Portraits created from positive photographic paper
Richard Learoyd works in a very different way than most photographers and creates unique, one-of-a-kind images. His photos are all one-offs, as there is no negative or digital file. The works are created by the subject entering the camera itself, with the image then projected onto a sheet of positive photographic paper.

I guess you could say I like to work a lot more hands on and aggressively than most photographers. I ink, burn, melt, and hand stitch my negatives and final prints after mounting them onto aluminium. I like to push the boundaries of how you see the print and how you perceive a photograph. My primary subject at the moment is the human body and how it is perceived and also the idea of skin and its relation to types of material other than flesh. Read more
I first came across Iranian-American photographer Shadi Yousefian while looking for photographers who work in a similar way to myself. She works in a very tactile way with analogue photography: primarily self-portraiture dealing with contemporary life and the cultural identity of immigrants. She works directly onto the negative and uses sculptural components when presenting her work. I find the images she creates to have a certain intimate edge that lures you in and the scale is proportionate in size engaging you directly. Read more

We’ve posted about artists Maya Hayuk and Jen Stark individually, but now they have a joint exhibition, Double Rainbow Rainbow, up at the Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto. I wish I could make it. From the images on the gallery site, the two artists’ styles compliment each other perfectly. Read more

Whenever I’ve had enough of the odd behavior that surfaces due to people being crammed on a train in New York, I check out Subway Douchery and start feeling better as I laugh along with the administrators of this site. It’s just something every New Yorker can relate to because, sometimes, the subway is a freak show. Read more
Back in the ’90s, just as the gangsta rap phenomenon was winding down and hip-hop was fragmenting into its own subgenres, Prince Paul and RZA kicked off the short-lived horrorcore fad with their group Gravediggaz. At the time, the melding of dark, gothic themes with hardboiled rap seemed gimmicky and awkward, a strange extension of the early and awful attempts to bridge hip-hop and metal, but on closer listen, the now defunct supergroup was way more innovative than they were given credit for.

The newest giclee print from Rebel Unlit, Inquiry into Jellyfish, is an adventure in mixed media. We love the subtleties of this piece, which could be missed at first glance: the transparencies, the color distress, the foreground texture. We’re also a pretty big fan of that jellyfish. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this limited-edition piece is printed on cotton matt archival 310gsm paper and is available now in the Lost At E Minor online store.
