The book, in conjunction with the exhibition, offers new approaches to cognition.

A meditative, empathic state of mind, where we are connected beyond time and words in recognition of our complex existence. Visual art."

Tiré du site Internet de Nieves: "Few people better exemplify the lack of boundaries in today's design world than Geoff McFetridge - He is a truely multi-disiplinary designer, 'an all-around visual auteur'. Understatement is central to the impact of his work, inviting participation. It gets through the filters by offering the viewer an opportunity to play with a puzzle for a moment, a puzzle that doesn't have one simple answer. Often imitated, but never equaled, Geoff's work spans storyboard sketches, freaky comic-style illustrations with idiosyncratic philosophic taglines and hand drawn typography. Appointed Art Director of Grand Royal, the seminal Beastie Boys magazine at the age of 24, his career has continued steadily onwards and upwards ever since. On leaving Grand Royal in 1996 he established his own company, Champion Graphics, and is also a founding member of 'The Directors Bureau' alongside Mike Mills, Sofia Coppola and Shynola. McFetridge is a truely multi-disiplinary designer 'an all-around visual auteur'. Recent projects are as diverse as packaging design for Gasbook 9, textiles for Marc Jacobs, sneaker design for Nike, stickers for the Dazed / Greenpeace campaign, a plethora of music videos and wallpaper design for French furniture company Ligne Roset."

In a world where everyone is a photographer now, how do you stand out? The answer can be found in this simple but profound book. It will train your eye to see what others don't. -- David Hieatt This isn't a book about how to take the best pictures.

By sharing 10 practices honed over a lifetime spent behind the lens working with clients such as Adidas, Levi Strauss, and Apple, photographer Andrew Paynter encourages you to develop a more considered approach to photography so that you craft pictures with care. Do Photo teaches novice, intermediate and advanced photographers - and everyone in between - how to use their cameras to really connect with subjects, create memorable and more impactful photographs, and to enjoy the process along the way. And guess what? It all starts before you even pick up the camera.
