Andy Phillips transports his viewers into “another time” with his brilliant black and white photographs of U2 visiting and performing in the UK. It contains close up images which showcase the personalities of the band members. From posing like stereotypical tourists in front of statues to buying clothes to performing on stage, Phillips humanizes these world renowned celebrities. He describes the photographs within this book as “an up close and personal view of a young band, full of self-belief and bravado.” It truly is a personal look at U2, granting viewers of this book a closer look into U2’s daily lives.
Roger Ballen is one of the most original image makers of the twenty-first century. Asylum of the Birds showcases his iconic photographs, which were all taken entirely within the confines of a house in a Johannesburg suburb, the location of which remains a tightly guarded secret. The inhabitants of the house, both people and animals, and most notably the ever-present birds, are the cast who perform within a sculptural and decorated theatrical interior that the author creates and orchestrates.
The resulting images are compelling and dynamic, existing somewhere between still life and portrait. They are richly layered with graffiti, drawings, animals, and found objects. In a world where photographers seek to avoid definition, Roger Ballen is a true original who not only defies genres, but has defined his own artistic space as well. 90 duotone illustrations
Surveying the spectrum of photography from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Photography: A Critical Introduction is the first book to examine key debates in photographic theory and place them in their proper social and political contexts. While most histories of photography invariably focus on the works of the “great photographers,” this book is written especially to provide a coherent introduction to the nature of photographic seeing and its personal and cultural significance through history.
