法国印象派绘画虽然在有些人看来分别存有或片面追求光学的客观主义，或把科学原理与艺术创作有机结合，以及自我表现的个体主义倾向等，但在西方传统绘画的历史性超越、对西方现代主义艺术的精神启迪等方面，提出了许多关键性的问题并进行了有益的探索性实验。因此可以说，法国印象派绘画扭转了西方美术的发展方向，开启了美术的新纪元。

Best known for his striking photographs of people on the fringes of South African society, Roger Ballen makes images that are ambiguous and often disturbing, but also shot through with flashes of dark humour. The photographs in Shadow Chamber blur the boundaries between documentary photography and art forms such as painting, theatre and sculpture, challenging the ways in which we perceive the 'reality' of photography. Ballen's images are completely honest, yet also fabricated. The mysterious, cell-like rooms that Ballen photographs are actual places, but they are unsettling and strange, logical but impossible: their walls are covered with scribbled drawings, stains and dangling wires, the floors are strewn with bizarre props and artefacts. Dogs, rabbits and kittens wander into the frame or are stuffed into unlikely containers. The humans and animals in Ballen's photographs appear isolated and lost, yet strangely empowered at the same time. The resulting images are allegories of lived experiences and surre

I stop walking and just follow myintuition."

The Better Digital Photography Guides are aimed at amateur photographers who want to explore the potential of digital technology to improve the quality and range of their work, be it snapshots of family activities, records of their travels, landscapes, portraits, or still-lifes. Master photographer Michael Busselle breaks down the image-making process into three phases: Capture, Enhance, and Print. While his stunning photographs educate through visual inspiration, his clear step-by-step text simplifies all the procedures. Nowhere is the potential of digital photography greater than in the fields of special effects and photo-art. Sitting in front of their PCs or Macs, photographers can now easily manipulate their digital images to achieve effects that, using traditional filmbased photography, could only be attempted by experienced printmakers with years of darkroom experience. And, if one experiment doesn’t work, they can go back and try a different tack with a few clicks of the mouse. Each of Michael

Breaking down the structure of the photograph as truth and the book as narrative, Lutzs second monograph, Hesitating Beauty, is an intimate portrait unlike other photographic models. Rethinking how photographs and text can function, Lutz blends family archives, interviews and letters with his own photographic practice seamlessly into a precious, fictitious experience of a life and family consumed by mental illness. Instead of showing us what it looks like, Hesitating Beauty is able to play with our own conceptions of reality to show us what it feels like. Lutz: Holding on so tightly to what I believed was sanity and being consumed by fear of depression and schizophrenia prevented me from being fully present to my mothers reality. The past few years, as she slipped away from the aggressive paranoia and depression of my youth to an almost calming sense of delusion, made it much easier for me to rid the anger that veiled my life and to attempt to find a place of empathy and compassion as I managed her c

It is the authenticity of the images which fascinates us rather than the reality that lies behind them. This reality seems rough and dangerous and all but worth emulating or aspiring to. The photographer Alexander Babic covered thousands of miles by car in Australia and South Africa in order to capture a scenery of which he himself was part - a real adventure. He drove along the world's longest highways, encountered the world's longest road trains, i.e. the Australian road trains with up to four, sometimes five trailers measuring up to 70 metres in length. He set up a complete mobile studio and asked his models, the truckers, if he can take a picture of them. He wants in his own words: "to capture faces that reflect stories, experiences, even tradegy and roughness in a totally classic and unadorned manner in black and white photographs". The portraits of the subjects are countered by similarly impressive views of the vehicles, from the front an this time in colour. The double page landscape photographs interj
