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.

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!
In the book A Certain Nature, after Giverny, Jean Gaumy offers an original vision of painter Claude Monet's world-famous garden. Over the seasons, he has intensified his formal research into plants, creating black-and-white compositions that border on the painterly and the abstract.
A place of artistic fascination for over a century, the garden of painter Claude Monet (1840-1926) in Giverny is today one of the most emblematic sites of French cultural heritage, with its famous water lily pond, immortalized in the paintings of the Impressionist master. It was in this setting, steeped in history and beauty, that the great Magnum photographer chose to cast his eye. Benefiting from privileged access to the garden as a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (French Fine Arts Academy), he has turned it into a veritable laboratory for photographic experimentation over several years (from 2016 to 2024). As a keen observer of nature, armed with his iPhone, he develops a singular approach, somewhere between abstraction and naturalism, scientific sensitivity and visual poetry.
In this book, Jean Gaumy explores the richness of plants, their structures, rhythms and almost microscopic details. Through the alleys of Giverny, Gaumy not only photographs a place, he also retraces the thread of his memories and tells us a story: that of his childhood, marked by the simple joy of a family garden, a place of discovery and reverie, to which he tries to bring back to life through these images. An essay by Jean-Christophe Bailly examines Jean Gaumy's “photographic decisions” in relation to the collective imagination surrounding Giverny, and completes the book.
