Klea McKenna

Klea McKenna Work from Slow Burn. “Klea McKenna describes her series Slow Burn as “an ongoing series of experiments” in which each image reveals or teaches her something that leads her to the next. This approach—photography as a heuristic process, in which the “eureka” moment of one image pushes us forward toward new discoveries with […]

Vincent LaFrance

Vincent LaFrance Work from his oeuvre. From an excerpt from an interview at Too Much Chocolate: Radeq Brousil: Vincent, your works are filled with a certain type of irony and poetry.

David Axelbank

David Axelbank Work from the Lozenge Series. “The idea of “Landscape” is dependent on the human viewpoint – it is a cultural and aesthetic construct versus the natural world.

OIivier Charlot

Olivier Charlot Work from Japanese Conjecture. “My initial photographical approach began exclusively on events met in the street.

Aesthetically, she fits easily in her native land (The Netherlands) and the great majority of her works follow the aesthetic and conceptual concerns of contemporary Dutch meta-photographic works. The […]

Herbert Weber

Herbert Weber Work from his oeuvre. “The Toggenburg photo artist Herbert Weber is fascinated by basic issues of the medium he works with. There is definitely some romance involved in his inquiring the truth of images, in spite of the photography’s long-known loss of authenticity… The prominently placed wire may be interpreted as the umbilical […]

Matthieu Lavanchy Work from Mr. Schuhlmann or the Man in the High Castle. Below is an excerpt from an interview with Wallpaper Magazine. You have used strong flash lighting in your Mr. Schuhlmann series. Was this intentional?Yes. I believe light is an integral part of the overall meaning of an image. In this case I […]

Kate Steciw

Kate Steciw Work from her oeuvre (and her Tumblr). “Photographically, and aesthetically, I am interested in making a photograph “other” letting it move beyond the 2D and exist in 3 and even 4D spaces or implied spaces but also juxtaposing the mundane or expected with the altered or intangible.” – Kate Steciw via P.S.1 via […]
