This is perhaps the key purpose of reportage and documentary; those twin genres can offer viewers a sense of empathy that helps us to connect with one another and assist us in witnessing events and people whom we may not otherwise encounter. It takes a special collection of images to give us some sense of place within the universe, and that\u2019s what we find with <em>Expanding Universe<\/em>. The images collected within this book all come from the Hubble Space Telescope, a feat of engineering that has not only helped astronomers get a better picture of the building blocks of the cosmos, but has also offered us a humbling account of just how small our place within the universe is. <em>Expanding Universe<\/em> is a gorgeous volume. Each image is, in the original sense of the word, awesome. There are not many books that can be said to leave you breathless, but this is certainly one of them.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67217\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg\" alt=\"Lois-Greenfield\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg?resize=300,352 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg?resize=341,400 341w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg?resize=900,1057 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Lois-Greenfield.jpg?resize=562,660 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>Lois Greenfield: Moving Still<\/h2>\n<h3>by William A Ewing, Thames &amp; Hudson, \u00a339.95, hardcover, 224 pages, ISBN 978-0-50051-805-2<\/h3>\n<p>You may be unfamiliar with Lois Greenfield\u2019s work. If so, you\u2019re in luck, not just because of the publication of this first new monograph in 17 years, but also because you are about to discover one of the most fascinating bodies of work around today. Greenfield has been shooting for 40 years and her career has found her being lauded as the pre-eminent photographer of contemporary dance. Greenfield\u2019s images are notable for the sheer beauty of their execution. Each frame exudes elegance and passion. The forms of the dancers are perfectly captured as they spring mid-air against minimalist backdrops. There are very few photographers who could make this process look so effortless, yet Greenfield pulls it all together like a master.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67220\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg\" alt=\"Blue-Ice_cover\" width=\"1000\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg?resize=300,245 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg?resize=489,400 489w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg?resize=900,736 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Blue-Ice_cover.jpg?resize=562,460 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>Blue Ice<\/h2>\n<h3>by Alex Bernasconi, Papadakis, \u00a330, hardcover, 204 pages, ISBN 978-1-90650-658-2<\/h3>\n<p>Just outside our own planet we\u2019re beginning to see that Mars, as well as a host of other planets, carry qualities that are rather similar to our own home world. The presence of water is a thrilling development in our quest to understand our galaxy, but that\u2019s not to say that our own planet isn\u2019t still capable of presenting us with seemingly alien environments. The Antarctic region is a vista that is at once sublime and hostile. It takes a special photographer to be able to convey these qualities in one, and Alex Bernasconi has achieved this with a series of beautiful images. There\u2019s a quality that draws you in, hypnotises you and makes you feel the cold on your skin. It\u2019s an extraordinary collection of pictures and one of the best on its subject.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67218\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg\" alt=\"Harry-Gruyaert\" width=\"1000\" height=\"936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg?resize=300,281 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg?resize=427,400 427w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg?resize=900,842 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert.jpg?resize=562,526 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>Harry Gruyaert<\/h2>\n<h3>Thames &amp; Hudson, \u00a340, hardcover, 144 pages, ISBN 978-0-50054-448-8<\/h3>\n<p>This thorough volume is actually the first-ever English-language monograph of Harry Gruyaert\u2019s work and it is a more than generous introduction. Harry\u2019s busy eye has travelled the length and breadth of the world, and the photographer has taken great pleasure in drawing out the striking interplays of primary colour and gorgeous light. There are some absolute gems contained within this book as Harry takes us on a colourful tour of the world, including India, Morocco and Egypt. The book opens with Gruyaert\u2019s eerie 1972 series \u2018TV Shots\u2019 and ends with his recent digital imagery. This is a body of work that shows how some artists never lose their touch.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67216\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg\" alt=\"Songbook\" width=\"970\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg 970w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg?resize=300,288 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg?resize=417,400 417w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg?resize=900,863 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Songbook.jpg?resize=562,539 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a>Songbook<\/h2>\n<h3>by Alec Soth, Mack Books, \u00a340, hardcover, 144 pages, ISBN 978-1-91016-402-0<\/h3>\n<p>American photographer Alec Soth is known \u2013 to quote <em>The Guardian<\/em> \u2013 for his \u2018offbeat, hauntingly banal images of modern America\u2019. It\u2019s a perfect description. In <em>Songbook<\/em>, Soth adopts the role of community newspaper reporter. For two years, he travelled the US state by state while working on his self-published newspaper, The <em>LDM Dispatch<\/em>, as well as on assignment for <em>The New York Times<\/em>, among others. His journey took him to a variety of communities gathering at dances, meetings and festivals, all of which are populated by individuals who seem to be longing for a human connection. Soth\u2019s perfectly exposed and printed black &amp; white images are breathtaking. They are eerie, beautiful and affecting.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67215\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg\" alt=\"Walker-Evans\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg?resize=300,317 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg?resize=378,400 378w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg?resize=900,951 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Walker-Evans.jpg?resize=562,594 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>Walker Evans: Depth of Field<\/h2>\n<h3>Prestel, \u00a355, hardcover, 408 pages, ISBN 978-3-79138-223-4<\/h3>\n<p>In the pantheon of great American photographers, it\u2019s perhaps Walker Evans who stands taller than most.

This stunning volume from Prestel does ample justice to the legend\u2019s work, and succeeds not just because of its reproduction of his more famous works, but because it takes the time to explore those images that have perhaps been overshadowed, such as his those taken in Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast. This is a vital volume for anyone serious about the history of photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been some extraordinary photography books released this year.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Harry-Gruyaert-t.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-07 02:01:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67212"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67227,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67212\/revisions\/67227"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67212"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=67212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
