Each year, Bruce Weber adds a new edition to his 'All-American' art book series. 'Leap of Faith' is now number 15, which documents the facets of American life with expressive snapshots and portraits. Appearing at teNeues Publishing, the centerpiece is a long photo essay Weber shot 2015 in Richmond, Virginia. "Taking inspiration from the work of Angela Patton, an activist who organizes a father-daughter weekend each year, Weber presents a story of family, community and the impact of the justice system on everyday life in the city," the publishing company writes about the newest publication by the photographer.
Bruce Weber takes a photographic look at the life of Gordon Gronkowski´s life dedicated to sport: The father trained his five sons to become professional football and baseball players. Also presented: the photo memoir of Misa Rusek, whose family’s journey begins in turn-of-the-century Japan and continues today in Israel, with reminiscences of internment camps and postwar California in between. Television presenter and political correspondent John Dickerson offers a personal reflection on the life and career of his mother, Nancy Dickerson, the pioneering CBS newswoman. The book also celebrates people daring enough to take risks : Bruce Meyers, inventor of the Meyers-Manx dune buggy, and Jama Hedgecoth, the founder of the Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in rural Georgia.

"The ancient Greeks thought the gods dwelled on Mount Olympus. We can confidently report that they’re among us." teNeues writes about the company´s new publication. The photographs taken for the popular Dieux du Stade calendar feature players of the famous international rugby club, the Stade Français Paris and athletes from other disciplines such as football, handball, judo, and swimming – in all their unclothed glory.
This second volume of the successful Dieux du Stade book presents photographs by Fred Goudon, whose work has focused on the male form for over 20 years. His stunning composition and versed use of light create an intimate atmosphere and transform the athletes into Greek gods – well, at least in the photos.
FRED GOUDON was born in Cannes, France. He studied journalism and started working as a press photographer. In the late 1980s, he moved to Los Angeles and found his calling for fashion photography and his ability to highlight the beauty of masculinity. He works for model agencies and fashion labels and has published several books and calendars.
