Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHINESE LANGUAGE VERSION.MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY VOL 12 IMMORTALSFashion Industry Broadcast's Masters of PhotographySeries is one of the most extensive and prestigiouspublishing initiatives ever released on photography.In this we profile the lives and explore the legacies of some of the biggest photography luminaries to have ever lived and worked on the planet. The precursors of fashion photography go back to the 18th century, when images of fashionable clothes were printed inmagazines and often hand-coloured. Paris was, at that time, a centre for the production of such magazines, many of which were imported into England.The technique of photography was developed in the 1830s, but it wasn't until much later that the métier of fashion photography came into existence. The earliest popular photographic technique, the daguerreotype, could not be used for mass printing. A later technique enabled the production of the 'carte de visite', which were made for individuals and which also depicted famous theatre and music hall personalities of the age.It wasn't until advances in halftone printing techniques that fashion photographs came to be featured in magazines. This happened in about the first decade of the 20th century.Now when we see famous designer brands in advertisements and catalogues, what we are really seeing is the artistry of the image-makers who stand behind the camera. What we don't see is theirnames.Personal opinion will decide who were the greatestphotographers of all time, but in the minds of many experts, a special few could be singled out. We have recently just seen the passing of an era, as CorinneDay, Richard Bailey, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Horst P Horst, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts, Robert Mapplethorpe, Norman Parkinson are all no longer with us, but their legacy, like that of historic monuments, lives on. Their epic images will forever capture a feeling of their times.Our two Immortals editions detail some of the most enduring and famous names in photography, all of whom are no longer with us.In this book we look at the lives and legends of;Robert DoisneauHorst P HorstRobert MapplethorpeHelmut NewtonNorman ParkinsonIrving PennMan RayHerb RittsFashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY" is a series:MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 9 Living LegendsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 10 Living LegendsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 11 Immortals MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 12 ImmortalsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 13 AustraliansMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 50 Living LegendsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 51 The MuseMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 52 Gen NextFashion Industry Broadcast is the number one destination on the web for the latest in fashion, style, creative arts, creative media, models, celebrity biographies and much more.

We now live in a world where a large number of the earth's population carries with them a high definition digital camera and video camera with them at all times. The "selfie" has recently been added to the dictionaries of the world as an official thing. Sites like Instagram allow anyone who wishes to be their own picture editor or publisher. Leading British and iconic photographic legend Nick Knight states that his favourite camera is his iPhone not Hassleblad.It's no secret that in the tech savvy 21st century, celebrity photographers are as plentiful as they are powerful. Photographers like Steven Meisel and Mario Testino have launched the careers of countless models, stylists, and make-up artists. Others like Rankin and Nick Knight have created media platforms to take fashion photography and film in unanticipated yet important directions. And then there are the controversial photographers like Terry Richardson who is either a genius or a sex pervert depending on who's account you listen to.All of the fashion photographers on this list see themselves not as mere tools in the selling process, but artists working in a pure and high art form, who are continually redefining visual culture, beauty, and art.

London based but Peruvian Mario Testino is almost as famous as the subjects he shoots.forever remembered for his Tom Ford era Gucci campaigns with styling by none other than Corinne Roitfeld, and who could forget the "rock with royalty" campaign Testino launched to launch the new Burberry image to stellar heights around the world.Featuring the greats;Miles AldridgeDavid BaileySteven KleinMert and MarcusSarah MoonRankinStéphane SednaouiMario TestinoFashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY"is a series:MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 9 Living Legends MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 10 Living Legends MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 11 Immortals MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 12 Immortals MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 13 AustraliansMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 50 Living LegendsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 51 The MuseMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 52 New GenFashion Industry Broadcast is a leading global publisher of lifestyle titles, this multi edition set has been created as a hard cover colour coffee table books from $45.00, e-books for $19 from Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple iBook's,Google books, Stanza and Kobo, Apps for mobile devices and a TV documentary series is also in the works.A very special video rich multimedia App version with hundreds and hundreds of original videos, interviews, runway shows, behind the scenes at fashion shoots and advertisements, is available through Apple's iTunes App store and other major App stores for just $9.99 per edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ma offers an innovative study of three provocative Chinese directors: Wong Kar-wai, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Tsai Ming-liang. Focusing on the highly stylized and monlinear configurations of time in each director's films, she argues that these dirctors have brought new global respect for Chinese cinema in amplifying motifs of loss, nostalgia, hauntin, absence and ephemeral poetices Hou, Tsai, and Wong all isist on the significance of being out of time, not merely out of place, as a condition of global modernity. Ma argues that their films collectively foreground the central place of contemporary Chinese films in a transnational culture of memory, characterized by a distinctive melancholy that highlights the difficulty of binding together past and present into a meaningful narrative. Jean Ma is assistant professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University Melancholy Drift rides the films of three Chinese auteurs right into the heart of its subject, the mismatch between private feeling and collective history. These crucial films, set carefully beside one another, begin to pulse anew under the deft touch of Jean Ma's analyses. Drawing on a deep reservoir of historical and critical knowledge, she helps us hear these films speak of our times, then speak of time itself and of its dislocations---Dudley Andrew, Yale University Theoretically sophisticated and elegantly written, Melancholy Drift elucidates the subject of cinematic time in its various configurations: as a response to historical ruptures and political upheavals as representational politics, and as a reinvention of the art cinema. This book is a timely demonstration of the key roles played by Chinese auteurs in shaping the new face of world cinema today and an important contribution to scholarship both within and beyond the field of transnational Chinese cinemas---Song Hwee Lim, University of Exeter

This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imperial Politics and Symbolics in Ancient Japan is an ambitious and ground-breaking study that offers a new understanding of a formative stage in the development of the Japanese state. The late seventh and eighth centuries were a time of momentous change in Japan, much of it brought about by the short-lived Tenmu dynasty. Two new capital cities, a bureaucratic state led by an imperial ruler, and Chinese-style law codes were just a few of the innovations instituted by the new regime. Herman Ooms presents both a wide-ranging and fine-grained examination of the power struggles, symbolic manipulations, new mythological constructs, and historical revisions that both defined and propelled these changes. In addition to a vast amount of research in Japanese sources, the author draws on a wealth of sinological scholarship in English, German, and French to illuminate the politics and symbolics of the time. An important feature of the book is the way it opens up early Japanese history to considerations of continental influences. Rulers and ritual specialists drew on several religious and ritual idioms, including Daoism, Buddhism, yin-yang hermeneutics, and kami worship, to articulate and justify their innovations. In looking at the religious symbols that were deployed in support of the state, Ooms gives special attention to the Daoist dimensions of the new political symbolics as well as to the crucial contributions made by successive generations of "immigrants" from the Korean peninsula. From the beginning, a "liturgical state" sought to co-opt factions and clans (uji) as participants in the new polity with the emperor acting as both a symbolic mediator and a silent partner. In contrast to the traditional interpretation of the Kojiki mythology as providing a vertical legitimation of a Sun lineage of rulers, an argument is presented for the importance of a lateral dimension of interdependency as a key structural element in the mythological narrative. An enlightening line of interpretation woven into the author’s analysis centers on purity. This eminently politico-ritual value central to Chinese Daoism and Buddhism was used by Tenmu as the emblematic expression of his regime and new political power. The concept of purity was most fully realized in the world of the Saiô princess in Ise and was later used by Ise ritualists to defend themselves against Buddhist rivals. At the end of the Tenmu dynasty, it was widely believed that avenging spirits were the principal source of danger and pollution, notions understood here as statements about the bloody political battles that were waged in Tenmu court circles. The Tenmu dynasty began and ended in bloodshed and was marked throughout by instability and upheaval. Constant succession struggles between two branches of the royal line and a few outside lineages generated a host of plots, uprisings, murders, and accusations of black magic. This aspect of the period gets full treatment in fascinatingly detailed narratives, which the author skillfully alternates with his trademark structural analysis. Imperial Politics and Symbolics in Ancient Japan is a boldly imaginative, carefully and extensively researched, and richly textured history that will reward reading by Japan specialists and students in several disciplines as well as by scholars with an interest in the role of religious symbolism in state formation.
