Words by Alex Bec, Friday 08 January 2010

I came across a set of seascapes by Giles Revell recently, and with the bad weather that’s hit the UK this week, they seem that touch more relevant. A stark, well composed landscape is one of those things that makes a very successful photograph and the Londoner’s misty-sensibility only confirms the fact.

Work / Photography Photographer Joshua Osborne takes a closer look at Havana’s male subcultures

Back in November 2016, it was reported that Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro had died. The former prime minster and president’s death signified political changes which had been unravelling in the socialist paradise over the past decade, so London-based photographer Joshua Osborne decided to seize the opportunity for a holiday before the country developed beyond recognition. But when he got to Havana, Josh found himself captivated not by the country’s picture-postcard past but by its future: youth.

Work / Photography Grégory Michenaud’s ongoing project sees him explore identity in a Hasidic Jewish community

In photographer Grégory Michenaud’s ongoing project he explores Jewish identity, which takes him on a journey inside religion, family values and history. The project is inspired by an old Jewish tradition that’s not practised anymore, called “Yibbum” or levirate marriage, and it obliges the oldest surviving brother of a man who dies childless to marry the widow of his childless deceased brother.

Work / Photography Photographer Gilleam Trapenberg explores macho culture against rose-tinted skies in Big Papi

If you Google image search Curacao, a Dutch island in the Caribbean, you’re met with a landscape of white sandy beaches sitting next to rows of pastel coloured architecture. The combination isn’t common, but as photographer Gilleam Trapenberg explains, “Curacao is an island of paradoxes”.

By toying with light and texture, photographer Marta Serrano’s latest series Enter my Dreams depicts the sensual existence of an intimate world presented through the lens. Each image tells a soft and poetic narrative that resonates with us all, leaving a sense of familiarity, wonder and empathy towards a male stranger.

Work / Photography Anna Beeke explores the contradictions of life aboard a cruise ship

Photographer Anna Beeke’s series At Sea is an ongoing exploration of American cruise culture. “The once romantic notion of travelling the ocean to distant lands has become an accessible and affordable way to vacation, with more and more people taking to the seas each year,” says Anna. “Cruising is the fastest growing sector of the tourism industry worldwide – this project takes a lighthearted look at what it is like to be a passenger on board these floating hotels and the places to which they take us.”

Work / Photography In Praise of Shadows photo and sculpture book celebrates the mystery of monochrome

When photographer Michael Bodiam and sculptor Andrew Stellitano set out to collaborate, Michael happened to be reading In Praise of Shadows by iconic Japanese author Jun’ichirō Tanizaki. “It’s a short read but it’s packed with fascinating and inspiring observations,” Michael describes. “For me, the most captivating are when he explains how and why the beauty of certain surfaces, materials and objects can become elevated when viewed in near darkness.”
