preoccupation with material desire and illusion.

Xiaoxiao Xu - The Way To The Golden Mountain
Sturm & Drang 2014 ISBN 9780984820245 Acqn 24813
Hb 22x23cm 104pp 49col ills £42.95
In 1999, as a teenager, Xiaoxiao Xu moved from China to The Netherlands. Photography became
her antidote to the isolation that she felt, a means for telling stories and making clear what it was
that occupied her. In 2009 she started to photograph the city from which she and her parents had
come. Wenzhou is a large port city, with a population of three million. She was overwhelmed by
the combination of memories and contemporary experiences. She could identify with the city, but
at the same time felt herself to be an outsider – just as she did in The Netherlands. This resulted
in “The Way To The Golden Mountain”, a book that shows the city and surroundings as a
personal and emotional experience.

'Out There' invites the reader on a mythical journey through the wilderness of the Yukon territory.
A photographic record of countless escapes by Augsburger in an endless quest to reach
freedom. The book is not so much a record of a physical landscape but of an emotional one. In
documenting his travels through the snow, the wilderness and the archaic landscapes, the
photographer reveals that this is a journey to the basic questions of our existence.

Ringel Goslinga – Circling
Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261310 Acqn 24841
Pb 26x33cm 48pp 126ills 21col £29.95
When Ringel Goslinga was given the opportunity to use a camera belonging to celebrated local
photographer Lee To Sang, who for years ran a photo studio in De Pijp, one of Amsterdam’s
most vibrant working-class neighbourhoods, he set out to document the people in the area
around the former studio. The result is a series of portraits that form a link between the work of To
Sang and Goslinga’s own turbulent childhood, as well as his distinct memories of the diversity of
people he encountered in the district. It is a series brimming with nostalgia, full of individual
narratives and characters, and interspersed with snapshots from Goslinga’s own family album.

American Photography 30
Amilus Inc 2015 ISBN 9781886212428 Acqn 24606
Hb 24x29cm 384pp 357col ills £58.50
For its 30th-anniversary volume, American Photography goes back to basics in a deluxe
clothbound tome with over 350 of the year's best photographs. In a subtle nod to earlier books
from the collection, the volume is presented with straightforward elegance in a genuine cloth
hardcover and dust jacket. Designed by Robert Newman, former creative director of Reader's
Digest, and with jacket photographs by David Butow from a series taken in South Africa during
the ceremonies that followed the death of President Nelson Mandela, American Photography 30
contains images chosen by a distinguished jury of photo and art professionals from among the
9,644 photos submitted for consideration by photographers, magazines, agencies, publishers and
schools. The collection represents the finest work being created by today's top talents and
honours the relationship between photographer and client who together seek smart, one-of-a-kind
visual solutions for magazines, advertisements and books, despite dwindling budgets and
challenging time constraints. In an era of social media and stock imagery that threatens to further
homogenize the creation and distribution of photography, American Photography looks beyond
the ordinary to celebrate not only the power of the well-crafted still image in its finest form, but to
honour its maker and the creative personnel who insist on creating only the most original,
thoughtful and compelling pictures.

Mangini Studio
Candela 2014 ISBN 9780984573943 Acqn 23915
Hb 22x26cm 96pp 54col ills £42.95
According to the artists, this collection of photographed hairstyles was not originally intended to
be disseminated, as the first image was conceived as a one-off piece. Gordon Stettinius, then a
professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, had given his students an assignment to create
an edition of 16 images, which were collated into portfolios. Stettinius, having always contributed
to these class portfolios, decided to get a perm at a hair salon and then visit a commercial
photography studio to get a studio portrait. Thus an accidental collaboration was born. Terry
Brown was the studio photographer at Mangini Studio at the time, and she wound up with the
task of delivering a traditional studio shoot. Brown has been delivering the goods since, recording
each hairstyle that Stettinius has put together. Seven years and nearly 50 studio portraits later,
this project has been gathered in this extraordinary and witty volume.
