The first ever book on Ellison's lifelong photography practice, from New York scenes to domestic vignettesRalph Ellison is a leading figure in American literature, hailed for his seminal novel Invisible Man (1952), a breakthrough representation of the American experience and Black everyday life. Lesser known, however, is his lifelong engagement with photography. Photographer is the first book dedicated to Ellison's extensive work in the medium, which spans the 1930s to the '90s.Throughout his life, photography played multiple roles for Ellison: a hobby, a source of income, a notetaking tool and an artistic outlet. During his formative years in New York City in the 1940s, he keenly photographed his surroundings--at times alongside fellow photographer Gordon Parks--with many images serving as field notes for his writing. In the last decades of his life, as he grappled with his much-anticipated second novel, Ellison turned inward, and he studied his private universe at home with a Polaroid camera. At all times his photography reveals an artist steeped in modernist thinking who embraced experimentation to interpret the world around him, particularly Black life in America. In a 1956 letter to fellow writer Albert Murray, Ellison underscored photography's importance to his creative process: "You know me, I have to have something between me and reality when I'm dealing with it most intensely." Accompanying the photographs in this book are several essays situating Ellison's work within his broader career as a writer, as well an excerpt from his 1977 essay "The Little Man at Chehaw Station: The American Artist and His Audience."Ralph Ellison was born in Oklahoma City in 1913. His love of music led him to enroll at Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute in Macon County, Alabama, as a music major. In 1936 he visited New York City, where he befriended established authors and intellectuals who encouraged him to pursue a career in writing. He joined the Federal Writers' Project and began contributing essays and short stories for publications such as New Masses, The Negro Quarterly, New Republic and Saturday Review. By 1945 he had signed a contract to write what was to become Invisible Man (1952); it won the National Book Award in 1953 but remained his only novel published during his lifetime. He published two subsequent collections of essays, Shadow and Act (1964) and Going to the Territory (1986). For many years Ellison worked on a second novel, which he never completed; its central narrative was published posthumously as Three Days Before the Shooting... (2010). Ellison died in 1994.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) was an American essayist, poet, and popular philosopher who began his career as a Unitarian minister in Boston but rose to international prominence as a lecturer and author of essays such as ""Self-Reliance,"" ""History,"" ""The Over-Soul,"" and ""Fate.""

Boken Ralph Nykvist: Helsingborg, Sverige, världen. Fotografier 1963-1993 är den första större presentationen av en av landets mest egensinniga fotografer. Ralph Nykvist har från mitten av 1960-talet och framåt fotograferat människor på gator i städer där han bott eller besökt. Det finns en ovanlig humor och värme i Ralph Nykvist bilder. Att hans blick för vardagens absurda sidor förenas med en enastående förmåga att komponera i fotograferingsögonblicket skänker dessutom bilderna en särskild dynamik. Många känner Ralph Nykvist bilder från böckerna I Sverige (1976) och Karnevalen i Venedig, som han gjorde tillsammans med Anders Petersens 1991, men också från åtskilliga reportage från München, Moskva och Irland andra platser publicerade i tidskriften ETC på 1980-talet. Av bokens drygt 110 bilder har ett stort antal aldrig tidigare visats. Den innehåller också en essä skriven av Niclas Östlind som sätter in Ralph Nykvist arbete i ett vidare fotohistoriskt sammanhang, och lyfter samtidigt fram den stora betydelse Helsingborg hade för svensk fotografi under 1970- och 80-talet. Här fanns bland annat redaktionen för tidskriften Aktuell Fotografi och Fyra Förläggare, som gav ut bokserien Aktuell Fotolitteratur ett sammanhang där Ralph Nykvist hade en given plats.
