Copyright Toolbox Underlying the process of publishing a journal article is a publishing agreement. A publishing agreement is an important step in achieving a balance of rights in the process of scholarly communication. It determines the rights which are important to the stakeholders involved in this process. It is in the interest of the author to understand the implications of the agreement, and this toolbox has been compiled to enable the author and the publisher to provide a publishing agreement and to identify the issues that should be considered when a scholarly work is submitted to a journal. The toolbox has three entries. The last entry refers to initiatives from other organisations or academic institutes have undertaken to maximise access to scholarly publications. Both licence and sample wording are based on The set of key needs for authors and publishers when publishing a journal article.

Erwin Olaf – Série « Royal blood » On retrouve dans son travail des clichés de la mode parfois mis au service de l’érotisme, de l’humour ou du « bizarre » à la Freaks tout cela dans des séries mixant des photos « classiques » comme dans sa série « Paradise portraits » : Erwin Olaf – Série « Paradise portraits » Il a travaillé, bien sur, dans la mode mais également dans d’autres domaines, high-tech, industrie… Il a par exemple fait une campagne et le calendrier « Lavazza », moins connu que le calendrier Pirelli mais d’au moins aussi bonne qualité.

Copyright hub - your gateway to information about copyright in the UK A Photographer's Life: An Exhibition of photographs by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, including pictures of her life with her family and Susan Sontag and Vanity Fair magazine photos she is famous for Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990-2005 San Francisco Fine Arts Museum Legion of Honor March 1 – May 25, 2008 Mikhail Baryshinikov & Rob Beserer, Cumberland Island, Georgia 1990. My Brother Philip and My Father, Silver Spring, Maryland, 1988. The exhibition of Annie Leibovitz’s photographs that is still on view at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco through May 25, 2008, is an odd intermingling of personal photographs and the celebrity photos she is known for, produced for glossy magazines such as Vanity Fair and Vogue . The inclusion of these celebrity photographs certainly draws in an audience otherwise perhaps disinclined to explore the personal life of this relatively lesser celebrity herself. The exhibit is so clever in its unfolding that even though you instinctively feel like there is reason behind the choice and order of the photos, you are not immediately privy to it.

Annie Leibovitz: lessons in life and love She pauses, and draws out the next word: "Oh, I get it. When I did this volume, I felt I had sort of got there in some way. This is what I always thought I wanted to do." She started to put it together after Sontag's death in 2004, when she began to sort out photographs for a memorial booklet. Sontag's son, David Rieff, was appalled by Leibovitz's decision to display these searing photographs of his mother. "It is a love story," Leibovitz agrees. Her voice fades away and she looks down as she speaks. Her mother died a year ago, and Leibovitz has arrived in London after a gathering at the unveiling of the headstone on her parents' grave. As with her father, she took photographs.Did her siblings not mind? Ironically for someone so defined by her profession, Leibovitz set out to be an art teacher. She fell into taking pictures for Rolling Stone magazine and gradually, over a 35-year career, has become probably the most famous celebrity portraitist in the world.

Ten questions for writer and curator Elias Redstone Since the invention of photography, architecture has proved a worthy subject for photographers, and, in turn, photography has played an important role in how architecture is communicated. Our new book Shooting Space is not a book of architectural photography but a book of photography that studies the artistic response to architecture through the eyes of 50 of the best photographers working today. Its author, the renowned curator and writer Elias Redstone sat down with us on the eve of his Constructing Worlds show at the Barbican, London to tell us more about it. Shooting Space is a collection of artistic responses to architectural photography. Did you discern a way in which their responses had perhaps been shaped? Architecture of Density #39 2005 Hong Kong, China - Michael Woolf from Shooting Space As well as a formalism and rigor to all the work there is a shared beauty too, isn’t there? Can you remember your own first artistic response to a building? S.C.

Beauty and the grotesque The creative partnership of artist Jesse Draxler and photographer Jen Whitaker would have been a match made in heaven – that is, if heaven was a darker place. Draxler, a Minneapolis-based artist who has worked in the medium of collage (including 3D) for over five years, has been busy building an impressive portfolio of weirdly sexual and visually challenging images of deconstructed beauty. Whereas LA-based Whitaker is a photographer and visual designer drawn to monochrome, the illusion of perfection disrupted by flaws and icy dust tones. Looking at their rap sheets, it was only a matter of time until the two found a common ground of shared visual aesthetics, a mutual love for black and an interest in the body; its shapes and place within the picture. Their collaborative series Primer, published exclusively here, combines photography and collage for a captivating visual narrative full of movement, sexuality and darkness. How did the idea of a collaboration come about?
