Private
Hardly anyone knew Diana. Yet on her death the world mourned. We all think we know David Beckham, but millions of us only know him through his photographs. The result is that the photograph becomes more real than the actual person. The author uses celebrity look-alikes to create images that questions the truth and blurs that fine line.
Exposed! 2011
It's been quite a year in the world of celebrity... - Wayne Rooney said 'I'm worth it' with his new head of hair; - Charlie Sheen went from losing it to WINNING; - Cameron and Clegg continued their bromance; - Cheryl got hired 'n' fired in spectacular fashion; - And the world stopped entirely to watch Kate 'n' Wills get married - then got totally distracted by Pippa's bottom instead Thankfully, there's been someone there to record all of 2011's most momentous events. They're the pics that the carefully airbrushed celebs might not have wanted you to see, but from the Milibands arm-wrestling for leadership of the Labour party to the Beckhams picking out names for their new daughter ('Cif?' 'No, David, I told you, I wanted Harpic'. 'I thought you said "Harper", Victoria?' 'Oh yes, that's the one!'), these are the behind the scenes shots everyone else wants to see. They say the camera never lies. Let's test that out, shall we...?
Alison Jackson
Alison Jackson's staged realism toys with our voyeuristic and fame-fuelled fantasies. Her mockumentary approach uses look-alikes to create elaborate imaginary scenes of famous people. Cheeky and often shocking, her fabulously fake scenarios question the levels of reality present in our media-saturated existences. Along the way, she challenges us to question how much of what we know (or think we know) about well-known figures can actually be true. Could it all really be a deluded projection of our own mundane lives? Is loneliness and disconnection at the heart of wanting to come close to our famous "friends?" Why are we so curious about people we'll probably never meet--whose whole existence might just be a carefully constructed performance? Text in English and German SELLING POINTS: *One of the most imaginative and original photographers working today *Work that entertains--and holds up a mirror to our bizarre muddling of private and public worlds ILLUSTRATIONS: 31 colour & 13 b/w photographs

Living with Jacko
For over 30 years, Peter Jackson and his wife Alison lived the good life, riding the football rollercoaster together during his career as a player and manager. When the dark days came and Peter was faced with the spectre of a life-threatening cancer, and later the end of his football career, their bond was as strong as ever. Living with Jacko is a story shaped by football that reaches far beyond the confines of the sporting world.
On Photography
Winner of the National Book Critics' Circle Award for Criticism. One of the most highly regarded books of its kind, "On Photography" first appeared in 1977 and is described by its author as " a progress of essays about the meaning and career of photographs." It begins with the famous " In Plato' s Cave" essay, then offers five other prose meditations on this topic, and concludes with a fascinating and far-reaching " Brief Anthology of Quotations."
Kate & Wills Up the Aisle
Alison Jackson presents a humorous folio of photographs to reveal all about the royal wedding between Kate and Wills, the most anticipated nuptials to come out of Britain since Charles and Diana, providing a glimpse into all the events we have imagined but never thought we would see.
