Once a year, the Juxtapoz Magazine photo issue is released to eagerly awaiting fans of bleeding-edge photography. For the first time, Juxtapoz Photo pulls together in one volume the featured artists who since 1994 have been redefining a new movement of art and culture through provocative lenswork, groundbreaking camera angles, intense and often irreverent subject matter, moody and vibrant colors, and intimate portraiture. Juxtapoz Photo showcases a diverse group of current photographers, both established and up and coming, with a mix of personal and documentary images. The photos are eclectic in style and subject — from portraits of celebrities and anonymous people, to snapshots from travels abroad and intimate moments captured on film — but all photos are united by the Juxtapoz stamp of intriguing freshness and outsider perspectives. Contributors include Corey Arnold, Estevan Oriol, Alex Prager, Heather Culp, Angela Boatwright, Dylan Maddux, Sam Bassett, Ye Rin Mok, Jesse Pollock, Andy Mueller, and many more.
Released just in time for Christmas and ready to go in our book department.

He Hongqing is China’s fastest performer of face mask changing, a dazzling display of gesture and trickery that forms an important part of traditional Sichuan Opera. Face changing began 300 years ago, long after the original Sichuan opera – a traditional Chinese opera originating in China’s southwestern Sichuan province. Swapping the brightly colored masks is used to reflect changes in a character’s mood. Impressive stuff! And check out that poster artwork in the background while he is being interviewed!

Designed by the Commando Group and produced in collaboration with Hunting Lodge. Featuring a felt monster pattern inspired by Flanellograf, the once state of the art technology for storytelling in kindergarten. Perfect for spreading some Xmas cheer.

Green with envy. Feeling blue. White lies. Grey areas. In every language spoken on earth human beings use colors to express themselves. World renowned author, Vladimir Nabokov, claimed he could hear color and actually assigned a color to each letter of the alphabet based on each letter’s particular sound. The Eskimos of the polar regions have countless words that uniquely describe the color white. In the world of graphics some designers have devoted their entire body of work to one color, sometimes showing it off in all of its full-bodied glory, sometimes stripping it back to its barest essentials.
Colour Mania brings together an eclectic group of talented designers who have one thing in common: they are artists who simply can’t get enough of one particular color, be that red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black or white. This book offers a depth of understanding of individual colors that is unprecedented.
Comes in six different color covers. Shop
