Finnish photographer

A poetic journey to vacation spots that vacation themselves. Finns are only perceptible outside in the three summer months, but in the popular holiday resorts of Hanki or Naantali you can still feel a touch of summer flair in winter.

This book is a thoughtful guide for photographers through today’s complex landscape of images, with the ultimate goal of understanding how to make images that matter: Understanding Photographs, Making Photographs, and Moving in Pursuit of Unique.

The autobiographical documentation 'Fucking Carpe Diem' by Finnish photographer Elina BROTHERUS deals with the highly taboo topic of unwanted childlessness. Intelligently designed, the volume takes the viewer on an emotional journey into the human soul.

The photo volume 'Me Kaksi' by Pentti SAMMALLAHTI celebrates the chance encounter. It contains a selection of iconic as well as unpublished photographs from more than forty years of wandering the world and tells of the universality of emotional connection

'Dark Atlas' by Perttu SAKSA, combines documentary images with still lifes and abstract photographs that locate the subject of energy as a structural element of our society. Oil and fuel become as tangible as the problems caused by dependence on them.

The monograph 'Minkkinen' accompanying international exhibitions on the photo work of Arno Rafael MINKKINEN contains unusual b/w photographs that are reminiscent of his fellow students, Harry CALLAHAN and Aaron SISKIND, from Rhode Island School of Design.

Diary-like series, landscape shots and situational mood images. The catalog volume 'Why Not?' with further essays follows the latest development of the Finnish photographer Elina BROTHERUS. The book constantly explores the possibilities of photography.

Elina BROTHRUS found points of departure for the book 'Seabound' in the collection of Sørlandets Kunstmuseum. Some works are based on 19th century Romantic paintings, others on performative scores, for example by Yoko Ono, Valle Export or John Baldessari.

'It's a strange feeling to look back at the young person I used to be. What happened? What has changed? The apartments. The face has grown older. What else?' - At least not the style in Elina BROTHERUS' self-portraits, that has remained pretty constant.
