Jeffrey Ladd writes for LightBox about a recently re-released edition of Luigi Ghirri's 1978 book, 'Kodachrome'.

Swissair might have been once world renowned for its high standards of service and customer relations, but one might not know that photography was a driving passion of its co-founder. LightBox explores some of the treasures in the archives of the airline.

The photographic voice of English photographer Stephen Gill always has a playfully inventive ring. The photos in his new book, 'Coexistence,' mix the scientific and conceptual while documenting a pond's microscopic communities.

LightBox presents exclusive images from the re-release of David Goldblatt's 'On the Mines,' the prolific South African photographer's documentation of the mining industry during apartheid.

The history of mankind is rife with love producing illogical and oddball behavior. Alec Soth's newest book Looking for Love, 1996 is, in its way, about the search for love guided by the heart and the search of love guided by the eye.

In photography, "the road trip," especially by car around the United States, has been a right of passage for many photographers. Embarking on a fourteen-month world tour however is a bit less common, but that ambitious challenge was taken on in 1959 by the Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken and his wife Gerda. The resulting photographs would turned into one of the most epic Dutch photobooks ever produced, The Sweet Life.
