Warren Ellis (illus Darick Robertson & Rodney Ramos)

The ninth volume of the Transmetropolitan series, this book combines dark humor with biting cynicism to portray journalist Spider Jerusalem's one-man crusade against the duplicitous President Callahan in a not too distant future. With all of his evidence destroyed, Spider desperately tracks down a drug-addicted prostitute who possesses physical proof of the President's corrupt practices and secret assassinations. But with Callahan declaring martial law in the city and Spider suffering from an advancing degenerative brain disease, time may have just run out on the violent journalist's quest to expose the truth.

Don McCullin
Published by:
jonathan cape
Don McCullin has held many exhibitions over the years, including his first landmark show at the V&A in London nearly thirty years ago. As the greatest war photographer of his time, it is no surprise that his work is the subject of a huge exhibition currently being organized by the Imperial War Museum. The exhibition will open at the museum's Manchester site in February 2010, where it will run for a few months and then open at the London museum a year later. The accompanying book will be a departure from the usual format of MCullin publishing and will be sized to match the original "Sunday Times Magazine", where so much of his work first appeared. Focusing on his important stories, the book will trace his entire career. McCullin has been interviewed on film for many hours for this project and the edited transcriptions of those interviews will form much of the substance of his text. McCullin's little known colour work will be reproduced ...

Surreal Digital Photography

NZ$ 85.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Barry Huggins & Ian Probert
Published by:
Delmar Learning
"Surreal Digital Photography" covers the use of digital imaging software to turn digital photographs into artistic works through montage or colour enhancements. It demonstrates the techniques involved through practical projects, many of which produce a "surrealist" end result. The book is broken down to cover landscape, portrait, and studio photography, and the methods involved can be used to create amazing results from any digital photos. Creative showcase sections also highlight the best work from dynamic digital artists, with breakdowns to show the behind-the-scenes work. The book combines practical techniques with a more artistic approach to digital imaging, where it's not just about fixing problems or creating realistic results, but about exercising the imagination and being more playful with your photography.

On This Earth : Photographs from East Africa
order quantity
NZ$ 105.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Nick Brandt
Published by:
Chronicle Books
This is a vision of Africa quite unlike any that have come before: photographs of wildlife as Fine Art.
Nick Brandt depicts the animals of East Africa with an intimacy and artistry unmatched by other photographers who choose wildlife as their subject. The pictures in
On This Earth
portray a world of drama and poignancy, where the very souls of the animals seem to be revealed to us. Brandt creates these majestic photos - whether of moments of quintessential stillness or bursts of dramatic action - by engaging with these animals on an exceptionally intimate level, without the customary use of a telephoto lens. Evocative of classical art, from dignified portraits to sweeping natural tableaux, Brandt artfully and simply captures animals in their natural state of being. With a foreword by acclaimed novelist Alice Sebold and an introduction by Jane Goodall,

Tim Herd
Published by:
Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
A magical, illustrated tour of nature's wondrous, almost supernatural sky, "Kaleidoscope Sky" reveals the beauty - and the science - behind Earth's rarest, most unusual celestial phenomena. For centuries, the sky has provided a spectacular show with bright, quiet sunrises and fiery red sunsets, the wispy, whimsical patterns of clouds passing overhead, or the violent thrill of lightning flashing at night.In "Kaleidoscope Sky", author Tim Herd explains to the armchair voyager the conditions that produce these everyday phenomena, as well as rarer sights including auroras, halos, mirages, arcs and even moonbows (night-time rainbows often too faint to capture on film). Although the subject is complex, Herd provides a clear, accessible guided tour of the fleeting, ephemeral works of art that populate the heavens' own natural museum. Herd's nontechnical treatment reveals his own appreciation for (and wonder at) the awesome and wonderful ...

Jane Bown
Published by:
Guardian Newspapers Ltd
Jane Bown has been taking portraits for the "Observer" for sixty years; anyone who has picked up the paper will be aware of her extraordinary talent. Working almost exclusively in black and white and with natural light, she produces astonishingly candid photographs that reveal the private side of her famous subjects. She works quickly, unobtrusively and decisively, often snatching great pictures in impossible circumstances, and she has an unerring instinct for capturing the telling moment, even in the midst of a media scrum or rushed in mid-interview. This new collection not only presents Jane's well-known shots, it also goes behind the scenes to reveal unpublished pictures - the ones that hit the newsroom floor. At every shoot, Jane took numerous wonderful studies, but the 'definitive' image was usually chosen by the picture editor, sometimes on the basis of something as arbitrary as how much space was available on the page. In ...

Photographer Andrew Zuckerman's strikingly detailed images of animals from around the world are as delightful as they are inspiring.

A personal book full of real-world wisdom and incredible images, author David duChemin (of pixelatedimage.com) shows you both the how and the why of finding, chasing, and expressing your vision with a camera to your eye.
