Shadi Yousefian
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.

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
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. Read more
