Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki is famous for his striking black-and-white photos of naked women (often artfully tied up with rope). But his latest book, Blue Period, Last Summer, highlights his lesser-known performance work — featuring color-drenched photos of erotica as well as garbage-strewn Tokyo city streets and dreamy skylines...

That moment has turned into seven years since Hawkesworth’s photos of a Brutalist bus station in Preston, England – where he was living at the time – were published in a pamphlet named Preston is my Paris. Made with an ex-uni tutor named Adam Murray, the pair spent a weekend in 2010 taking portraits of teenagers who caught their eye. “It was a centre for Megabus so if a bus comes from up North, it goes through Preston to go South, so there was always an influx of really interesting people coming through the station,” explains the photographer. “When I found...

"In the hot and crowded summer city, there’s nothing better than finding a cool and quiet bookstore to get lost in. The winding aisles of novels, art tomes and magazines—especially when placed in one of the city’s most beautifully designed shops—can undoubtedly provide both relaxation and inspiration.

Photography books for children are rare, so I was especially excited to discover "Everywhere, Always," a new book by the husband-and-wife duo Jason Schmidt (a T contributor) and Cory Jacobs. In the spirit of "Where’s Waldo?" the book follows the couple’s tiny, orange-clad son, Jules, to big Brooklyn landmarks. The accompanying poetic text by Alex Vlack subtly prompts the reader not only to seek out Jules but also to admire with fresh eyes everything from the cherry blossoms in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the horses in Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
