You may not know his name, but you’ve seen his work. Co Rentmeester—Dutch-American, Olympic rower turned visionary photographer—is the eye behind some of the most iconic images of our time. His shot of Michael Jordan helped shape what would become the legendary Nike logo (though the brand won’t admit it). His haunting Vietnam War photos inspired Francis Ford Coppola while making Apocalypse Now and with more LIFE Magazine covers to his name than any other photographer, Rentmeester’s impact is undeniable. This book is a bold dive into Rentmeester’s extraordinary archive—showcasing a photographer who defied categories and redefined visual storytelling. Artistic. Gritty. Creative. Commercial. Timeless.

In 1981—just three years after skateboards first arrived in Germany from the USA—Helge Tscharn began to photographically document the dawn of German skateboarding history. Being part of the scene himself, Tscharn captured every phase of German skateboarding with his signature style: the raw beginnings of the 1980s, heavily influenced by the punk rock movement, were immortalized in grainy black-and-white shots, while color film and the occasional fisheye lens came into use in the era of hip-hop and 90s streetwear. Over the course of his career, he not only witnessed talent come and go, but also the rise of the stars of the skateboarding world—and often their tragic downfall.

Tscharn was always there, always in the thick of it, accompanying the indie and emo wave of the 2000s, the DIY culture of the 2010s, and of course, the present, which embraces and reinterprets all these influences. His photos, spanning over 40 years, exude the sweat and blood of the riders in every grain and appear like time capsules with an unmistakable feel for the moment.

With portraits of: Lance Mountain, Jim Greco, Sonic Youth, Pantera, Motorhead, Marc Gonzales, Tom Penny, Prodigy, Aphex Twin and others.

Travel today is fast, comfortable, and accessible to many. But between the 17th and early 19th centuries, it was a privilege reserved for the elite. Young British aristocrats would embark on a Grand Tour as the final stage of their education. Italy was the highlight of this cultural journey, with visits to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Mount Vesuvius. Along the way, they admired art and architecture, forged connections, and refined their taste—often returning home with artworks and souvenirs to adorn their country estates.

It wasn’t just young men who traveled; entire families journeyed across Europe in grand entourages. What inspired them to set out, which routes did they take, and what treasures did they bring back?

This book explores those journeys and presents a remarkable selection of artworks brought home from three of England’s finest stately homes: Holkham Hall, Burghley House, and Woburn Abbey.

Hear from some of the biggest figures who, from inside the car, the pit lane, or around the track, have experienced everything that makes Formula 1 what it is today.

Gered Mankowitz is among the most important, prolific and hard-working photographers of the last century. Timed for release on the eve of his 80th birthday, Photographs is his most comprehensive book yet, encompassing 65 years of an illustrious career from 1960-2025, with classic, rare and never-before-seen imagery. Mankowitz made a name for himself in London’s burgeoning Swinging Sixties scene. A session with Marianne Faithfull led to him working with The Rolling Stones as their official photographer throughout the mid-60s, and he went on to capture music legends from Jimi Hendrix and The Yardbirds to Elton John and Kate Bush. Mankowitz never stopped growing as an artist, taking promotional shots of movie stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, creating prize-winning advertising imagery for clients from Heineken to British Rail, shooting emerging artists, and publishing numerous books of his work. With accompanying text from the photographer, a natural storyteller, Gered Mankowitz: Photographs reveals an artist in constant conversation with his medium, adapting his craft and remaining relevant in an ever-evolving industry.

In the 1970s and ’80s, the Cannes Film Festival was more than a red carpet — it was a spectacle of freedom, fame, and excess. Photographer Ole Christiansen was there, camera in hand, capturing a time when the world’s biggest stars mingled with dreamers, directors, and the beautiful chaos of the Côte d’Azur.

Cannes unfolds a visual story from an era when the festival was still intimate, wild, and gloriously unfiltered. Christiansen’s lens brings us close to icons like Grace Jones, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, and many others — not as distant celebrities, but as part of a living, breathing scene of glamor, sun, and seduction. Through rare, candid, and often daring photographs, the book celebrates a time when film, fame, and freedom collided — when the nights were long, the parties endless, and the line between cinema and life seemed to disappear in the glow of the Riviera.

Brigantinas by Nicola Lo Calzo is a poetic and political journey through Sardinia’s landscapes of resistance. The book weaves together photography, archival research, and historical reflection to uncover a genealogy of struggles—from 19th-century peasant revolts to contemporary feminist and environmental movements. Lo Calzo approaches the island not as a postcard of identity, but as a living archive of dissent and re-appropriation. Through his lens, Sardinian women—peasants, activists, mythic figures—emerge as central protagonists of an alternative narrative, where land, body, and memory intersect. Both critical and lyrical, Brigantinas questions the mechanisms through which tradition and power shape representation, while celebrating collective resilience and the subaltern imagination. The result is a powerful counter-history of Sardinia—rooted in its past, urgent in its present, and universal in its call for dignity and self-determination.

Becoming a parent is not only about joy, happiness, and fulfillment. It can also trigger anger, despair, exhaustion, fear, and pain, as photographer Janine Bächle demonstrates in her long-term, autobiographical project, Becoming Parents. Bächle documented her pregnancy with an unvarnished lens, breaking taboos by showing unfiltered bodily details and functions. Through her sensitive yet shockingly honest photographs, Bächle documents her everyday family life, the changes in her body, and the emotional spectrum of becoming a parent. She deliberately sees her project as a realistic counterpoint to the romanticized images in relevant guidebooks and the perfect portrayals on social media. In addition to making care work visible, the book shows the struggle with feelings such as aggression, sadness, and fundamental doubts about parenthood. By juxtaposing her photographs with diary entries, lab results, and birth records, the narrative oscillates between control and collapse. The result is an indissoluble tension between image, word, and document that captivates viewers and allows them to experience the intensity and vulnerability of becoming a parent.
