The photographer Zora Sicher began taking pictures at 14 as a high school student in Brooklyn. Those early images capture the charged intimacy of adolescence: a friend leaning into the mirror to smudge on eye shadow before a night out, another drifting to sleep in the late afternoon sun. That tender and unguarded sensibility has shaped Sicher's work since. Her new monograph,

"Geography," published by Dashwood Books, gathers 14 years of images into what she calls a "nonchronological map" of her practice and the people who shaped it. The earliest photograph dates to 2011; the most recent was taken in...

Over the last four decades, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma has built a name for himself shooting global fashion campaigns, publishing a prolific number of books, and documenting life within his hometown of Tokyo. Portrait of J is the latest addition to that extensive body of work, published by New York-based Dashwood Books.

Their collaborative work born from a series of intimate letters combines eroticism, humor, and surrealism, assembling fragmented, anthropomorphic sculptures from second-hand objects.
