Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 208

Book Description
Khalik Allah is a New York–based photographer and filmmaker whose work has been described as "street opera," simultaneously penetrative, hauntingly beautiful, and visceral. His photography has been acclaimed by the New York Times, TIME Light Box, the New Yorker, the Guardian, the Village Voice, the BBC, and the Boston Globe. Since 2012, Allah has been photographing people who frequent the corner of 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in Harlem. Shooting film at night with only the light pouring from storefront windows, street lights, cars, and flashing ambulances, he captures raw and intimate portraits of "souls against the concrete." This volume presents a gallery of 105 portraits created with a Nikon F2 35mm camera and a photography predicated on reality. Inviting viewers to look deeply into the faces of people living amid poverty, drug addiction, and police brutality, but also leading everyday lives, Allah seeks to dispel fears, capture human dignity, and bring clarity to a world that outsiders rarely visit. This nuanced portrayal of nocturnal urban life offers a powerful and rare glimpse into the enduring spirit of a slowly gentrifying Harlem street corner and the great legacies of black history that live there.

Studio

Author: Paolo Roversi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783865211644
Category : Black-and-white photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
"Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits — images that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi photograph appears as if captured in the process — it develops on the page right before our very eyes or, depending on your perspective, might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily in 8-by-10 Polaroid, and rarely on location. Studio is a milestone in his burgeoning bibliography. The book, designed as a series of gatefolds, appears to be a collection of empty pages at first glance. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaves of a Polaroid — out of the blackness, an image is revealed as if by magic. The images collected here — a self-portrait of the artist and a portrait of the place that stands at the center of his work — represent nearly two decades of work and are a mix of both the published and the highly personal: landscapes, portraits, fashion images, and photos of the studio itself"--http://www.steidlville.com/books/168-Studio.html.

'93 Til

Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
"To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in ''93 til' captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovate style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the '90s were the golden years of skateboarding. ''93 til' is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and hasn't never been seen or published before. The 250-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists."--Provided by publisher.
