0
In the 1960s the release of the new car models of the next year was a big event in America that received extensive media attention. For their November Issue, Harper’s Bazaar granted Lee Friedlander (US, 1934), fairly unknown at that time and clueless about cars, complete freedom for the coverage of the soon-to-be unveiled cars of 1964.

The photographs of the 82-year-old American photographer Jerry Uelsmann take us into a fantastic world, which clearly has never existed as such in front of a camera rather than foremost in the imagination of the artist.

Melissa Shook: Daily Self-Portraits

0
In 1972, curious about the problem of identity, Melissa Shook began an ambitious project of photographing herself everyday for a year.

These early influential…
