The photographic artist takes us on a journey to the most remote indigenous peoples, who live far from the civilization we know, leading a life rooted in tradition and harmony with nature.

• Ten Years in North Korea

The few countries in the world that remain so closed off that practically no one from the outside gets an insight. North Korea is certainly one of the most secluded. Ruled by the same family for generations, the dictatorship virtually prohibits any contact beyond its borders, isolating 26 million inhabitants from the rest of humanity. This is why the photo book "Waiting for the Rainbow" by Xiomara Bender is so valuable, as it engages with the Korean region in a deeply honest way.

The author portrays the lives and everyday routines of the people in this country that few have the chance to know. She seeks to draw attention to the many fates and the changes of recent years, which in this strict dictatorship are only possible in subtle micro-steps. Through her photographic journey through time, her readers can witness this transformation that brings hope. People who appear more self-assured as the book progresses, smiles that turn into laughter, clothing that gradually reflects more of fashion than uniformity. All of this is shown to us by the author in emotionally resonant images.

Bender has undertaken nine journeys to North Korea in almost ten years, bringing back this unique photo documentation. The award-winning artist aims to break through the world's culture of willful ignorance regarding North Korea with her work, and without reproach, direct attention to the unvarnished daily lives of the people living there and their state-orchestrated routines.

In addition to the touching images, the author prompts reflection through many short texts, without appearing didactic. Her language is art, opening up to those who free the way.

The calming power of the colour white

White is considered the calming force among colours. In contrast to loud red or pink, white does not feel the need to take up a lot of space, instead it elegantly reflects the coveted quiet luxury. The all-white look appears clean, elegant and timeless to minimalist, but always luxurious. Like a canvas, white allows room for creative design options in fashion. It encourages you to try out new things, possibly adding different colour accents or textures and patterns.  

Elegant additions to the "Fashion, Styles & Stories" series 

The new "Fashion, Styles & Stories" series is entering the next round. After the first illustrated books on the colours black and pink were published in spring, two more titles on red and white will now complete the stylish series in autumn, not only thematically but also visually.

• Music Caught on Camera

The 2000s are currently experiencing a well-deserved revival. Few decades in recent history have shaped as many trends that still resonate today as the years around the millennium. Not only did the 2000s leave their mark on fashion, but today's art and music scene also draw from the creativity of the stars from that era.

From epic concerts and legendary festivals to intimate backstage portraits, this magnificent book offers a unique glimpse into the carefree and joyful spirit of the early 2000s.

It covers the biggest pop superstars as well as hip-hop legends and rock icons. The author of the book is none other than Paul Bergen, who has been telling the story of music through his images since the 1980s and is considered one of the greatest music photographers of our time. He captured iconic moments with idols like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Pop, Radiohead, Nirvana, Adele, Prince, U2, and many more.

Southern flair between jazz, blues and soul: the colorful New Orleans coffee table book

Is it possible to capture the energetic, chaotic and enjoyable lifestyle of the southern states in a coffee table book? 

The unconventional photographer and artist Werner Pawlok succeeds with this colorful photography book! With his camera, he portrays New Orleans, affectionately known as "Nola" for short, in all its colorful diversity: street life between soul and blues, the colonial-style architecture so typical of Louisiana and, of course, the people who shape life in the "Big Easy". A visually stunning journey through the fun-loving jazz, blues and soul city in the south of the USA - New Orleans!

A visually stunning coffee table book in the footsteps of Cajuns and Creoles

This magnificent photo book reveals everything that makes a trip to New Orleans worthwhile: the colorful architecture of the metropolis on the Mississippi, still influenced by the colonial era, breathes the culture of the Cajuns and Creoles in Louisiana. Pawlok also immerses himself with his camera in places where the attitude to life in the southern states is more tangible than anywhere else in the USA: the bars and pubs of the French Quarter, considered the cradle of jazz, blues and soul, the lively life on the streets, colorful graffiti - and right in the middle of it all, the people of the dazzling music and art scene.

Magnificently illustrated book with a flair for photographing an attitude to life

Ever since his exhibition successes in the 1980s, Werner Pawlok, born in Stuttgart in 1953, has been able to be mentioned in the same breath as art greats such as Warhol, Richter and Mapplethorpe. His unconventional portrait photography breathes intense closeness. And whether he is tracing the spirit of the past in New Orleans' colonial-era architecture or embarking on a journey into the heart of Cajun culture in the streets of "Nola" between street art and blues bars - Pawlok's unconventional style also shapes this opulent, colorful coffee table book.

The intense power of the colour red 

Red is a symbol of passion and love and is therefore often associated with strong emotions. In fashion, the colour is used as an eye-catcher to attract attention. Anyone who wants to make a self-confident statement swears by this eye-catching colour. After all, anyone wearing a red outfit is perceived as energetic and powerful by the outside world.

A gripping and important volume of artistic wildlife photography that illustrates Nicklen's vision of truth and change through his work.

ITB Berlin BuchAward 2019 in the category travel illustrated book.

Foreword by Leonardo DiCaprio in the book.

His powerful images of iconic arctic and antarctic wildlife and scenery, coupled with his inspiring photographic storytelling, blends ethereal beauty of the icy landscape with a compelling call to action. The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen’s blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non-Inuit families in a tiny Inuit settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning important lessons on survival; how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbours had done for centuries.

Today, Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate change on the Polar Regions and their inhabitants, human and animal alike. Whether he is diving off the floe edge in the Canadian Arctic or sitting on a piece of glacial ice in Antarctica to scout for leopard seals, Paul Nicklen goes to great lengths and depths to secure his award-winning images of life in the polar regions.

This National Geographic-featured photographer and conservationist never shies away from extreme and challenging conditions as he feels urgently compelled to connect a global audience to the species and ecosystems he cares so deeply about. One of the world’s most acclaimed nature photographers, Nicklen focuses on marine wildlife and polar environments. For Nicklen, we must act now to save Earth’s delicate ecosystems and the precious diversity of life.

Combining some of his most extraordinary photographs with personal experiences — learning and inspirational — this stunning Paul Nicklen photo compendium is both a remarkable collection of nature photography and a passionate rallying cry to stand up, have a voice, and enact positive change for our planet. Text in English, German and French.

• The first book dedicated to recurring fashion phenomena
• Indispensable for all those interested in fashion
• Includes interviews with renowned fashion historians and sociologists
• Inspiration for every fashion taste: from crop tops to pleated skirts to complete denim looks

One fashion sin is another trend part. Opinions about tapered pants, shoulder pads and leopard prints may differ, but the fact is that (almost) every trend in fashion comes back at some point. So it's hardly surprising that THE pants of the 1980s - nowadays called mom jeans - are celebrating a grandiose comeback and that other parts that were thought to have long since been buried in the fashion graveyard are also experiencing amazing revivals. But how does this resurgence of past trends come about in the first place and how can you predict when a piece will be hip again?

Déjà Vu Style is dedicated to these special pieces, illuminating their history, showing celebrities who shaped the style and explaining their comeback. From the 1960s miniskirt, to the 70s crochet dress, to the 90s platform soles, to the 2000s Y2K trend, they're all brought together in this informative and entertaining fashion book. Fashion historians and vintage fashion experts provide additional exciting background knowledge. The current topic of green fashion is also taken up here, because nothing counteracts the phenomenon of fast fashion more sustainably than wearing rediscovered old fashion treasures from your mother or grandma.

• "This fun book may not be specifically dedicated to photography, but it’s an unusual and enjoyable read – and, obviously, very cool." — Black And White Photography

Cool. Whether it's a cool guy, cool sunglasses, or a cool film - the attribute 'cool', which until the early '90s was still the definitive identifier of rebellious youth culture speech, is now encountered globally and across all social classes in an almost inflationary manner."Coolness" - on the one hand today a fashion word devoid of content, on the other a self-confidently lived, late-modern individual attitude and behavioral strategy with rebellious roots against a twisted and unjust world.

Michael Köckritz gets to the bottom of the word 'coolness' with a holistic view, researches and collages history and stories, talks to interdisciplinary experts about backgrounds and developments, characteristics and criteria, identifies with you the icons and personalities that so strikingly shape our modern image of coolness. The result is an entertainingly stimulating as well as creative journey of discovery approaching the facets of a timelessly fascinating phenomenon of longing.

This reflected, precise look at the concepts of cool and coolness becomes an impressive plea for coolness as a timelessly modern, emotional experience and self-confident "attitude" that lives attractively from a refusal of bourgeois norms and not fitting in, and at the same time fascinates with a distinctly aesthetic dimension.

The tulip is undoubtedly one of the favorite flowers of Europeans. Therefore, it deserves its own title in the outstanding "Floramour" series. This series is aimed at all flower enthusiasts and dedicates a photo book specifically to one variety in a new and refreshing way. In a unique manner, authors Karin Greiner and Simone Braun manage to capture and convey the graceful character and aesthetics of the tulip in "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen".

In a magnificent homage, the photo book "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen" pays tribute to this beloved flower. In addition to beautiful photographs, this coffee table book offers its readers an engaging all-around view of this powerful ornamental plant with informative texts and detailed drawings.

Tulips are commonly considered a symbol of prosperity and luxury. In the 17th century, these floral beauties attained a particularly high status in the Netherlands and sparked a veritable tulip mania throughout Europe. At times, the flower bulbs even took on a currency-like character. Tulip breeding became a respectable endeavor, and it is hardly surprising that this led to an impressive diversity of over 4200 tulip varieties.

The informative photo book succinctly discusses the cultural history of the plant. Tulips symbolize beginnings. They are among the heralds of spring in nature and definitively mark the end of winter with their arrival. Even after being cut, they continue to grow and embody vitality like few other flowers.

For all tulip fans and flower lovers, "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen" is an inspiring portrait and a fitting gift that not only dazzles with stunning images but also boasts a wonderful visual presentation. For those who already own previous "Floramour" titles, adding "Tulips" will stylishly expand their collection.

The Fascination of Early Color Photography

In the coffee table book Autochrome, the authors present the most beautiful and important pieces from this collection in their full glory.

• "A book of photographs taken before February 2022 reveals formerly breathtaking landscapes that may never be the same." — The New York Times
  
  
• "An illustrated ode to their home, it showcases the beauty and vulnerability of Ukraine beyond the daily horrors and photographs of war." — Image (Ireland)
  
  
• "The book is an illustrated love letter to their homeland, created in the darkest of times…" — Amateur Photography

On 24 February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, Russia's war of aggression has continued with increasing ferocity and destruction. Millions of Ukrainians have fled to neighbouring European countries. Ukraine is now a country caught between two stools: on the one hand, it is striving for rapprochement with NATO and the EU; on the other hand, good relations with Russia have also always been of fundamental importance to the country.

This is a picture book about a landscape and its country, which is going through dark times and is currently moving the whole world. Here we take a look at the beauty and the integrity of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian landscape is characterized by steppes, plateaus, lowlands and mountains. The Lemurian Lake in the south of Ukraine impresses with its pink color, as it has a higher salt content than the Dead Sea. The mountain ranges of the Carpathians in the west of Ukraine captivate with their wonderful wild beauty.

The Ukrainian steppe is part of the great Eurasian steppe, which runs through several countries of Eastern Europe and used to be the home of the Cossacks. The country is also criss-crossed by numerous river courses, with the Dnieper, Donets and Dniester rivers, which flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, being among the most significant.

Unparalleled scale, out-of-this-world colors and unique landscape shots from above make this book a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape. Text in English, German and Ukrainian.

The long-awaited sequel to the “It's all about” series

Accessories are the secret weapons of the fashion world. With their help, complete outfits can be stylistically supported, transformed or complemented. A color-coordinated scarf, a beautiful belt or a skilfully placed pair of sunglasses can be perfectly used to create an “it” accent or transform a fashion classic into a surprisingly fresh look.

In the new illustrated book “Accessories” from the “It's all about” series, celebrated fashion photographer Suzanne Middlemass focuses on the secret styling stars. She invites readers to the world's biggest fashion shows and captures influencers, fashion icons, stars, designers and visitors to the shows in her refreshing street style style. Each coffee table book in the illustrated book series is dedicated to a specific theme.

However, Middlemass doesn't just want to show its readers beautiful pictures of unusual shoes, handbags, belts, scarves and jewelry. The photographs captivate with sometimes daring looks and give fashion enthusiasts bold impulses that have what it takes to become a fashion trend in the context of Fashion Week.

Suzanne Middlemass has already won her fans with her countless publications in well-known fashion and lifestyle magazines such as VOGUE, Grazia and GQ. And for all fashion victims who can't make it to one of her exhibitions, the coffee table book “It's all about Accessories” is a real enrichment. Anyone who already owns the other volumes in the series should also consider this title a must-read.

In the world of coveted fashion brands, it certainly is, and one of the most crucial at that. That's why authors Heide Christiansen and Martin Fraas have dedicated the second installment of their "Fashion, Styles & Stories" series to the theme of black. In "The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories," they showcase how expressive and powerful this color can be in the context of fashion. Black caresses, exudes elegance, and simultaneously embodies rebellion. The black sheath dress harmoniously coexists with the black biker jacket, demonstrating the versatility of this color.

Through captivating fashion photographs straight from the runways of top designers, Christiansen and Fraas explore various shades of the black look, providing readers with intriguing background stories. They present black as the underlying theme in haute couture, high fashion, and street style. Diversity and inspiration take center stage in this coffee table book.

• “striking imagery…stunning depictions” — Birdwatch
  
  
• "One need not ponder whether Birds: Poetry in the Sky is more a bird book or an art book: it fits each category. But whatever shelf it belongs on is really irrelevant – it’s enough to say that the book is magnificent." — 10,000 Birds
  
  
• "...This is photographic art of birds ‘where they live’ and where humans must watch in awe." — Wildlife Australia

The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as well. “The camera is my brush,” is how he describes his style.

His photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty speak for itself — which is why he forgoes any image editing. He was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of hummingbirds’ wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its colorful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops. Text in English and German.

In addition, comments by Andrea Zagato (CEO Zagato), Gorden Wagener (head of design Mercedes) and Stephen Bayley (journalist and design critic) are included to provide the reader with specific insider knowledge from the industry.

The coffee-table book "Black Beauties" is an exciting homage to the most beautiful sports cars of our time. Anyone who loves design, power and technology will enjoy picking up this illustrated book again and again.Text in English and German.

In her new photo book "Floramour: Wildflowers", dedicated garden enthusiast Anja Klaffenbach turns her attention to all those wildflowers we come across during walks on grassy strips, meadow sections, parking areas, or hiking trails. Often rather inconspicuous, with small flower cups, these meadow flowers add splashes of color that define spring and summer.

However, the names of these beauties are generally unknown to the observer, but Klaffenbach now puts an end to this. In her familiar affectionate style, this "Floramour" edition deals with each flower theme. The coffee table book aims to be engaging, convey botanical knowledge, and present the plants from all angles, with photos, graphics, and drawings.

Klaffenbach has succeeded brilliantly in this endeavor, resulting in a photo book that is unparalleled. Both from the outside and inside, the book conveys the beauty of our nature. Upon opening it, you are immediately put in a summer mood and can delight in the detailed and atmospheric images.

In stunning images, Klaffenbach showcases the aesthetics of field flowers, which often go unnoticed in the fast pace of everyday life.

This high-quality photo book is a perfect addition to previously published "Floramour" titles and should definitely be included in this collection. For anyone looking for an exceptionally beautiful book as a gift for devoted flower enthusiasts, one that is full of inspiration and emotion, don't hesitate to grab this one.
