Giacomo Brunelli
Giacomo Brunelli is currently showing his work The Animals at London’s Photofusion gallery (until March 26th). Brunelli’s images have a ferocity that is absent in a lot of wildlife photography. The images are not shot from a human perspective but from that of the animals themselves, which contributes to the immersiveness and energy of the [...]
Frauke Eigen, Shoku
Frauke Eigen is currently showing her series Shoku at London’s Atlas Gallery. The series is “inspired by recent visits to Japan” and this comes through in both the subject matter and the approach. These black-and-white images are taken right up close to their subject bringing texture and form to the fore. These are arguably distinguishing [...]

Marion Poussier
Marion Poussier has just been awarded the Joy of Giving Something’s first artist award (they throw in $15,000 with the award which is nice). I’ve written about JGS before and I’m glad to be reminded of their great virtual exhibition space. Poussier is a young French photographer, who already has a few interesting series under [...]
Stuart Woodman, Now We Are 30
Stuart Woodman recently sent me Now We Are 30, a book of his polaroid photographs which is the first to be published by his imprint, Doubleplusgood Books. The book is based on a series of pictures that Stuart took every day for a year, his 30th as you may have guessed. You can get copies [...]
Virgilio Ferreira
Virgilio Ferreira is a Portugese photographer who is fond of experimenting with focus, or the lack thereof. His previous series, Daily Pilgrims, was a series of ‘portraits’ in which the subject is blurred and the background in focus (the series is currently on show at the Museu da Imagem in Braga, Portugal). In his latest [...]
Pierre Faure, Burning Fields
I met Pierre Faure wandering around the labyrinth of Paris Photo last November and have since been meaning to post about a series of work in progress that he showed me at the time. The series, entitled Burning Fields, is a study of the limits of light in urban areas. Faure drives to the edge [...]
Guido Castagnoli
Guido Castagnoli’s images of small Japanese towns focus on familiar territory: there is other similar work floating around (Takashi Homma’s work on suburban Tokyo stands out from the crowd), but the originality of Castagnoli’s images is the light. These scenes of empty parking lots, amusement parks and all-but-abandoned main streets, tend to be shot in colder, [...]
Review: Andrew Phelps, Not Niigata
As soon as I heard the name of Andrew Phelps’s latest book I was intrigued. Niigata is not the most obvious prefecture in Japan for a foreign photographer to choose as a photographic subject (Tokyo’s magnetic pull certainly doesn’t seem to be weakening). I was all the more interested as Niigata is an area of some [...]

Jan Koster, Sine Labe Concepta
Jan Koster’s Sine Labe Concepta (the latin for ‘immaculate conception’) is a new series that sits in between his Dutchscapes and Havana work. Shot in different European cities including Venice, Porto, London, Berlin and Saintes Maries de la Mer, it starts where Dutchscapes ends, the Dutch coast, and ends where the Havana series begins: a [...]
