The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss by Evan Orensten
The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss is a new book by Claire Nouvian, who was so inspired by what she saw in the deep ocean that she wanted to help raise awareness for all that we don't know about the vast number of species living there (scientists say there are probably around 20 million undiscovered species). She worked with a range of research organizations to curate 220 stunning images, many of creaures never caught on film.
Available at Amazon and other retailers.

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...

Photographer Amy Stein
New York photographer Amy Stein's work "explores our evolving isolation from community, culture and the environment." Her recently released book, "Domesticated", began when she was in grad school. "I was simply trying to make compelling images that wouldn't get eviscerated in critique," she says of the project. "As the series progressed, I began to become interested in exhibiting the work and have had many opportunities...

Kazuumi Takahashi: High Tide Wane Moon
Japanese artist Kazuumi Takahashi's beautiful first monograph, "High Tide Wane Moon", explores the relationship between the moon and the ocean. Having grown up near the sea as the son of a fisherman, the schedule of the tides influenced his daily activities, just as the moon influenced the tides. In this large-format book, Takahashi presents 25 double-page spreads, each with a photograph of the moon...

Photo by Sammy Davis, Jr.
Acting like a reverse paparazzo, Sammy Davis Jr. used his position within the Hollywood elite to collect images for his own personal viewing. Rarely without a camera at hand, Davis snapped pictures of his famous friends, as well scenes from his private life. Perhaps more significantly, he also captured huge historical moments from his role endorsing political campaigns and as a key figure in...

Elizabeth Peyton: Portrait of an Artist
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....
