Alex Artz Work from Ailurophilia. While the statement is from her project Human-Animal, I find it applicable to the images above as well. “I continually wondered how adaptable the human home is for other species, whether that species lives in its own bedroom or in a cage in the backyard. The animals in these pictures […]

Barry W. Hughes Work from End of Time. Hughes got in touch with me recently to share his new project he also runs SuperMassiveBlackHole, which is well worth the read. “According to archaeological evidence found at many of Santorini’s ancient sites, the first human presence on the island is situated back to the Neolithic Period […]

Mark Lyon Work from Landscapes for the People. “My inspiration for creating photographs stems from finding and documenting peculiar juxtapositions in everyday places. This process often involves the act of rephotographing photographs. My current series, Landscapes for the People, looks at the use of romanticized wallpaper landscape photographs found in everyday environments. These wall sized […]

Lars Tunbjörk Work from The Office. “Tunbjörk’s images observe the sterile interiors of nameless business offices that, though different in name, share a lexicon of commercial iconography: neon lights, industrial ventilation systems, thin metal framed windows, computers, filing cabinets, and—most pronouncedly—white and grey cubicles. The series remains firmly grounded in this commercial world with little […]

Gustav Gustafsson Work from 24 Photographs (Mostly). “Evasive and mysterious, Gustav Gustafsson, is a talented young Swede who does not abide by scholastic philosophy. Maybe this is the key to understanding his work, a photographic investigation which is driven by its significance rather than technique, which ironically bends a certain Scandinavian tradition. His project on […]

Edward Burtynsky Work from Urban Mines and Breaking Ground. “Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that […]

Tema Stauffer Work from American Stills. “To perceive and subsequently reveal an inherent beauty in what may be characterized as “commonplace” requires the observer (i.e. the photographer) to consider specifically the act of seeing what is “there” or simply what “is.” Images that suggest recognition and acceptance of the banal differ from those, perhaps more […]

Colleen Plumb Work from Animals are Outside Today. “I began this project in 1997 looking at ‘fake nature’, wondering what substitutions for nature can satisfy in people. Looking deeper I began photographing real animals and how they can be a link for us to a world far from the reality and pace of contemporary life, […]

Céline Clanet Work from Un mince vernis de réalité [A thin layer of reality]. “In this work, I do not picture anything that comes within the event, the extraordinary, or even the anecdotal. Few subjects are filling these images : things or people, most of them are isolated, lost in a moment of silence. These […]

Daniel Shea Work from Removing Mountians. Check out his work on NPR here. “In the summer of 2007 I began shooting a body of work examining the coal industry in Appalachia. What started as an interest in the modern coal mining process known as mountaintop removal quickly evolved into an extensive study of the social/political […]
