Marlies Dekkers

Carin Verbruggen and Ferry Drenthem Soesman

The idea of sexy Dutch underwear may seem like an oxymoron, but it will only take one glance at this remarkable book to convince you otherwise. Photographer Carin Verbruggen and art director Ferry Drenthem Soesman bring the edgy, kinky and very sexy designs of internationally renowned lingerie designer Marlies Dekkers to an edgy, kinky and very sexy full-color, large format book. The designer’s hard-edged, technicolor bras and panties show off to full advantage in Verbruggen’s photos, which bring in myriad influences ranging from SCUBA to bondage to David Copperfield. Verbruggen & Drenthem Soesman are responsible for the art direction and photography of all Dekkers’ printed campaign imagery, and the look they achieve is unforgettable.

Geert van Kesteren

Baghdad Calling

Photojournalist Geert van Kesteren shows the disorienting reality of war-torn Iraq as he chronicles the lives of ordinary Iraqi people living in Baghdad, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey during 2006 and 2007. This engrossing book combines van Kesteren’s professionally photographed images with the stories of Iraqis in their own words and hundreds of cell phone pictures and digital snap shots taken by the Iraqis themselves. Some reveal places that journalists dare not tread, others are a vivid chronicle of day-to-day life, as likely to show a beloved pet or two best girlfriends as the aftermath of a bombing attack.
