The magazine's focus is to explore images created for practical purposes, in this case, the photographs used to guide solvers of jigsaw puzzles in their endeavours. These pictures, from animals, television and sports to postcard-perfect destinations, are printed on cardboard and cut into various pieces of different shapes that must be fitted together to form the whole. Usually found on the puzzle box's exterior, they are exact duplicates of the completed game - the perfect version of the puzz...

Online auction sites often show photographs where details or sections of the photograph have been covered up due to privacy and/or censorship issues. As a result sellers are forced to come up with smart and practical solutions so that the photograph conforms to privacy and censorship guidelines but still show enough of the image to interest prospective buyers. This version of 'Ein Volk ehrt seiner Führer' was purchased at an online auction. Coins were used to censor the images.

NOWHERE shows a world in which Instagrammability seems to rule; in which the new reality is dictated by the seductive image that may (later) be made of it. Architecture, design and urban landscape, directed by the mechanisms of global big business. The same antiseptic beauty, all over the world.

NOWHERE - Imagining The Global City collects photographer Frank van der Salm’s work of the past 25 years. The image of a consumer-oriented, imaginary metropolis rises from this book, designed by I...

Het werk van Peter Martens neemt binnen de Nederlandse fotografie een unieke plaats in. In 1969 werd hij als eerste fotograaf in Nederland toegelaten tot de Beeldende Kunst Regeling (BKR).

Als een van de weinige Nederlandse fotografen was Martens enkele jaren nominée van Magnum en in 1977 en 1979 won hij verschillende prijzen bij World Press Photo.

Peter Martens vestigde zich in 196...

Dordrecht is rijk aan natuurschoon zoals flora en fauna,

en vooral in de lente het fotograferen waard.

Ik heb de moeite genomen om één en ander op de gevoelige

plaat vast te leggen.De foto's heb ik met een volautomatische

camera genomen.Het fotograferen van de natuur is één van

mijn hobby's net zoals het schilderen en dichten.

Het lammetje ontbreekt niet aan het lentegevoel,

ook struiken als de forsythia en andere bloesems en dieren

zoals eenden, meerkoet en waterhoentje ontbreken er niet...

Despite our stereotypical ideas on photographic images as snapshots (slices of time), photography is fundamentally a time-based medium. The relationships between photography and time are manifold: time can be directly represented within the image, it can be its theme and philosophical horizon, but it can also represent the global framework in which photographic practices develop and change through time. It is the ambition of this book to bring together the various aspects of time in photograp...

Since the mid-nineteenth century photography has had a central place in cultural encounters within and between migrant communities. Migrant histories have been mediated through the photographic image, and the cultural practices of photography have themselves been transformed as migrant communities mobilise the photographic image to navigate experiences of cultural dislocation and the forging of new identities. Exploring photographic images and the cultural practices of photography as ‘conta...

Black Matrilineage, Photography, and Representation questions how the Black female body, specifically the Black maternal body, navigates interlocking structures that place a false narrative on her body and that of her maternal ancestors. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly inquiry and contemporary art, this book addresses these misconceptions and fills in the gaps that exist in the photographic representation of Black motherhood, mothering, and mutual care within Black communities.

Women, Art, Freedom offers an insightful look at the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising in Iran, ignited by Jina Mahsa Amini's murder under the "morality police" for violating hijab rules.

This book, rather than merely analyzing the artworks that garnered attention on social media platforms, brings to light lesser-...
