Soho in the 1960s was a maze of smoky pubs, neon signs and unforgettable characters. Few captured it with more grit or affection than Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard. Their words and images pull you into the heartbeat of a neighborhood that never stood still.

Soho Night & Day is both love letter and time capsule, alive with Bernard’s candid street photography and Norman’s razor-sharp storytelling. With a new introduction by Barry Miles, it’s a rare glimpse into the golden age of London’s most mythic district.

Dean Chalkley & Back in Ibiza for Soho Radio! Repost from :

It was lovely to have Dean Chalkley in as my guest this week. We were chatting about his book “BACK IN IBIZA’ at the recent Red Rooster Festival where he Djed before Rocky and I. He is always around, always doing new and differing projects and is one of the nicest and most energetic people I know.

In recent years having known and interviewed a few photographers the questions of what makes them great, gets them into the situations that they get in and allows them to get the shots they do ? Have been thoughts that often pop in to my head. We can all take photos now but can we get those magical shots ? Dean does this brilliantly, he has the personality to get people to open up and the curiosity to get in to places, scenes and peoples heads to allow him to take such shots.

This is how he, as a dyed in the mohair suited mod, was able to get out to Ibiza, get in to the thick of it, and make a book such as the one he has. If you’ve never been - has anyone not now ?_ it’s actually quite hard not to get involved but to get involved and take such photo’s thats trickier ! The book is a blast of colour, craziness, mad people, late nights, roll overs in to the following day and the hedonism which has never stopped on that Island. It’s a great document of that time. It was around the time he did this book that I banned myself from going to Ibiza - I have no photo’s from that period !

We also talked about shooting debut album cover and the scene in Southend that spawned and which Dean stumbled in to when he was at the NME

Few bands have shape-shifted through decades quite like The Cure. From smudged eyeliner to stadium lights, Paul Cox was there to capture it all. His images don’t just document the band—they mirror the evolution of sound, style and spirit that made them icons.

With over 200 color and 75 black-and-white photographs, The Cure: Stills is a visual archive built from trust, timing and total creative freedom. Featuring captions by Robert Smith and Cox himself, this book is a striking look at one of music’s most enduring enigmas.

In Hidden Portraits, Volker Hermes takes the grandeur of historical portraiture and turns it inside out, reimagining aristocratic sitters with their own status symbols as elaborate masks. The result is part satire, part spectacle, and entirely mesmerizing.

This official collection captures Hermes’s sharp visual commentary with wit and precision, offering a fresh perspective on how we read images, privilege and identity. Both playful and pointed, the book is a rich visual archive from one of today’s most intriguing digital artists.

“99 years ago today, one of the biggest and brightest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ of the 20th century was born:

M A R I L Y N M O N R O E

As the world celebrates MM’s birthday, there seems no better time to announce our upcoming book DEAR MARILYN, a memoir by photographer and filmmaker SAM SHAW, who was a long-time confidant that knew Marilyn not as an icon, but as a cherished friend and artist in her own right.

In DEAR MARILYN we present Sam’s behind-the-scenes story of a remarkable young woman, told through his personal remembrances, intimate communications, and the unique point of view of his photographic lens. The book features previously unpublished letters, photos and memorabilia from Sam’s archive, which illuminate the funny and complicated soul behind the Hollywood persona.

DEAR MARILYN is the result of many years of work organizing, transcribing, digitizing, restoring, editing and assembling a trove of archival materials, some over eighty years old. And although from another era, we were surprised to discover that Marilyn’s story is perhaps more relevant today than ever before.

On the cusp of her centennial, we offer Sam’s insight and insider portrait of Marilyn. We hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

⬆️ Available now for pre-order at the link in Bio

ALSO, a very happy 80th birthday to Sam Shaw’s daughter Edie who shares the day with Marilyn and once celebrated their birthday with MM at the circus. It’s hard to beat that!
