设计师JP.Brouard在他自己的博客上分享了他的家庭相册，这些既平凡又不平凡的影像，正是摄影最基本的意义的体现。“过几周就是父母的结婚纪念日了，所以我从旧铁盒里翻出了一些老照片，基本上都是两个人约会的照片。那是在1973年，五年之后我才出生。看着这些他们亲密无间的照片，感觉有点怪怪的，那时候的他们没有小孩，没有房子，也没有伴随着这些东西带来的快乐和悲伤。我常常希望可以回到他们的那个年代，跟他们一起玩，无忧无虑。”

Designer JP.Brouard showed his family photos on his blog. These sweet images are both ordinary and extraordinary, they express the most basic and the most essential meaning in photography. ”My parents’ anniversary is coming up in a few weeks, so I had a rummage through an old tin my mom has with a wad of old photos. I found these few of them together. Most of these were taken in 1973, so five years before I was born. It’s sort of strange seeing them together in the photos though.  No kids around, no house, no joys and sorrows the following years would bring. I often wish I could go back in time and hang out with them in those days that seem so carefree.” - JP.Brouard

自1970年代开始，曼彻斯特摄影师Kevin Cummins因拍摄包括David Bowie、Patti Smith、性手枪、Joy Division在内的众多知名音乐人而被大家所熟知，作为首席摄影师，他与英国著名的音乐杂志《NME》合作了25年之久。在曼彻斯特的成长经历，令他更为深入的了解乐队的内在精神与力量，因而，他的那些发自肺腑的影像，显得更为直接、真实且铿锵有力。

起初，拍摄Joy Division只是一个《NME》委派的普通拍摄任务，到后来，渐渐的发展为Cummins长期的个人项目。这本摄影集中，也首次曝光了许多Joy Division成员在光环退去后的私人生活瞬间，乐队的排练和演出的记录等等。本书由Rizzoli出版，208页，同时还收录了Cummins同Bernard Sumner的深度访问。

Manchester born Kevin Cummins became known in the 1970s for his visceral photographs of musicians like David Bowie, Patti Smith, The Sex Pistols and Joy Division; leading his career to a 25-year association with NME Magazine, for which he was chief photographer. Having grown up in Manchester, Cummins had an inherent understanding of the band as a product of their bleak environments, proving to be a vital ingredient in understanding what was needed to appropriately depict the band. What started out as an assignment quickly turned into a project for Cummins, photographing the band frequently while practicing, playing live or just hanging out. This extensive series, most of which previously unseen, has been published by Rizzoli as a 208-page hardcover book alongside an introductory essay by Jay McInerney and a conversational interview between Cummins and Bernard Sumner about the band.

两位德国导演Gereon Wetzel和Joerg Adolph一同完成了一部关于德国史泰德（Steidl）出版社的纪录片《How To Make A Book With Steidl》，点击这里观看片花。

40多年来，Gerhard Steidl秉持着流淌于德国人血液中的严谨和一丝不苟的精神，同包括Martin Parr、Joel Sternfeld、Robert Frank、Ed Ruscha、Karl Lagerfeld、Günter Grass、Robert Adams、Jeff Wall在内的世界上最优秀的摄影师合作，从设计编排、制作到印刷出版的每一个环节都倾力倾为、全力以赴，只为“从技术上帮助艺术家把他们的艺术理念变成现实”。

关于史泰德（Steidl）：

史泰德（Steidl）出版社位于德国的哥廷根，以出版高质量的摄影画册闻名。对于其创始人Gerhard Steidl来说，他的出版理念就是艺术家是国王，出版人是仆人。史泰德平均一年出版120本书，其中很多都是世界顶级摄影大师的作品。Gerhard Steidl说道， “我拍了几年以后，发现对自己的工作一点儿也不满意，我不愿意让我的职业生涯终止在一个三流艺术家身上，总是要仰望周围比我更优秀的人，我想，和那些伟大的艺术家共事该是件令人兴奋的事情，这就是史泰德出版公司创办的由来。 ”  （Gerhard Steidl访问全文）

For 40 years, Gerhard Steidl has combined the roles of printer and publisher, resolved to personally check each sheet leaving his printing shop in Göttingen. This perfectionism, combined with an unconditional love for books, for the traditional printing craft, and a commitment to the quality standards of manufacturing (in the original sense of the word, made by hand), has gained worldwide attention.

The most internationally renowned photographic artists vie for the opportunity to collaborate with Gerhard Steidl, to conceive and produce the perfect publication with him. Filmed in the direct cinema style, HOW TO MAKE A BOOK WITH STEIDL (Trailer) observes the publisher, as he collaborates with the world famous photographers Joel Sternfeld, Robert Frank, Ed Ruscha, Jeff Wall and Robert Adams.
