New Photography / Phil Jackson
February 8, 2012 | New Photography | by Bradford Haubrich |
To label Phil Jackson’s work as ‘photography’ doesn’t really tell the whole story. Yeah sure, his photos are all thoughtfully-composed and very well shot. But I can’t help but pick up on a certain raw energy when I look through his portfolio. After spending a few minutes browsing his website, it became very clear to me that this is Jackson’s real life, and these pictures are a manifestation of his everyday experiences.
New Photography / Carl Beebee’s Lovers and Liars photo series
February 8, 2012 | New Photography | by Debra Harris |
I recently came across the work of UK photographer Carl Beebee. He has just completed a series of work titled Lovers and Liars, which was created with 4mm figurines. The photographs are beautiful and are used as a tool to challenge your perceptions. His other work is equally as beautiful and ranges from unique portraits to crushed Coca Cola cans. Read more
New Photography / Fredrik Odman
February 7, 2012 | New Photography | by David Gaz |
I love this school of photography. It references the old masters while simultaneously being completely modern. Ever since art students were introduced to Joel Peter Witkin, it became fashionable to at least play with this vein. However, most never give their work the personal touches to make it their own like Fredrik Odman does. Nor do they have the attention to detail or flawless craft to bring it to this level. Read more
New Photography / Kentucky Fried Panda’s Photostream
February 4, 2012 | New Photography | by Nils Clauss |
A favorite photostream of mine by American born, Seoul-based photographer Aaron Choe. On his Flickr homepage he writes: ‘I can’t always be sunny honey, but I’ll always make you smile”. Fun and playful street photography shot on film that will definitely put a smile on your face’. Read more
New Photography / Yola Monakhov’s Empire Pictures photo essay
February 4, 2012 | New Photography | by Irina Rozovsky |
Yola Monakhov’s project Empire Pictures weaves together images loosely connected to the Hudson River and her depictions of people leave me stunned. This photographer’s heightened interest in and sensitivity to the lives of others give her subjects dignity and importance. Strangers she has met in passing seem to be sharing openly with her camera what we are too shy to admit to ourselves. Somehow, they are as curious about her as she is about them. Read more
New Photography / Gerry Badger: The Pleasures of Good Photographs
February 4, 2012 | New Photography | by Irina Rozovsky |
Gerry Badger titled his collection of essays on photography after Lee Friedlander, who once said: ‘the pleasures of good photographs are the pleasures of good photographs’. With accessible and vivacious writing, Badger makes seemingly simple claims that quickly become layered and profound. He is open-minded yet opinionated, slightly cynical, and deeply, infectiously infatuated with the medium. Reading this book and sharing it with students is indeed a pleasure. It makes sense that Badger was the 2011 winner of the Infinity Award in Writing.
New Photography / Incredible psychedelic photos of soap and water
February 3, 2012 | New Photography | by Alison Zavos |
Jane Thomas lives in Largs, Scotland, where she photographs colors and patterns arising naturally from the interference of reflected light rays from the front and rear surface of a thin film of water and soap held in a tiny frame (a ‘bubble wand’). The inner circle that she uses for these photos measures 18mm, and some of the shots are of tiny areas within that ring. Read more
New Photography / Photos of Impossible Architecture by Filip Dujardin
February 3, 2012 | New Photography | by Alison Zavos |
Filip Dujardin is fine art and architectural photographer based in Belgium. Dujardin’s Fictions is a series of fictional structures created using a digital collaging technique from photographs of real buildings in and around Ghent, Belgium. Some of his architectural creations are structurally impossible or implausible. Some of the most intriguing buildings seem perfectly ordinary at first glance, revealing their fictional nature as the viewer registers missing or incongruous details. Read more
New Photography / Thomas Barbey
February 2, 2012 | New Photography | by Mitchell Cooper |
At first glance, Thomas Barbey’s photos are awesome. But the fact that none of these shots have been photoshopped makes them mind-blowing. Read more
New Photography / Chicks with Guns: photo series by Lindsay McCrum
February 1, 2012 | New Photography | by Mary Chiaramonte |
I love this new book, Chicks with Guns, out by Lindsay McCrum. She photographed a compelling series of imagery of women with their guns. Read more

Rania Matar is a wonderful photographer who is currently working on a project called A Girl and Her Room. She has photographed dozens of teenage girls from all different social backgrounds to make up this tremendous collection. The photographs are very cool and offer a concise document of the personal space, fashion and the culture of teenage girls. Matar also teaches documentary photography at the Massachusetts College of Art. Read more

Her work has been exhibited in several galleries in the United States, Hong Kong and France. Read more

Oh, ok, so now I’ve seen it all. Or perhaps, in this case, I’m not seeing enough. Japanese game shows are so much fun. Seriously.
Ok, so I’m a big fan of any show that features sparkles, feathers and nipple tassels. Which explains why I’m so excited about the London Burlesque Festival. Come April, the city will be taken over by scantily clad women, vaudeville acts, dimly lit evening burlesque performances, and more outright wackiness than you can poke an ostrich-feather tickler at. If you’ve never been to a burlesque show before, and are a sucker for a suspender belt flicking or two, get ready for some heavy handed glamour and an experience you’ll never forget. And if you, like me, love an excuse to dress up in full costume and then take it off again to crowds of appreciative fans – raid the London vintage stores now for a costume and apply through the website to put yourself on stage. Applications close 31st December. [photo by Lisa Kereszi]

After getting lost in the quagmire that is the internet, M83’s Digital Shades, first released digitally in 2007, has just been given a space on the shelf in your nearest music shop. Before shooting to acclaim with Saturday=Youth, Anthony Gonzalez looked closer to Krautrock and Eno and produced this ambient sometimes beautiful record. There’s much less of a disco feel than both Saturdays and his first album, Before the Dawn Heals Us. Some might say it’s a bit self-indulgent, not easily accessible, and more of a soundscape than a pop attempt. Yet, like Eno, Gonzalez is slowly becoming a master of the perfect chord sequence, and the result is an interesting, often heart-wrenching, set of compositions. Read about M83′s favourite songs right now.
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction which had made its way into the world of fashion. These chrome metal steampunk goggles are interchangeable lenses with anti-fog, shatterproof UV-400, and come with fully functional alligator clips, claw spikes on the top, and a spike in one lens.
