Priscilla Briggs: Impossible is Nothing: China’s Theater of Consumerism | LENSCRATCH
Priscilla Briggs: Impossible is Nothing: China’s Theater of Consumerism
China’s rapid economic growth has resulted in a complex transformation both constructive and destructive of that country’s cultural and physical landscape. My interest in the impact of economic systems and advertising on identity fueled my work in China …
via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2017/07/priscilla-briggs-impossible-is-nothing-chinas-theater-of-consumerism/
Impossible is Nothing focuses on that phenomenon with a six year investigation of where the east meets west. She traveled throughout the eastern seaboard of China to examine a “new brand of Communism that embraces Capitalism with Chinese characteristics.” Her photographs reveal constructed realities, especially when then relate to ideas of luxury gleaned from Western capitalist values and also shares what lies beneath the façade and the costs of global consumerism, as shown in Briggs’ photographs of factories and polluted waterways. Portraits, still life images and urban landscapes, rich in detail, are woven together to create a lyrical ode to the optimism and imagination of a country where anything seems possible

Covering Conflict in the Central African Republic
Photographer William Daniels published a book of his work in the African country
via Time: http://time.com/4799804/central-african-republic/
Over the course of the last three years, French photographer William Daniels made 10 trips to the Central African Republic to report on the country’s rapid descent into civil war and its very slow and still fragile recovery. His photographs were published, including in TIME, and exhibited internationally. Now, they are the subject of a new book, RCA, that takes a different approach — one that’s more reflective, “more subtle, more personal,” says Daniels.

Puk Damsgård’s The ISIS Hostage Examines the Horror of an Irregular War
Puk Damsgård chronicles the capture, confinement and eventual release of Danish photojournalist Daniel Rye.
via pastemagazine.com: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/05/puk-damsgards-the-isis-hostage.html
The ISIS Hostage: One Man’s True Story of Thirteen Months in Captivity is a case study in what might be called the New War Journalism. Puk Damsgård’s unadorned chronicle of Danish photojournalist Daniel Rye’s capture, confinement and eventual release delivers a lesson as astringent as medicine: in the modern era of irregular warfare, battlefields are no longer demarcated by flags or trenches but by ideology and memory

Bookstore Browsing: 10 Photo Books from Tokyo – PhotoShelter Blog
Bookstore Browsing: 10 Photo Books from Tokyo – PhotoShelter Blog
Travel provides a myriad of opportunities for the photographer to be visually re-inspired. We travel to Tokyo to peruse the bookshelf of local artists.
via PhotoShelter Blog: http://blog.photoshelter.com/2017/02/bookstore-browsing-tokyo/
Japan is famous for its camera brands and love of photography, but outside of Daido Moriyama, most westerners would probably be hard-pressed to name a Japanese photographer. In browsing a number of titles at the Tsutaya bookstore, I was struck by the popularity of vernacular photography. And in a land replete with the highest resolution digital cameras and technical accuracy, many Japanese photographers seem to embrace film and aim for a grittier aesthetic – perhaps a photographic reflection of their concept of wabi-sabi or the acceptance of imperfection and transience.

Peter van Agtmael’s new monograph, Buzzing at the Sill published by Kehrer, is a timely collection of images of a more challenged America, a sequel to his well-celebrated book, Disco Nights September 11th. Expanding on his work created during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq from 2006 to 2013, and their impact back home, Buzzing at the Sill, shows us a country in flux, a country in crisis, and more importantly, a country in need of better days

Every presidential campaign has a particular feel and color: the red, white, and blue days of JFK that ended in a sad pink boucle, the brilliant reds of Nancy Regan, the rainbow spectrum of the Obamas. But this election is perfectly captured in black and white by photographer Mark Peterson, stripping the last two years down to its bare bones, showing the warts and weirdness of democracy gone awry. The result of “the most polarized and bizarre presidential race in American history” is a new monograph, Political Theater, published by Steidl.
