Living in the Heart of Nature - Ten Portraits

The book on the trendy topic of Conscious Living: getting out and starting over in harmony with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, reflecting on the essentials.

Ten extraordinary lifestyles from around the world, beautifully photographed.

Inspiration for anyone longing for proximity to nature and a free way of life

Between 2015 and 2020, photographer Brice Portolano traveled from the islands of Alaska to the Patagonian steppe and from the forests of Lapland to the highlands of Iran to photographically stage the daily lives of ten extraordinary people.

All of them have turned their backs on their old lives and dared to make a radical new start: in the midst of nature, they have built a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city, mostly without phone signal or internet access. Although this is sometimes very difficult, it means freedom, self-determination, and fulfillment, as well as the feeling of having found the right place in the world: in the heart of nature and in harmony with themselves.

Ten exciting portraits of alternative lifestyles have been created:
1. Tinja, the dog sled driver in Lapland
2. Ali, the Persian rider
3. Barny, the self-supporter in a circus wagon in Cumbria, England
4. Zaya, the reindeer herder in the Mongolian taiga
5. George, the father of the hostel in Tuscany
6. Sylwia, the artist on the Greek island of Lefkas
7. Sky, the Argentinian gaucho
8. Ben, the hunter in Utah, USA
9. Jerry, the oyster farmer in Alaska
10. Elena, the lighthouse keeper in Norway

Photographer Paul Scane was born in London and has dedicated the last few decades
entirely to his hometown. A unique photo collection of real, authentic London - off the beaten track.

Paul Scane was born in London and has dedicated his entire photographic career to his hometown in recent years. Armed only with his camera, he walked the streets of the British capital for days and weeks, always on the lookout for an exciting motif, an unusual sight, an expressive gesture, but also for bizarre events or unusual colours and shapes in the architecture. For Paul, London is a constant source of inspiration that brings new and unusual things to light every day - the place he knows best and at the same time rediscovers every day.

Mostly in black and white, a unique collection has emerged over the years that captures the character and soul of real London in more detail than perhaps any illustrated London book before it. Where many previously published volumes on the subject of London are primarily a journey in pictures along the tourist hotspots, "London Unseen" is the character study of a world metropolis - based on its people and streets, away from Big Ben and Trafalgar Square.

In short but concise texts, "London Unseen" provides an introduction to this unknown side of the British capital based on the photos and their stories.

Op een met klimop begroeide muur zit Rasmus Kofoed, chef van Geranium in Kopenhagen – een van de beste restaurants ter wereld. Wat al deze portretten gemeen hebben, naast een gevoel van intimiteit en nabijheid, is één terugkerend element: een glas.

Zo legt Gérard-Philippe Mabillard zijn vrienden en kennissen vast – stuk voor stuk prominente namen uit de wereld van film, kunst, mode, design en cultuur.

Mabillard begon zijn carrière als creatief professional, voordat hij directeur werd van de non-profitorganisatie Vin du Valais. In zijn werk fungeert het glas – gevuld met wijn of water – als verbindend element tussen de geportretteerden: een krachtig symbool voor vriendschap, ontmoeting en gemeenschap.

Met dit fotografieproject draagt Mabillard bovendien actief bij aan Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia, waarmee het project niet alleen esthetische, maar ook maatschappelijke waarde krijgt.

The unparalleled jeweler Schullin from Vienna enjoys worldwide fame for his unique artistic jewelry, handcrafted in his own workshop. His clients and admirers include celebrities such as Elton John, Christine Kaufmann, and Barbra Streisand.

Author Vivienne Becker has now compiled an exclusive coffee table book that pays tribute to the stunning work of Herbert Schullin, a true pioneer in his field who has been at the forefront of his creative craft for nearly half a century.

The meticulously compiled coffee table book "Schullin - Tradition Reinvented" offers a wealth of beautiful, creative, and desirable pieces from his lovingly handmade collections, and undoubtedly represents the pinnacle of goldsmithing. For jewelry enthusiasts and admirers of the traditional Viennese jeweler, this book is an enchanting ode to Schullin's inimitable creativity.

"Curves make up the entire Universe," Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil's star architect, once said. Photographer and director Olaf Heine met the legendary architect shortly before his death. Since 2010, the renowned portrait and fashion photographer has been tracing the soul of Brazil, showcasing its sensual joy of life with a keen sense of forms and textures.

In his newly revised photo book "Brazil," Heine contrasts the Brazilian landscape and architecture with the curves of its people – surfers, dancers, and beautiful women. He deliberately avoids stereotypical colors, offering an unusual black-and-white perspective on Brazil. But Heine is not only interested in the richness of curves in architecture and bodies but also in their continuation in life: Everything is flexible and in constant motion. From the intensity of desire to the lightness of forms, Olaf Heine shows us a fascinating country in all its diversity, beauty, and melancholy.

In his works, Heine depicts the longed-for place that the first generation of Brazilian modernists created in architecture, literature, and music in the mid-20th century as an aesthetic expression of a social, political, and urban society undergoing positive changes. A wishful thinking and supposed utopia that many people look back on with nostalgia, especially in the current context.

The coffee-table book "Brazil" is the epitome of Brazilian "saudade," the longing and yearning for the tropical beauty of nature, vibrant cities, and unique people. For all Brazil enthusiasts, this illustrated book is a wonderful gift to repeatedly immerse themselves in the country and its optimistic lifestyle, free from clichés.

With texts by Oscar Niemeyer, Ruy Castro, Marcelo Camelo, and Matthias Harder.

Hawaii is a land of extremes, one of the most biodiverse and unspoiled regions on Earth. But it is also the land of hula and surfing. For many years, the renowned German photographer Olaf Heine traveled and documented the beautiful Hawaiian world, creating an impressive photographic oeuvre. Sometimes vibrant and energetic, sometimes melancholic and sensual, but always monochromatic, he succeeds in capturing the intoxicating attitude to life in connection with the decisive forces of this place.

The ocean is omnipresent and the secret architect of Hawaii. Hawaii revolves around the elemental and spiritual meaning of the sea. The vibrant, constantly changing, restless waves of the Pacific determine the rhythm of Hawaii's eight islands and their inhabitants. They nourish life here and define the people - whether fishermen, surfers or tourists. Heine describes the interaction between man and nature and the strength and values that arise from it in timelessly beautiful photos. The cracks of our time and the extent of human activity are shown here with the same power as sensuality, diversity and wild, unspoiled nature. In Hawaii, we begin to understand what creation means.

A fascinating illustrated book that reveals and brings closer the lush beauty of the land, the dreamy culture, and the individuality of the people – be it surf legend Laird Hamilton, musician Jack Johnson, or writer Kawaii Strong Washburn. A coffee table book for anyone who has always wanted to gain an authentic and direct insight into what truly makes this corner of the world special.

With forewords by Pulitzer Prize winner William Finnegan and Hawaiian author Kristiana Kahakauwila.

Finally, a flower book that focuses not only on ornamental plants, but also makes room for the wild flowers we encounter along the way. In her new photo book "Wild Flowers, Floramour series," garden enthusiast Anja Klaffenbach turns her attention to all those wild flowers we come across during walks on grassy verges, meadows, parking lots, or hiking trails. Often rather inconspicuous, with small flower cups, these meadow flowers add color accents that define spring and summer.

However, the names of these beauties are generally unknown to the observer, but Klaffenbach now puts an end to this. In her known loving style, this edition of "Floramour" treats every floral theme. The coffee table book aims to be engaging, convey botanical knowledge, and present the plants from all angles, with photos, graphics, and drawings.

Klaffenbach has succeeded brilliantly in this, resulting in a photo book that is unparalleled. Both from the outside and the inside, the book radiates the beauty of our nature. Opening it immediately puts you in a summer mood, allowing you to enjoy the detailed and atmospheric images.

In beautiful images, Klaffenbach shows the aesthetics of wildflowers, which often go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This high-quality photo book is a perfect addition to previously published "Floramour" titles and certainly should not be missing from this collection. For anyone looking for an exceptionally beautiful book as a gift for dedicated flower lovers, full of inspiration and emotion, do not hesitate to get this copy.

Luxuriant, full, and incredibly beautiful, the peony is one of the most magnificent flowers to adorn our gardens. It saddens lovers of this beauty that it is quite rare. Depending on the variety, its flowering period is limited to a few weeks between May and June. But when the peony finally decides to open its bud, it practically bursts apart, presenting a bombastic display of fully filled blossoms that delight peony enthusiasts in ecstatic admiration.

Now all friends of this opulent ornamental plant can rejoice, because for the long wait between flowering periods, the photo book "Peonies, Floramour" offers an unparalleled substitute. The concept of this extraordinary book series strives for a new and comprehensive approach to this aesthetically appealing plant. In addition to photographs in intoxicating colors and delicate details, author Anja Klaffenbach imparts captivating botanical knowledge and a skillful overview of the cultural history of this magnificent flower in this coffee table book. To serve this purpose, the high-quality images are complemented by intricate sketches, drawings, and engaging texts.

"Peonies, Floramour" is a unique botanical portrait that will surprise even seasoned flower lovers, as this book excels on all levels. With a beautifully designed cover, the coffee table book itself becomes an eye-catcher on the bookshelf. A source of inspiration for all aspiring gardeners and the perfect gift for all admirers of finely nuanced natural beauty.

The tulip is undoubtedly one of Europeans' favorite flowers. Therefore, it deserves its own title in the outstanding "Floramour" series. This series is aimed at all flower enthusiasts and dedicates a photo book specifically to one variety in a new and refreshing way. Authors Karin Greiner and Simone Braun uniquely succeed in capturing and conveying the graceful character and aesthetics of the tulip in "Tulips, Floramour."

In a beautiful tribute, the photo book "Tulips, Floramour" honors this beloved flower. In addition to stunning photos, this coffee table book offers its readers a captivating, comprehensive insight into this vibrant ornamental plant with informative texts and detailed drawings. Tulips are often considered a symbol of prosperity and luxury. In the 17th century, these flowers achieved a particularly high status in the Netherlands, causing a true tulip mania throughout Europe. At times, the flower bulbs even took on a currency-like character. Tulip cultivation became a respectable enterprise, and it is therefore not surprising that this led to an impressive diversity of over 4200 tulip varieties.

The informative photo book briefly discusses the plant's cultural history. Tulips symbolize new beginnings. They are among nature's messengers of spring and definitively mark the end of winter with their arrival. Even after being cut, they continue to grow, embodying vitality like few other flowers.

For all tulip fans and flower lovers, "Tulips, Floramour" is an inspiring portrait and a fitting gift that not only dazzles with magnificent images but also boasts a beautiful visual presentation. For those who already own previous "Floramour" titles, adding "Tulips" will stylishly expand their collection.

Ten Years in North Korea

There are few countries in the world that remain so closed that almost no one from outside gains insight. North Korea is certainly one of the most secluded. The dictatorship, which has been ruled by the same family for generations, prohibits almost all contact beyond its borders, isolating 26 million inhabitants from the rest of humanity. This is why Xiomara Bender's photo book "Waiting for the Rainbow" is so valuable, as it deals with the Korean region in a very honest way.

The author portrays the lives and daily routines of the people in this country, which few get the chance to know. She wants to draw attention to the many destinies and the changes of recent years, which in this strict dictatorship are only possible in subtle micro-steps. Through her photographic journey through time, her readers can witness this transformation that brings hope. People who appear more self-assured as the book progresses, a smile that turns into laughter, clothing that gradually reflects more fashion than uniformity. All of this is shown to us by the author in emotionally resonant images.

Over almost ten years, Bender undertook nine trips to North Korea to bring back this unique photo documentation. The award-winning artist wants to break through the culture of deliberate ignorance about North Korea with her work and, without reproach, draw attention to the unvarnished daily lives of the people who live there and their state-orchestrated routines.

In addition to the moving images, the author encourages reflection through many short texts, without coming across as didactic. Her language is art, which opens up to those who pave the way.
