A. galerie and its owner Arnaud Adida present each week on a different theme an exhibition of the photos available for sale! This is: The Last Dance “You live as long as you dance.” – Rudolf Nureyev "Dance is the most sublime, the most moving, the most beautiful of all the arts, because it is not a simple translation or abstraction of life; it is life itself" - Henry Havelock Ellis A. galerie…
For ten years S. Billie Mandle photographed confessionals throughout the United States. She visited churches in small towns and large cities, creating images that depict the visible – and invisible – traces of people, communities, histories and dogmas. The images speak to the beliefs that define these dark rooms and shape this intimate, yet institutional, ritual. Photographing from the perspective of the penitent, she used a large format camera and…
Daix, last Saturday night, May 30th, It is 11.10 p.m., I decided to wait patiently under a Velux, the passage of the SPACE X capsule. My eyes scan the sky on the west side, and all of a sudden in this cloudless night, at 11:15 p.m. sharp, as predicted by NASA, the DRAGON SPACE X capsule, arises and passes high in its orbit, at 420 klms altitude. I can see…

Terry O’Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O’Neill’s association with Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the era of Daniel Craig. It was O’Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O’Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O’Neill’s casual, on-set photographs of a […]
The challenge for portrait photography is to provide a meaningful response to the question that lies behind our interest in the faces of people. We look to the face – and that includes our own – provoked by simple but profound curiosity about the person being looked at, searching for at least a clue to their nature, their soul, recognition of their unique being. Martin Schoeller in Works: 1999-2019 and Göran Gnaudschun in Are You Happy? rise to the challenge with the quest for the elusive nature of identity that may be revealed or hidden in the human face. Brandishing […]
Sandra Cattaneo Adorno’s photography provides an evocative hymn to Rio de Janeiro. In her latest monograph, Sandra Cattaneo Adorno explores the unique character of Rio de Janeiro through images that combine moments of street photography with abstract, lyrical compositions. Adorno’s photographs emphasize the human body which, isolated and transformed by the strong golden light, contrasts against the natural beauty of Rio’s beaches and acquires a symbolic dimension. As a result, Adorno’s beguiling images not only capture people and moments with visual maturity and acuity, but also evoke something quintessential about the city, something a little darker: the bittersweet yearning that […]
The Selects Gallery was founded in February 2018 in New York City as a platform to discover, learn, and acquire art photography from the world’s best fashion photographers. The gallery was born from the desire of founder Marie Audier D’Alessandris to give a second life to these images sleeping in archives and in many cases forgotten after the original photoshoot. Marie is a French-American married to an Italian and the mum of 2 boys, living in New York City after several years in Latin America. Throughout her career as a global Fashion and Beauty executive, Marie was privileged to work […]
The work of photographer and Rhode Island School of Design professor Steven B. Smith (born 1963) chronicles the transition of the Western landscape into suburbia. Robert Pinsky, US Poet Laureate, wrote of his work, “Smith’s images record not so much a contrast as two violent absences joining as a single force. Landfill, seedling, turnabout, heating coil collude with the sky and mountains in a triumph of disproportion: scale not so much confused or lost as irrelevant.” Steven B. Smith: Your Mountain is Waiting documents the accelerating suburbanization of Smith’s native Utah. Peeling back the layers of westward expansion with equal […]
Kyle Meyer pairs digital photography with traditional Swazi crafts to portray the oppressed LGBT community in Eswatini. Kyle Meyer has worked between Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and New York City since 2009, creating richly tactile artworks as conceptually layered and complicated as they are visually lush and intricate. In this debut monograph, Meyer’s portraits from his Interwoven series reflect an interest in infusing digital photography with traditional Swazi crafts and in giving voice to silenced members of the LGBTQ community, who are marginalized in eSwatini. Tension between the necessity of the individuals to hide their queerness for basic survival and their […]
A photographer passionate about abandoned places, Jonk traveled all over Eastern Europe part of the former Soviet Union to immortalize the traces of another time. From East Germany to Ukraine, via Hungary and Bulgaria, he surveyed these neglected areas and crossed many “time capsules”. Mines, military bases, theaters, schools, and even hospitals are all places in which Soviet communism was embodied. So many places bearing strong symbols, working currency, political figures. Bunkers of another age, the Tchernobyl exclusion zone, military schools, tell us, in their own way, of the 20th century. “I travel the world in search of abandoned places. […]
When Life magazine asked Gordon Parks to illustrate a recurring series of articles on crime in the United States in 1957, he embarked on a six-week journey that took him and a reporter to the streets of New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Unlike much of his prior work as staff photographer at the magazine, the images were made in color using only available light. The resulting eight-page photo-essay “The Atmosphere of Crime” was noteworthy for its bold aesthetic and sophistication, and how it challenged pervasive stereotypes about criminality in mainstream media. The photographs provided a richly-hued, cinematic […]
When Baldwin Lee first arrived in the south, he did not know what he would photograph. He took a 2,000-mile exploratory trip on the back roads photographing anything that interested him with his 4 x 5-inch view camera. “My subjects included landscapes, cityscapes, close-up details, night studies, interiors of commercial and residential buildings, and portraits of people—white and black, old and young, rural and urban, well-to-do and poor,” he writes in his manuscript, In Consideration of Photographing in the South. “Upon proofing the film, I saw that the suspicion I had had while making the photographs was confirmed—what interested me […]
Bruno Beucher photographs the sea, the waiting, the absence. Each image reveals a story and a daily life that seems to repeat itself. Each take highlights the fate of those who remain on the ground. The notion of portrait is completely revisited in such a tribute to these women who watch for departures and watch for returns, as much as a tribute to the sea and to those who face it. The photographer invents an inextricably braided architectural algebra. The tracery creates frames within the coves and other places. This does not mean, however, that Beucher frolics randomly. Everything is […]
