Fashion Photography Next
Thirty of the world’s most promising new talents, showcasing their passion for fashion and photography in striking new ways This vibrant new survey sets the agenda both for fashion photography and inspirational and innovative image-making in the decade ahead. Leading curator and writer Magdalene Keaney has selected over thirty photographers—the emerging talents that hold the prospect of creating enduring fashion images and influencing the cultural and style trends of tomorrow.

Profiles and critiques of thirty of the hottest careers in fashion photography, an Introduction that considers the evolution of the art form, and provocative images that speak for themselves, make Fashion Photography Next the roster of rising stars for the industry to watch and aspiring photographers to emulate.

Wearable Objects and Curative Things
This book explores the intersections between wearable objects and human health, with particular emphasis on how artists and designers are creatively responding to and rethinking these relations.
