Because elephants are pachyderms, a combination of two Greek roots meaning "thick skin," one might think that nothing bothers them and that they lead quiet, safe lives. Nothing could be further from the truth: elephants have been hunted and killed for their ivory tusks since antiquity. And people often ignore the calves left behind, who must now live out their lives as traumatized and fearful orphans. Wildlife photographer Joachim Schmeisser made it his mission to document the story of these abandoned baby elephants. Through his sponsorship of elephants, he came into contact with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the world's largest and most successful rescue and rehabilitation operation for orphaned elephants, headquartered in Nairobi. Professional veterinary technicians bottle feed the elephant calves until they are old enough to locate their own food. By living together with older elephant calves, they also learn the social rules governing elephant herds. After this phase is complete, the elephants are taken to one of the Trust's rehabilitation stockades before they are released back into the wild. Joachim Schmeisser followed numerous elephants through the entire process and captured fascinating pictures from their arrival at the nursery all the way to their release back into the wild. Elephants in Heaven provides a visual record of how these traumatized elephants are raised in a place that is truly heavenly for them, offering a compelling behind-the-scenes look inside an elephant nursery. The touching animal portraits also convey the devastating consequences of poaching, because for Joachim Schmeisser, it's about "beauty, fragility, transience, mindfulness, and about dignity and the equal standing of each individual."

Cuando el fotógrafo alemán Peter Lindbergh retrató a cinco jóvenes modelos en el centro de Nueva York en 1989, creó no sólo la emblemática portada de enero de 1990 para la versión británica de Vogue, sino que firmo el certificado de nacimiento de las supermodelos. La imagen no se limito a reunir por primera vez cinco rostros venerados, sino que marco el inicio de una nueva era en la moda y una nueva manera de comprender la belleza femenina.Coincidiendo con una importante retrospectiva en el Kunsthal de Roterdam (Paises Bajos), este libro recopila mas de 400 fotografias tomadas por Lindbergh a lo largo de cuatro decadas para rendir homenaje a su capacidad unica y revolucionaria de narrar historias. Sus inconfundibles imagenes monocromaticas, sobrias y seductoras al mismo tiempo, incorporaban un toque romantico y descriptivo que aporto una nueva vision y talento artistico al mundo de la moda y el arte.Considerado un pionero de la fotografia, introdujo un nuevo realismo al redefinir los estandares de belleza con imagenes intemporales. Ya sean retratos o poeticas composiciones de figuras y paisajes, sus creaciones utilizan un lenguaje cinematografico y juegan con arquetipos femeninos en los que sus modelos adoptan poses de bailarinas, actrices, heroinas o mujeres fatales. Ademas, Lindbergh confiere a la fotografia un enfoque humanistico, priorizando la belleza natural y autentica, en un momento en el que predominan los retoques, captando el espiritu y la personalidad tanto como el aspecto fisico y rindiendo homenaje a la elegancia y la sensualidad de las mujeres maduras.Como prueba de la gran reputacion de Lindbergh en el mundo de la moda, sus imagenes van acompañadas de comentarios de colaboradores de la talla de Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicole Kidman, Grace Coddington, Cindy Crawford y Anna Wintour, quien eligio a Lindbergh para que realizara a fotografia de su primera portada del Vogue estadounidense. Los elogios explican por que las imagenes de Lindbergh son unicas y tan poderosas.

From majestic glaciers to vast frozen plains as far as the eye can see, ice is just as important to the world's ecosystems as water, air, and trees. And yet its presence and vital role on Earth is increasingly threatened by the effects of global warming and population growth - the inspiration behind French photographer Laurent Baheux's latest endeavor, Ice is Black. Through breathtaking black-and-white images, Baheux captures the world's most beautiful icy landscapes and the fascinating animals that inhabit them. We get close to creatures and landscapes that seem to be taken out of time. Taken in such far-flung lands as Norway, Iceland, and Canada, Baheux's images present polar bears and their cubs, foxes frolicking in snow, and seals navigating icy waters. While the photographs convey evocative beauty, they also act as a call to action to protect these magnificent icy lands and the creatures that rely on them. AUTHOR: Laurent Baheaux is a French nature photographer and activist who is the author of The Family Album of Wild Africa, published by teNeues in 2015. In addition to the consciousness-raising that is inherent in his photographic work, he accompanies and supports the deeds of organisations such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) that work for the protection of nature and the preservation of biodiversity. His mission is to inspire those who witness his works not only to marvel at them, but also to take action. SELLING POINTS: ? A comprehensive survey of Arctic landscapes and wildlife ? The perfect gift for anyone with an interest in animals, landscapes, nature photography, and adventure travel ? A visual journey that presents natural beauty alongside a call to action to protect these environments 125 duotone photographs

VENICE

Strong women, accentuated by their beauty and sensuality, are the hallmark of fashion photographer Daniella Midenge. Her pictures evoke intimacy and passion, beyond the outer shell. Black-and-white or color, her photos have an incredible power of expression that draws the eye of men and women alike. Her unique style still shows the influence of photography greats like Peter Lindbergh and Herb Ritts. But, as a woman and a model herself, Daniella Midenge is at home both behind and in front of the camera, informing her art direction, staging, and hair and makeup - all of which she does herself. It's no wonder she is reluctant to let others handle the processing of her photographs. A creative family, her love of high-concept fashion photos in old glossy magazines, and her work as a makeup artist all contributed to the many twists and turns on Midenge's path to photography. But after her first contact with a camera, she never looked back. For the first time, Daniella Midenge's best work is collected in a single volume: one that will leave you wanting to see more. AUTHOR: Daniella Midenge was born in Stockholm in 1982. After completing her degree with a concentration in photography, film, and advertising at the Riddarfjardsskolan, she worked in a studio for the restoration of oil paintings before starting a new career as a makeup artist. Because of her contact with fashion photography, Daniella Midenge quickly developed a strong interest in the artistic and conceptual creation of photoshoots - with great success: her first cover for Marie Claire followed in 2010. She was soon able to add other illustrious magazines to her portfolio including Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and GQ. Her customer base is still expanding as major companies like H and M, Guess and Swarovski now have her do their fashion campaigns. In addition, she is also a successful model herself; she was on the cover of Elle and in Playboy. After a few years in Berlin, Daniella now lives in Los Angeles. SELLING POINT: The photography of Daniella Midenge is the perfect symbiosis of artistic photography, erotic appeal, and an unforgettable signature style 120 colour and b/w photographs

Una obra tan rica y una vida tan intensa como las del fotógrafo Jean Marie del Moral merecían ser contadas por él mismo. En este sentido, eran enormes las posibilidades que ofrecía un libro de conversaciones como el que el lector tiene entre las manos. Del Moral es un hombre locuaz y culto, y, aunque cree que sus fotos hablan por sí mismas, no se muestra receloso a la hora de contar, opinar, argumentar y expresarse. En total fueron quince horas de conversaciones grabadas, que tuvimos en su casa de Ses Salines, en Mallorca, a lo largo de distintas jornadas. El lector se va a encontrar a un Del Moral que rememora su vida, reflexiona sobre su trabajo y da claves para entenderlo mejor, cuenta anécdotas que le han marcado, recupera y compara experiencias personales y profesionales de diversa índole… El resultado es un libro que funciona, a la vez, como el relato de la vida, el retrato del carácter y el análisis de la obra de un fotógrafo apasionado y excepcional. (Del preámbulo de Pere Antoni Pons.)
