Words by Alex Bec, Friday 23 January 2009

We’ve always been a fan of Guy’s photography and so were very excited to hear he had a new website up. I’m especially keen on this one titled ‘Nine Lives’.

A young photographer with an incredibly bright future.

Work / Photography Photographer Toru Akai uncovers the Invisible Machinery that defines modern life

Photographer Toru Akai says that his main interest lies in “hidden and invisible structures in our modern society.” This idea underpins his series Invisible Machinery which looks at modern life in Tokyo in a series of brooding and atmospheric images. “Invisible Machinery is embodied in the social systems, the law and the architecture. Sometimes it appears in our own behaviour, gestures and figures,” says Toru, “So Invisible Machinery is in the outside and even in the inside of us. It’s invisible but the signs are everywhere among us. And I think a photograph could capture the invisible structure so well.’

Work / Photography “Nymphomaniac” photographer Casper Sejersen's explosive images

There’s something unsettling in the work of photographer Casper Sejersen. In one image, a woman stands serenely in a flimsy creamy yellow dress. On the wall next to her is a shattered full length mirror, and her eyes direct us to her feet – placed apart to tread on the mirrored fragments. Another series, titled Wish You Were Here from Man About Town features a ginger quiffed Bowie lookalike, his hair refracted in additional images around him, his eyes rolled to heaven. Among images of near-deathly stillness, there are images of explosive life – a car shattering into shards in a cloud of smoke.

Work / Photography Tim Schutsky's photography portfolio of personality

Within photography portfolios a sense of style is key. It is necessary for the photographer to document and display an image appropriately, but additionally speak of the personality behind the lens. This is a characteristic Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Schutsky defines in his broad yet considered work.

Work / Photography Sean Lotman’s serenely psychedelic photographs of Japan

Sunlanders is a new book of photographs by Japan-based photographer Sean Lotman. The 84-page book contains 48 full colour images that have been reproduced from the original hand printed C-Type prints. Published by Bemojake, the book is an affectionate document of the land that Sean has come to call home. The subject matter ranges from elderly people gathering at a window to gape at a passing parade to Sumo wrestlers performing sit-ups and street vendors gazing wistfully down the lens.
