In early 2013, the New Heroes & Pioneers publishing house – based in Malmö, Sweden – was little more than the kernel of an idea in our minds. Our plan was to develop and publish a range of coffee table books containing a smart, interesting and eclectic mixture of art, culture and fashion. What made this concept unique, was that we were, right from the beginning, dedicated to being a vehicle for discovering and promoting new and unknown artists whose singular styles and perspectives make them stand out. The concepts of ‘making human connections’ and ‘giving back’ were woven into the fabric of the corporate culture and have become a clear and conscious part of every project since the company’s inception. We are based in Malmö with members in Netherlands, United Kingdom and France. We are a mix of partners coming from the publishing, editing, photography, journalism and business world, with a same passion for Culture and Art.

DIALOGUES B Y F R A M A & O U R F O OD S TO R I E S
Frama, the design studio, has teamed with Our Food Stories to create Dialogues, a celebration of the relationship between people, great design and the food they love. Frama and Our Food Stories have a huge passion for good design and interiors and this, combined with exciting recipes, is the combination for something very special. The book explores three distinct dialogues: how natural and built environments impact on our daily lives; through tasty recipes, the food traditions and culinary rituals that inherently connect us with our lifestyles and past, present and future; and the power of the creative, their voice and how we respond to design. Though a series of case studies, interviews, 19 delicious recipes and curated images, the dialogues of Frama and Our Food Stories take the reader on a journey of concept and design that epitomises the design studio and what they admire and evoke in their creative world.

Pastel Moods B Y M A R I O L Y VA Z Q U E Z
Marioly Vazquez’s photography proves that urban structures and daily routine can take on a dreamy, quixotic sentiment with the right contrasts. No matter where in the world she is, she can always find the same welcoming beauty in each town, city or country, in the form of colourful blossoms, buildings and details. Drawing upon colour psychology, Maria’s book Pastel Moods examines how each particular colour tone inspires certain states of mind, and how these reflect how we go about our life. What draws us to the cafes we visit, the buildings we live in? How does colour translate our personality via fashion pieces? How does natures’ own colour palette affect our mood? Focusing on the colours most predominant in her work, each chapter explores a different colour tone, how it is used to speak to our psyche and what it evokes in us. Bathed in pastel hues, this book captures the deeper meaning behind how the colours we are surrounded by impact our mood.

“I’m an architect and definitely my architectural expertise has an influence on the space-object analysis. The perception of the space, the perspectives and the layers of it become a journey for me while creating my compositions. The geometries of the space itself play a key role, becoming as much a character in the visual narrative as the models themselves. Either an open white space can be contained boundless potential for movement and form, or an emerging domestic space expands and limits the model’s possibilities, directing and regulating their actions even as it helps to define their roles. My love for urbanism and architecture is evident in my organised quirkiness and my, sometimes sarcastic, game of the human form.”

Share lagom C U R AT E D B Y M A R I E L U I S E WAC K E R , OD A L I L L , M AT T PO RT E R A N D F R A N C O I S L E B L E D
Lagom is a uniquely Swedish term that doesn’t have an English equivalent (Which I find to be pretty common, the Swedish language has denser words that the English language usually uses two or three words to describe.) Not only does it not translate perfectly but its just a very Swedish idea, or feeling. A popular etymological translation is “around the team” meaning enough food or drink for everyone at the table, this translation is said to go back to Viking times. Lagom is “Just enough,” “Not too much or too little,” “Just right,” “Enough to go around,” “Fair share.” It indicates balance. Lagom doesn’t have the negative connotation of “sufficient” nor does it claim perfection. SHARE LAGOM contains 50 inspired artworks carefully selected amongst the best up-and-coming first time published artists. Following the success of SHARE Vol. 1 & 2 this third installment combines the winning concept of high quality prints on perforated pages with the trendy theme of Lagom. Each featured artist presents a single piece of work along with companion text in a two page format. The specially designed LAGOM size book is optimized for its intended purpose: every page’s perforation encourages readers to pull them as individual works of art.

Like his first edition of 2016, New Heroes & Pioneers HANDBOOK TO EXTRAORDINARY CULTURE 2017 is a guide in a true sense, but unlike other guides, it isn’t only advice on how to get dressed, where to go, what to eat or the best way to find a cheap ticket. Instead, it goes far beyond typical recommendations to inspire you to broaden your cultural horizons. We want you to be curious, attentive and reflective. We hope you will see street art differently or enjoy a festival in a way you have never thought about. That when you go out, you think about why a particular café feels like a good place to while away the hours or, that when you become brave enough to change your POV on a shocking art exhibit, your life will be enriched.

Photography for me is giving in to an impulse to capture or explore things going on around me that for whatever reason might suddenly take my interest. I’m obsessed with the way the camera is able to warp both time and perspective to capture the world in ways I was never able to see with my eyes. Though my work is varied in subject matter, it all somewhat follows this compulsion. I have found by simply observing and capturing the mundane around me from a new perspective or in a new light, it can elevate places or events to a level that people can instantly connect with in a new way. Whether it is amateur paddle boarders shot from 1,000 ft. in the air or homes and landscapes shot in different conditions, my work seeks to force a double take on what has been overlooked and under-appreciated. The most joy I get from photography is when I can capture something that was hiding in plain sight but no one has stopped to capture. Finding patterns, shapes and vistas in the man made and natural environments and collecting them like little prizes is what keeps me shooting and exploring. I’m an impatient person, so photography is an incredibly efficient way to be creative. Every time I press the shutter I can create something that didn’t exist a split second before. 12

New Heroes & Pioneers HANDBOOK TO EXTRAORDINARY CULTURE is an assemblage of re-edited and original content created throughout 2016. We have been busy re-purposing much of our material for use in this guide, so even if you have already seen it in our online magazine, quarterly publications or anywhere else, look again, because you will have a chance to see it one more time, all scrubbed up and with a fresh face on. We also have volumes of material that, for editorial reasons, ended up on the cutting room floor. The decision to not use material is always difficult, and in spite of the fact that it wasn’t chosen the first time around, much of this left out material is first rate and print-worthy. To that end, we are adding the best of these ‘cut articles’ to New Heroes & Pioneers HANDBOOK TO EXTRAORDINARY CULTURE along with a good portion of specially developed, original material. We know you will be as glad as we are that all of this, old and new, is being published together between two covers.

Seven Deadly Cultural Sins is an exciting and edgy collection of seven related photographic booklets showcasing seven photographer’s visions of a traditional sin of their choice, each connected firmly to culture. To be able to enjoy culture in the form of art, music and literature is a luxury for many, and for some, it is maybe even a sin. This series pushes the boundaries of sin and temptation even further by inviting photographers to show us their ideas about cultural indulgence, a lack of access to culture, and the inextricable roles of culture in sin and sin in culture. Think about the ‘gluttony’ of someone visiting all of the world’s major art museums just to say it has been done, but having no meaningful memories of the exhibits, or the ‘greed’ of an individual who owns a splendid pipe organ but refuses to let anyone else ever hear it played. Seven Deadly Cultural Sins flies in the face of the ordinary and predictable, to bring you art you will think about, talk about, argue about and perhaps even disagree with. No matter what you feel when you look through this book, one thing is certain: you will find yourself reconsidering your usual view of the luxury of culture. So… go ahead. Pick your sin. Oh, did we mention that the hard cover limited edition is a sin just by itself?

Swimming Pool B Y M A R I A S VA RB OVA
Swimming Pool is Maria’s largest and continuing series. Sparked by a hunt for interesting location in Slovakia, her fascination with the space of public swimming pools contributed to developing her visual style. Sterile, geometric beauty of old pools, usually built in the Socialist Era, set the tone for these photographs. There is almost a theatrical quality to the highly controlled sceneries that Maria captures. The figures are mid-movement, but there is no joyful playfulness to them. Frozen in the composition, the swimmers are as smooth and cold as the pools tiles. The colours softly vibrate in a dream-like atmosphere. Despite the retro setting, the pictures somehow evoke a futuristic feeling as well, as if they were taken somewhere completely alien. Despite studying restoration and archeology, Maria Svarbova found a medium for her artistic expression in photography. Since 2010, she has focused on developing her own photographic language, quickly gaining international recognition. Amongst awards, solo and group exhibitions, her work has been featured in Vogue, Guardian, Instagram, Forbes and many other publications.

Söderberg & Sara don’t know much, but they know how to leave you feeling pleasantly stuffed and delightfully charmed by their restaurants’ Swedish urban & countryside settings. Feast your eyes on the pages of this book, and the next trip you’ll make will be to your very own kitchen: It’s pizza time, baby! The DIY PIZZA PLACE is the first in a series of “How to” booklets lovingly prepared and served by Söderberg & Sara. Each individual booklet of the S&S cooking notes is narrated by a different person, from the owner to a supplier to a customer ... and more (obviously the one most related to each topic), in order to manifest their personal humour, attitude and vision. The aim is to excite readers about Söderberg & Sara’s work philosophy, their carefully crafted restaurant and the many palatable delights (such as homemade pizza from the wood oven) they offer, as well as to motivate them to try themselves at some of the recipes, and approaches to fresh cooking that have originated between these walls, at home.

This book explores and details those pathways, the people, the landscapes and the fascinating things we discovered along the way. The journeys we take have a start and an end point, but we, in this book, want to relish the bit in between. So whether this is a mountain pass in the Italian Alps where we meet highland shepherds, or sprawling, urban grids with a bevy of restaurants and contemporary design, we want to inspire the reader to follow these paths and take precious moments to engage in everything possible through their senses. The book is a guide to these pathways, but goes beyond this to capture and document the lives of the people we meet, the challenges of the trip and the culture and landscapes we find that inspire us to keep on adventuring. Lodestars Anthology is an independent magazine-meets-journal for curious travellers who long to be inspired, see the world and meet interesting characters along the road. Focusing on one country per issue, it is a scrapbook of place, getting to the heart of a location and uncovering its quirks, charm and splendour.

STYLING BY ANNA BJÖRKMAN AND P H O TO S B Y A N N A M A L M B E RG Through a series of starkly contrasting images, interior stylist Anna Björkman and photographer Anna Malmberg have created a melancholic world that celebrates the feeling certain spaces tend to evoke within us. Feelings of Imperfection examines the duality between two worlds: the old and the new, the perfect and imperfect, the present and the past. By applying subtle decorative touches to abandoned buildings, Björkman inspired a new dialogue surrounding their respective histories, the timelessness of which Malmberg captured with intimate photographs that encourage viewers to read between the lines. Malmberg and Björkman hope to elicit an emotional response that will allow you to connect to these Feelings of Imperfection in a personal manner that will further stimulate a conversation between the past and the present. Every wall has its own history, every window a different view – in this book the artists invite you along on their journey to uncover these well-kept secrets and shine a new light on them.

Despite the currency of the matter, on a one-to-one level, veganism is still hard to talk about, as it ties in with behavioural patterns founded in identity and tradition, therefore making it a highly emotional subject, as well as a matter of philosophical / existential scope.

All too often we have connotations of art books being strictly for consumption at the coffee table. The SHARE concept enthusiastically abolishes this with a book that is meant to be held and deconstructed. Each featured artist presents a single piece of work along with a short description or text. The size is optimised and every page is perforated so that you can use the pages as individual works of art.

B Y B R I A N F O U H Y – T E M PO R A R I L Y O U T OF S TOC K Brian Fouhy is a visual poet of the modern variety. Working in the medium of Instagram, this American captures words and phrases that are tattooed across the pavement and handwritten on the walls. He then puts them together to create short stories. The result is a visual compilation whose sum is quite different from the individual pieces. Over 30 stories are contained in this edition. In it, you’ll find humour and irony, often found mingling together. What unifies these contrasting images is their humanity, coupled often with a sense of loneliness. Brian’s work demonstrates the similarities between the capturing of a moment through the lens of a camera and through the spilling of ink upon the pavement. Both are feelings stamped in a single moment in time. The images themselves often feature forgotten corners in the urban landscape void of life. Truly a contemporary artist, Brian uses the breadth of modern technology to create a style completely his own. And you, have you ever told a story with pictures? Is there a photo-poet that stirs inside of you?

The French Kiss Series A N A RT I S T I C PO I N T OF V I E W AB O U T T H E F R E N C H K I S S PHENOMENON C O L L AB O R AT I V E WO R K
The French Kiss Series explores a phenomenon that has been known world-wide for a hundred years. It came about because of the French people’s much enjoyed reputation for being adventurous and passionate about sex. The actual kiss is most often described as being slow and sensual, embodying the essence of intimacy, eroticism, sexuality and romanticism. Without setting any guidelines or restrictions, we asked five different photographers to interpret the French kiss in their own unique way and The French Kiss Series is the result. The books demonstrate that people’s perception of the French kiss does not always correspond with reality. For instance, it doesn’t have to take place between two teenagers below the Eiffel Tower with birds singing and music swelling in the background. The French kiss can also be funky, filthy, dramatic or exquisitely ordinary. The French Kiss Series incorporates various styles and techniques very much like the French kiss itself – sometimes it is wild and sensual and at other times – sweet and innocent. While some images will attract readers with amorous, dusky, black and white depictions of the entwined, others burst through devoted embraces in a torrent of colour.

Who is Anna Andersson PO RT R A I T S OF S W E D E N ’ S M O S T POPU L A R N A M E
B Y M E R E DI T H A N D R E W S Thousands of Swedish women share the country’s most popular name – Anna Andersson. Besides their name and nationality, do they have anything else in common? In 2014, photographer Meredith Andrews travelled the length of Sweden to find out. From a tattoo artist to a priest, a child to a 99-year old, Meredith found astonishing diversity within this statistically significant group of women who all answer to the same name. Who is Anna Andersson? is a visual account of 50 women who, at least superficially, share the same identity. This collection of intimate portraits reveals what unites and distinguishes people with a common name. The photographs combine personal stories with a captivating glimpse of life in contemporary Sweden and offer a new perspective on a national character. Whether you’re interested in foreign cultures, naming conventions or simply love peering into the lives of complete strangers, this book will fascinate you, no matter how many times you flip through the pages.

Mindful Encounters is a thought-provoking collection of travel photography that gives you an extraordinary view of ordinary lives. Instead of relying on sophisticated equipment, photographer Jens Lennartsson uses curiosity, empathy and trust to make meaningful connections and take you off the beaten path with him. The stories he captures are exotic and instantly familiar at the same time. His photography reveals one simple truth: No matter where you are in the world, people are far more alike than we realize. Jens’ obsessive eye for detail, from a stray dog by the roadside to words written on a t-shirt, adds remarkable depth and significance to each individual story he tells.

5 HIDE IN PL AIN SIGHT You’re bound to be noticed as soon as you arrive in a new place. But the longer you stay in the same location, the less attention you’ll attract. You become a part of the scene; part of the environment. Everyone will be less aware of you and the fact that you are taking pictures.
A month-long trip around Sri Lanka was coming to an end. I stayed at the gigantic colonial Galle Face Hotel in Colombo. A very narrow strip of beach, no more than ten feet wide, stretched for miles alongside the stone wall. During the day it was empty, but when the sun was about to set, thousands of Sri Lankans gathered to play Don’t rush away from a good photo spot. Hang in the waves. I was amazed by the light and the around for a while until you become a fly on the scene and came back evening after evening. wall and it will be easier to capture the scenes I walked around among the families, couples and in front of you.

8 BACKGROUND CHECK There are generally three main layers in every photograph: the foreground, the subject and the background. The latter could make your picture pop or flop. Before you press the shutter, take a moment to think about what the background look like. The camera transforms three-dimensional reality into a two-dimensional picture and if the background is not thought through, it can ruin a great shot. Pay attention to what’s behind your subject.
HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT
I saw it from far away. The old, two-colored American car and the wall behind with the exact same colors, only inverted. It was so perfect I almost thought the driver had been aware of it and parked his car right there, just waiting for an attentive photographer to walk by. Sometimes the world’s colors come together in amazing ways. Pay attention to color schemes and you’ll be able to get great pictures.

In early 2013, New Heroes & Pioneers publishing house – based in Malmö, Sweden – was little more than the kernel of an idea in our minds. Our plan was to develop and publish a range of coffee table books containing a smart, interesting and eclectic mixture of art, culture and fashion. What made this concept unique was that we were, right from the beginning, dedicated to being a vehicle for discovering and promoting new and unknown artists whose singular styles and perspectives make them stand out. The concepts of ‘making human connections’ and ‘giving back’ were woven into the fabric of the corporate culture and have become a clear and conscious part of every project since the company’s inception.
