Still Life
Master photographer Kenro Izu has for years been working with the platinum palladium process to create stunning nudes and floral still lifes. Using large-format cameras, and contact printing images as large as 14x20 inches, Izu creates photographs that possess a rare sensuality and tactility. Their surface qualities and rich tonalities conjure the hand-crafted beauty of earlier movements in photography, but these images are so timeless they beg contemplation and immersion from the viewer. It's no wonder Izu has been noticed by such important photography collectors as Elton John. This book, the first devoted to both Izu's nudes and floral still lifes, is certain to become a classic. Printed in large format on luscious Italian stock, the images come alive in this rarefied book -- which features an introduction by Richard Gere, and an interpretive essay by noted curator Arthur Olman.
Passage to Angkor
The world's premier photographer of sacred sites, Kenro Izu's remarkable work both pays homage to the 19th-century masters of photography yet displays an undercurrent of striking modernity. Collected here are Izu's most accomplished Angkor Wat photographs, enhanced with the acclaimed poetry of Helen Ibbitson Jessup. Izu's Passage to Angkor will be featured in a traveling exhibition beginning December 2003.

Mark Neville
Since 2015, British photographer Mark Neville (born 1966) has been documenting life in Ukraine, with subjects ranging from holidaymakers on the beaches of Odessa and the Roma communities on the Hungarian border to those internally displaced by the war in Eastern Ukraine. Employing his activist strategy of a targeted book dissemination, Neville is committed to making a direct impact upon the war in Ukraine. He will distribute 2,000 copies of this volume free to policy makers, opinion makers, members of parliament both in Ukraine and Russia, members of the international community and those involved directly in the Minsk Agreements. He means to reignite awareness about the war, galvanize the peace talks and attempt to halt the daily bombing and casualties in Eastern Ukraine which have been occurring for four years now. Neville's images are accompanied by writings from both Russian and Ukrainian novelists, as well as texts from policy makers and the international community, to suggest how to end the conflict.
Lusitano
A visual story of the Lusitano horse adeptly told through the lens of Keron Psillas Oliveira. Keron tells her story of meeting, photographing, and ultimately living in the land of her beloved Lusitano horse. Includes four essays - one at each chapter beginning, and an index of images providing the names of all the horses, riders if depicted, and the date and location the photographs were made. Lady Sylvia Loch, author of The Royal Horse of Europe and recipient of The Order of Merit from Portugal, describes Keron's work in this way: Keron's photographs depict a horse that is unique in terms of how he touches us. In them we see a true artist at work, delivered in the form of photographs that n...
Passage to Angkor
Timeless, limitless images--monumental 14 x 20 inch platinum photographs -- of one of the world's most mystical places by a renowned artist. More than any other photographer, Izu has made over thirty visits to the sacred Cambodian site of Angkor Wat. And, like the makers of the sacred image of Buddha, who utter three prayers for each stroke of the carving tool, Izu himself considers the act of picture-making a type of divine practice. His photographs capture essence and light. Of his famous photograph of Tibet's Kailash in which the snowy peak is seen in otherworldly light, he recently said the image was a gift from God. The photos are accompanied by the poetry of Helen Ibbitson Jessup, inspired by Izu's work. --Channel Photographics.
