New Photography / Instagram photos of North Korea by French artist JR
May 16, 2012 | New Photography | by Elizabeth Hosking |
French social activist, public artist and photographer, JR, has captured North Korea via Instagram. North Korean authorities strongly disapprove of picture taking in public, so this series of snaps is rather impressive, and makes an interesting use of the popular iPhone lens. Read more
New Photography / Stunning photojournalism by Richard Mosse
May 16, 2012 | New Photography | by Cybele Malinowski |
‘Extreme tourism’. That’s what Richard Mosse describes his field of photo-journalism as. His work really stands out as unique art amongst the plethora of press photographs of war-torn countries. Using infra-red film, the landscapes surrounding his military subjects jump out of the frame as a clash of vibrant magentas and violets, celebrating the natural environment which often goes forgotten in times and places of conflict.

New Photography / Aerial Nudes: a photo series by John Crawford
May 15, 2012 | New Photography | by Samantha Dalrymple |
We’ve seen a lot of photographers taking aerial photos but Auckland-based photographer, John Crawford, takes aerial photos to another level through his series of photographs entitled Aerial Nudes. I find these photos interesting because of the beauty and the humor it combines. Read more
New Photography / Dead Horse Bay: a world of trash in New York City
May 15, 2012 | New Photography | by Melissa Murray |
Ever wonder what decades of early century New York trash would look like? Got a fetish for vintage bottles and darling, broken up teacups, rusted safes and hosiery embedded tree stumps? Wear thick soled shoes, grab an adventure tote and prepare your stomach for, yes, dead horse bones. Pictures courtesy of Christina Pettit. Read more
New Photography / Historic black and white photos of New York City
May 15, 2012 | New Photography | by Zolton |
The Atlantic, which has to be the finest magazine in America, have compiled a remarkable collection of photos from the newly released database of the New York City Municipal Archives. Their collection numbers some 2.2 million images of New York in the twentieth century, from which, 870,000 photos have been made available for public use. It’s truly inspiring to see the wonderful city evolve over the decades. Read more
New Photography / New work from Scunthorpe photographer Jacob Lillis
May 14, 2012 | New Photography | by Catherine Losing |
My new favourite photographer has got to be Jacob Lillis. Brought up in Scunthorpe, his work has a dergy vibe, reminiscent of Richard Billingham, but with a tongue in cheek, fashion twist. Read more
New Photography / Photos of Chicago, New York in the 50s and 60s
May 12, 2012 | New Photography | by Elizabeth Hosking |
Vivian Maier has one of those bodies of work that is hard to overlook. The mysterious, and only recently discovered, nanny-photographer has left behind an incredible collection of photographs from the streets of Chicago and New York during the late 50s and 60s. I’m invariably refreshed when I stumble across a strong female photographer, and Maier’s impressive legacy of work is no exception. Read more
New Photography / Photos of fireflies by Tsuneaki Hiramatsu
May 12, 2012 | New Photography | by Low Lai Chow |
Japanese hobby photographer Tsuneaki Hiramatsu used time-lapse photography techniques to take numerous continuous long-exposure shots of fireflies at night in southern Okayama, and merged these shots afterwards in Photoshop. Now, if these pictures were taken over three years between 2008-2011, and the average lifespan of fireflies is a few weeks, we must be looking at several generations of fireflies in these images.

New Photography / People in and out of uniform by Herlinde Koelbl
May 12, 2012 | New Photography | by Low Lai Chow |
Showing that there are indeed two sides to a coin, Dutch photographer Herlinde Koelbl’s double portraits of people in and out of uniform holding the same gaze to the camera are deliberately framed against drab walls for that simple, understated coolness to them. Priest and chimney sweep included. Read more
New Photography / Reenactments of video games by Patrick Runte
May 12, 2012 | New Photography | by Low Lai Chow |
Hamburg-based Patrick Runte fuses gaming with reality in his photography series Jump N’ Run, with video game icons like Pac-Man and tetris blocks invading life as we know it. Very fun stuff. Now, where can we buy that tetris costume? Read more

May 11, 2012 | New Photography | by Elisa von Brockdorff |
Elisa von Brockdorff is a Malta-born artist who completed an MA in Fine Arts in the UK. She is mainly interested in the staged world, be it through her photography or art installations. She creates playful interventions within spaces using mundane and colourful objects, highlighting the contrast between materials, whilst hinting at irony or humor. Read more
New Photography / Photo collages of desolate places by Laura Marsolier
May 10, 2012 | New Photography | by Samantha Dalrymple |
Lauren Marsolier’s collage works would make one want to visit these familiar yet non-existent locations. She photographs different places and layers them to make them look like desolated places that are just beautiful and serene. The familiarity of these non-existent photos makes us feel like we’ve seen it, but we can’t identify where they are exactly. Like locations we would see in our dreams. Read more
New Photography / Evocative photography by Alison Scarpulla
May 9, 2012 | New Photography | by Travis Lawrence |
Alison Scarpulla is a magician. All of her images are done through traditional film. There is no Photoshop: that is her dipping her negatives into acid and wine. There is no fancy light trick: that is her smearing dirt across the camera lens. If there is one thing an emerging artist should learn to appreciate it is the art of process. It is a ritual and a ceremony. Learn this, worship this, and poof. You are a magician! One can only hope that your magic is as real as hers. Read more
New Photography / Inner Demons: a photo series by Jerry Bennett
May 7, 2012 | New Photography | by Travis Lawrence |
I have scanned this series an uncountable amount of times. Every minute, mystical detail moves me each time. Whether it be the hollow spine, the ethereal feathers, or Theresa’s cheekbones, this series hit the nail on the head. Read more
San Francisco illustrator Caitlin Kuhwald’s cleanly rendered paintings really hit the figurative spot. It’s so refreshing to come across an illustrator who still gets kicks from beautifully rendering a face, every strand of hair, every wrinkle in their clothing, and then turn around and subvert it all with a big bag of creative tricks. Read more
The name pretty much says it all. Frédéric Chaubin’s recently published collection of photographs from the late Soviet-era is truly cosmic. The photographs pop with a surreal grandeur, made more fascinating by the stark contrast of these extraordinary buildings and their very ordinary purposes. Read more

Cat-haters, or those simply too jaded by a lifetime of LOLcats, will get a kick out of this site, which wryly refuses to be wowed by any degree of feline adorability. But then, cat worshippers like myself will also enjoy the site, as it is still full of cats n’ kittens. Read more
I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
