Yes, you gotta love it. You gotta love the hustle, the getting-up-and-going-out, the repeating sales pitches, the flirting and the haggling; the unending calls, all week, Monday to Sunday, all day, morning till night. You gotta love the dance, the rush, and the territory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1980, as a young photographer just beginning her MFA in San Francisco and developing a keen interest in documenting labor, Janet Delaney embarked for a week on the job with her soon-to-retire father. The days are long and exhausting, but there is, in the incessant driving, carrying and chatting, a restless, pulsing energy streaming from Delaney’s photographs. Picturing the beauty parlors with a critical distance (she did, after all, grow up in a time of questioning constricted gender roles and capitalist consumer culture), using frontal, wide shots and often harsh flash, Delaney created a witty documentation of a day in the life of a salesman. Despite the photo-novella humor, Delaney came to see her father’s work under new light. All the tough business dealings, all the missed dinners and the Saturday meetings became a testament to his efforts to provide for his children what he himself had not received. The story, ultimately, became a testament to his love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYes, you gotta love it—as it is a true labor of love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadbeat Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44847287074873,"sku":"1-0036","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/41_4e6fae87-1c35-464e-be92-79741c51c49f.webp?v=1757202977"},{"product_id":"a-woman-i-once-knew","title":"A Woman I Once Knew","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Woman I Once Knew\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRosalind Fox Solomon \u003cbr\u003eMack \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePaperback with tipped-in image \u003cbr\u003e26 x 38cm, 264 pages \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSeptember 2024 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eISBN 978-1-915743-40-4 \u003cbr\u003e$70\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom Mack: At thirty-eight, while living in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Rosalind Fox Solomon began a new life as a photographer. Studying with Lisette Model in the early 1970s, she honed the photographic voice which would define the prodigious half-century of work to follow. After moving to a loft in New York City in 1984, and travelling to Peru, India, South Africa, Cambodia, and beyond, she became renowned for her unflinching photography of everyday life around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThroughout the same period, Solomon made self-portraits.

Solomon’s writings allude to the periodic depressions and euphoric experiences in other cultures that defined her extraordinary life and shaped her empathetic approach to photography. They sit in fraught and suggestive dialogue with her revelatory self-portraits. A remarkable new work from an epochal photographer, this volume shows a startling rigorousness and sensitivity of self-examination which suggests the boundless possibilities of taking the self as subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44854822240313,"sku":"1-0045","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/2025_09_08_REALM_3078_AWomanIOnceKnewCU.jpg?v=1757447415"},{"product_id":"mothers-land","title":"Mother's Land","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMother’s Land\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.danielpostaer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDaniel Lee Postaer\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDeadbeat Club \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEssay by Christopher McCall \u003cbr\u003e96 pages \u003cbr\u003eHardcover \u003cbr\u003eFull Color Offset \u003cbr\u003e15 x 11\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eISBN : 978-1-952523-32-8\u003cbr\u003e$65\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom Deadbeat: \u003ci\u003eMother's Land \u003c\/i\u003eis a collection of dioramas, of unscripted scenes in which we see a shifting 2010s China unfold before our eyes.

From rotting Florida citrus orchards to half-built suburban interiors and the static hum of strip-mall signage, each book turns on a clear typological register, where the familiar slides easily into the strange. Ethridge sets his pictures in a dialogue with photographic archetypes – catalogues, calendars, studio models, kitsch displays – using them to probe how images shape, naturalise and sometimes fracture American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEthridge’s early books all emerge from loose typologies that, in their slippages, probe and complicate the aesthetics of American visual culture. From 2004, \u003ci\u003eOrange Grove\u003c\/i\u003e distills photographs made in a dilapidated Florida orchard into a study of slow collapse, a familiar symbol of American plenty quietly withering on the tree. Self-published simultaneously, 2004’s \u003ci\u003eSpare Bedroom \u003c\/i\u003ebegins Ethridge’s career-long practice of jumbling and juxtaposing the commercial and the personal, in which an early commission for a furniture company unravels into a jagged mix of domestic scenes, catalogue imagery and loosely staged interiors. Finally, \u003ci\u003eCounty Line\u003c\/i\u003e (2005) turns to the liminal spaces of Queens and Nassau County, abstracting the language of the strip mall into a concrete-poetry of word-photographs that sit against other images evoking the blurry edges of the suburban sprawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTaken together, the three books form a weave of contrasts, where moments of banality tilt towards the uncanny and the absurd.

Soon after, he began working as a photographer for state-run Household Services, making official portraits in schools, factories, and public institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs the Soviet Union began to unravel in the early 1980s, Bakharev turned to private portraiture. He traveled to near by river and lake beaches, such as Cheryomushk, where workers and families gathered to relax. These beaches were among the few public spaces in the USSR where any form of nudity was tolerated. “Almost any image of a naked body was considered pornography, which was against the law,” he says. Here, he created a deeply human archive of unvarnished Soviet life: intimate, unguarded portraits of people in moments of quite tenderness—parents embracing their children, couples pressed close, friends drinking in the afternoon light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBakharev’s camera served as means of connection. “There must be a mutual relationship,” he said. “They need to understand that I am not watching my sitters—it’s as if I’m part of the picture… A picture should not be beautiful, but interesting, then you can find beauty. Beauty is in the human relationships that are formed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBakharev is also the author of Novokuznetsk published by STANLEY\/BARKER in 2016, and has previously been nominated for Deutsche Börse photography prize for his 2011 exhibition at the Venice Biennale \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanley\/Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45680243179577,"sku":"1-0116","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/Cheryomushki_1777072307719.jpg?v=1777164278"},{"product_id":"where-the-light-came-in","title":"Where the Light Came in","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the Light Came in\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.judithblack.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJudith Black\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStanley\/Barker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e24x17 \u003cbr\u003e88 pages \u003cbr\u003eSelf covered \/ UK Silk Screened images \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom STANLEY\/BARKER: The most consequential moments are rarely dramatic. What stays with us, what makes us feel truly seen, is often small, domestic, and endlessly repeated. Judith Black’s photographs, made at home in the early 1980s of her four young children and their stepfather, remind us of this simple truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1980, after a divorce, Judith moved her family to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and took a job at the darkroom at MIT. Their home wasn’t grand, but it was theirs, a place to begin again. Not long after settling in, they found a worn old armchair left on the side of the road and gave it a place by the window. It became a spot of rest and quiet theatre, a vantage point from which Judith watched her children grow, day by day, frame by frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis new book gathers every photograph she made of that single chair. What begins as cast-off furniture becomes, through her attentive eye, a kind of threshold: a simple thing that holds a whole world. There is a truth here that is easy to overlook, that by staying close to the ordinary, by returning to the same corner of a room, we might learn to see more clearly. And that the measure of a life is so often found not in grand gestures, but in the worn fabric of a chair, the shifting light, the hush of children growing older under our watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhere the Light Came In\u003c\/i\u003e has been carefully designed to feel like an object of devotion; the kind of object a parent might make at home.

As with his photographs of the Mississippi, Soth’s pictures of Niagara are less about natural wonder than human desire. “I went to Niagara for the same reason as the honeymooners and suicide jumpers,” says Soth, “the relentless thunder of the Falls just calls for big passion.” Working over the course of two years on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls using a large-format 8x10 camera, the photographs are rigorously composed and richly detailed. Soth depicts newlyweds and naked lovers, motel parking lots and pawn shop wedding rings. Throughout the book, Soth has interspersed a number of love letters from the subjects he photographed. We read about teenage crushes, workplace affairs, heartbreak and suicide. Oscar Wilde wrote of the Falls, “The sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.” In Soth’s \u003ci\u003eNiagara\u003c\/i\u003e, we see both the passion and the disappointment.

In this format, the photographs enter into a subtle dialogue with one another, revealing how context, sequence, and framing shape interpretation and inform visual experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFeaturing work by: Celine Amorim, Hilda Argumosa, John Barnard, Zachary Begler, László Gábor Belicza, Angela Blumen, Cas Bochner, Dominique Philippe Bonnet, Anton Bou, Anna Bruce, Kelly Burgess, Neville Caulfield, Jewel Champbell, Ayushi Channawar, Ning Cheng, Anna Chow, Oana Cionca, Jaina Cipriano, Hernando Conwi, Guthrie Cooper, Ellen Cronin, Dallas Crow, Kira Crugnale, Ben Davis, Brian St. Denis, Ness DeVos, Kristin Dimitrova, Lieve Early, Abby Edwards, Giuseppe Francavilla, Gretchen Grace, Silvia Clo Di Gregorio, Nick Grinder, Mike Hamar, Clayton Hauck, Gabriel Alejandro Gomez Herrera, Shelley Horan, Arthur Hunking, Michelle Huynh, Susan Jablonski, Claudia Kedney-Bolduc, Jonathan Khan, Nate King, Katya Konioukhova, De Kwok, Eve Lee, Joyce Lee, Moonsung Lee, Maria Bethania Lopez, Rachele Maistrello, Sarah Malakoff, Simone Martel, Nika McKagen, Clay Mills, Dominika Muszyńska, Svilen Nachev, Ralph Nabil Nasrallah, Grady Neilan, Gabriel Orlowski, Oliver Kolding Palm, Valentina Paparoni, Mia Patterson, Le Pels, Parker Phelps, Tanya Podubienko, Ian Pritchard, Josefine Rauch, Anna Renger, Matthew Rigby, Rafa Rojas, Xavier Rony, Antonio Rosato, Eslam Abd El Salam, Paul Seaton, Enzo Sebastiani, Michael Seleski, Scott Semler, Tiago Serpa, Niki Stavrianou, Anniina Suhonen, Eric O Sullivan, Maxim Tardiveau, Shaza Tarig, Eliseo Tess, Jeff Tidwell, Angela Tozzi, Cody Tracy, Olivier Tuinier, Gabrielle Tyrie, Vahid Valikhani, Michael Vallera, Nick Venaglia, Hunter Ventress, Hanyue Wang, Elijah Wilborn, Tay Wilcoxson, Thordis Wolf\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45851569520697,"sku":"1-0131","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/CommonObjects_Front.jpg?v=1778868496"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.realmbooks.co\/collections\/featured-books.oembed","provider":"Realm Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
