The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
The photographs in FASHION were made by Mark Power over a period of 27 years and across 23 countries. They were taken at construction sites, factories, quarries, shipyards, foundries, recycling facilities, theatres and other locations where things are being made, or fashioned.
The majority of the images were made while on commission. Some are of recognisable architectural landmarks while others are more obscure. Some focus on tiny, often overlooked details while others demonstrate Power’s skill at capturing the monumental. Collectively they reveal an ongoing practice where every photograph is meticulously composed and considered. Importantly, the images in the book are devoid of captions, descriptions or dates. As a result they are sequenced neither by location nor chronologically but solely by use of visual links of colour, form and light. A gentle humour is often revealed in the details—a hole in a shoe, rows of white gloves hung out to dry or a painstakingly arranged cupboard of brooms and brushes. Removed from their original commercial or industrial context they become elusive and poetic.
Power began looking at his archive of construction pictures in this way during a Magnum Photos Live Lab at The House of Beautiful Business in Lisbon in 2018, when he worked collaboratively to attempt to sequence around 200 photographs. Influenced then and now by Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan’s landmark book Evidence (1977), Power’s project has grown and evolved over the following seven years to this published form.
The earliest photographs in the book were made during the construction of the Millennium Dome (1997-2000), documented by Power in over one hundred site visits. This work returned to the 19th century tradition of a singular photographer documenting the construction of great public building from start to finish. However, before he took a single picture he carefully negotiated the freedom to make his own work on the site, rather than be told what to photograph, or how. Ever since, his work has followed this same formula. Fashion is, in part, a celebration of what is possible within the commercial world if there is trust on both sides and the photographer is given artistic licence and liberty.
