• Julianne Moore at the Crillon Hotel, Paris (2010) is set in the deeply luxuriant interior of the Crillon, an 18th Century masterpiece of neo-classical architecture, renowned for its display of delicate sculpture and extraordinary wood panels. In sheer lingerie but otherwise fully dressed with a belt, shoes, stole, and bedecked with jewellery, Moore looks caught in a moment of intimacy. Her gaze, however, holds us, confronting us with our desire as we become lost in the drenched flash lit moment, highlighting Moore's sensuality and the opulence of her surrounds.

• Lara Stone (2010) sees the model reclining in swathes of black tulle and chiffon, a slick of satin flowing from the ceiling across the floor. Stone rests contemplatively as though a patient sitter for a Joshua Reynolds painting. The feeling is of a bygone time when days passed more slowly. Her gaze is momentarily diverted away from the camera, suggesting we have caught her in a moment of private thought, yet her body remains obediently fixed in an almost porcelain doll like pose.

Maxwell Anderson - Ten Days in July

This book is kind of a post script to the earlier See You Soon.

Following on from the book See You Soon, Ten Days in July documents

Jun's 10 day visit to London one year after she returned to Tokyo.

Through photographs and personal emails, Ten Days In July briefly steps

in to an endearing relationship which is forever disrupted by the turmoil

of long distance.

When the couple were separated, they thought they would never see

each other again. The four months they spent together would remain a

memory. However, the strength of their love for each other prevailed.

The book begins with a short email dialogue, catching the torment of

being so far apart. But when re-united, it is evident through the

photographs that being together comes naturally, although in some

cases, looking closer at Jun's expression, the complexity of the

situation haunts the atmosphere.

Published in an edition of 100 copies, each numbered by Anderson, the

book also has one page torn out from each copy.

Jonathan Safran Foer - Tree of Codes

This book has been getting a lot of attention and I'm not surprised.

There is a nice microsite from the publisher Visual Editions that has lots of detail about the ideas behind and production of the book.

I ordered my copy direct from the publisher and I may have just been unlucky, but I had really terrible service - you may be better off trying to get a copy elsewhere.
