Sinopsis

Spy Photography explores the fascinating intersection of photography, military history, and espionage, revealing how intelligence agencies have utilized photographic technologies for surveillance and covert operations. The book highlights photography's pivotal role in shaping intelligence gathering, from early military applications to modern geopolitical strategies. For example, aerial reconnaissance significantly impacted wartime decision-making, providing crucial insights into enemy positions and movements.

The book examines the evolution of spy photography, tracing its origins to the 19th century and progressing through the development of miniature cameras and digital imaging. A central argument is that photographic intelligence has been an underestimated tool in shaping military history and international relations. By combining technical analysis with historical narrative, the book emphasizes the human element, exploring the motivations and ethical dilemmas faced by those involved in clandestine operations. It is aimed at readers interested in military history, intelligence studies, and the hidden aspects of global politics.

The book unfolds by first establishing a historical foundation and then exploring the diversification of photographic techniques. Subsequent sections analyze case studies of how spy photography influenced key historical events. Finally, it considers the contemporary challenges posed by digital imaging and facial recognition technologies, offering a comprehensive overview of the subject and fostering a nuanced discussion of security, technology, and individual rights.

Vincent Paterson, Amy Tofte

For the first time, the choreographer of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Björk, and many others reveals stage stories through his extraordinary journey. 
 
 
 
Vincent Paterson began his professional dancing career late in life. It would take an exceptional turn when he became one of the lead dancers in Michael Jackson's Beat It music video. Through hard work, he rises to the rank of choreographer and director for the world's greatest singers, but also for cinema and musical comedy. 
 
 
 
He tells with humility the fascinating universe of film sets, the rehearsal sessions where he had to orchestrate and synchronize dozens of dancers, life backstage where it is sometimes necessary to manage a few whims of the stars, his successes and his disappointments. It is a dive into the heart of the world of dance.

This book is about outsiders. Interlopers. Class migrants. Death. Awakening. Creative Process. Growth through risk-taking. It’s a book about ghosts. Music. Writing. Not writing. What’s this book not about? “Finding myself.” I know who I am.
