Nieuwe boekentips
Bij boekhandel Selexyz Scheltema aan het Koningsplein in Amsterdam:
VII - WAR: USA.Afghanistan.Iraq
Het Magnum Opus van het fotografencollectief VII. Een kloek boek van een kilo of vier met oorlogsfoto's van de jaren na 11 september 2001, van fotografen als James Nachtwey, Christopher Anderson, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight en Christopher Morris. Het voorwoord is van Peter Howe.
War reveals the true story of what our country has faced since that fateful Tuesday in 2001. Featuring 223 photographs, insightful vignettes and three thought-provoking major essays, War is a powerful collaborative effort from VII, a cutting-edge photo agency cooperatively owned by nine elite photojournalists. The photographers of VII are used to witnessing, up close and in person, events of international turmoil. That is the duty of a photojournalist - to bear witness and to document history - and few would dispute that these photojournalists are the world's very best.
In addition to documenting the experience of 9/11, War takes an incisive look at the images from Afghanistan and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, as well as the airstrikes and US occupation of Iraq. In War, the photographers of VII have created a shockingly intimate portrait of US foreign policy and the most critical moments of American history in the beginning of the twenty-first century. What you see here will stun you.
War has received the Picture of the Year Best Photography Book and the Photo District News Best Book Selection.
Van 110,00 voor 29,95 euro. (Stevige fietstas en sterke maag aanbevolen!)
Bij New English Bookstore in de hoofdstedelijke Kalverstraat:
Peter Howe - Paparazzi
Peter Howe, bekend van hèt boek over oorlogsfotografen 'Shooting under fire', duikt ditmaal in de wereld van de paparazzo:
To be a paparazzo, you have to be thick-skinned. You're despised by your subjects, your peers, and the public, the ultimate consumers of your work. You will run foul of security guards and publicists, lawyers and the police. You will be punched and spat upon, you have any number of objects thrown at you. And you will earn a great deal of money.
Van 25,99 voor 15 euro.
