A word about my self published books:  The traditional photo book publishing world has dramatically changed and photographers are now pretty much responsible for the costs of the design and printing of their books even with a publisher involved. That can easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on size and quality etc. Those costs are usually not recovered. Self publishing with online platforms like BLURB has become a great alternative for me because there aren't any upfront costs and no storage, they print every single ordered book on demand, one at a time. Which means these books are far more expensive than traditionally published book, which are printed by the hundreds or thousands at a time.  The price is high, too high you might say, but we photographers work many months and sometimes years to produce the photography for a book, and then we keep working on every aspect of it before we send the printed result out into the world, hoping that the uniqueness of our visual ideas and stories will find an open eyed friend like yourself.  Preview and/or order (and let me know if you did, I'd like to hear from you!!) www.blurb.com/b/12090895-reflecting-new-york-softcover www.blurb.com/b/12617718-reflecting-new-york-hardcover www.blurb.com/b/12276784-reflecting-new-york-collectors-edition (the popular and also multi award winning KEEP GOING NEW YORK book is still available as softcover: www.blurb.com/b/11749106-keep-going-new-york )

Reflecting New York - the book

 

STEFAN FALKE Photography Newsletter View as Webpage

I am happy to announce my new little book Reflecting New York It is available worldwide on the self-publishing online platform blurb and can be previewed and/or ordered here:  blurb.com/b/12090895-reflecting-new-york With an introduction by New York journalist Claudia Steinberg

About the Book: Using a hand held mirror in locations around New York photographer Stefan Falke invites distant buildings, structures or other visuals into the main photo to create a viewing experience that requires a second look. At times the reflection in the mirror becomes the main photo. His goal is to visually loosen up the obvious, to create images that journalist Claudia Steinberg described with these words: "What pleasurable confusion, what wonderful bewilderment, such visual richness!”. He is letting his creativity run wild while hunting for visual angles for this personal book project, and although it is a difficult undertaking working with two images at once the results often surprise him as much as he hopes they will surprise and intrigue the viewer.
