Picture this!
The creative website of the franco-German TV channel Arte has started a great little weekly series of interviews with ‘emerging’ photographers entitled Picture this! The interviewees are not the usual suspects (I will confess I only recognised 2 or 3 names on the list), but it’s the format of the interviews that is the real [...]
Interview: Christian Schink, A different kind of discovery
Hans-Christian Schink‘s latest series 1h is a real departure from the formal precision of much of his previous work and a delightful return to the essence of photography. The series has just been released in book form by Hatje Cantz (this one cannot have been easy to print!). Some of the works from 1h are [...]

Aaron Schuman’s Sunday brunch, mushrooms included
After having met Aaron Schuman at Fotofest Paris last November I just stumbled across his latest project Jason is a Funghi (pronounced ‘fun guy’) in which he as turned one Sunday morning of conversation with Jason Fulford into a delightful series of stream of consciousness musings on eggs, signs, comic books, childhood, blood oranges (which [...]
Interview: Chris Engman, Freedom, possibility and a desire for purity
Chris Engman‘s series Landscapes is based on the vast open spaces of Washington State outside of Seattle, where Engman lives. The title of the series, just like the images themselves, suggests one thing, while revealing many others. He has a show on at the Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle until Christmas Eve 2010. This interview [...]

Interview: Joan Fontcuberta, Landscapes without memory
I first came across Joan Fontcuberta‘s Orogenesis series when I picked up a copy of the Landscapes without memory book in Arles last year. The series is deceptive; these aren’t photographs but computer-generated images created by software renderers that are designed to produce 3D images based on cartographical data. Fontcuberta decided to explore the possibilities of [...]

Apologies and explanations
Once again, dear readers, I have to apologise for my blogging silence. But this time I have a pretty foolproof excuse (see image above). In fairness I can’t blame my recent wedding entirely for the lack of posting as there is another happy event that has kept me busy for the other half of the [...]
Interview: Eikoh Hosoe’s Butterfly Dream
The exhibition, Eikoh Hosoe: Theatre of Memory has just closed at the Japanese Cultural Institute in Cologne. I did an interview with Hosoe during the opening weekend and a video extract has been posted on photographie.com. Update: Just a few minutes after posting this, I found out that Kazuo Ohno has just passed away at [...]
Interview: Hiroh Kikai, A man in the cosmos
I first met Hiroh Kikai in 2007 after discovering his portraits taken over several decades in Askausa, Tokyo, in his stunning book Persona. A collection of these photographs entitled Asakusa Portraits has since been published by Steidl. On a trip to Japan in May 2008, I managed to sit down with Kikai for an interview [...]
Mariko Takeuchi on contemporary Japanese photography
After a lengthy blogging absence, Ferdinand Brueggeman has just posted an interview that he did for FOAM magazine with the curator and photo-historian, Mariko Takeuchi. Essential reading.
