  • Capozziello Interviewed by BJP and Daylight Magazine

    Link:

    Christopher Capozziello: When I first began making pictures of Nick, he didn’t like it. In fact, very early on, after I had just graduated from college and was living at home, I made a picture of him waking up. He immediately punched me in the face and said he didn’t want me making pictures of him. At that point I wasn’t making pictures with any real intention of telling his story, but what they became was a way for me to deal with our differences. In some strange way, as I’ve seen his story emerge, the pictures have brought us closer together. We spend more time together, talk on the phone more. That didn’t used to happen. The pictures have forced me to deal with the issues of guilt I’ve had about being the healthy [twin].

    Interview with Cig Harvey: YOU Look At ME Like An EMERGENCY – LENSCRATCH

    Sometimes you come across work you fall in love with, work that resonates with you in such a deep way, and you begin seeing the world through the lens and point of view of a great image maker.  I have been a fan of Cig Harvey’s photographs from the moment I encountered her way of

    via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2012/06/interview-with-cig-harvey-you-look-at/

    Cig is a visual painter, creating images that shimmer with color and gesture, that have the punctuation and staccto of red berries, purple finger nails, or a diving bell.  She speaks to memory, to moments, to quiet and beauty, and never loses her connection to the natural world.  Her work is a sensory experience, where you feel what she feels when she captured the dapple of summer sunlight on skin or the splash of water that is a color only our memories seem to hold

  • Otto Shulze: The Wonder of The Streets

    Link:

    The street is truly at the core of my work. The wonder and the random encounters of the streets are at the heart of my fascination with photography – especially within the context of the human condition. This is where it started for me and where I still go to this day for inspiration. To me, there is nothing like going for a walk with music in my ears and a Leica in my hand.

For the past four months, Nicole has been documenting the uprising in Syria. Months before, she was in Libya, covering her first violent conflict at just 25.

    In an interview with Photojournalism Links, she tells us more about her work in Syria, how she gained access to the country and what she’s seen there.

  • Daniel Milnor: Photographing On His Own Terms

    Link:

    When I look at the best documentary photographers in the world they are very selective about the information they put out. I don’t see Sebastiao Salgado on social media seven days a week. I don’t hear from Salgado every eight minutes. I know when I see something from him it has been well-planned, well thought out and is something I should pay attention to. We live in a world where people value photographers based on how many Twitter followers they have and that just isn’t smart. I love to blog. I’m not a proponent of the “you must post everyday” belief. I try to adhere to what I preach. Say something when I have something to say
