Pixel Surgeons presents the very best of today's styling and illusion in fashion and lifestyle photography.
Fifty years ago fashion photography was perceived as the elitist preserve of glossy magazines across the world. Today it is part of the 21st-century lifestyle. Commuting to and from work, we are subjected to billboards and hoardings advertising well-known labels. It is now de rigueur for every tabloid to contain a fashion features page. Style magazines - for both men and women - dominate the heaving newsagent's shelves.
Media awareness and discriminating aesthetics have provoked a multi-layered language of fashion photography, and digital technology has introduced a level of image manipulation that has further enriched the genre. Today's photographic communicators offer personal visions that grab the viewer by the throat in their attempt to satisfy the market's craving for more and more imaginative imagery.
Martin Dawber presents the work of over 30 of the most exceptional new international practitioners of photography, styling, and digital manipulation, exploring their methods and influences.
It's the ultimate supermodel yearbook. Join the four photographers whose work was featured in the 2011 "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue" on a behind-the-scenes account of their travels, revisiting their experiences through never-before-seen images and exclusive commentary. In this large-format, 176-page collection, "Swimsuit Portfolio: Fantasy Islands" showcases 17 of the world's most exquisite bodies at four exotic beach locations - Turtle Island in Fiji, Sentosa Island in Singapore, Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands and Boracay Island in the Philippines. Grab your passport and take the tour with Brooklyn Decker, Irina Shayk, Hilary Rhoda, Esti Ginzburg and Christine Teigen (among others) as your guides.
Every picture featured in Still Life and Special Effects Photography is accompanied by a description of how the lighting was achieved, while clear illustrations showing each lighting set-up help readers achieve the same effect.
The first section is dedicated to shooting conventional still-life subjects (such as food, product shots and natural flora), and the second to the more challenging field of special-effect photography (montage, multiexposure, mirrors and props, constructing simple room sets, etc).
Now available new in paperback, this should be an indispensable book for anyone who would like to discover the secrets behind other photographers successful images.

African Queens
Simple, sensual portraits of dark-skinned beauties
"Poets have described the beauty of African women with their words,
Uwe Ommer with his camera."Photo Presse, Germany
Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned works, as this book eloquently attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the stunning landscape of Africa.
Calixthe Beyala, born in Cameroon, is one of the leading African francophone poets. The texts in this book were written especially as a commentary on the photography of Uwe Ommer.
The photographer:
Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age and in 1962 moved to Paris, where he initially worked as a photographer’s assistant. Within a few years, he opened his own photography studio, primarily shooting fashion and advertising photos. Quickly gaining respect for his work in Paris, Ommer began showing in local galleries and eventually published his first book, Photoedition Uwe Ommer, in 1979, a collection of personal and advertising works. In the following years, he would publish five more books of his photographs. In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship to the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work. His books for TASCHEN include Black Ladies, Asian Ladies, Transit, and 1000 Families.
