Is the photo-album giving way to the mixtape?
I recently attended a ‘conversation’ at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris on the impact of blogs on photographic criticism. A hugely disappointing evening on all counts, including an extended discussion of image rights and how many photos it’s ok to include in a single blogpost, however one idea did emerge which piqued my interest. [...]

Guest ‘curator’ on Bite! magazine
A few months ago, Diederik Meijer asked me to guest ‘curate’ (staying true to my post on curating, I have to use those quote marks since this is more editing than curating… but I digress) a week of Japanese photography over on Bite! magazine. It has taken far longer than I thought it would to [...]

Paris in Amsterdam
I have just written a piece on Michael Wolf’s Paris Street View for edition 22, Peeping, of the excellent Foam Magazine run by the Amsterdam museum of the same name. The museum got as excited as I did about this new series and decided to go the extra mile by putting up an outdoor installation [...]

Unless You Will
Heidi Romano recently got in touch with me as a result of the Future of Photo-books discussion over on the Resolve blog, to tell me about her online photo-mag, Unless You Will, which “strives to showcase photographers who add layers of meaning and capture these feelings (…) of emotion or nostalgia”. The magazine is well-designed [...]
bookshop M
One of the discoveries that I made at Paris Photo this year was the Japanese bookseller, bookshop M, situated right at the entrance of the fair. There is so much work to see on the walls that I sometimes find it difficult to find the time to spend with all of the books that are on [...]

A picture of a woman
I don’t normally write about fashion photography on this blog, or go out of my way to see fashion images. E doesn’t really buy magazines so it’s not lying about the house either. But like any other person living in a big city, fashion photography is absolutely everywhere, something that we practically breathe in every [...]

The Black Snapper
The Black Snapper is a new online photo-magazine which has just been launched by designer Frank Kloos and documentary photographer Diederik Meijer. The mag invites guests to curate one-week’s worth of content for the site, showcasing photographers’ work from all over the world. I will be acting as a guest curator in a few months, [...]
Photo-journalism: leaving Nachtwey behind
The excellent dispatches magazine recently organized a debate at Brooklyn’s VII Gallery with Gary Knight, one of the magazine’s co-founders, and Tim Hetherington, a young photo-journalist (and ‘thinker’) who has made some interesting attempts to break out of the dark corner in which photo-journalism finds itself. The debate is available in its entirety on the [...]

Deep Sleep
The first issue of Deep Sleep, a new online photo-mag from the UK, has just been launched. It’s a web-only publication and will be “issued” 4 times a year, with each issue on a different theme, the first being ‘Invisible’. I like the fact that they are trying to take a strong editorial line and [...]
