By Mike Rimbaud in New Photography on Thursday 15 November 2012

Stephen Mallon’s superb compositions freeze otherwise uncelebrated tasks into extraordinary images.

Jenny Mortsell Reader Find

By Jenny Mortsell in New Photography on Wednesday 30 May 2012

Every time I’ve been hanging out with Agnes Thor and some American dude asks what her full name is, they all go ‘whoohaa, that is such a great name’. I know. It’s the name of a genius and a star. Thor’s photos are sort of like her name: first they come off as dreamy, girly and sweet, amost giving a hazy David Hamilton vibe.

Markus Georg remakes famous landmarks

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Photography on Tuesday 25 May 2010

Close your eyes and picture the sprawling New York skyline for a moment. That’s it. Get a mental image locked in of the scale and grandeur of it all. Now open your eyes and stare at the photo in front of you. What do you see? A spindly collection of odds and ends or that very same skyline? The latter? Yes, Markus Georg has a remarkable ability to recreate legendary landmarks using the most benign of household objects. It’s all done for his brilliant series, Die Macht Der Bilder — or The Power of Photos.

By Gerry Mak in New Photography on Thursday 13 August 2009

Gabriela Herman uses long exposures, dramatic lighting, and unusually wide angles to great effect, capturing a lot of motion as well as the spaces around her subjects. Even her relatively static images seem to have a kinetic feel to them, very much emphasizing the fleetingness of the moments she captures.
