs of former human habitation. For Skafte, each of these roads inhabits a time and place lost; a track through the wilderness to a place that someone once called home. Featuring 80 evocative colour images, with GPS coordinates to guide readers to each unique location, and more than 20 deeply poetic tales of discovery, This River Was Once a Road traces the paths of our past to reveal the places we've left behind.

Queer Lens explores this transformative force of photography, which has played a pivotal role in increasing queer visibility. Lively essays by scholars and artists explore myriad manifestations of queer culture, both celebrating complex interpretations of people and relationships and resisting rigid definitions. Featuring a rich selection of images--including portraits of queer individuals, visual records of queer kinship, and documentary photographs of early queer groups and protests--this volume investigates the medium's profound role in illuminating the vibrant tapestry of LGBTQ+ communities. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from June 17 to September 28, 2025.

Nicola Brandt: The Distance Within
From German colonialism to the post-apartheid present, Brandt's photographs present new views of Namibia that intertwine its many historiesFeaturing images and video stills made over more than a decade, The Distance Within reflects on photographer Nicola Brandt's (born 1983) German and Namibian ancestry and deconstructs certain established ways of seeing Namibia. Brandt traveled the country extensively, documenting landscapes and people, structures and encounters, to reveal ensnared histories of German colonialism, National Socialism and apartheid. Markers of these histories range from the ephemeral and private, such as a dilapidated mound of stones as a roadside memorial, to official sites of remembrance and resistance, particularly for colonial atrocities. Alongside her images, Brandt assembles texts by scholars in photography, postcolonial cultures, memory and genocide studies, as well as archival material, to understand enduring blind spots. The result is an intersectional argument in favor of reclaiming suppressed Indigenous stories and identities, undoing romantic notions of whiteness and, ultimately, illuminating what has not been visible.

The Color of Clothes
"Soon the world will be color-mad and Lumi癡re will be responsible." -- Alfred Stieglitz, 1907These words announced the arrival of the autochrome, the color process invented by the Lumi癡re brothers that not only transformed photography, but also recorded the transition of fashion from Edwardian elegance toward a liberating modernity. The Color of Clothes celebrates the unique beauty of the autochrome in 370 images that reflect the broad sweep of its usage. Couturiers embraced the way the process showcased their exquisite designs to luminous perfection--among them Fortuny, Poiret, Doucet, Vionnet, Lucile, Chanel, and Lanvin. Beyond the sphere of fashion, there are also examples from the Salon du Go羶t Fran癟ais, France's "virtual" autochrome exhibition of luxury items, and Albert Kahn's Archives de la Plan癡te, a bold attempt to record the world's cultures in autochromes.Some of the photographers involved may be famous in their field--Lartigue, Stieglitz, Steichen--though very often they are lesser known, and many are women who took to the process with panache. Whoever they were, they helped to immortalize one of photography's historic moments, when the camera first revealed the world of fashion as it was--in color.

What the F Stop
Learn Photography with a smile.This is not your typical "click here, set this" how-to book. It's a conversation. A theatrical, sometimes sideways, often laugh-out-loud and occasionally scratch-your-head stroll through the art of seeing.Framed and seasoned by tales, reflections, and a colourful cast of references, you'll discover what truly matters in photography: understanding and feeling. And yes, camera settings too. Mostly, however, telling stories and painting with light.No photos, no graphs, just vivid images painted with words, humour, and insight. If you love to learn with a smile, and you're ready to make the technical second nature rather than second-guessing, this is for you.Guided by award-winning stage performer, photographer, and storyteller Stephan Bollinger, a man with a weakness for metaphors and iced caramel lattes.This is not a manual.It's a novel with vision.What does this all mean?Rather than focusing solely on camera settings, this book helps you understand how photography truly works, from light and contrast to composition, colour, and emotion.It's a journey. Through chapters that range from theatrical tales to playful deep dives into aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, readers begin to see the world differently. No quizzes on histograms, but a renewed appreciation for shadow, space, and the language of light.In a book without images, readers create more vivid pictures in their minds than any how-to guide ever could.Readers will explore topics such as: Seeing the light (really seeing it)The history of photography.

Winfried Bullinger: Pastoralist Homes
An archive of a disappearing African architectural heritage, captured by the realist, reverent eye of BullingerSince 2008, German photographer Winfried Bullinger (born 1965) has traveled around Eastern and Central Africa, capturing the vernacular architecture of these regions. In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists' homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable.Implementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people's specific environment and culture. Bullinger's conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.
Bruce Davidson: The Way Back
Nearly four decades of unpublished works from a master of documentary photographyConsisting solely of previously unpublished photographs, The Way Back is a deep dive through Bruce Davidson's more than 60-year career. The book chronologically presents photos made between 1957 and 1992, showcasing Davidson's exceptional versatility--from his earliest assignments to later seminal bodies of work including his yearlong study of teenage members of a Brooklyn Gang (1959), his extensive coverage of the American Civil Rights Movement in Time of Change (1961-65) and his breakthrough portraits of the residents of a single block in Harlem in East 100th Street (1966-68). Series such as Subway (1980) and Central Park (1992) confirm Davidson as a quintessential chronicler of New York City.What emerges through this retrospective is Davidson's overt sensibility and empathy for his subjects and his commitment to documenting them in depth over time. Unlike his peers who photographed historical events, Davidson focused on the people within these histories. Now, drawing near the end of his long career, Davidson offers this book as a parting look at his artistic passage, an elegiac goodbye as well as a requiem.Bruce Davidson (born 1933, Oak Park, IL) became a member of the Magnum Photos agency in 1958; since then his photographs and photo series have been widely published to great acclaim. At Yale University, he studied under photographer Alexey Brodovitch and artist Josef Albers, the latter of whom encouraged him to pursue his work among marginalized people and communities. His artistic influences include Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
