The celebrated photographer Richard Phibbs, known for his celebrity portraits and iconic ad campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and more, has an unwavering eye for beauty. Many theorists argue that beauty is subjective, a product of individual preference, but the images from Phibbs’ archive of work from 1997–2009, edited, sequenced, and collected in Chasing Beauty, may put that argument to rest.
“Sometimes things cannot be expressed in words—that’s what is so expressive, emotional, or revealing about a photograph. Just look and enjoy it. It reveals that exact fleeting moment in time—that’s all. When I lose my breath a bit, I know that’s the picture.” – Richard Phibbs

A good photographer is nothing without a model — a simple fact, and US photographer Rick Day is surely aware of it. Well, the models in his new photo book PIONEERS, published by Bruno Gmünder, are beyond great. With passion and discipline they shaped their bodies till you can examine the muscle structure of the male body. But looking at them requires extreme self‐control, if you want to focus on the anatomy instead of rhapsodizing about Day’s marvelous models.
While in his first photo book PLAYERS, which became an international bestseller, Day portrayed sportsmen in very simple settings he now presents a series of stunning outdoor shoots. Whether rocks, the desert, or the sea Day has his men fight the elements — unique images full of energy. Even in the town house these hunks are incredibly hot eye‐ catchers.

Featuring Max and a loving, stuffed tiger, “Love… Hate… Nature… (Max)” is the Jeremy Kost’s first book. Published by the International Center of Photography the book is limited to 150 numbered copies and each includes a signed original inkjet print.
“The unguarded intimacy that characterizes Jeremy’s work is portrayed in this series of 62 images taking the viewer on a voyeuristic romp packed with erotic wallop. Jeremy chooses to work with a Polaroid camera, this obsolescent device is less furtive than the digital cameras of more recent vintage, and seems to disarm people with its promise of an immediately tangible picture. Kost enjoys working within the Polaroid’s technical restrictions which limits his control and results in the images marred by uneven luminosity and fuzzy contours.”
