8.5 (34 个评分) 作者: [法] 阎雷 译者: 杨宁 北京联合出版公司 2015 - 3
继布列松、马克·吕布和刘香成等摄影大师之后
专注拍摄中国时间最长、地域最广的西方摄影师
行走拍摄中国三十年作品首次在国内出版
【内容简介】
本书以阎雷的大型摄影集《中国》为底本,甄选并增补部分未公开发表的照片,重新编排成册,全面呈现1985—2000年间处于转型期的中国的日常生活、经济起飞和社会巨变,用镜头为整个中国创作一幅最鲜活、最富生命力的肖像。
作者对中国充满了感情,三十年间足迹踏遍中国的每一个角落,敏锐地捕捉到这个具有厚重灰色调的国度在20世纪末对变革的渴望、对新鲜事物的痴迷,通过他的视角,将新旧交替时期的种种微妙和激烈之处真实地传递出来,真实展现了那段逐渐远去的历史。
【推荐语】
16岁,我做了一个梦,梦见的是我在中国的一种生活,很神奇。1979年,中国开始改革开放,第一次签发针对个人的外国人旅游签证。我听到这个消息就睡不着觉,我要学习摄影,我要学习中文,我要拍中国改革开放。他们在叫我,我应该去。所以我来中国了。
我没有后悔这个梦。
——阎雷
以中国为主要拍摄题材的外国摄影师中,阎雷也许可以称得上是最优秀的人之一。他完全可以与他的前辈马克 •吕布比肩。

Forms of Japan 豆瓣
9.2 (5 个评分) 作者: Michael Kenna / Yvonne Meyer-Lohr Prestel 2015 - 9
This beautiful book presents a meditative, arresting, and dazzling collection of 240 black-and-white images of Japan, made over almost 30 years by the internationally renowned photographer Michael Kenna. A rocky coast along the sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and water--these are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, "Sea," "Land," "Trees," "Spirit," and "Sky." The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa, and
others, provide a contemplative portrait of a country better known for its energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa, and Shikoku.

Vivian Maier: Who Took Nanny's Pictures
9.0 (40 个评分) 导演: Jill Nicholls 演员: Alan Yentob
其它标题: Vivian Maier: Who Took Nanny's Pictures
从上世纪50年代开始,Vivian Maier就在工作之余用一台Rollei双反相机拍摄街景,直至2009年逝世,她一共留下了超过10万张胶片,完整记录下芝加哥、纽约和巴黎在过去40年中的变迁。
Vivian Maier的作品直到2007年才被人们发现,她的照片敏锐而直率地捕捉到人们所流露出的情感,城市化进程所带来的变化、不同宗教和文化群体的种种境遇,
也被她记录在胶片中。通过挖掘人们的集体记忆,Vivian Maier展现出生活中动人的一面,将再平凡不过的日常景象,转变为出色的生活纪实,
从某种意义上说,足以与William Klein、Cartier-Bresson这些当时最著名的街头摄影师比肩。
2007年在一场拍卖会上被电影制片人John Maloof拍得后重见天日,她遂被摄影界公认为是20世纪最伟大的摄影师之一。
值得一提的是,Vivian Maier生前才华横溢,却默默无闻做了40年保姆,去世后留下10万多张芝加哥街景和街头人像底片,
Vivian Maier的正式职业是一名保姆,她的所有拍摄都是在工作之外的业余时间里完成的,由于经济原因,绝大多数胶片都没有冲洗。
你不需要成为一名摄影师,一样可以成为一个出色的记录者。

9.1 (11 个评分) 作者: 罗伯特·弗兰克 史泰德出版社 2008
Robert Frank’s The Americans was first published on May 15, 1958 by Robert Delpire in Paris. It featured 83 of Frank’s photographs taken in America in 1955 and 1956, accompanied by writings in French about American political and social history selected by Alain Bosquet. Delpire’s Les Américains formed part of the Encyclopédie essentielle series, which presented foreign countries to a French audience. Each of Frank’s photographs in this edition is placed on a right-hand page, with the texts on the left-hand pages.
The first English edition of The Americans was published in 1959 by Grove Press in New York. It presented the same photographs as the Delpire edition, however a text by Jack Kerouac replaced the French writings. The book begins with Kerouac’s introduction, followed by Frank’s photographs in the same sequence as the Delpire edition. On the left-hand pages are short captions from Frank, which describe the location.
Since 1959 The Americans has been reprinted by different publishers, in multiple languages and formats. Frank has had varying influence on these editions; some were printed without his input, approval or knowledge. In July 2007 the Steidl edition of The Americans was printed. Frank was involved in every step of its design and production. The 83 photographs were scanned in tritone at Steidl’s digital darkroom from vintage prints in Frank’s collection, which revealed that many images in past editions were actually crops of the originals. For the Steidl book Frank studied and revised these crops and in many cases included the full photographs; in only a few cases the Delpire and Grove Press compositions remain.
The Steidl edition also reproduces two photographs printed from negatives different to those used for all previous editions. These photographs depict the same two subjects as in other editions (Metropolitan Life Insurance Building–New York City and Assembly Line–Detroit), but from a slightly different perspective.
Kerouac’s text and Frank’s captions remain unaltered from the Grove Press edition, the typography however was redesigned. As well as revising the book’s design, Frank also chose the paper, endpaper and book linen. He opted for a thread-stitched book, and conceived a new dust jacket made from the same paper as in the book (Xantur 170 g from Scheufelen, Germany), sealing it with a simple varnish. Frank personally oversaw printing on July 18, 2007, inspecting and approving each sheet at Steidl’s press in Göttingen.
In January 2009 the National Gallery of Art, Washington, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of "The Americans" with an exhibition that will examine both the construction of the book and the photographs themselves. All 83 photographs published in "The Americans" will be presented in the order established in the book, providing a detailed examination of the book's roots in Frank's early work and the impact on his later art.
"Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans" will be touring the following US museums:
National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. January 18–April 26, 2009
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, May 17–August 23, 2009
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, September 20–December 27, 2009

傳說中的「三不管」地帶九龍城寨,是一個傳說,是一個謎……
有將近五十年,九龍城寨這個奇特社群是位於香港中心地帶的黑暗世界。城寨沒有法律、漠視基本服務、規劃條例或建築標準,但它不但繼續存在,而且蓬勃發展。但是,在英國、中國和香港政府「三不管」的情況下,這種地方怎麼能存在於一個現代城市之中?誰會在那裏生活?為什麼?
《黑暗之城:九龍城寨的日與夜》不但收錄具份量的歷史篇章,更有俯拾皆是的精彩照片、繪畫、地圖和城寨街坊的口述故事,詳細地探討1945至1990年間城寨的急遽發展,同時研究它過去的黑暗面。城寨總給人詭異和神秘之感,是源於許多關於它的謬見,此書也會道出這些謬見背後的真相。
九龍城寨,是一個逝去的地方,在巔峰時期,曾是三萬五千多人的家,而且至今仍是世人所知人口最稠密的社區,城寨清拆二十年多後,《黑暗之城:九龍城寨的日與夜》記錄了城寨的黃金歲月與消亡,與讀者一同重新思考和認識九龍城寨這個空間和生活其中的不平凡社群,為他們留下獨特的城寨印記,撿拾城寨的凋零與茂盛。

China After Mao
9.0 (9 个评分) 作者: [美国] 刘香成 世界图书出版公司 2010 - 1
“中国是一个很大很大的故事,有无限的可能。我只能用很小很小的细节,来讲述它。”
后毛泽东时代中国人生活的视觉记录
本书收录了刘香成自1976年到1983年间驻留北京时拍摄的将近200帧照片,是改革开放初期中国人日常生活的视觉记录。彼时的中国,对毛泽东的个人崇拜结束了;工业化、现代化的时代悄然拉开序幕:西方的物质文化进入中国,人们接受着新鲜的生活方式。
刘香成的镜头抓住了社会变革的初现,许多来自日常生活中幽默与感人的画面体现了时尚与保守、舶来品与原生态并存的情景。政界领导人、知识分子、文艺界的个体影像,普通老百姓的特写,也被一一定格在画面中。这短短八年时间拍摄的照片合在一起,展现了当时的中国所走过的、从“文革”后的困境中解脱的复兴之路。拍摄这些照片的时间到现在已经30年了,今天的中国经过经济和社会改革的发展,也已经成为一个伟大的现代化国家。刘香成的照片就是中国在如此短的时间里发生翻天覆地巨变的影像记录。
这些珍贵图片最早于1983年由英国企鹅出版社出版,香港Asia 2000出版社1987年再版,同年由米兰Jaca Book出版意大利文版,第四版于1997年由M. Photo公司修订。此书是首次出版的中文版。
