Lucas Zarebinski is a New York-based still life photographer. He writes: ‘I grew up in Bielsko Biala, Poland, a small city famous for goose down comforters. When I was 17, I dated an artsy blond girl named Olga who was a photographer. In the few months I was around her, I realized that I had a knack for still life photography. That pretty much sums up how I became a photographer. I now live in New York permanently and create images for a living’.

GL Wood is a fashion photographer based in New York City. His unique style combines photography with dadaist design, japanese minimalism, and colorful, tangible papièr collages.

His models seem to undergo a body modification that is somehow beyond photoshop. The eclectic talent, without notice, suddenly shifts to unexpected austerity: the black and white, dusty pictures, after the fireworks of bright colors, have a soothing effect.

Rachel Bee Porter is a photographer based in New York. She received her MFA (Photography) from Parsons, The New School for Design in 2010. This work is from her series, The Joy of Cooking.

It’s a lot of pressure being named one of the top fifteen emerging photographers in the world by American Photo Magazine. Luckily, New York-based Amy Stein delivers. Her work explores our evolving isolation from community, culture, and the environment. In a time of disposable digital photos, it’s refreshing to see some photography that I want to look at twice. Luckily she’s releasing a monograph of her series called Domesticated. Not quite ready to commit to paper? Don’t worry, it’s all on her website.
