‘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.

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

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

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

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

These are neither digitally manipulated effects, nor white fluffy stuff suspended from the ceiling. Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has managed to work the seemingly impossible and bring these surreal indoor (real) clouds to life. Read more

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

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

Poet. Photographer. Composer. Ethereal. Dreamy. I could write a thousand fluffy things about how brilliant Francis A. Willey is, but don’t waste your time reading my words. You should spend the next moments of your life exploring his poetry, viewing his haunting portraits and listening to (I promise you) some of the most beautiful piano compositions you will ever hear in your life. You will momentarily stop breathing on multiple occasions. Magical is an understatement. Read more

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

Built in 1894, Mai Manó House in Budapest is officially the oldest dedicated house of photography in Europe. And perhaps the world. It was turned into a commercial and residential building for a few years after the Second World War, but was resurrected as a space for photography in 1998.

Between 1979-1997, Jamie Livingston, a New York-based photographer, film-maker, circus performer and musician, shot a Polaroid nearly every day until the day that he died. You will cry and laugh and feel grateful to be alive by the time you reach the last photo, as he lies on a hospital bed, dying of cancer on his 41st birthday. Read more

When I did the Master Cleanse diet a few years ago — the one where you consume nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for ten days — I sat at work looking at pictures of food as if they were porn. Scanwiches would have gotten me hot and bothered like nothing else.
Already with a Spectrum show under their belt, The Archerbolds are an up and coming Australian band well worth checking out. I saw the Sydney-based lads play recently at the Mars Hill Café and it was evident that they should be permanently rocking out on a real stage; not in front of coffee sippers. Their floating lyrics, smart guitar riffs and meaty bass lines are infused by The Strokes, Mars Volta, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin — ultimately producing a freshly spun modern-vintage sound. Lead vocalist and guitarist Geoffrey ‘Gep’ Rectin says The Archerbolds plan to create a solid sound for next year: ‘Over summer, we’re recording an EP and working on a set sound, defining more of an image’. If their track, Rest Your Soul, is anything to go by, then it should be pretty dandy.
