New Heroes & Pioneers constantly strives to curate and create the best in extraordinary culture. We publish a variety of art and coffee table books with a focus on photography, lifestyle and design. NHP has had, and continues to have, the pleasure of working with some very inspirational and extremely talented people from our native Scandinavia and from around the globe. What made the concept of our publishing house unique was that, right from the start, NHP provided a platform and vehicle for discovering and promoting new and unknown artists. This is a key factor to our company’s ethos, and something that is evidenced by showcasing the work of new and rising talent from across the world. So whether this is delving into the culinary lifestyles and cultural heritages of Europe; compiling photography guides of our favourite cities; or examining design trends in North America – we have it covered. Based in Malmö, Sweden, we are a collaboration of enthusiastic people from the world of publishing, editing, photography, graphic design and creative direction. We all share a universal passion for producing books that are consistently rich in content and full of smart and interesting ideas.

reverie B Y L AU R E N T CA S T E L L A N I

Between shadow and light, the grain of the skin, the slightest shiver is exacerbated. Laurent Castellani plays the close-up shot as an expression of its relationship to spacean. The macro-portrait is the art of exploring the beauty close at hand and creating intimacy, the image creation pushing us to whisper. This book, divided into emotional chapters, opens the doors to a singular vision of the portrait and the staging of each of these women whose secret Laurent Castellani has. They have been scrupulously chosen for their singularity, plunging us at the same time into the macro-portrait and cinematographic universe that he is particularly fond of, notably Lynch’s dreamlike universe. Laurent oscillates at the border of reality and imagination in his photos as in his films. Each shot is an emotion. Beauty emerges, natural and wild. Minimalist in the soul and in his approach, Laurent Castellani seeks above all the essential: a vibration.

THROUGH OBJECTS Nature Back to Design vol. 01 C U R AT E D B Y R I TA T R I N D A D E

“Through Objects dedicates most of its content exploring the notion of design as a narrative, and like narratives, objects offer different interpretations to users, according to their own references. By supporting various forms of interpretation, more personal and relevant ways of thinking about these objects arise. To enhance a growing creative involvement, Through Objects has been sharing an inspiring collection of stories and interviews from several designers around the world.” – Rita Trindade, founder of Through Objects. This first volume of Through Objects showcases a selection of 24 design objects ranging from furniture and lighting to textiles and home accessories. Each of the stories reveals captivating items from pioneering designers and creators, such as Nienke Hoogvliet, Kaja Solgaard Dahl, Studio David Pompa and GT2P. By highlighting the potential and beauty of natural materials, this book proposes a look at the future of design from a respectful and harmonious human/ nature perspective.

No. Superhero B Y O L E M A R I U S J O E RG E N S E N

No superhero is a series of work by the acclaimed Scandinavian artist, Ole Marius Jorgensen. The work features meticulously staged, cinematic photographs that depict seemingly ordinary situations which are then infused with a juxtaposed narrative. This unlocks an unexpected and unique world that feels both old and new. Full of mystique and intrigue and set in the artist’s native, rural Scandinavia, this series of images follows the protagonist on a silent, solitary journey that emphasises complex emotions. From the playful, to the dark, to the eccentric, each scene is depicted through a lens that captures childhood nostalgia with the hero as an ordinary man.

Quietudes B Y D A N I E L Z AC H R I S S O N

”There are many dualities at play in photography. In my practice, I reflect over the tension between observing and engaging, to be distant and close, to contemplate and communicate – and my camera functions as a tool to explore those borders, and to search for a place in between.” Scandinavian photographer and designer, Daniel Zachrisson, composes images that create a sense of tension with one another whilst encompassing a variety of subject matter. This book features a series of photographs that are unconventionally connected through their disparate themes. With a carefully curated colour palette, this collection takes us from isolated landscapes to charismatic urban scenes. Along the way, there are a series of people who are caught in deeply personal or busier moments, yet, in either setting, there is a feeling of uncertainty around the situations and in what state the characters appear.

Herbarium Vitae - Roses and Peonies B Y P H O E B E AT K E Y

Herbarium Vitae is a collection of illustrations by artist, Phoebe Atkey. As part of NHP’s Collective Shorts series, this book sees Atkey produce a series of work in the style of traditional Victorian herbarium or animalium depictions, but re-imagined with a modern twist. The collection takes us through a set of exquisite floral images of Roses and Peonies. Atkey’s style is detailed and precise. However, when set against a minimal book design, this provides an alternative and fun way to showcase Atkey’s fantastic artistic abilities. In this book, alongside the whimsical and beautiful floral illustrations, Atkey also interjects the contents with fuller illustrations of the plants in situ and also scenes that draw on the key theme of this book. Laden with subtle and peaceful colour tones, each image touches on the beauty of Atkey’s floral subjects. “Herbarium Vitae” is part of an exciting new book series that NHP Publishing and Phoebe Atkey are developing together – Herbarium & Animalium. Through precise illustrations, this series will encompass the world of plants, trees, and animals and will move onto minerals and other elements.

Whatever the season, it is always a good idea to sit back and relax with a cocktail. In our latest Collective Shorts series, graphic designer Nick Barclay has created a stunning anthology of cocktails. This book combines classic recipes with new drink ideas into clear and defined sections. After working on a bar industry magazine and being introduced to the world of cocktails, Nick realised that people love drinking cocktails but not many people know what goes into making them. The design for each cocktail breaks down the ingredients and measures and proportions these out. In this book we see a Nick’s signature style – clean, bold, yet minimal graphical design to showcase the drinks in an alternative and quirky way. The aesthetic for this book is well-designed and the book is the perfect accompaniment for any recipe book collection, art book collection or to have fun with your friends in making some new cocktails.

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.

Momentum A V I S UA L S TO RY T E L L I N G OF A S P L I T S E C O N D CA P T U R E D

BY AARON TILLEY In our latest Collective Shorts series, photographer Aaron Tilley explores the notion of narratives and storytelling through carefully constructed and captured still images. Executed in a manner that is playful, yet driven with tension, Tilley’s photography exacts an anticipation of the moment that is about to happen. Momentum is a collection of some of Tilley’s best work to date. His photography continuously captivates the viewer, leading us to something perhaps unexpected, out of context or that may cause us some unease but in a fun and highly-dramatic way. The aesthetic is bold and well-designed with each image portraying a story at a paused point in time allowing the narrative of the image to be interpreted by the viewer. With this, the viewer should enjoy the surreal element to the work and embrace this style presented throughout the book.

The Odd and the Ordinary BY SWEN SWENSØN

“The Ordinary and The Odd” is the first book from artist and graphic designer, Swen Swensøn. Swensøn’s use of simple and minimilst illustrations, evoking playful and sometimes odd encounters is a pleasure for any viewer of his work. His style is instantly recognisable and each image conjures the imagination to create stories that can be both quirky and also calming. In this book we see Swensøn encapsulate a variety of themes including: urban landscape, nature, transport and engineering and human life. Through subtle and peaceful tones, each image touches on a quiet moment that is perhaps contrasted with a surprising twist or sense of anticipation. Graphic illustration is ever more present in our visual world and media. Characters and scenes depicted are relatable to a wide audience and Swensøn’s work is relates to our lives through recognisable content in his art, requiring us to stay still, consider the scene and reflect.

E DI T E D B Y L I Z S C H A F F E R Lodestars Anthology: Pathways contains some of the best and most carefully selected paths and trails that we have traversed. 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
