APOCALYPSE is a French magazine (in English) about motorcycle pop culture. It delves into the world of motorbiking and breaches its borders: "Whilst the motorcycle is the thread that ties the magazine together it explores a vast and varied range of subjects that focus through the lens of art and culture.

Holy Rus is a photography book by Vladislav Semenov. The book contains 240 pictures taken with a film camera during trips to Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. Some 30 years after the downfall of communism, the photographer reveals the bittersweet side of a post-Soviet world riddled withparadoxes: oscillating between hypermodernity and folk traditions, disproportionate wealth and extreme poverty, kitsch and classicism, religiosity and consumerism. With derision but not without tenderness, the photographer highlights the incoherencies and the sometimes tragicomic absurdity of everyday situations encountered by the ordinary people, whether they be revelers, old folks, tourists, fervent patriots or thehomeless. Initially begun as a travel log, the series evolves into a personal diary, summarizing the artist's both mental and physical trip through his homeland, as if he was trying to reconnect the strands of his origins.

Famed for restoring historic properties, Belmond luxury?hotel group is now collaborating with world-leading contemporary photographers to create bodies of work responding to their destinations, carefully pairing each artist with the personality of the chosen hotel. Letizia Le Fur photographed Caruso, on the Amalfi Coast in autumn 2022, and spring 2024. Caruso has a history that goes back almost a thousand years, and there is a certain genius in the way Le Fur depicts its architecture against the glowing hills and towering cliffs of this most iconic stretch of Italy's coastline. The reliefs appear almost flat, like a Renaissance trompe l'oeil fresco, or a stage set for A Midsummer Night's Dream, where one could simply step out and glide across their surface. The gardens could have been plucked straight from a Hayao Miyazaki fantasy. It was quite intentional for these photographs to reinforce the dreamlike, timeless aspect of the place. Le Fur sought to capture what she calls the 'omnipresent sun' - the buttery light that drenches the 11th-century walls and cliffside gardens. It is this singular observation that drives the book; every subject Le Fur captures is soaked in a luminescence that plays a character in several acts, and it is the sun's kaleidoscopic theatrics that form the heart of the story.

Famed for restoring historic properties, Belmond luxury¿hotel group is now collaborating with world-leading contemporary photographers to create bodies of work responding to their destinations, carefully pairing each artist with the personality of the chosen hotel. Coco Capitán photographed the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in spring 2023 and winter 2024.Coco Capitán doesn't like planes. Instead, she loves nothing more than classical forms of transportation - sailboats, yachts, vintage cars and, of course, the archetypal train journey. So when Capitán was invited to photograph the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express - with its original 1920s carriages and historic routes throughout Europe - she couldn't say no. While on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Capitán took the most instinctive approach, that of a curious traveller taking a trip with friends. Within the series, the relationship Capitán has built with the staff is interchangeable with the existing bond with her friends who join her on the journey. Images fluctuate from playful snapshots to thoughtful moments of contemplation.Capitán's photographs and the series title remind us that, amongst the glamour, the pilgrimage is just as important as the destination. Each minute should be treasured, no matter how silly or trivial it can feel, because this new reality is fleeting, and will soon belong to someone else.

This year, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie gives a Carte Blanche to multimedia artist Thomas Mailaender, dedicating to him his first major retrospective in Paris.

Following in the great tradition of a noble and ancient genre, Charles Negre presents a series of ultra-contemporary still lifes he created at the end of the Parisian markets. The artist moves his camera out into the field, capturing abandoned remains in situ. Playing on the codes of advertising, the book Sidewalk Stills explores the visual charge of seemingly innocuous, disposable subjects, creating images that at once shock, delight and make visible food waste and overconsumption.

Since 2005, Corinne Vionnet has been working on mass tourism and the massive circulation of images. Paris Paris Paris follows on from the seriesthat made her famous. After studying several destinations, the artist turned her attention to one of the most photographed cities, and found numeroussites and monuments that feed an uninterrupted flow of images. The Swiss artist transforms the raw material she works with: standardized snapshots of hyper-frequented places that feed social networks. Her images, which reveal nothing of the considerable work involved in their creation (archive research, crowdsourcing and collage), question our collective memory and tourist behavior. Why do we always take and share the same images?

"Images that embody the point of view of the perpetrators of violent crimes, or their accomplices, force us to look at the pain of victims through the eyes of those who caused it. Accompanied by over sixty visuals of historically infamous violence, The Death in their Eyes goes beyond the visible aspects of images to reveal what has been left outside of the frame. Covering human abuse and humiliation at Abu Ghraib, the Auschwitz Album, religious desecration during the Spanish Civil War, an unfinished Nazi propaganda film made at the Warsaw Ghetto in the spring of 1942, and detainees at the S-21 torture center in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, this volume proposes a rigorous new methodology for analyzing perpetrator images, in photography and film, that continue to be used and re-appropriated in today's media"--

As Americans prepared for-and then entered-World War II, the nation was awash with government propaganda. Armed with his Graflex, Speed Graphic, and 35mm cameras, Alfred Palmer shot many of the images that appeared in these patriotic appeals. His photographs were used by the National Defense Advisory Commission, the Office of Emergency Management, the Office of War Information, the War Production Board, the War Shipping Administration, and the US Maritime Commission.Palmer's photographs were seen by millions of Americans and Europeans. His work reveals his technical prowess. He was masterful in his use of lighting and was a pioneer in the use of color photography. He brought a visual weapon to America's arsenal to counter Nazi propaganda. His images portray a country transformed into an economically wealthy, socially coherent, and energetic nation whose citizens-including women and ethnic minorities-were depicted as vitally important to the war effort.
