Bowdoin College Museum of Art (BCMA) has received a gift of 238 works. A gift of David and Gail Mixer, the collection focuses on artists—whether self-portraits or portraits of other artists. Thirty-five of these works will be on view at the Museum through March 23 in a new show titled Hello, Stranger: Artist as Subject in Photographic Portraits since 1900. Since the advent of photography in the 1840s, artists have…
In an era where images keep moving rapidly across constantly evolving platforms, copyright is a vital concern for photographers. But how can they protect their work? How can they ensure that their rights are respected? And what are those rights in the first place? With the ADAGP's fall campaign of rights distribution to its artist members, here’s an overview of photographers' rights and how to secure fair compensation for their…
Her name is Jessica Forde. She sent us these images and this text which touched us: so here they are! JJN One day, not long ago, I settled on the Puig Petit. The small mountain borders the village of Coustouges (Costoja) located at an altitude of 827 meters in the Haut Vallespir and is part of the Eastern Pyrenees in the very south of France. It is less than 1…

When one thinks of artists and their muses Picasso and Dora Maar come immediately to mind, as do Man Ray and Lee Miller, Edward Weston and Charis Wilson, and Harry and Eleanor Callahan. These great artists focused on flesh, form, and beauty, while today our visual concerns have shifted to narrative: the ability to tell a story in a single picture. With the publication of White Women, Helmut Newton became…
Archives - October 2012 Only Ernest Bachrach at Radio Keith Orpheum had a career at one studio that rivalled Clarence Bull's tenure at MGM. He joined RKO at its inception in 1929 and stayed until Desilu purchased the studio in 1958. Before coming to RKO, Bachrach worked in New York for Famous Players-Lasky. In the mid 1920s Famous Players-Lasky was consolidated with parent Paramount Pictures and production was moved to…
During the pandemic, Swedish photographer artist Helene Schmitz made a deep dive into the her archives. The 1983 book published by Skreid publishing presents a selection of Schmitz's earliest production, a unique photographic material that constitutes an important piece of the puzzle in Swedish photography in the eighties. Schmitz's works and diary entries, together with letters from people close to her, are also a poetic document of the music and…

Terra Femina Deep inside of me, I have always had this land, these places that make our path of life. This land, the land of the women, those who are the guardian of our humanity, those who are our past and our future, our roots and our dreams. Mother-Earth, fecund earth, fertile earth, the one that bears the world Flowers show up in my work to tell life from conception…
The Weight of light The Weight of Light project arose from my pressing need to shield myself from light, seen here as a metaphor for the high expectations I once placed on the land where I live (Salento, in southern Italy). Such expectations, often unmet, left me deeply disappointed, eventually driving me to leave my birthplace. I ended up moving to London for a while, and upon my return, I…
The finger A few photos that wouldn't have a voice without a finger! From the existential finger to the master finger, from the questioning finger to the sniffing finger, from the missing finger to the pointing finger, from the middle finger to the Barthian finger, here's a selection.
Dysturban ‘I don’t have any politics. I’m an observer.’ -Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness [01] Konmark’s photographs are shadowy and mercurial as one’s psyche. His black and white images portray a subdued urban environment, mainly faceless and sometimes threatening, where human figures appear to be consumable, albeit beautifully romantic in their decay. One detects the presence of an uncanny shadow, sometimes pitch black, and sometimes grainy… As Carl Gustav…
(Ni) queue ni tête In Hans Christian Andersen's story “The Emperor's New Clothes”, the emperor is naked. However, even naked, the emperor remains emperor. But what will he be if he also loses his face? In this series, the faces disappear, hidden by a mask, a cone or any other accessory. Do these characters look at the future, at the past, inside themselves? No one knows. Are they optimistic, resigned,…
The digital shadows of words My visit to the North Caucasus residence coincided with the start of work on the project of the Chechen poet Arbi Mamakayev. The first thing that was done was look up information about him online. The biography of Arbi tells the tale of a man who experienced a challenging period of transition. In the Chechen-Ingush ASSR, in the village of Nadterechnoye, he was born in…
Two Visits to Poland In this portfolio of 15 photographs, the first 7 are from a visit in 2013 to Augustów, a small town in the north east, quite close to the Lithuanian border. It is an inland resort, with leisure activities centred on the river Netta and lakes. The final 8 are from a visit to Gdansk in 2017. They were all taken on Ulica Dluga (Dluga Street/’The Royal…
In 2008, the Photo Phnom Penh festival was born on the initiative of Alain Arnaudet who was then the director of the French Cultural Center, now the French Institute of Cambodia (IFC). He had already launched a dance festival, a street music festival, and theater activities, when he met two young people who wanted to exhibit their photographs before the creation of the gallery, library and restaurant. Concerned by the…
Chiron Duong (Durong Quang Dat) Vietnam. Born 1996 To paint a portrait of Vietnamese youth today, Chiron Duong proceeded in a systematic and highly organized manner. He asked each of his models, all different, to come to his studio with two types of clothing, those they usually wear on a daily basis to go for a coffee or meet friends and those they reserve for more important, more formal events,…
Mech Sereyrath - When the sun reaches the river To produce more, to consume more, we always need more energy. This has long been one of the problems that has slowed down Cambodia's economic development and this is why the decision was taken to build the large Lower Se San II dam in Stung Treng province on the river that is an important tributary of the Tonle Sap, and therefore…
Ly Sovanna : Ranoch Visited Angkor Photography can sometimes allow us to visualize dreams and facts that never existed. This is what Ly Sovanna asked for his series, the very first of his photographic proposals and which he called Ranoch Visited Angkor. “Ranoch” refers to a period when the moonlight becomes increasingly weak at night and Ly Sovanna, born in 1979 in Kampong Cham province and raised in Kampong Thom…
To celebrate the 15th edition of Photo Phnom Penh we simply asked some of the photographers who had previously exhibited at the festival to send us a previously unpublished photograph or one never exhibited in Cambodia before. There are therefore 60 of them, coming from Europe and Asia, with the exception of two who, of American nationality, are either based in Europe or are largely developing their activity there. In…

For the Club's first exhibition in France, La Chambre explores with three founding members of the association the broad theme of family photography. Affaire de famille – Family Affair offers a…
