Miao Jiaxin
Miao Jiaxin is from Shanghai but is currently living in the United States, completing an MFA at the Art Institute of Chicago. There is a great mix of work on his site, with some radically different approaches. The above image is taken from the 2006 series Times Square, “a juxtaposition of Shanghai and NYC created [...]
Eric Tabuchi
Eric Tabuchi is fond of the typology. He likes trucks, road signs, mobile homes, monuments, flowers, ruins and countryside skateparks. He even did a book called Twentysix Abandoned Gasoline Stations, an extension of Ed Ruscha’s Twentysix Gasoline Stations and a vision of our post-gasoline future. Although my attention span for typologies is shrinking by the [...]
Tomoyuki Sakaguchi
A Hollywood lighting crew get lost in Japanese suburbia and decide to set up on an anonymous street corner or in someone’s back yard? However he gets his orange and purple skies, hyper-green hedges and rabbit-in-the-headlights surburbscapes, Tomoyuki Sakaguchi‘s long exposures of street-lit suburbia have a great sense of missplaced drama.
Nguan
Nguan is a photographer based in Singapore, who has been getting quite a bit of attention. His website has four groups of work: I particularly liked his Beijing and Shibuya series. This is the kind of work that convinces me that there is still a lot of interesting things to be done with ‘street photography’.
Zhang Xiao
Zhang Xiao was born in 1981 in China’s Shandong province. There is some great work on his website, in particular his series on the demolition linked to the infamous Three Gorges Dam.
Youngsuk Suh
Thanks to Mrs Deane for switching me on to Youngsuk Suh‘s work. I am particularly enjoying the Wildfires series and, in the light of Errol Morris’s recent post on photographs and the text that accompanies them, the way that the captions make you read these images.
Hin Chua
I just came across the website of Hin Chua, a Malaysian-Australian photographer living in London. There is a bunch of interesting work there, although I found the After the Fall series to be his strongest (with a preference for Part I). It is pretty ambitious (“a meditation on that altered yet fundamental bond, examining the [...]
Taisuke Koyama
During my exceedingly short trip to Tokyo earlier this month, a friend of mine took me on a whirlwind up-and-coming-photography tour of Tokyo. First stop was at the G/P Gallery, in the new NADiff a/p/a/r/t art complex in Ebisu (which incidentally has an excellent art bookstore). They had a small solo-show (14 prints) of the [...]

Denis Darzacq
I first came across Denis Darzacq’s work last year with his series La Chute. For this series Darzacq worked with dancers from troubled neighbourhoods in the Paris suburbs, capturing their bodies suspended in mid-air against the grim urban landscapes of their quartiers. The series reminds me of the seminal film on the Paris ‘banlieues’ (suburban [...]
