Text engl. - "A collection of rarely seen black-and-white photographs taken of women in the 1950s and 1960s, captured by the renowned New York City fashion photographer and filmmaker. Designed by Ruth Ansel, this elegantly produced volume captures the romance and glamour of women in the 1950s and 1960s. A mix of fashion and portraiture, it includes intimate and striking portraits of Nico, Faye Dunaway, Edie Sedgwick, Sharon Tate, and Catherine Deneuve. Jerry Schatzberg’s moody snapshots of a more innocent and whimsical New York on the brink of the important societal changes of the sixties form a compellingly nostalgic portrait of a stylish moment. Images of jetsetters at an airport terminal, lovers embracing in Central Park, and a woman waltzing in the street in the Financial District portray a time as well as a style. A New York City native, Schatzberg documented the period with the insider’s sensibility of Woody Allen or Martin Scorsese, but with the high-fashion style of Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. With a keen eye for the magic of the in-between moment, Schatzberg stealthily captured the elegance and beauty of a woman as her role was redefined in the sixties, while at the same time retaining an element of humor and surprise."

Text dt., engl. - Die Begeisterung und die Leidenschaft, mit der in Afrika Fußball gespielt wird, übertragen sich unweigerlich auf den Zuschauer. Dem international erfolgreichen Mode- und Werbefotografen Thomas Hoeffgen (*1968 in Kiel) ergeht es nicht anders, als er 1999 für eine Fußballstory nach Nigeria fliegt. Das Thema lässt ihn nicht mehr los, und im Laufe der Jahre entstehen ungewöhnliche, direkte Fotografien von Spielern und Zuschauern in Nigeria, Namibia, Botswana, Sambia, Malawi und Südafrika. Hoeffgens Bilder nehmen uns mit auf die typischen improvisierten Sandbolzplätze des Kontinents mit zwei Holzpflöcken als Tor, aber auch in die Betonarenen der Städte mit ihren Flutlichtern und Tribünen. Bemerkenswert unverstellte Aufnahmen entstehen, weil man dem Mann mit der Kamera keinerlei Beachtung schenkt – hier zählt allein das Spiel. (Verlagstext).

Text engl. - Bad Behavior is a radical new approach to portraiture. Rather than photographing his subjects posed in front of standard, neutral paper backdrop, photographer Bill Hayward boldly invites them to transform the backdrop in any way they choose. Armed with scissors, brush, and paint, the subjects take over, creating fascinating, often amusing, and always revealing portraits. Some use the backdrop to paint portraits, some create landscapes, some write words or phrases, while others create entire stories. Many choose to transform not only the backdrop, but themselves - removing their clothes and/or painting their bodies in the process. - Hayward's subjects are luminaries in a variety of creative fields: painters, actors, directors, dancers, writers, musicians, and poets. Among these are several well-known figures, such as actors Willem Dafoe and Mary Beth Hurt, poets Sharon Olds and Gerald Stern, artists Nancy Spero and Leon Golub, writer Michael Cunningham, musician Michael Feinstein, the late author and actor Quentin Crisp, and comedian Al Franken. With anecdotes revealing what went on behind the scenes and an illuminating foreword by art writer and critic Carter Ratcliff, Bad Behavior is a fascinating and important new form of portraiture and a tribute to the creative spirit.
