Cool Hunting
French fashion photographer Franck Sauvaire has been visiting ibiza over the last 16 years. Ibiza - Isla En El Mar is a collection of hundreds of his photographs capturing the ecstasy and agony of this island, its inhabitants and its visitors.
From crystal clear waters, to dusky panoramic vistas and drug fuelled dancing, the book lends an intriguing insight for people yet to visit the white island, capturing the essence of Ibiza. His photography beautifully illustrates the varied island landscape and the social interaction between locals, tourists and those who have visited and simply never left. It will alter opinions and change pre-conceptions of the world’s favourite clubbing capital.
Available from Day14 Publications for £25.00.
Here are a few photos from the book:

Miskan--except it's photography based. Photo-blogging is getting bigger and bigger, but making the commitment to really do a photo a day is different.

Opening last week at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Val-de-Seine in...

Part concept, part traditional monograph, Cameron Martin's "Analogue," published by Ghava{Press}, is an engaging study of man's relationship with nature and his shifting notions of the sublime. At its heart, the book is a compelling amalgamation of grand landscape imagery that includes appropriated advertisements, travel snapshots, found images and studio photos, juxtaposed with Martin's own haunting paintings of barren landscapes. Eschewing the typical devices of...
Curiously, for someone releasing a retrospective photography tome, Elizabeth Peyton doesn't consider herself a photographer. But throughout the painter's two-decade career, photographs have played an integral role in the genesis of her intimate, expressive paintings (which were the subject themselves of a recent major retrospective at NY's New Museum). Particularly with her early paintings, the final product came from the snapshots she incessantly took....
Dutch photographer Maarten Wetsema (b. 1966) has some of the most fetching canine portraits I've come across. I've been particularly taken with his series on Daan and Jacob (left and right, above), in which the two dogs are photographed on a variety of seating elements against a seamless background. The deadpan of Daan's gaze is priceless, while Jacob looks to be the most cuddly dog...
