Indie musician legend Edwyn Collins illustrated these spellbinding birds on a daily basis after suffering two cerebral hemorrhages in 2005. The delicacy of the birds demonstrate Edwyn s skill as an illustrator while under the constrains of using his left hand, having lost control of his right after the strokes. Not only do the illustrations chart his unrelenting endeavor to recover, but the birds ability to defy gravity seem to echo Edwyn s ability to defy even the most deliberating fate!

Challenging and provocative, Mikhailov's photographs document human casualties living in post communist Eastern Europe after the demise of the Soviet Union. They are unflinching and ruthless depictions of poverty and the homeless (also known as Bomzhes) living in the margins of Russia's new economic regime without social support or care. This series presents a simulated wedding between two homeless people often naked and in sexual poses, set amongst their own surroundings. Mikhailov's photographs, often presented in these wry even humorous situations, only add to the absurdity of this tragic life. The onlooker experiences feelings of empathy and disgust as they guiltily absorb the content of these engaging yet horrifying pictures, peering into an unknown world of madness, destitution, longing and death in an un-redemptive portrait of outcast humanity. The Wedding is bound in imitation of a traditional wedding album, with faux-leather and gold-debossed lettering designed by calligrapher John Stevens. It is further finished off with a text by Adrian Searle.

There s little need to say anything about Terry Richardson as everything has already been said! But once again, with this stunning series of images Terry delves deeply and indiscriminately into the world with his camera revealing the all too personal nature of his life... his family life. Terry s images don t desist to shock, be it following his colourful yet frail mother or tracking his father s life and the decline of his mental health though his last days.... Terry s camera has no boundaries, no judgement, just the simple truth of the snapshot, an intimate portrait of his family and in turn more or less a self-portrait of Terry Richardson the son. The double book in a sleeve is immaculately art directed by Suburbia Media and comes in the usual limited edition!

Corinne Day's photographs influenced a generation of fashion and documentary image makers. Her pictures unflinchingly documented her life and relationships with a realist snapshot aesthetic-representing a youth culture set against the glamour of fashion and avoiding fictionalisation or voyeurism. Gaining notoriety both for a scandalous photo of Kate Moss in Vogue in 1993 and for pioneering so-called 'grunge' fashion photography, for a time she was exiled from the mainstream fashion media. Corinne later returned to the fashion and art world with works exhibited and collected in galleries and museums worldwide. Corinne Day died in August 2010, and in her first book since, we celebrate this icon of photography with a series of previously un-published early works.

Daniel Gordon approaches photography with the sensibilities and concerns of an object maker, and the relationship between sculptural and photographic forms is a major force at play in his work. He calls our attention to the surface of the paper, emphatically challenging the notion of a photograph as a window into the world.The imperfections visible in his constructions are the antithesis of the glossy perfection of so much photography today. Instead he shares an affinity with painters or sculptors - those that spend time making things in the studio.Text extract by Eva RespiniAssociate Curator Museum of Modern Art
