Sara Cwynar: Most often, I will find an image somewhere (I am always trolling old encyclopaedias, the New York public library, flea markets, photo manuals and many other sources). I will scan the image, enlarge it often to many times its original size, then rebuild the picture out of laser prints so that it is a large version of the original image tiled out of many smaller pictures.

Who is Claude Guillaumin? A lover of women? A voyeur? Pygmalion? Probably all three. But in this profession, where one is surrounded by beautiful bodies and faces, who isn’t?

Trained by the British photographer Bill Brandt, Moore visited India for the first time in 1971 to document Indian palaces, some of which were barely still standing. Impressed by the blend of local architecture combining European influences with Indian techniques, Moore expertly captured the nostalgia inspired by the castles from another era.

Dialogues, from Africa is a series made in response to Alejandro Cartagena's running series in fototazo, that wants to extend the dialogue across the Atlantic, but further south. Having been based in Johannesburg for some time now, I have always felt the need to create a space of dialogue where photographers working in Africa and Latin America learn about each other's work, but that is not filtered through the galleries or mainstream media of the global north.

In 1958 in Rome, in a modest, sunny apartment, Claudia Cardinale, barely 20, poses for a paparazzi. It’s the heyday of la dolce vita, roman-photos, and young actresses falling for their Pygmalions, their directors. Claudia looks radiant, playful and deeply human before she became the star we know.

Alain Laboile est un photographe autodidacte qui a immortalisé les aventures de ses 6 enfants dans la campagne des alentours de Bordeaux. Il est assez rare d’ouvrir un livre et de s’extasier à chaque page.

Nous aimons les photographies, les collectionnons, et bien sûr, nous les partageons. Nous les aimons pour leur beauté formelle, leur puissance de témoignage, leur expressivité ou leur intelligence.

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected. Most of my photographs are of people; they are seen simply, as through the eyes of the man in the street. There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough – there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph. It is difficult to describe this thin line where matter ends and mind begins.”

The 1960s are dark and phantasmagoric, like an ambiguous terrain vague or “nowhere land” in the periodization of photographic history. I’m not free from that uncertainty about the interpretation of this complex decade.
Une horde de photographes et de techniciens a été déployée sur les 12 stades de la compétition au Brésil afin de ne rien rater de l'événement. Découvrez avec nous les coulisses de cette impressionnante usine à images.

"The purpose of my feed is to express a feeling of invisibility that I have felt for most of my career. I have always felt irrelevant and voiceless. My Instagram feed is my way of talking about the issues that plague not just me but other members of my community. For me it is not so much giving voice to the issues – I don’t believe I am qualified – but rather an attempt to amplify some of the injustices I see in my community of Bedford-Stuyvesant [in Brooklyn, New York], the African American community and the diaspora."
