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 Leah Gordon photographs the Freemasons of contemporary Haiti

Freemasons are a worldwide group often surrounded by a secretive reputation, with a membership of influential members of local society. A non-religious and non-political group, in more recent years Freemasonry has become less active, or has alternatively become more open to a wider community. However, in Haiti, Freemasonry continues to grow in its traditional sense, and has been captivatingly documented by multimedia artist, Leah Gordon.

Work / Photography Award-winning photographer Ryan James Caruthers' sensual portraits

Since graduating from Parsons the New School for Design last year, Brooklyn-based photographer Ryan James Caruthers has garnered a steady stream of press coverage which earlier this month culminated in a spot in this year’s BJP Breakthrough Awards for his series Tryouts which won the Graduate Series award. “It was incredible to win an award like that, especially due to the personal context of the work. I’m very appreciative,” Ryan tells us.

Inspired by “my lack of involvement in sports while growing up”, Tryouts takes a closer look at traditional renderings of masculinity, performed in the wrestling ring, weight room, dance studio and swimming pool by a less-than-conventional cast of unnaturally flushed, achingly-thin adolescent boys. It’s a series which drips with the sweat of male vulnerability, tying the fine lines between “homosexuality, athleticism, and masculinity” together with all the nuance of an Evelyn Waugh novel.

Work / Photography Photographer Damien Maloney on working intuitively and playing with reality

Texas-born photographer Damien Maloney describes his style as “somewhere between recording what is in front of me and playing with things to see if I can construct something believable”. Now living in San Francisco, Damien’s first introduction to photography was taking pictures for his college newspaper which saw him shooting portraits, sports and still lifes. “At the time I was really excited to take pictures of anything, so I think I tried to apply the same philosophy to all these different image categories,” he explains. “I spent a lot of time on the internet engaging with other people’s pictures, asking them what equipment they used, and learning how to use lighting equipment. I identify with the self-taught hobbyist photographer.”

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.
