Mark Power is perhaps still best known for his early monochrome work The Shipping Forecast. But most of his later work has been in colour, on the borders between landscape and documentary. I believe his exploration of Poland in The Sound of Two Songs is his finest work yet. Most of the images can be viewed on his own site: http://www.markpower.co.uk/index.cfm?p=10321 The book has been carefully sequenced and beautifully printed and – I can only assume – substantially subsidised to be available at this price. |

Images of industrial and architectural decay seem to be very much in vogue and van Rensbergen’s first volume was a fine example of the genre. It went rapidly out of print and the second volume should sell well. I found his website a bit confusing but it gives you a flavour: http://www.abandoned-places.com/ |

A Road Divided has arrived at last. It has been well worth the wait. If anything it’s even more beautiful than Roaming, the work it most closely resembles It is however in a much larger format than Roaming – 14” by 17”. In these new pictures, Hido demonstrates his fluidity within the daytime realm, putting aside the harder edge that characterizes his night work by photographing through veils of rain or ice. Some of the images can be viewed at http://www.wirtzgallery.com |

This handsomely produced book coincides with what is, quite unbelievably for such an important photographer, the first major retrospective of Muybridge's work. The exhibition is currently coming to the end of its run at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC before heading to the UK where it will undoubtedly be one of the must-see shows of the year when it opens at Tate Britain in September. The influence of Muybridge on art, photography, cinema and science has been immense and with this volume he finally has a book worthy of his work. |

Michael Kenna's new book Venezia has now arrived in its luxurious slipcase. Containing photographs taken over a period of 30 years, this beautiful book has everything you would expect from a Michael Kenna book and from Nazraeli Press, whose reputation for elegance and care is very well deserved. The regular edition (if such a term can be applied to a Nazraeli Press book) is available now (£50) and special editions are due soon. |
