Whitebaiters Never Lie : Exploring an Iconic Kiwi Culture

Hardback

Author: Anita Peters & Murray Hedwig

Published by: David Bateman Ltd

144pp 4x4 colour hardback
Published to coincide with the opening of the whitebait season, this book documents and celebrates the characters who catch that most-prized Kiwi food - the whitebait. Whitebaiters are a breed apart, and photographers Anita Peters and Murray Hedwig have spent over three years travelling the country talking to and photographing New Zealanders about their passion, and documenting the, at times, complex unwritten 'rules' that surround it. With an opening essay (and a few recipes) from Keri Hulme.

White's Aviation : Classic New Zealand aerial photography

order quantity

NZ$ 60.00 each

Paperback

Author: John Sullivan, Ross Ewing & Sarah Ell (photography Whites Aviation)

Published by: Godwit

This magnificent book contains a selection of more than 200 images of New Zealand from the air. Taken from the White's Aviation collection at the Alexander Turnbull Library, these images of towns, cities, landforms and events were taken from the 1930s to the 1970s, and show a landscape still familiar in some cases and changed beyond recognition in others. These stunning black and white images represent an important phase in New Zealand's aviation, aerial photography and publishing industries, and are fascinating to look at. They combine historical interest with that natural curiosity of seeing recognisable landforms and places from a completely different perspective. The selection of images is accompanied by historical background on aviation pioneer Leo White and his company, the history of aerial photography and the White's Aviation publishing phenomenon.

New Zealand Landscapes (with audio-CD)

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Mixed-media pack

Author: Grant Sheehan & Rhian Sheehan

Published by: Phantom House Books

Voted one of the top five places to visit in the world by Lonely Planet, the geographical diversity and startling beauty of New Zealand lures photographers and film makers as well as tourists.
"If locations were awarded Oscars, New Zealand would scoop the lot," as a movie reviewer remarked.
This book is a photographic celebration of that diverse and very often impressive landscape. Grant Sheehan has recorded his own camera views from Northland to Stewart Island and beyond, to New Zealand's Antarctic territory and her islands in the Southern Ocean. From the road, from the air and at sea, the tranquility and scope of open often remote spaces are captured.

The scenery and wildlife shown here underlines why New Zealand is consistently on the global 'must-see' list.
And as an extra dimension, the images have been given a striking soundtrack by musician Rhian Sheehan. The audio-CD is included on the facing page.

White Silence : Grahame Sydney's Antarctica

NZ$ 115.00 each

Hardback

Author: Grahame Sydney

Published by: Viking (New Zealand)

This outstanding collection of photographs from one of New Zealand's most pre-eminent artists, Grahame Sydney, pays homage to the Antarctic landscape. At the invitation of Antarctica New Zealand, Sydney travelled to Antarctica in November-December 2003, and again in October 2006. His photographs reveal an extraordinary terrain that is solemn, sparse and poised with a magnificent stillness. Exploring a continent that appears at first glance to be devoid of colour, warmth or comfort, each image celebrates the rare flashes of astonishing beauty that can be found in the bleakest, most inhospitable region of Earth.

Peter Peryer, Photographer

order quantity

NZ$ 60.00 each

Paperback

Author: Peter Peryer with Peter Simpson

Published by: Auckland University Press

Peter Peryer is one of New Zealand's leading contemporary photographers. Peryer is also an innovative photographer, constantly refining his photographic practice, notably with his embrace of digital photography from 1998 and increasing interest in colour.
Peter Peryer: Photographer includes a section of eighty photographs, the largest body of Peryer's work yet assembled, personally selected by the photographer. A wide-ranging introduction to Peryer's work, by Peter Simpson, and an illustrated autobiographical essay by Peryer himself are also included. Interested in doubles, pattern and repetition, problems of scale, the surreal and the grotesque, Peryer's work most often focuses on the 'thingness' of his subjects and objects. Here are whitebait, shells, two goats, a Meccano bus, a 'sand shark', planes and a windsock, as well as a Moeraki boulder, the trig on Rangitoto and the Alexandra clock. Rich in lovingly examined bits ... more

order quantity

NZ$ 125.00 each

Hardback

Author: Laurence Aberhart (Photos) & Gregory O'Brien (Essays) & Justin Paton (Essays)

Published by: Victoria University Press

Laurence Aberhart has been at the forefront of New Zealand photography since the late 1970s, and is recognised as a major international figure. Like the paintings of Colin McCahon — an artist with whom Aberhart is frequently paired — his photographs are a sustained meditation on time, place and cultural history. They are also virtuoso pieces of photographic craft.

This book is a landmark in New Zealand art publishing. In a definitive overview of Laurence Aberhart’s work to date, 240 full-page reproductions of iconic photographs of churches, marae, cemeteries, Masonic Lodges and other subjects are accompanied by illuminating essays by leading New Zealand art writers Gregory O'Brien and Justin Paton. O’Brien pursues the motif of the horizon through Aberhart’s work, considering the many journeys that his career encompasses and the shelters and structures seen along the way, while Paton focuses on the human presences that quietly ... more

A Short History of Photography

NZ$ 45.00 each

Hardback

Author: Harvey Benge with Gerry Badger

Published by: Godwit

While looking through his contact sheets in 2007 Auckland photographer Harvey Benge noticed that one of his pictures reminded him of a Friedlander, another of an Atget, yet others of a Tillmans, a Baldessari and Adams ! Picking them out he decided to make what leading UK photography critic Gerry Badger describes in his opening essay as an 'anthology' of contemporary photography featuring some of its biggest names. The result is a sharply curated and perfectly formed collection of intriguing, beguiling and seductive images, sure to delight the photography aficionado and newcomer alike. 'Of course they are all genuine original Benges. And it is important that they are all good pictures, not mere pastiches of the "originals" of which they gently but insistently remind one.'
