Nazraeli Press

Nazraeli Press is a publisher of books of photography. It was founded in 1989, in Munich, Germany, by Chris Pichler and has been based in the USA since 1996.  ‘Twenty Parachutes’ is a unique book showcasing the photographs of late Margaret Bourke-White. Writer and curator, Trudy Wilner Stack, wrote the following in the introduction of ‘Twenty Parachutes’: “Few careers with a camera have been as narrated and celebrated as that of Margaret Bourke-White. With legendary fortitude and energy, Bourke-White time and again nailed the assignments she was given with formal brilliance and incisive descriptive power. In this series of images, we feel a relaxing of her precision as she recorded an emblematic struggle between natural force and human ingenuity, between our limitations and the grand devices we create to defy them.”
