<b>A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.</b><br/><br/>The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens.<br/><br/>Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.<br/><br/>Fiona Rogers and Max Houghton offer insightful and expert authorship and curation. In their respective, well-established roles in the industry they understand, influence and advocate for contemporary documentary photography today.

<p><b>'All bands have a different style. I never thought Oasis had a look. Other people did and that's cool. But I'll put tunes over trainers every day. Trainers last for six months. The melodies live forever.' Noel Gallagher</b><br/><b><br/>'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley</b><br/><br/><b>"Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, <i>Observer</i></b><br/><br/><b>'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage</b><br/><br/>***<br/><br/>How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In <i>Oasis: The Masterplan </i>we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity.<br/><br/>Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, <i>Definitely Maybe </i>was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.</p>
