Words by Alex Bec, Thursday 30 July 2009

Predictably exciting update from London photographer Guy Archard. I especially like his Death in the Afternoon series, emphasing a natural penchant for personal exploration aside from his varied commercial output. Lovely stuff

Work / Photography Alex de Mora on shooting Vice parties and famous footballers

Snapping his way from the sticky floors of booze-fuelled Vice parties all the way to sleek shoots with world-famous footballers, London-based photographer Alex de Mora was signed by agency DMB represents last week. “Being on the same roster as Martin Parr is kind of nuts as I’m a big fan of his!” the photographer laughs. Curious to find out more about the man behind the lens, we caught five minutes with Alex.

Work / Photography Photographer Adrian Samson plays with space and perspective in this series of “still lifes”

Photographer Adrian Samson’s latest series is all about colours and forms. Titled Chroma there’s now four different iterations of the project but all are united in their aesthetic. “Earlier this year I got inspired by the exhibition of Russian Art of the 1920s and 30s at the Royal Academy of Arts called Revolution, especially by the geometric abstract paintings of Malevich and Kandinsky,” explains Adrian. “Kandinsky’s work was the first I had on my wall when I was growing up in Slovakia, so for me it was also a return to my first memories of seeing art.”

As we sweat our way through the longest day of the year, pagans and revellers in Wiltshire are probably heading for bed after spending the night beneath the stars in one of the oldest celebrations in the world. Summer solstice marks the longest day – and shortest night – of the Gregorian calendar and at 04:52 this morning, around 13,000 people saw in the beginning of the day at Stonehenge, the Neolithic site where the sun and moon have been celebrated for more than 4,000 years.

Work / Photography Kevin Serna explores familial relationships by capturing his dad’s Mexican hometown

Photographer Kevin Serna’s series La Presa explores his relationship with his dad by capturing the Mexican town Presa de los Sernas, where he grew up before he emigrated to the USA in the late 70s. “La Presa is a mountain town that sits just inside the border of Aguascalientes in Mexico, and is named after my family who settled there about 150 years ago,” explains Kevin. “In almost all of the images my father is beside me acting as a fixer of sorts, connecting me with the people and places from his childhood as well as family members I didn’t know I had.”

Work / Photography Photographer Rose Marie Cromwell's unconventional look at Havana

Itchy-footed photographer and artist Rose Marie Cromwell lives and works between Miami, Cuba and Panama. “I come from a family of social workers, and was part of a young artist and activist collective when I was a teenager in the 1990s,” Rose tells us of her journey into photography. “I watched the four day WTO protests in Seattle, and the experience influenced me greatly. Since then I have been interested in issues of social justice and in the effect of globalisation on local populations. Many people greatly benefit from the global expansion of commerce, but many others are impacted negatively.”
