Working largely by instinct, she built relationships with the train staff that overlapped with the bonds she already shared with the friends travelling alongside her. The resulting images move fluidly between playful snapshots and contemplative moments. Together with the book’s title, they suggest that even within a glamorous world, the pilgrimage remains as important as the destination, because such realities are always fleeting and soon belong to someone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"7193\" data-end=\"7304\"\u003eRelated article\u003cbr data-start=\"7210\" data-end=\"7213\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.iack.online\/en\/pages\/book-review-as-seen\"\u003eWhere Travel Meets Photography──On the “As Seen” Series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"7285\" data-end=\"7288\"\u003eby Yukihito Kono\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"7306\" data-end=\"7307\"\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"7309\" data-end=\"7564\"\u003eTitle: \u003cem data-start=\"7316\" data-end=\"7346\"\u003eThe Minute You Have a Minute\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"7346\" data-end=\"7349\"\u003eArtist: Coco Capitán\u003cbr data-start=\"7369\" data-end=\"7372\"\u003ePublisher: RVB Books, 2024\u003cbr data-start=\"7398\" data-end=\"7401\"\u003eFormat: Embossed and printed linen hardcover, case binding\u003cbr data-start=\"7459\" data-end=\"7462\"\u003eSize: 240 × 168 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"7480\" data-end=\"7483\"\u003ePages: 120\u003cbr data-start=\"7493\" data-end=\"7496\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-start=\"7513\" data-end=\"7516\"\u003eEdition: First edition\u003cbr data-start=\"7538\" data-end=\"7541\"\u003eISBN: 978-2-492175-44-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"RVB Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42234707214545,"sku":"","price":6600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/9115\/5409\/files\/coco-cover_17d2d908-59df-476e-9348-65a3d9804f15.jpg?v=1777092786"},{"product_id":"mount-nelson-by-rosie-marks","title":"\u003ctc\u003eMount Nelson ─ Rosie Marks\u003c\/tc\u003e","description":"\u003ctc\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"4438\" data-end=\"4572\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"4438\" data-end=\"4572\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4439\" data-end=\"4571\"\u003eA photobook portraying Mount Nelson through memory, humour and a close attention to the people who animate its everyday rituals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"4574\" data-end=\"4946\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"4574\" data-end=\"4588\"\u003eMount Nelson\u003c\/em\u003e is a photobook by British photographer Rosie Marks, produced as part of Belmond’s ongoing series of artist books created in collaboration with contemporary photographers.

Influenced as much by painting as by photography, his attention is directed not only toward the monumental landscape but also toward rough potatoes grown at 4,200 metres, stones, plastic bottles and strange objects found at markets along the railway. What emerges is not a simple record of travel, but a personal attempt to grasp its essence and fleeting impressions—an approach that resonates strongly with Belmond’s series of artist books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"11741\" data-end=\"11852\"\u003eRelated Article\u003cbr data-start=\"11758\" data-end=\"11761\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.iack.online\/en\/pages\/book-review-as-seen\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere Travel Meets Photography──On the “As Seen” Series\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"11833\" data-end=\"11836\"\u003eby Yukihito Kono\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"11854\" data-end=\"11855\"\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"11857\" data-end=\"12065\"\u003eTitle: \u003cem data-start=\"11864\" data-end=\"11881\"\u003eAndean Explorer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"11881\" data-end=\"11884\"\u003eArtist: Colin Dodgson\u003cbr data-start=\"11905\" data-end=\"11908\"\u003ePublisher: RVB Books, 2025\u003cbr data-start=\"11934\" data-end=\"11937\"\u003eFormat: Hard linen cover\u003cbr data-start=\"11961\" data-end=\"11964\"\u003eSize: 168 × 240 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"11982\" data-end=\"11985\"\u003ePages: 96\u003cbr data-start=\"11994\" data-end=\"11997\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-start=\"12014\" data-end=\"12017\"\u003eEdition: First edition\u003cbr data-start=\"12039\" data-end=\"12042\"\u003eISBN: 978-2-492175-58-9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"RVB Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664190345425,"sku":null,"price":6600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/9115\/5409\/files\/andean-cover_52ae3775-3324-4af4-9353-f567d32b5430.jpg?v=1777092786"},{"product_id":"cap-juluca-by-jeano-edwards","title":"\u003ctc\u003eCap Juluca ─ Jeano Edwards\u003c\/tc\u003e","description":"\u003ctc\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"9190\" data-end=\"9307\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"9190\" data-end=\"9307\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"9191\" data-end=\"9306\"\u003eA photobook reframing the image of a Caribbean island through detail, abstraction and a quiet sense of absence.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"9309\" data-end=\"9715\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"9309\" data-end=\"9321\"\u003eCap Juluca\u003c\/em\u003e is a photobook by Jamaican photographer Jeano Edwards, made at the invitation of Belmond and centred on the hotel of the same name on the island of Anguilla.

Built in the tenth century and set across 3,200 acres of land, the castle is a place steeped in history, nature and enduring stillness; it was also once a seasonal retreat for the film director Luchino Visconti. Trained first as a painter before turning to photography, Young brings a distinct pictorial sensitivity to her subjects.

What her photographs capture is not narrative but atmosphere: a quiet meditation on memory, time and the fleeting beauty of everyday life. From shadows falling across an old chair to morning dew resting on leaves, her images gather delicate tensions drifting between reality and imagination through a soft and instinctive eye.
