The richly illustrated volume contains new drawings, preceded by a block of black-and-white photographs of body studies, and previously unpublished photographic works museum scenes, still lives and interiors.

Wout Berger - When I Open My Eyes Fotohof 2012 ISBN 9783902675750 Acqn 21864 Pb 24x31cm 130pp 64col ills 25 For over thirty-five years, Ive been living on the IJsselmeer. When I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing I see is the IJsselmeer. Sometimes I take a picture of it, but really seeing it is something else. Not until a friend of mine said to me, You live in your subject matter, did the penny drop. I placed a tripod at a fixed spot in front of the bedroom window and began to look. At first youre grateful for every sailboat that comes along. Every intense sky: a photograph. But before long you start keeping every distraction out of the picture. Its what anyone open to the subject matter ends up doing. Sixty photographs in all: together they make the IJsselmeer. No one photograph is nicer than another. If you start looking at photographs that way, you get lost in aesthetics. Im not after aesthetics. I want to photograph wind, light-elements that we know only by their manifestations. (Wout Berger, excerpt from the artists statement in the book )

Mike Brodie - A Period of Juvenile Prosperity Twin Palms Publishers 2013 ISBN 9781936611027 Acqn 22279 Hb 28x33cm 104pp 60col ills 47 At 17 Mike Brodie hopped his first train close to his home in Pensacola, FL thinking he would visit a friend in Mobile, AL. Instead the train went in the opposite direction to Jacksonville, FL. Days later, Brodie rode the same train home, arriving back where he started. Nonetheless, it sparked something and Brodie began to wander across the U.S. by any means that were free - walking, hitchhiking and train hopping. Shortly after, Brodie found a Polaroid camera stuffed behind a carseat. With no training in photography, the instant camera was an opening for Brodie to document his experiences. As a way of staying in touch with his transient community, Brodie shared his pictures on various websites gaining the moniker The Polaroid Kidd [sic]. When the Polaroid film he used was discontinued, Brodie switched to 35mm film and a sturdy 1980s camera. Brodie spent years crisscrossing the U.S. amassing a collection, now appreciated as one of the most impressive archives of American travel photography. When asked about his approach to travel and photography Brodie has said sometimes I take a train the wrong way orwhatever happens a photo will come out of it, so it doesnt really matter where I end up.

Ltd 2013 ISBN 9784902943801 Acqn 22382 Pb 19x26cm 96pp 76ills 32 Since embarking on her professional career as a photographer in 1975, Mao Ishikawas birthplace of Okinawa has also been a reliable and constant theme in her work, which avoids simple classification as documentary, or even autobiography.

The Silent Strength Of Liu Xia Foil Co. Ltd 2013 ISBN 9784902943825 Acqn 22424 Pb 19x19cm 56pp 40ills 15.95 Poet, painter, and photographer Liu Xia is a notable figure in the contemporary Chinese art world, and is the wife and spokesperson of Liu Xiaobo, the imprisoned 2010 Nobel Laureate. Liu Xia has been under house arrest since January 2010. The compelling photos in this book feature life-like dolls representing the Chinese people, the artist and her husband.

In her critical text, Cui Weiping describes them as physically unable to move, as entirely passive, and yet their spirits burst forth, expressing anger and resistance.

Eye Ohashi Piece Foil Co. Ltd 2013 ISBN 9784902943818 Acqn 22425 Pb 21x29cm 84pp 66col ills 36 Japanese photographer Eye Ohashi is recognisable for her luminous, dream-like and melancholy style, which captures such things as natural landscapes, plants, animals and architecture. The series of images found in Piece reflects the fragmented, arbitrary nature of existence through its broken subjects: landscapes altered by exterior forces, such as erosion, or things disused and neglected, such as buildings and objects, or even portraits of unlucky chance, like an injured butterfly or a childs prosthetic limb. Transient phenomena like blossoms, candles and the subtle shift of light are also pictured. These so-called fragments of life are all beautifully depicted through Ohashis lens.

Mies Van Der Rohe - Photographs By Yoshihiko Ueda Kajima Institute Publishing Co 2013 ISBN 9784306094192 Acqn 22473 Hb 24x33cm 396pp 150col ills 140 Acclaimed Japanese photographer Yoshihiko Ueda embarks upon an introspective pilgrimage to discover the architecture of Mies van der Rohe in this elegant photo book. His passion for the famed Modernists work is palpable, as he approaches each subject with loving, almost ritualistic care. Uedas camera often focuses on the details: textures and grains, doorknobs and furniture, the natural surroundings, the way the light falls, or overlooked corners and unexpected views. He guides us with a sense of physically moving through the place, glancing around, taking it all in with the repetition and progression of viewpoints.
