Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967

Previously only available in a limited edition, Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967 is published today by Taschen. A testament to the decade's cultural metamorphosis, the book presents his candid pictures of celebrities and political events alongside snapshots of the everyday landscape. Hopper's own counter-cultural icon status has been largely constructed around his 1969 directorial debut Easy Rider, in which he also starred - this book looks to be a fitting tribute to his less celebrated photographic contribution to the story of 1960s America, much of which has remained unseen up until now. Leaf through and buy the book here.

Back to the Future

Brazilian photographer Irina Werning's ongoing project Back to the Future is a nostalgic gem. Taking an old photograph from her subject's family album she recreates their portrait in astonishing detail:

[pullquote author="Irina Werning"]I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.[/pullquote]
