Henk van Rensbergen is a Boeing 787 pilot who flies around the globe. While his crew rests at the swimming pool, he goes out to explore abandoned places in our world. From the breakaway state of Abkhazia, a floating warship cemetery in France, a forgotten love hotel in Japan to an abandoned rail depot in Detroit, van Rensbergen searches for the beauty of their desolation and pinpoints the richness of their decay. Van Rensbergen is a pioneering urban explorer. His Abandoned Places photo books (1, 2, 3 and The Photographer's Selection) have been highly successful. This complete revised edition shows his most iconic photos of the past 25 years, including new unpublished material and anecdotes.

When it comes to foreign visitors or artists, North Korea must be the most restrictive country in the world. Nevertheless, Carl De Keyzer managed to cross the entire country in 42 days, divided into three journeys. In his latest book, Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer points his lens at North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the last communist state in the world from an ideological, political and cultural perspective.
De Keyzer is one of very few photographers who get almost-unlimited access to the country. He photographed more than 200 different locations, many of which had never been captured on camera before. The 250 photos that form his 'Grand Tour' - taken on marches, at the shooting range, in the subway and in family homes - are a testament to this country's uniqueness.
The renowned World Press Photo Foundation ("Connecting the world to the stories that matter") publishes a compilation of prizewinning press photographs each year. Carefully selected from thousands of entries, they present the most celebrated, powerful, moving, and often disturbing images from around the world, often putting a face on conflicts in far-flung places and reminding us of our shared humanity. The 2022 Yearbook, bringing together the best press photographs from 2021, will reflect the joy, anguish, and upheaval of this incredible year.
The Insta Grammar series explores the best of the best in amateur photography, focussing on the immensely popular social media site, Instagram. After Cats, City and Nordic, Green is the fourth and latest title in this series, which closely follows online trends.
The reason is obvious: green is the new black. Be inspired by photos of plants, trees and everything green, and enjoy the creativity of the selected photographers.
Dans Dark and Dystopian Post-Mortem Fairy Tales, le duo artistique belge Mothmeister reprend son mélange typique de masques effrayants, de taxidermie et de photographie avec un effet sinistre et cinématographique. À travers des thèmes tels que «l'école vétérinaire comme laboratoire des horreurs», «le prêtre pervers» et «Tchernobyl», ils professent leur amour pour le culte des morts, la vie de cirque, la religion et la mythologie. Dans ce deuxième livre, ils donnent également la parole aux amis artistes avec lesquels ils ont collaboré.
Carl De Keyzer , photographe belge de renom et membre de la célèbre agence Magnum, a parcouru le Congo dans le cadre du 50e anniversaire de l'indépendance de l'ancienne colonie belge. De Keyzer a élaboré son itinéraire en se basant sur le "Guide du voyageur au Congo" , un guide touristique datant de 1958.
The highlands as a place of refuge for the European population. No one knows whether it will ever be possible to return.
In Higher Ground, Magnum Photographer Carl De Keyzer depicts a fictitious world in which people have fled from the tidal wave. It inspired the famous French author Philippe Claudel to write the short story Ararat in which he examines the psyche of De Keyzer's characters. The result is an intriguing and prophetic book - cinematic, poetic, apocalyptic. Higher ground is the sequel to the highly praised Moments before the flood.
"The most important thing, it seems to me, is to pretend. To go on pretending. I can't help thinking that none of this is real." "Please forgive me, but I no longer speak to anyone except God." "The funniest thing is that my son, who wasn't awake on the morning I wanted to take this trip - my son whom I'd left sleeping in the hired apartment - do you know what his first name is? Noah. Yes. Noah. I'm not making it up." Les montagnes comme refuge pour la population européenne. Personne ne sait si un retour sera encore possible.
Carl De Keyzer, photographe de l'agence Magnum, imagine dans Higher Ground un monde où les gens se sont réfugiés pour échapper au déluge. Ce monde a inspiré à l'écrivain Philippe Claudel la nouvelle Ararat, dans laquelle il se penche sur la psyché des personnages de De Keyzer. Cela donne un ouvrage intrigant et prophétique - à la fois cinématographique, poétique et apocalyptique.
Higher Ground est la suite du très applaudi Moments before the flood.
« Ce qui me semble le plus important, c'est de faire semblant. De continuer à faire semblant. Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser que tout cela n'est pas réel. » « Je vous prie de m'excuses, mais je ne parle plus qu'à Dieu. » « Le plus drôle, c'est que mon fils qui ne s'est pas réveillé le jour où j'ai voulu faire cette excursion, mon fils que j'ai laissé dormir dans l'appartement de location, savez-vous comment il se prrénomme ? Noé. Oui. Noé. Ça ne s'invente pas. »

In the summer of 1990, Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer bought a camper van and spent a year travelling across the United States to capture the American religious experience. Published in 1992, the series - which was exhibited at the California Museum of Photography in San Diego - was called God Inc.
Thirty years later, he has revisited the American Bible Belt and various other states to see how religious groups embrace modern life and the latest technologies in their search for new followers.
The result, God Inc. I & II, is a fascinating documentary of American life that bundles both series of photographs. The first part is supplemented with photographs that were not published before.
Une paréidolie est une forme d'illusion d'optique consistant à discerner dans une forme du quotidien des éléments reconnaissables, par exemple des visages. Les photographies proposées ne correspondent en réalité qu'à des bâtiments, à des prises de courant ou à des fruits pourris, mais évoquent des animaux surprenants, de drôles de personnages et des objets rigolos. Ce petit livre drôle et évoque un Muppet Show improvisé.
