Shoot for the moon
Tim Walker's monograph 'Story Teller', published by Thames & Hudson, introduced audiences to this unique photographer's fantastical, magical worlds, conjured anew with each shoot. But every point must have its counterpoint, day its night, light its dark; creativity is no different. Shoot for the Moon, Walker's much anticipated followup, draws audiences close to reveal fantasy's other, darker side. 0Delving deep into the art and mind of one of the most exciting and original fashion photographers working today, Shoot for the Moon showcases the gamut of Walker's weird, wild Wonderlands. In images that demand to be read as art as much as fashion, his signature opulence and decadent eccentricity encroach ever further beyond the `real', exploring the mysteries of imagination and inspiration, and where it is they come from. 0Dazzlingly designed to a lavish spec, with images featuring some of the biggest names in fashion and contemporary culture, and texts and commentary by a collection of noteworthy contributors as well as Walker himself, 'Shoot for the Moon' is set to be an unmissable addition to the lexicon of fashion photography.

A Conversation with Joyce Tenneson
DT: [...]you moved to New York, all your work was in black-and-white; in fact, you were known for the unusual effects you got in that medium. In the first of your works in color, the tonal range is fairly limited, along with the intensity of the hues, but in the most recent works, where you bring in your \"light writing,\" the colors are more pronounced and there's much more of a contrast between light and dark.

Girl on girl : art and photography in the age of the female gaze /
A new generation of female artists is emerging who have grown up in a culture saturated with social media and selfies. This book looks at how young women are using photography and the internet to explore issues of self-image and female identity, and the impact this is having on contemporary art. Forty artists are featured, all of whose principal subject matter is either themselves or other women. Each is accompanied by a short profile based on personal interviews with the author, giving a fascinating insight into this exciting shift in female creativity.

Sexual Privacy
Those who wish to control, expose, and damage the identities of individuals routinely do so by invading their privacy. People are secretly recorded in bedrooms and public bathrooms and \"up their skirts.\" Such images are used to coerce people into sharing nude photographs and filming sex acts under the threat of public disclosure. People's nude images are posted online without permission. Machine-learning technology is used to create digitally manipulated \"deep fake\" sex videos that swap people's faces into pornography. Each of these abuses is an invasion of sexual privacy–the behaviors, expectations, and choices that manage access to and information about the human body, sex, sexuality, gender, and intimate activities. Most often, women, nonwhites, sexual minorities, and minors shoulder the abuse. Sexual privacy, this Article contends, is a distinct privacy interest that warrants recognition and protection. It serves as a cornerstone for sexual autonomy and consent. It is foundational to human dignity and intimacy, and its denial results in the subordination of marginalized communities. Traditional privacy law is increasingly insufficient to protect this interest. Its efficacy is eroding just as digital technologies magnify the scale and scope of the harm. The Article suggests a new approach to protecting sexual privacy that focuses on law and markets. Law should provide federal and state penalties for all types of sexual-privacy invasions, remove the statutory immunity from liability for certain content platforms, and work in tandem with hate-crime laws. Market efforts should be pursued if they enhance the overall privacy interests of all involved.

Helmut Newton : frames from the edge
Strong women in provocative poses, confident, mysterious – in Helmut Newton’s photography, the lines between art and pornography are blurred. Whether fashion, portraiture or nudes, Newton’s dramatically staged, voyeuristic shots are also reflections of Western society. In 1988, Adrian Maben visited the star photographer in his adopted home in Monte Carlo and accompanied him to photo sessions in Los Angeles, Berlin and Paris. On these trips, he caught rare glimpses of the artist’s private life and work. Stars like Karl Lagerfeld and Catherine Deneuve recount what it was like to work with one of the most sought-after photographers of the 20th century.

Framing innocence : a mother's photographs, a prosecutor's zeal, and a small town's response
Ten years ago, amateur photographer and school bus driver Cynthia Stewart dropped off eleven rolls of film at a drugstore in Ohio. The rolls contained photographs of her eight-year-old daughter Nora, including two of the child in the shower--photos that would cause the county prosecutor to arrest Cynthia, take her away in handcuffs, threaten to remove her daughter from her home, and charge her with crimes that carried the possibility of sixteen years in prison. The disturbing case would ultimately attract national attention, including stories in USA Today and on NPR. Written by poet Lynn Powell, a neighbor of Cynthia Stewart's, this story plumbs the perfect storm of events and people that threatened an ordinary family in a small American town.--From publisher description.

A complete strip-off
From 1 to 29 Sep 1911 Vanessa and Clive Bell and their children stayed in Studland on the coast of Dorset. They had stayed there three times before--in Sep 1909, March-April 1910, and Sep-Oct 1910. On all four occasions Virginia Stephen too stayed in Studland, although only on the second of them, when her mental state was shaky and the Bells took her away for a break, did she stay in the same house. Here, Smith described how Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry had fallen in love during a visit to Turkey with Clive Bell and Harry Norton in the spring of 1911. On their return to England, Vanessa and Roger saw one another as often as they could, but not as often as they wished. The existence of photography by Roger and photographs taken at Studland of Roger and Vanesse in the nude is discussed.
