• 160 extraordinary artworks – the first coffee table book from the renowned Canadian fine art photographer.
• An unparalleled combination of photography and the element of water.
• The fascinating photographs make the book itself a work of art.

Step into an enchanting world of underwater photography, far removed from traditional expectations. Barbara Cole allows water to disrupt gravity and visual conventions, causing her models – predominantly women – to float, glide, and twirl through the waves, enveloped in ethereal fabrics or nothing more than a veil of bubbles.

These breathtaking artworks by Cole are coveted by leading public and private collections and have garnered worldwide admiration. Her photographs have evolved into true paintings, where the visualization of transformation, free from the constraints of time, comes to life in an enchanting and poetic visual language.

Discover a unique journey through the depths of photography, where boundaries blur and imagination comes alive.

In the world of photography, there is art that touches, and then there is art that shocks. Barbara van Ittersum belongs to the latter category – a photographer who dares to push, challenge and redefine the boundaries of perception.

Her work introduces a new vocabulary: Barbarism. It is more than a concept – it is a visual language that speaks of femininity, yet is universal. A language that transcends gender, understood, felt and embodied by both women and men.

Barbara's camera is not an instrument, but an extension of her soul. Each image is a journey through complex landscapes: religion, sexuality, nature, cultural clashes, freedom and identity. Her lens penetrates where others would hesitate, revealing what usually remains hidden.

Her photographs are a contradiction: simultaneously confronting and enchanting. They turn the viewer into a voyeur, a witness to intimate moments that are both universal and personal. Each image tells a story that goes beyond what is visible.

The collector's edition of 'Barbaranalogica' is more than a book. It is an art object, packaged in a specially designed box, accompanied by three signed and numbered photographs. Each copy is unique, just like every glance through Barbara's lens.

This is more than photography. This is a philosophical statement about seeing, feeling and understanding. Barbara van Ittersum invites us to look at the world anew – with new eyes, without prejudice, with complete surrender to the complexity of human experience.
