“Bain Hogg’s stunning photographs serve as windows into the world of celebrity and pop culture. These behind-the-scenes portraits ooze glamour but also the raw and lonely flip side of fame.”âHarper’s Bazaar    Amid reports that up to a third of people in the United Sates suffer from celebrity worship syndrome, a stunning new photography book explores our unnatural obsession with fame.  The culmination of years of photographing the inner machinations of public and private events such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscars, Idols+Believers juxtaposes vibrant color images with sensitive black-and-white shots to present a fully rounded exploration of the nature of fame and fandom in the twenty-first century.   The color images reflect our apparently insatiable appetite for all things celebrity: from Kylie’s knickers and plastic Bart Simpson dolls, to tourist rides over Hollywood by helicopter. Starkly contrasted black-and-white images take the reader on an intimate behind-the-scenes tour of the fame machineâfrom the paparazzi pack chasing the latest starlet, to fans and press swarming together around a delighted Arnold Schwarzenegger, to the icy stare of Angelina Jolie as she heads for her latest premiere. No one is left out when it comes to dissecting the celebrity industry: Producers, pop idols, supermodels, fashion designers, publicists, look-alikes, paparazzi, and even porn stars all play their part.

Invited by the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo to unfold a striking exhibition, Abbas gathers his work on the three monotheistic religions for the first time in its catalogue, with written extracts from his travel diaries. From 1978 to 1980, Abbas covered the Iranian Revolution. Later, from Xinjiang to Morocco, from London to Timbuktu, he photographed the daily lives of Muslims, the rituals of their faith, and witnessed the emergence of some more radical voices. Driven by a desire to understand the internal tensions at work within Muslim societies, he exposed the conflict between a rising political ideology looking for inspiration in a mythical past and the universal desire for modernity and democracy. From 1995 to 2000, Abbas photographed Christian communities throughout the world with the same critical eye. On both journeys, he also recorded the lives of Jewish communities. Heralding the dawn of the “Third Millennium,” the year 2000 seemed to impose itself as the universal calendar, and therefore a symbol of Western civilization. That year, Jews celebrated the year 5760 and Muslims the year 1420. Abrahamâ“the first Jew”âis also claimed as a common ancestor by Christians and Muslims. Abbas has dedicated his work to the political and social coverage of the developing South. Since 1970, his work includes wars and revolutions in Biafra, Bangladesh, Ulster, Vietnam, the Middle East, Chile, Cuba, South Africa, and others. He is currently working on the clash of religions, defined as culture rather than faith, replacing political ideologies in the strategic struggles of the near future. Abbas has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1981.

“When I started photographing in Tokyo, my core subjects were elsewhere: in the developing world. And of course in my homeland, England. “Things changed when I met my wife, Miyako Yamada. I now had a compelling reason for being in Japan. “I started with a large project on Mount Fuji; later, when I brought my other Japanese material together, some images emerged, insisting on my attention, in a manner that felt like the beginnings of a book. “This process had a strong echo of what happened with an earlier book, The Pleasure Principle. “The book is about Tokyo, my Tokyo.” —photographer Chris Steele-Perkins

Chalk lines: The Caucasus is the amazing testimony of the only photographer who spent so much time-from before the Red Army's invasion of Chechnya until now-in this deeply unstable and fast-changing region of the world. It is a striking, moving, and compelling account. Born in Harlem in 1949 and wandering into East Berlin as the wall came down, Stanley Greene has shaped the world's press with his images. Now a member of the French agency VU, he worked for ten years in Chechnya, bringing the horrors of the conflict to the attention of the world. Greene was awarded the Eugene Smith Award in 2004.

For more than twenty-five years, Xavier Lambours has portrayed those who made cinema a myth: actors (Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Harvey Keitel, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman, Liz Taylor), directors (Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Orson Welles, François Truffaut, Wong Kar-Wai), screenwriters, cinematographers, set decorators; they all played the portrait game under the direction of this hugely talented eye.

Summer 2006. Thirty-three days of war in Lebanon. A beloved woman wants to leave. This is a diary about war. A diary about love. A diary about love in a time of war. A mix of pictures shot by Fouad Elkoury in Beirut in 1982 and in 2006, this intimate diary is a striking evocation of Lebanon, a country that has remained war-torn for more than twenty-five years.
