The ecstatic face of a disco dancer in Berlin; a rural panorama in Derry, where a country road has been made into a Pollock-like canvas of red, white and blue; an ashtray, framed by a lacy spray of blood in a Barcelona toilet. Paul Graham uses and abuses classic genres of photography -- the portrait, the landscape, the still life -- to map a cultural topography. His jewel-like colours and unsettling compositions reveal how social relations and political trauma are inscribed in the everyday. This book brings together for the first time all of Graham's successive series, from his journey along the A1 in Britain to intimate studies of Japan. Graham's work has been celebrated in shows around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Tate Gallery, London.

Helmut Newton's "Portraits" showcases a stunning collection of portraits featuring the beautiful people from the international realms of film, art, and fashion, created from 1974 onwards for prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper's Bazaar, as well as elite art publications. This volume gathers his photographs of renowned film stars, fashion designers, actors, artists, writers, pop musicians, and photographers, capturing the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie with the audacity of a Roman paparazzo. With technical perfection, boldness, and a strong stylistic vision, Newton masterfully portrays the psychological drama between the glamour of show business and the desire for recognition among his subjects. The collection includes portraits of notable figures such as Paloma Picasso, Catherine Deneuve, Hanna Schygulla, Romy Schneider, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Andy Warhol, Sophia Loren, Liz Taylor, Mick Jagger, Kim Basinger, Jack Nicholson, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Nastassja Kinski, and many others.
