"You tap a piece of paper and it makes a very specific sound. It's part of the experience of holding a book." -Gerhard Steidl

Andrew Savulich started getting his photographs into the Daily News around 1980. “Back when I started,” he recalls, “there wasn’t much use of freelancers — the union was pretty tight. The only way you could get in to sell stuff was to bring in something on spec, and that usually meant spot news.”
The 10 Best New Photography Books of Summer 2015 | American Photo
This ambitious project comprises two books in a slipcover, both comprehensive surveys of Rio de Janeiro from prolific photographers in different centuries. Part one presents the imagery of Brazilian native Ferrez, who documented Rio in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the vibrant city emerged within its naturally splendid environs. Part two gathers recent Polidori photographs showing the continuing majesty as well as the congestion and poverty of modern Rio, from its grand vistas to its dense favelas. What's most striking are the similarities: Both bodies of work feature large-format panoramas (with zig-zag image combos; no photo-stitching here) and breathtaking views of burgeoning urbanity in a glorious landscape.

“This Is The House That Jack Built” is a book named after a nursery rhyme, a cumulative tale of a string of events in which, despite the repetitive mentions of his home, we never learn who Jack is. The subject of the book is the world-class collection of contemporary art assembled by the Hoffmann-La Roche heiress Maja Hoffmann, who would prefer, like Jack, to remain behind the scenes.

Walker Evans: The Magazine Work by David Campany in Life.com
Walker Evans was never one to bow to authority. A photographer celebrated for his landmark work with the Depression-era Farm Security Administration, he fostered a reputation as a rebel and contrarian, determined to make work that he believed answered to a calling nobler than press, propaganda or politics. Evans was an artist.

Manicomio by Raymond Depardon featured in Feature Shoot
“One afternoon, I heard someone shouting and pushed open a door. I found myself face to face with this man in a cage. I had misgivings about photographing him. I asked a nurse why he was given this particular treatment; he told me the man was violent and a danger, especially to himself.” From “Manicomio,” published by Steidl.

Walker Evans: The Magazine Work by David Campany featured in Eye Magazine
Walker Evans is one of the most highly regarded photographers of the twentieth century. Yet one side of his work has always been downplayed and overlooked: his work for magazines, most of which has remained unknown.

England/Scotland 1960 by Bruce Davidson featured in The Telegraph
Bruce Davidson was in his late twenties when 1960 rolled around; his feet planted that little too far into adulthood to feel the full force of its swing. That year, he arrived in London on commission for Queen magazine, exchanging his one-room apartment in Greenwich Village for a bed and breakfast in London’s Bayswater, where they greeted him with a towel and a bar of soap, and a shilling to put in the radiator.

Early Black & White by Saul Leiter featured in The New Yorker Photo Booth
Saul Leiter lived in an apartment on a quiet street in New York’s East Village, a neighborhood that evolved, during the six decades he lived there, nearly as much as Leiter himself. An undervalued photographer for most of his life, Leiter quietly amassed a body of work that has only recently begun receiving the credit it deserves. Since his death, last fall, the apartment has become Leiter’s de facto archive; Margit Erb, his gallery representative, and Anders Goldfarb, his long-time assistant, have spent months organizing the boxes of prints, negatives, portfolios, and books that he left haphazardly piled throughout the space.

Afghan Gold by Luke Powell featured in StyleZeitgeist
It has taken years to produce Afghan Gold, the new photography tome from Steidl publishing, what with exacting natures of both Luke Powell, the photographer, and Gerhard Steidl, the publisher. But the result, an outstanding, slip-cased two-volume set, is a testament to the notion that some things are worth waiting for.

Robert Adams's The Place We Live featured in The Guardian
For 45 years, Adams has photographed the American west, its prairies, skies and rivers, its creeping suburbs, highways and malls. He has recorded the epic natural beauty and palpable silence, and the defilement of that beauty by industrialisation, consumerism and pollution. His vision is essentially humane and thus old-fashioned, and both his pictures and writing – he has published several illuminating books of essays – are characterised by a sense of purpose you do not much encounter in photography any more.
