Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia's remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they're expected to survive.  Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth's greatest creatures. It's through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve..."We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that's been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven't had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact."

Thirty-Six Views of the Moon is a meditative collection of nighttime exposures made with book pages from texts referencing the night sky spanning the last ten centuries.Drink wine and look at the moon and think of all the civilizations the moon has seen passing by…— Omar Khayyam, 11th-century mathematician and poetTaking his cue from Omar Khayyam’s poem, Ebtekar produces a vignette of windows to the moon, inviting us to shift the direction of our gaze. In his process, the artist works with a photographic glass plate negative of the moon from the Lick Observatory archives in Northern California, treating each book page with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype) to make the surface of the page light-sensitive. Then, Ebtekar exposes the pages overnight in the UV-light emitted by the moon.This project challenges viewers to imagine the the moon looking at us, seeing ourselves as the objects of the moon’s billion-year gaze. There are four unique editions to the work, each produced under the moonlight of a season (i.e. winter, spring, etc.), and each with its own unique bibliography. The artist’s proof is the only edition made with moonlight from all four seasons over the span of one year.

Die Girls in diesem Buch sind alle "unten ohne". Sie tragen keine Unterhöschen, keine Strings, einfach nichts. Ihre fordernden kleinen Vaginas und ihre großartig geformten Körper werden in all ihrer Schönheit porträtiert. Was könnte es Besseres geben? Es liegt in der Natur der Dinge, dass der freie Blick auf die Genitalien in der erotischen Fotografie sexuell inspiriert ist. Das gilt vor allem für die heutige Glamour-Fotografie. Künstlerische Aktfotografie hingegen fokussiert typischerweise mehr die Körperformen und den Ausdruck als die Sexualität. Paramonov hat einen genialen Mittelweg gefunden: Obwohl er alle erotischen Zonen der Modelle zeigt, liegt in seinen Aufnahmen eine besondere Zartheit und Distanziertheit, die bei rein erotischen Aufnahmen eigentlich nicht üblich ist.

Die Arbeiten in diesem Buch sind ein kleiner Querschnitt, der die intimsten Momente wahrer Schönheiten zeigt. Diese Schönheiten haben die Leidenschaft und die Lust, ihren Körper und ihre knisternde Erotik ohne Scheu und Hemmungen zur Schau zu stellen. Solche Bilder von einzigartigen Schönheiten mit der Kamera festzuhalten - das ist die Magie und die Leidenschaft der erotischen Kunst.

Mein Bekleidungsfundus ist voller Häkelbikinis, Frotteeklamotten und anderer Teile aus den 70ern und 80ern. Oft mische ich Vintage mit moderner Bekleidung. Ich liebe ihre Ästhetik und erinnere mich gern an diese Jahre zurück. Damals blitzte gelegentlich etwas Schamhaar aus einem Bikinihöschen. Die Formen eines wohlgeformten Hinterteils in einem passenden Kleidungsstück zu erahnen, ist aufregend.

A stunning collection of images showcasing the scenic splendour, intrinsic character and contrasting treasures of Suffolk through the seasons.

"Travelogue: Greek everyday solutions to common problems" is a book years in the making. Stemming from the project "DIY: who's the designer?" by the same editors, this publication serves as a visual journey into the spontaneous DIY culture throughout Greece and explores the connection between design as a practice and the artefacts made by anonymous individual creators. Papairlines are a team of designers with an applied interest in how ideas are born. They began photographing objects by unknown creators before 2012, mainly to satisfy their own curiosity as to how non-designers act creatively, composing solutions to problems and needs while filling in design omissions uncatered for by the existing infrastructure and equipment. As the team's thoughts on "DIY: Who's the designer?" matured and their personal photographic collection grew, conversations around every newfound photo provoked the desire to involve more contributors in the project. To the question "What ingenious objects might exist in Greece that have been created by DIY designers?", the team responded with an open call to professional and amateur photographers asking for images from all over the country. The responses brought invaluable fresh information and interesting objects from distant and remote locations. The photographs found in the book are contributions from different parts of Greece, by photographers who are not necessarily the object creators, but successfully capture the essence of these artefacts. Papairlines are the first no-budget airlines founded in 2011 by Vasso Asfi, Costas Bissas and Loukas Angelou between Athens and London. Operating "design flights", papairlines use travel as a metaphor to draw connections between aesthetics and usability, process and result, stereotype and evolution, behaviour and emotion.
