Book Description
Creative Photography and Wales explores the photographic tradition in Wales through the work of American photojournalist Eugene Smith's work in Wales in the 1950s. Smith is regarded as a master of the photo essay and one of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, and his photographs, set in the context of the work of photographers who shot the region in subsequent years--including those engaged in the "Valleys Project" during the 1980s--help us understand the ways in which twentieth century photography fixed an image of Wales, one that still resonates today.

Book Description
Cardiff After Dark is the first monograph by British-based Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz. Dakowicz spent five years photographing the nighttime revelries that take place in Cardiff over the weekend. Focused around a few pedestrianized streets in the city centre, Dakowicz's images capture nightlife fueled by alcohol and emotions. The arc of an evening's entertainment is captured in these candid photographs, which reveal fun and hilarity as well as fighting and drunken exhaustion. There are stag nights and hen parties, men dressed as superheroes and women dressed as Playboy bunnies, mountains of discarded chip wrappers, arrests by the police, and lots and lots of posing for photographs. Dakowicz's images, at times shocking or upsetting, form an important documentary photobook of British urban life in the early part of the 21st century.
