Wer kennt sie eigentlich, die Fotografengeneration nach Newton, Lindbergh, von Unwerth, Ritts? Wer gibt in der Aktfotografie heute den Ton an? Immer mehr Newcomer werfen leichtfertig das Handwerk zugunsten von Digitalkamera, Bildbearbeitung und Internet über Bord, denn die klassische Schwarz-Weiss-Fotografie bringt jeden Fehler ans Licht, zeigt unbarmherzig, wer etwas kann und wer nicht. Die Bilder in diesem Buch stellen sich dem Trend entgegen: Sie sind gekonnt, sexy, romantisch, eigenwillig - das Beste heutiger Aktfotografie in Schwarz-Weiss.

This compendium chronicles the pleasures of flying in style with copious illustrations and evocative text. Far from the check-in lines of regular air travel, we get a peek at the expansive airport lounges with every comfort and convenience. There is everything from ergonomic workspaces to shower and changing rooms … even completely equipped fitness centers. Naturally, the opulence continues on board with luxurious seating and—sometimes full-scale beds! Not to forget the fine tableware and linens, or the walk-up bar. This book also showcases private and business jets, which offer the deluxe décor of a penthouse in the sky.

This book follows the historical developments of the Islamic dynasties and regions, showing the variety of their forms of artistic expression from the beginning until today.

Devoted to nude and erotic photography by women photographers, this new exciting book illustrates the emotional force and sensual beauty of the female body as seen through the feminine lens. This gorgeous book features the works of some of today's most important female photographers--including Bettina Rheims, Cindy Sherman, Annie Leibovitz, Nan Goldin, Sylvia Plachy, Sally Mann, and Ellen von Unwerth. More than one hundred images explore themes such as introversion and extroversion, the private and the public. The book examines the distinctly female aspects of erotic photography, and what emerges is a profoundly sympathetic relationship between viewer and subject. And, as a number of these women artists have worked as models themselves, their perspective on this role adds yet another layer to this powerful volume. Strikingly beautiful and elegant, this provocative collection is a lovely introduction to an increasingly important genre.
