For Bernal, photography was a potent tool in affirming the value of individuals and communities who lacked visibility and agency.

My own obsession was instant and irrevocable, and I was soon earning minimum wage as a monitor in the continuing ed darkroom, using the earnings to buy any box of photo paper I could afford, and time in the lab to burn through the paper. The year was 2000, two decades after Francesca Woodman was an undergraduate student at RISD, and she still loomed large in the Providence photographic mystique. It feels like a confession then, that I never engaged much with Woodman’s work. Several iconic images were seared into my memory alongside a perfunctory, broad-stroke biography of her too-short life, but I had never sat long with the photographs themselves..." — Meggan Gould [Read the full review]( [Order copies of The Artists Books]( ARRIVING SOON --------------------------------------------------------------- Fashion Photography for America 1999–2016 Juergen Teller Teller and Freedman’s work for Barneys catalogs between 2011 and 2016 epitomizes their risk-taking approach in unusual fashion locations such as Belgrade, Panama City and Tirana. The resulting images reveal kooky contrasts and unexpected scenarios, as models and actors explore their environments in comic poses, producing a kind of nonconformist advertising. For Fashion Photography for America 1999–2016, Teller photographed the original W magazines and Barneys catalogs from his archives, a lo-fi method that projects the reader into his physical sifting process.

In a later trip he travelled to Alaska and then another lengthy trip to Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and upstate New York. This new book includes some of these new images alongside those taken on previous trips. Power has described the process to be like "assembling a large and complicated jigsaw puzzle with little idea of what the final picture will be."

This work is about the juxtaposition of clouds and the solid surface of the mountains of Hawaii Island where the artist resides. For the artist who has been taking pictures underwater over the past 40 years, the sea and land are a single landscape connected by water and air. He has always been greatly inspired by oriental landscape paintings of mountains and clouds. His landscape photographs, which have become one beyond the boundary between East and West and sky and land, raise fundamental questions about the circulation of invisible energy and natural matter. [Order Mountains and Clouds or read more]( The True America Ernest Cole After the publication of his landmark 1967 book House of Bondage on the horrors of apartheid, Ernest Cole moved to New York and received a grant from the Ford Foundation to document Black communities in cities and rural areas of the United States. He released very few images from this body of work while he was alive. Thought to be lost entirely, the negatives of Cole’s American pictures resurfaced in Sweden in 2017.
