    British documentary lensman Martin Parr understands a good, chaotic beach moment. Through his lens, we step into a universe of its own, on various beaches in the UK in his new book, “Beach Therapy.” Beaches, considered a laboratory for Parr, are a study of human behavior on holiday and experimented through techniques in his photography. The book explores his long interest in beaches, mainly through a telephoto lens: his subjects – some in focus, while some not – sunbathe, swim, surf, play, or take cover from the sun under colorful contraptions in Parr’s chromatic depictions of beach culture.

    Don’t miss Nobuyoshi Araki’s new book “Impossible Love - Vintage Photographs,” which displays his earlier works alongside recent Polaroid collages and slide shows of contrasting subjects that paint a vivid picture of his suroundings: strangers on the street and erotic portraits in inimate settings to images of food. Easily an iconic book.

    “In My Room” explores the very personal, often mysterious, work of photographer and painter Saul Leiter through his intimate black-and-white portraits of women he knew. Photographed in private at his artist’s studio in the East Village in New York City, Leiter reveals the hazy, delicate moments from his nude subjects.

    Some believe Moon phases can represent different meanings and can affect energy, even moods. The Moon continues to intrigue us. The chronicling of its arresting astronomy and its cycles were the point of focus for Italian photographer Luca Missoni in his book “Moon Atlas.” The book was published to align with the 50th anniversary of the landing of the Moon.

    Summer isn’t complete without several trips to a pool. In her new book “Poolscapes,” Brooklyn photographer Karine Laval transports us to childhood memories of widely shared pool experiences: sunbathing, relaxing and swimming. Laval distorts images of familiar pool architecture, settings and its bathers to pull focus to and from reality, memory and abstraction.
