I don’t usually post much photography but this morning is an exception. Guy showed me Jake’s work last week and simply, it’s nice.

Work / Photography Larry Hallegua captures sun worshippers on Pattaya Beach in Thailand

In his latest series, photographer Larry Hallegua has taken to Pattaya beach in Thailand to capture the characters and happenings of this tourist spot. The project began after Larry moved to Bangkok: “Shooting around Bangkok during the daytime wasn’t interesting me much, it can be a bit soulless during the day, and people tend to be inside because of the heat and humidity. After a few afternoon trips to Pattaya with friends, I started to take a strong liking to beach shooting.”

Work / Photography Lukas Korshan photographs Dulwich Hamlet FC, where you can “drink beer, stand up, and let loose"

When looking at the portfolio of Berlin-based photographer Lukas Korschan, the majority of projects are fashion focused. However, sitting among commissions for Comme des Garcons, Adidas and Ignant is a series on Dulwich football club, a small club whose following has gained a resurgence in recent years, bringing together locals and hipsters over a £10 ticket and a cheap pint.

Work / Photography Thomas Albdorf is “shifting perceptions” of contemporary photography

Austrian photographer Thomas Albdorf creates strangely composed images which make you ask how on earth he has actually created them. His use of hue and focus makes you think they could be taken using film, but the abnormal added aspects make you swear they must be digital.

Work / Photography Colour and shape form the spine of Olga de la Iglesia’s vivid photography

Minimalist elements combined with everyday objects form the backdrop of Olga de la Iglesia’s photography work. Enthused by everything we’ve created around us, she sees the mundane as a tool to create fascinating colourful imagery. “Human eyes see in colour. Through them, we understand reality by interpreting the way light comes down on every object, material, plant or being,” explains Olga. “This process alone is something that’s incredibly inspiring for me.”

Work / Photography Derek Man photographs the social housing tension in his native home, Hong Kong

Photographer Derek Man focuses his lens back to the city where he grew up for his most recent series, Close To Home. As an expatriate living in the UK for the past 12 years, the project strikes a balance between documentary style images of the housing situation at hand, but with an added personable touch by a photographer who knows it dearly.
