Sunday.
PAUL KOOIKER

A simple Sunday with an opulent model in a garden and a world of abstraction!
Celebrity.
KENJI HIRASAWA

This is an outstanding book. Not only is it beautifully designed but it seems to delve into the nature of celebrity with a witty critique. Shot with a heat sensitive camera at Madam Tussauds London, the camera picks up fait cool siloette of the wax models with the public in hot flashes of frenzy! The concept of celebrity could not have been more hollow and the masses which follow more fused with fever!
The King of Photography.
TIANE DOAN NA CHAMPASSAK

A wonderful collection of images of the King of Thailand - from bank notes to posters and other official images.
The King is also an ammature photographer himself and is pictured with a camera slung around him in all the images.
Films.
PAUL GRAHAM

Another abstract investigation into the endangered world of film grains! A fitting farewell.
Elad Lassry.
ELAD LASSRY

The generic image used in its most poetic manner.
Firework Studies.
PIERRE LE HORS

A thorough collection of fireworks easily flipped through offering a flashing and contrasty sequence.
Incubi et Succubi.
LELE SAVERI

Lele seeks out his nightmares and in doing so seamlessly mixes documentary type images with constructed images! And thus a phantasmagoria of images!
Arthropoda.
HAROLD STRAK

A surprising study of what may seem like abstract black and white images reveals in fact a collection of dead organisms - from moths to flies.
I Heart Transylvania.
JASON NOCITO

An intimate journey moving through a variety of subjects which all fall together poetically in the entirety.
No Man's Land
Mishka Henner

Google Maps images have had phenomenal popularity amongst photographers. In this collection Mishka follows routes through Europe in what seems like the middle of the country side. Each image is graced by a curb crawler -- actually there are not curbs to crawl -- so its just a lady by the country road waiting for a customer.
Aron Morel is a London based publisher of limited edition art books working with established and emerging artists.
