Signed by the Photographer\n\nDuring the 2016 US Presidential elections Japanese photographer, Fumi Nagasaka, became intrigued by the rural and southern USA. She had lived in New York City for a decade but despite travelling the world, had yet to visit the rest of the US. All this changed when her friend, Tanya Rouse, invited her to her hometown of Dora, Alabama. Nagasaka continued to visit Dora over several years, gradually building a photographic archive of her visits. A selection of these photographs are included in her new book Dora, Yerkwood, Walker County, Alabama.\n‘I can only describe Alabama in three words: family, God and football. Family is everything. It brings a sense of belonging, love, joy and community that keeps us unified. The South is a small, big world where everyone is connected in some way.’ - Diahmin Hawkins\n\nLocated northwest of city of Birmingham, Dora is a town of about 2,300 people. Church, college football, and Jack’s —the regional fast food chain— are popular with the town’s residents and Nagasaka was introduced to each on her visits. Although an outsider, Nagasaka gradually built trust and began to photograph the town’s residents. After documenting Dora High School’s homecoming football game Nagasaka’s connections grew exponentially. She found herself immersed in the lives of several Walker County residents and earned both their trust and the opportunity to tell their stories.\n\nPublished November 2023\n225 x 270 mm portrait\n144pp, 75 images\nHardback\nISBN 978-1-915423-10-8

Elemental Forms is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 4x5 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\n\nUsing light, wet plate collodion chemistry, paper cut-outs, cliché verre, and brushes, Nadezda Nikolova creates camera-less compositions in the darkroom through multiple exposures that allude to landscapes, light and atmospheric phenomena, and organic forms found in nature.\n\nNikolova’s art straddles the line between representation and abstraction; the pared-down visual vocabulary arises from the immediacy of the photogram, placing it in conversation with painting, collage, graphic arts, and sculpture. The compositions range in mood from contemplative stillness to dynamism and movement, employing shape, artifact, gesture, and tonal range to explore balance and rhythm. \n\nBorn in 1978 (former Yugoslavia), Nadezda Nikolova studied 19th century phototrophic printing processes at the University of Kentucky and the George Eastman Museum. Prior to becoming a full-time artist, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources & Environmental Science and a Master of Policy Analysis & Administration. Her work is exhibited and collected internationally.\n\nElemental Forms is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 4x5 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59005-560-1\nHardcover, 6 x 8 1/2, 16 pages, 12 duotone plates, 1 original signed photograph.

(OPB2 033) Nadezda Nikolova - Elemental Forms

Otari-Pristine Peaks Mountain Spirit Garden    A world of white silver that extends to the bottom of the eye. A shot of a gunshot to the snowy mountains tore the silence.    At that moment, my soul was shaking with the spirit of the mountain and I felt like it was flying in the sky.    Shinshu, Odani village. In the foot of a mountain range in the Northern Alps, small settlements are dotted, leaving their activities still quiet. Villagers live daily in the harsh and abundant nature of the mountains and the flow of seasons. Nearly four years have passed since I first visited this place of heavy snow, where the snowfall is nearly three meters in the middle of winter. At first, I visited here for coverage of traditional fire festivals and hunting, but my encounter with the nature of the mountain and the people who live in it firmly depends on the city, and my imagination has lived much It was over.    His work seemed to be clean and hidden deep. "The blessing of the mountains," they say. It is awe of the nature of the mountains, revered, and confronting the wild and obscenes that appear in front of you. When you are in a deep mountain, there are times when you feel as if your ugly being is wrapped in a big pocket. It is like a huge living entity with a will beyond wisdom and breathing constantly. Mountains produce water and nurture all life. In that cage, we live and work with our family and friends and connect life. If you look up, the top of the eternal sky and the heaven are nearby. In the four seasons I visited, I stayed with them for a while, and I released the shutter as perceived by instinct.   w21 x h24 cm    96 Pages  58 Images (Colors)   Booklet    Color Offset Printing    Limited 1000 copies   Published in 2018    ISBN 978-4-908512-28-5

There is a bump in one corner of this book   Signed by the photographer   Bleed: simon norfolk  A haunting and beautiful limited edition book from the  internationally respected photographer, Simon Norfolk.   The page size is a massive 400mm x 320mm. It is printed on extra weight 200gsm paper, and incorporates matt and gloss varnishes. It includes 24 colour plates.  The war in Bosnia in the 1990s raised to common currency the terms ?ethnic cleansing,? and ?humanitarian intervention?. It brought back to Europe a barbarism not seen since the Second World War; and was the first war fought very much under the eyes of the media. It was also the first conflict fought by killers who knew, even before the war had finished, that a war crimes tribunal awaited them.  Norfolk?s photographs initially appear almost abstract. Yet through these still and beautiful images of ice, water, snow and the land, we can sense the arrogance of killers who believed they could conceal the brutal evidence of their crimes by reburying their victims in ?secondary' graves. But over time secrets escape, and the truth bleeds out.  Winner of the 2002 European Publishers? Award for Photography, Simon Norfolk won the Olivier Rebbot Award (Foreign Press Association of America) in 2003 and was shortlisted for the CitiBank Prize. In 2004 he received a prestigious International Centre of Photography Infinity Award, and the Terence Donovan Award from the Royal Photographic Society. Already in 2005 he has received the Association of Photographers?Bursary Award, and been nominated for the Arles Outreach Award.

While Arnold Newman is recognized as a pioneer of the environmental portrait, creating iconic photographs of Igor Stravinsky,    Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pablo Picasso, and other such figures in the context of their working spaces, Newman spent the early years of his career experimenting in abstract and documentary images.    Spanning 1938 to 1942, this collection reveals his evolution as a photographer, working in Philadelphia and West Palm Beach.   Among the 106 black and white images - each reproduced in tritone and presented singly, at original size, on a large cream page?are abstracts, still lifes, and the impoverished people and places of the Depression.   Hardcover 12.75 x 12.75 inches   231 pages, 106 tritone plates   ISBN: 9783865213617
