Room 207, the book by French photographer Jean-Michel André, published by Actes Sud, is the winner of the 2024 Nadar-Gens d’Images Prize. In the summer of 1983, Jean-Michel André was seven years old. He went on vacation to Corsica with his father, his father’s new partner, and her daughter. On the night of August 5th, they decided to stop at the Sofitel hotel in Avignon. The children slept in Room…
Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations They say that I am grumpy, backward-looking, pessimistic and that I understand nothing of the splendors of contemporary images. No hasty generalizations, this is only true for those that come out of nowhere or from a box with a belly full of electronic components. I would be blind to the masterpieces of the new emerging “Leonardos”. I would be impervious to the beneficial miracles of collective…
Paris Photo continues to gain momentum. This year, the return to the Grand Palais allows the fair to double its space compared to previous years. The publishing sector benefits from this expanded area, now beautifully situated on the galleries overlooking the main hall. On exhibition, designed as a pedagogical project, caught our attention. Conceived by the Institut pour la photographie (Lille) in collaboration with Photo Élysée (Lausanne), L is for…

Post Summer Beach & Sea The photos that make up the Post Summer Beach & Sea series were taken in the fall of 2021, within a few weeks. From September to November, from the last hours of good weather to the first rains, they capture the nostalgia for summer. They freeze the sea and the sky which darken, the beach which is gradually deserted, the deckchairs which are put away,…
Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery, New York, will present works by Melissa Shook (b. 1939 - d. 2020) who began a personal documentary upon her daughter’s birth in 1965. The “Krissy” series continued for 18 years until her daughter's high school graduation. While other photographers/artists at that time used a camera to question their own identities, Shook committed to her first “Daily Self-Portraits” for one year from 1972 to 1973 and repeated…

The highlight of the public programme at Paris Photo this year is an exhibition of works by one of the most important and certainly most individual American photographers of the postwar era, Larry Fink (1941 – 2023). Sensual Empathy as it’s titled, is curated by Lucy Sante and presented by MUUS Collection. MUUS Collection acquired the Larry Fink estate earlier in the year and the team is still in the…
This is a first which was inaugurated at the Abattoirs de Toulouse contemporary art museum; the coming together of two major institutions and their photographic collections. A rich and not really known heritage, some two hundred and fifty works drawn equally from each of the collections. They were formed respectively on their own criteria, the Château d’eau embracing all photographic practices and the Abattoirs favoring more experimental or visual images.…
The agro-industrial region of Almería (Andalusia, Spain) is known locally as ‘The Sea of Plastic’ due to the vast network of greenhouses that dominate the landscape. It is an area dedicated to the production of out-of-season vegetables, often exported to northern European countries, including the United Kingdom. Bandia Ribeira’s work focuses on the often-invisible communities of workers who find themselves caught in a system where lax labour law and environmental…
The global surge in demand for avocados has driven drug cartels across Mexico to become heavily involved in the trade. In response, in 2011 a group of women from the community of Cherán (Michoacán state) took a stand against the local cartel and succeeded in establishing a new government based on long-standing Purépecha indigenous principles. For five years, the collective Ritual Inhabitual documented Cherán’s struggle through a blend of documentary…
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Herbert Shergold operated a commercial photography studio in Bristol, using glass plate negatives – an unusually antiquated technique popular in the 1910s – to create highly stylised portraits of actors as well as of his local community. In Shergold’s studio, Bristol’s working class residents were styled to appear as Hollywood film stars. Yet little is known of Shergold. After his death, his images largely disappeared…
Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht, the Netherlands, presents a retrospective exhibition of the American documentary photographer Joseph Rodriguez until February 2, 2025.

The images were taken in the 80s and 90s, mainly in New York City and Los Angeles. As a taxi driver from 1977 to 1987, Rodriguez captured…

This year, Paris Photo is launching the Voices sector, which highlights a selection of artists or galleries through the perspective of a guest curator. Three curators have been invited to design a proposal based on a theme of their choice: Elena Navarro, founder of FotoMexico, has created a project focused on Latin American photography; Azu Nwagbogu, founder and president of the Lagos Photo Festival, explores how artists reclaim archives; while…

Every year, with support from the Ministry of Culture and Kering, the ELLES x Paris Photo program highlights women's contributions to the fair. When it began six years ago, only 20% of the artists of the fair were women. This year, that number has risen to 38%, underscoring the importance of such initiatives. L’Œil de la Photographie spoke with Raphaëlle Stopin, the curator of this year’s program and the director…
It seemed natural: young photographers and friends from Hors Format formed a collective right after finishing their photojournalism training in 2020. Now scattered across France and even the world, four of the seven members still share an unchanged desire to create, connect, and work under the same family name. How did the collective begin? Camille Nivollet: We met during the photojournalism program at EMI-CFD. In May 2020, at the…
