For a photographer based in London, Jane Hilton really knows her way around a Nevada brothel. Her book, Precious, from Schilt Publishing, is the product of two and half years spent taking portraits of women in eleven brothels throughout the only state where prostitution is legal.

Paul Nelson

When advertising work slowed down a couple years ago, photographer Paul Nelson needed a new project. Out of this came Aviary, Nelson’s series that captures images of real live birds in mid-flight, creating a fantastic hybrid of his clean, bright white product photography to the completely natural subject of wild birds.

In the aptly named project “The Most Beautiful Day of My Life,” photographer Jean-Christian Bourcart combed through the remnants of outtakes collected from the studio where he had his first job as a wedding photographer.

It would be difficult to guess Sergey Chilikov’s photographs are a product of repressive, Soviet-era Russia. Sergey Chilikov: Selected Works 1978–, published by Schilt Publishing at the end of 2011 is brimming with Chilikov’s relatively unknown work covering the span of his career, from the 1970s through the late 2000s.
