Tucked away on a street behind London's Oxford Circus is the fairly anonymous shop-front for Getty Images, and its archive of millions and millions of photographs. Such is the enormous depth and quality of the catalogue, the ever-changing shots that hang on the walls here are the cream. Right now, like everywhere else, the World Cup is on the agenda.
From next Wednesday, 14 June 2006, for just over a fortnight, examples from the life of Pelé are being hung up, as part of an exhibition that has been guest-curated by British menswear designer Ozwald Boateng. It coincides with the release of the silk-bound giant coffee-table book Pelé, that's been produced by recently-established British publisher Gloria. As editions of the opulent book start at £1600 or $2800, we would have to jump through too many hoops to show you images of it here. Suffice to say, there are plenty on the Gloria website.
Meanwhile, back at the Getty Images Gallery, for the next month it won't all be about football from the past. Throughout the World Cup finals in Germany, the most iconic image that has been taken at the tournament each day will be shown on a big screen in the window, and online as well. All of these brand-new images will be available to buy, starting at around £25. Much more affordable.

by Kiya Babzani As we turn onto the dirt road to Sonny Barger's house outside of Phoenix, AZ, the fear starts to sink in. I mean, he is Sonny Fucking Barger, the man that helped found The Hells Angels, the world's largest and most notorious motorcycle club. Photographer Clay Gardner and I are there to shoot Sonny for an upcoming ad campaign for Self Edge...
Considering fashion a tool for creating artful images, over the last 30 years Simon Foxton has become one of the industry's most prominent and avant-garde menswear stylists—his body of work now encapsulated in the exhibition "When You're A Boy" at the Photographer's Gallery London. Never concerning himself with trends, but instead gathering inspiration from images found within magazines spanning National Geographic to porn, ironically...
After 140 years faithfully hand-making British footwear, it's no small task to keep things fresh. But Grenson has managed to stay relevant while sticking to their core principles and standards of quality. Recently, they participated in a few exciting collaborations, most notably with Rag & Bone and New York boutique Odin. And last year, they made a long-awaited transatlantic journey to store shelves in...
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
