Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The celebrated contemporary photographer Michael Kenna presents a gorgeous new collection of images, all photographed with plastic Holga cameras. Michael Kenna is internationally renowned for producing evocative black-and-white images of nature and the urban environment. Often photographing at night or in the early morning hours, the majority of his photographs involve long time exposures with the camera on a tripod. However, some of Kenna's more quirky, whimsical, and unpredictable images have been photographed with inexpensive, hand-held, plastic Holga cameras. These cameras generally produce relatively lowfidelity images, with marked vignetting. Precisely because of these attributes and its portability, Kenna often carries a Holga camera, even when he is not specifically photographing. For this beautifully produced book, Kenna has chosen his favorite Holga images, many never seen before, from his vast archive of negatives. Despite their low-tech origin, these refined and artful photographs bear the hallmarks of Kenna's brilliant work.…

(9)pp., (1) 50 plates., (4)pp. Original black cloth with blind-stamped lettering on cover and spine, in original photo-illustrated dustjacket. Black illustrated endpapers. Titel page printed in red and black. "Michael Kenna's first photographs in the 1970's were of the landscape. In 1983, the death of the renowned English photographer Bill Brandt (b. 1904), whose work had been a major influence on Kenna, prompted him to visit the industrial sites which Brandt had photographed in the 1930's. They were only a few miles from Kenna's birthplace. The result was his first serious industrial photographic study, created of a four year period from 19831987, of the cotton and wool mills in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Photographs such as Bill Brandt's Chimney, Halifax, Yorkshire, 1983 and Bill Brandt's Snicket, Halifax, Yorkshire, 1986, were taken in homage to Brandt."

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No dust jacket as issued. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Kenna. Hardcover. Tan cotton cloth-covered boards with tipped in quadratone plate on cover and title stamped in black on cover and spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Michael Kenna. Introductory text by Dr. Ian B. Glover. 96 pp., with 75 quadratone plates beautifully printed on a natural textured art paper. 13 x 10 inches. This first edition was limited to 5300 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). A flawless copy. From the Introduction: "This book is an early vignette from Michael Kenna's far-reaching photographic odyssey. Some of these photographs, made almost forty years ago, are familiar, even famous, but many have never been seen before. They have been lying in wait, stored in a series of negative files. Normally, Kenna travels extensively and is not able to keep up with printing his extensive collection of negatives. It took the Covid pandemic and lockdown for him to search through his archives, rediscover these long-forgotten images, and print them in his darkroom. These photographs reveal a Northern England from Kenna's youth that, for the most part, no longer exists." From the publisher: "Michael Kenna was born in the small industrial town of Widnes in northwest England. The youngest of six children, Kenna grew up in a poor, working-class, Irish-Catholic family. He attended a seminary school for seven years with the intention of becoming a priest, after which he studied at the Banbury School of Art and later at the London College of Printing, before moving to the USA in the late seventies. The adjoining counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, where Kenna photographed in the early eighties, have much in common regarding their industrial development. Fiercely competitive, they share a border, a spine of mountains known locally as the Pennines, which helps to produce rain. The rise of a powerful cotton and wool industry, and the building of innumerable mills, canals, railways, chimneys and terraced worker houses, have been attributed in part to these high levels of precipitation. The local textile industry proliferated until the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a sudden, rapid decline and eventual decimation. It was during this precise time period that Kenna returned to the area to photograph, during the day and also at night. Kenna's early photographs of England launched his career and brought him international acclaim; yet it wasn't until last year, 2020, that he revisited this particular body of work to find many unprinted images. These discoveries are exquisitely presented in this important new Nazraeli Press monograph, Northern England 1983-1986. Beautifully printed on a natural textured art paper, accompanied by an introductory text by Dr. Ian B Glover, the seventy-five plates are reproduced in quadratone and bound into cotton cloth-covered boards reminiscent of the era. Limited to three thousand copies, and also available in both a special and a deluxe edition." Signed by Author.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This elegant collaboration pairs Michael Kenna's luminous black-and-white landscapes with Pico Iyer's contemplative prose, tracing the parallels of two lives lived in motion.Though they didn't meet until their sixties, photographer Michael Kenna and writer Pico Iyer had been unknowingly following similar paths for decades. Both were born in England, studied near Oxford in the 1970s, moved to the U.S. West Coast, and fell in love with Japan. This book brings their work together in a profoundly personal collaboration: more than sixty of Kenna's prints, each accompanied by short texts both from Iyer and Kenna themselves. Kenna's work-minimalist, often made in long exposure-captures fleeting moments of calm and clarity: a fog-bound canal in Venice, a deserted jetty in Mallorca, a line of trees dissolving into snow in Hokkaido. Spanning fifty years and five continents, these photographs offer meditations shaped by light, shadow, and quiet transformation. In prose that mirrors the restraint and depth of the images, Iyer writes about travel, childhood, coincidence, and the invisible threads that connect us. Beautifully printed and designed for slow reading and close looking, Same Sun Same Moon is a book for art lovers, writers, travelers, and anyone drawn to the subtle interplay of image and word, solitude and connection.…
