Classic pairings in the design world
Some of the greatest examples of art and design are the result of collaborations. Whether you are talking designers - what goes together like Charles + Ray Eames? - or photography - Man Ray + Lee Miller? - or fashion - Dolce and Gabbana? - sometimes two is better than one.
25th April 2012
The result? We are running a special promotion on our website pairing two great books which complement each other for less than the price of one.
We have three special offers for you - one for designers focusing on ethics, one for aspiring professional photographers and one for fashion students.
The offer finishes on Friday 27th May so please pass the details of this offer on. The prices are Amazon-beating so do order while you can! -

AVA author launches solo show
Photography by Natasha Caruana, who has just co-authored Behind the Image: Research in Photography, is currently being exhibited at the Photofusion Gallery in London. The show will run until 23rd March 2012 and includes her latest work, 'Fairytale for Sale', revolving around advertisements for the sale of unwanted wedding dresses. Natasha’s work combines a wry sense of humour with a complex cultural commentary on the world of love, dating and relationships. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has been shortlisted for the National Magazine Awards and The Deutsche Bank Pyramid Prize. In 2010 Caruana was named as the one to watch in the Royal Photographic Society Journal and the British Journal of Photography, and in 2011 she was selected by the Humble Arts Foundation as one of 18 leading female art photographers working in the UK. Natasha Caruana graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2008 and is currently a lecturer of Photography at the University for Creative Arts, Farnham.
