Cécile Tréal: A Moment in Time It’s been a long time since Cécile Tréal and I first met. It was her father who introduced us, convinced we would get along—and he was right. I can still see us, driving through the streets of Paris in her little Fiat 500… from back in the day! singing at the top of our lungs, oblivious to the world around us. These memories, and…

Camera obscura. This is the instrument Vera Lutter uses to capture reality. And it also captures the expended time it takes for reality to impress itself on the light-sensitive paper. A huge and slow photography that does not care about the decisive moment or the potential of AI. It goes back to its roots, an exploration of light that produces spectacular images. SPECTACULAR. An Exploration of Light by the German…

Until the 23rd of November, Joseph Bellows Gallery presents the work of Bevan Davies. Bevan Davies: New York Typologies features vintage black and white photographs of lower Manhattan made in the mid-1970s.

What a beautiful book, what a wonderful eye! A Poor Sort of Memory by Tracy L. Chandler captures the essential strangeness of the inhabited desert in a special way, her photos telling us stories about things that happened in a private past. These are not the decisive moments of photo theory but rather the memories of them. They stir emotions in the same way visiting a historical site stir emotions.…

Bruno Quinquet sends us his series “〒YUBIN” and presents it as follows: “〒 YUBIN” is a collection of urban scenes from Tokyo, observed from the standpoint of a postal worker on their delivery round.

Formal Portraits by YLLA (Camilla Koffler, 1911 - 1955) My pictures preach no message and present no scheme of world betterment … I try for simpler goals: the personalities of the animals, their expressions, their beauty. I have often been asked what my favorite animal is. Any animal I am photographing is my favorite until I feel that I have exhausted

The sky essences The sky essences, trees, are at the base of the development and multiplication of the various forms of life on earth. This work finds and reincarnates the mythological tree of life. Trees are necessary, indispensable, they are everywhere but they are also so mistreated and eliminated by human activities. Trees are beings of light. They feed on it, absorb it, reflect it. Photographs are made by light.…

Sorry I Trashed It. The title Is a reference to the planet and my generation passing on a world covered is trash from every corner of the surface of the earth to the depths of the ocean. Somehow the Ocean seems to be a favorite dumping ground for our trash. Most of what we manufacture, purchase, use and consume is made to be perishable and eventually obsolete but at the…

You must believe in spring This project explores my unreliable narrative as an immigrant, as someone alien to a new territory. My work integrates photography and embroidery, creating unique pieces that deconstruct and reconstruct landscape imagery. I capture photos during car journeys, often with my partner driving. I then digitally manipulate these raw images, employing excessive image correction tools("retouch" and "blend" functions) until they lose their single vanishing point. Once…

Urban Duality This photographic series captures a silent dialogue between historic architecture and the palpable absence of daily life. The shots, while anchored in the tangibility of spaces, invite reflection that transcends the image fixed on film. The monochrome palette and the choice of black and white exalt the drama of architectural forms and chiaroscuro, highlighting the latent nature of places concealing untold stories. Each frame embodies a delicate balance…

The Morning Light In the study of history of photography it’s easy to see how light is fundamental, in fact photographers of every ages have been able to create atmospheres, communicate sensations and show the movement of surfaces through more or less intense contrasts of lights and shadows. Even in the observation of reality we realize that even most common objects get particular visual aspects thanks to light. I studied…
