On Adventure with Dad Being a Father is Child’s Play

Kenny Deuss

Alone every Tuesday with his new-born daughter, Kenny Deuss fielded frequent requests from his partner, Tineke, for photos of the baby when she was away from home. His series of hilariously Photoshopped images of the baby in mock perilous situations began with teasing photographs that showed just how “safe” the baby was. Currently, people from all over the world follow Kenny’s adventures with his (now 2) daughters Alix and Aster through his Instagram account “On Adventure with Dad.” In this book he bundles his best photos, supplemented with a large number of neverbefore-seen images. He also includes ‘tips’ for dads and dads-to-be with a large dose of his typical dry humor.

Antwerpbased dad and digital creator Kenny Deuss gathers 70 of the funniest images from his immensely popular Instagram account, “On Adventure with Dad.”

Absolut Cuba

Raúl Cañibano, Leonardo Padura Fuentes

This beautiful book presents a selection of Cuban photographer Raúl Cañibano’s photographic oeuvre from nearly three decades. In these affectionate and astute photographs, he captures the heart and soul of Cuba. He seeks out Cubans as they are, in everyday situations, in their homes, on the streets, in the fields, and in the cities. In these images, the artist captures the eternal human drama: faith, old age, death, games, tenderness, love, anxiety, and a desire for beauty. His subjects appear as themselves in all their complexity, granting us a look into their inner lives.

Circus Noir Oliver Stegmann

Freedom, adventure, romance; a spellbound audience, bright-eyed children, rolling drums, a brass band playing lively music; intrepid acrobats in colorful costumes and garishly made-up clowns. The same old stereotypes about the world of the circus are trotted out on many occasions. Over a period spanning more than 15 years, the photographer Oliver Stegmann visited different circuses to take photos of what happens behind the curtains. His muted images attempt to break the usual stereotypes. Again and again, the photographer captured protagonists in moments of unawareness, showing scenes that the audience would normally never get to see from the edge of the ring. Circus Noir focuses on the true essence of what it means to work in a circus.

Fachwerkhäuser von Thomas Kellner

Thomas Kellner, Andrea Gnam

With his pictures of the half-timbered houses of the Siegen industrial area, Thomas Kellner has reminded us of the beauty of the everyday that surrounds us, and yet so often goes unnoticed. The pictures of the houses presented here inspire with their color refraction and artistically blurred backgrounds. These houses, which have become commonplace in the region, reveal themselves here as real works of art with their detailed slate-façades and well-kept exteriors.
