FOSTER, ELENAC INTERNATIONAL PHOTO MAGAZINE is published with the ambition of promoting debate and creativity in contemporary photography without cultural, geographical or thematic boundaries. Published twice yearly, C Photo Magazine is produced in two different editions, English/Chinese and Spanish/Japanese. With its hardback cover and 300 pages of content it in fact resembles a book more than a magazine. Laying a strong emphasis on design, it aims to replicate the white walls and neutral background of an art gallery, with no interfering text in its central pages. The publication is predominantly devoted to photography. Included within its opening pages, however, are a number of essays by renowned writers, philosophers and artists who explore a wide range of viewpoints about the role and significance of photography. C International Photo Magazine ultimately intends to create an encyclopaedia of photography, one that can be used as a source of reference for years to come.

Elena Foster (Editor) The eighth edition of "C International Photo Magazine" explores the role of photography within counter- and popular cultures. From Rock and Roll and Elvis in the 1950s to the Punk revolution of the 1970s, to today where most counter-cultural heroes seem to be weak or unrecognisable due to the constant fragmentation of information and the economic pressure faced by young people, "C Photo Issue 8" examines the constant and unpredictable evolution of movements, which, to a great extent, drew their inspiration from the struggles of minorities. Going beyond the normal reach of the publication and in order to more accurately reflect the visual landscape of popular - and counter cultures, "C Photo" presents a mixture of photography and graphic design in Issue 8. This issue includes: Peter Saville, the collection of English artist Damien Hirst, a selection of album covers and sleeves from poet John Giorno's project "Dial-a-Poem Poets", Scope/Portfolio - Adelman, Bob/Borland, Polly/Boullet, Victor/Clark, Larry/Cross, Brian/Cyr, Merri/Davidson, Bruce/Epstein, Mitch/Fuchs, Daniel and Geo/Horgan, Susie J./Insect, Paul/Oliver, Vaughan/Peterson, Charles/Ruge, Katja/Saccenti, Timothy/Spencer, Ewen, a retrospective to Andy Warhol, Oscar Marine

Ana Soler, Kaco Castro, José Andrés Santiago IglesiasEste libro no pretende entrar en los planteamientos del fotodocumentalismo intencionalmente edulcorado de los libro de viaje, ni el ambicioso proyecto de mostrar un Japon inacabable. Mas bien, y siendo humildes, nos conformamos con apuntar algunos aspectos disimulados o que no se ven de forma evidente, pero que estan imbricados hasta hacerse materia de carne y hueso en los hombres y mujeres de este pais, sus cicatrices escondidas, y su inconmesurable paciencia; en su virtuosidad en la ejecucion de cualquier tarea, en su pulcra y silenciosa contribucion a la creacion del ecosistema que son esas islas mucho mas extensas y variadas de lo que parecen, pero que contradictoriamente han sabido aunar modernidad y tradicion, para hacer de ellas un lugar especial, tecnologica y socialmente muy avanzado, y que los occidentales miramos con asombro y curiosidad infinitas. Este es un libro compuesto de imagenes, fundamentalmente, no hay apenas texto; pretende de algun modo completar una foto global hecha de sutilezas por medio de sus muchas partes interconectadas. Su multiplicidad y diversificacion son en cierto modo engañosas, ya que todas ellas corresponden a esa unica y peculiar forma de entender el universo cultural de una comunidad antropocentrada durante siglos, organizada e indumentarizada hasta en lo mas infimo. Como una isla que son, los nipones han desarrollado un modo de vivir, de vestirse, de comportarse, de elaborar sus objetos, de actuar publicamente, de establecer sus relaciones sociales, de construir, de alimentarse, de pensar y hablar, que son unicos en su belleza, funcionalidad y correccion. Su anhelo de perfeccion formal se lleva a extremos a veces increibles. Su gusto por la delicadeza de lo bello y minusculo de los detalles, en sus templos y palacios, de sus jardines, ropajes y enseres, el arte del papel, la ceramica y los muebles, contrasta con la dureza y orgullo que muestran sus costumbres mas belicosas y su modo de hacer en la guerra. Su preparacion de cuerpo y mente en el bushido, sus t&a

This book brings together a vast selection of images by Chinese photographers since 1949, giving readers a visual journey across the great People's Republic; edited by esteemed photojournalist Liu Heung Shing, longtime Associated Press correspondent and Time magazine contributor. In post-Mao China, late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping urged his one billion countrymen to "seek truth from facts." Taking its cue from Deng's overture, China today is the leading economic story of the 21st century. The process by which China navigated the path from periphery to a central position in world affairs dominates the debate about Asia and China's relationship to the western world. Pulitzer-winning photojournalist Liu Heung Shing charts the visual history of sixty years of the People's Republic (1949 to 2008), and along the way aims to illustrate its humanistic course.

The subject of this catalog, edited by Sala (modern & contemporary art, Univ. of Barcelona) and accompanying an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is turn-of-the-20th-century Barcelona and its great architectural, cultural, political, and societal changes. Coverage includes the works of dominant artists and architects (e.g., Antoni Gaudi''s Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia), notable landmarks (e.g., Els Quartes Gats, the cafe once frequented by Pablo Picasso and his bohemian circle of friends), and influences that include fin de siecle Paris, impressionism, and Norwegian artist Edvard Munch within the dynamics of the times. Art historian contributors capture the major highlights of this Catalan city''s modernist transformation in eight brief and beautifully illustrated essays. An anthology of poems and prose follows the essays and provides a sampling of Barcelona''s literary character. Readers are allowed a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes through interior photographs of their dwellings, and there are many exquisite full-page, full-color reproductions of decorative displays, architectural photographs, and poster art. An exciting chronicle of Barcelona''s rich modern history for contemporary readers; recommended for all art-book collections.

Day and night, through rain and snow, his canary yellow taxi rolls on through the energy fields of the city that never sleeps: New York City. Through the eye of his camera Bradford observes people from all corners of the world living their lives in the shadow of skyscrapers that rise up like mountains. The rain-blurred lights of Broadway, the lofty grandeur of the Empire State Building, the Avenues teeming with life. For Bradford, driving a taxi and taking photos have become a unified aesthetic whole.

"Drive-By Shootings" presents a black and white look at the stories and artistic aspects behind an obsessive hunt for images.
