New York in the 1980s and the first half of the 90s was clearly a different place than it is now: the city was more violent, the street stranger, and Times Square still wonderfully sleazy.

These three volumes of Tom Wood's new work, Landscapes, are drawn from the artist's extensive unseen and unpublished landscape work. The first volume concentrates on Wood's photographs made in response to the West of Ireland, County Mayo, the landscape of his birthplace and childhood and an area he has returned to as an artist almost every year since 1975. Taken over decades, views of this wild and remote landscape, many of them glimpsed from the car, bus or train during his journeys there, are combined with fragile fragments of surviving family photographs, video stills, and intimate and affectionate portraits of day-to-day life within a rural community.The second volume consists of Wood's landscapes predominantly made within Merseyside, where he lived and worked for 25 years, from 1978-2003. In this more urban environment, his landscapes encompass pictures of people's homes and gardens, parks, wastelands, and the river Mersey. Wood moved to Wales in 2003 to address what he has referred to as "the matter of landscape." His open and experimental approach to photography means he is constantly pushing its formal and conceptual possibilities.Selected from the photographs he has been making in Wales, the third volume is the most formally abstract of the three books and includes many photographs taken with a panoramic camera - complex, optically rich pictures with multiple points of view and focus.

Teen Tribe is a series of intimate portraits of Martine Fougeron's two adolescent sons and their tribe of friends growingup in New York and France. Begun in 2004, Fougeron has followed the lives of her sons Nicolas and Adrien from theages of thirteen and fourteen respectively as they entered adulthood. The book pictures adolescence as a transformativestate, caught between childhood and adulthood, between the feminine and masculine, between innocence andburgeoning self-identity. As both mother and photographer, Fougeron combines a tender transparency for her subjectwith a more distanced view of the world of teenagers. Teen Tribe is a visual diary of her sons' domestic lives arrangedchronologically, capturing the different rites of passage and personal challenges they encounter over time. Inspired byDutch paintings of domestic scenes particularly those of Vermeer, as well as by cinematic compositions, Fougeron'swork is both a sensual biography of two boys, and a depiction of the universal process of growing up to which all canrelate.Martine Fougeron was born in Paris in 1954 and studied at Wellesley College and l'Institut d'Études Politiques deParis. For the past fourteen years she has lived with her two sons in New York. After a successful career as creativedirector of a perfumery, Fougeron turned to photography, studying at the International Center of Photography in NewYork.

Fougeron is a regular contributorto The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine.
