Freckles
Author: Brock Elbank
Publisher: Merrell
ISBN: 9781858946719
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
In 2015, the photographer Brock Elbank embarked on a series of portraits to celebrate the beauty of freckles. The result is an intimate series of freckled faces, each with a story to tell. Freckled skin or, to give it its proper name, ephelides, runs in families and is most common in white people with fair skin and red hair, but it occurs in people of all ethnicities. Although freckles intensify with exposure to the sun, they are now generally thought not to be a sign of sun damage. They generally appear when a child is about seven, and from then on will fade and intensify according to the time of year. There are many who appreciate the beauty of freckled skin, but it may at last be having a more mainstream 'fashion moment' as red-haired models become more common in the media and those with more unusual appearances gain currency. Elbank has always been drawn to unique characters, and for him beauty is 'finding something so incredible that it's unique'. 'I've always loved freckles, ' he says. He was inspired to start the series after photographing his son's freckly friend in 2012. 'What I find interesting about the individual characters that I have been fortunate enough to photograph is that many have struggled with their freckles since their infancy and either hated them, or grown to live with them or even like them in adulthood.' He says that many of his subjects come to the studio feeling awkward or vulnerable, but leave feeling liberated after seeing their portraits. This beautiful book, impeccably produced and lovingly photographed, will appeal to lovers of portraiture and of the human body, as well as--of course--to those with freckles themselves.

Allowed to Grow Old
Author: Isa Leshko
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022639137X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
There’s nothing quite like a relationship with an aged pet—a dog or cat who has been at our side for years, forming an ineffable bond. Pampered pets, however, are a rarity among animals who have been domesticated. Farm animals, for example, are usually slaughtered before their first birthday. We never stop to think about it, but the typical images we see of cows, chickens, pigs, and the like are of young animals. What would we see if they were allowed to grow old? Isa Leshko shows us, brilliantly, with this collection of portraits. To create these portraits, she spent hours with her subjects, gaining their trust and putting them at ease. The resulting images reveal the unique personality of each animal. It’s impossible to look away from the animals in these images as they unforgettably meet our gaze, simultaneously calm and challenging. In these photographs we see the cumulative effects of the hardships of industrialized farm life, but also the healing that time can bring, and the dignity that can emerge when farm animals are allowed to age on their own terms. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief biographical note about its subject, and the book is rounded out with essays that explore the history of animal photography, the place of beauty in activist art, and much more. Open this book to any page. Meet Teresa, a thirteen-year-old Yorkshire Pig, or Melvin, an eleven-year-old Angora Goat, or Tom, a seven-year-old Broad Breasted White Turkey. You’ll never forget them.
