A new exhibition at Amber Film & Photography Collective brings together the work of nine photographers who have documented the young people in the UK over a period of 40 years. Rarely seen works by Chris Killip and Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen are shown alongside recent work by Alys Tomlinson, Maryam Wahid, Sadie Catt, Tom Sussex, Christopher Nunn, Paul Alexander Knox and Vanessa Winship. These photographers tenderly capture the awkward, surprising and passionate period of maturation into adulthood.

Contemporary American society has been monitoring itself in ways that destabilize our sense of well being. Sites and apps like Nextdoor and the Citizen come into our homes to remind us that all is not well in the world, in fact, there is a knife wielding man just blocks away or a dog is in distress and these notifications just add to our heightened anxieties and worries. Aaron Schuman uses this tension as a charged subtext to small town life.

Awash with lush, rich imagery and poetic text, Rebecca Norris Webb’s book Night Calls, published by Radius Books, is a gorgeous homage to her 99-year old physician father and to Rush County, Indiana – the small, rural county where both were born and raised. Photographed mostly at night and in the early morning, Rebecca mirrored her father’s work patterns, as he was often called to patients during the twilight hours. Accompanying her imagery of liminal stillness, landscapes of disorienting beauty and hints of decay, and portraits of former patients are her hand-written musings; bittersweet recollections of history and family ties, and deeper questions she poses directly to her father:

An illuminating glimpse behind the scenes of the global arms business: the photographer, who was born in Russia in 1986 and grew up in Germany, reveals the complete opposite of killing fields. In his case, war is an oversized playground for adults. He found the motifs, between 2016 and 2020, at exclusive defence trade fairs in Europe, Asia, and North and South Africa.

Over the last five years, the Italian photographer (born 1985) spent periods of weeks and months in La Guajira, a Colombian peninsula that is home to the indigenous Wayúu people. Border struggles, a lack of water, poverty, coal mining in the middle of a desert, being a transit point for migrants and smugglers; all give rise to the toughest of living conditions.

The powerfully dramatic moments were taken at close range, along the three most important migration routes that pass over the Mediterranean Sea and connect Africa and the Middle East to Europe. From 2013 to 2020, the Spanish photojournalist (born 1985) accompanied people who were following these different routes, taking the life-threatening journey in the hope of a new and safer life.

Photographer Ted Lau recalls his trip to the DPRK where he went to shoot the spectacular Grand Mass Games, and to offer a glimpse inside the daily life of the country’s residents.
The Italian photographer, Stefano Schirato, spent a full month documenting the excruciating, daily lives of workers in the east Indian mining district of Jharia. Constantly wary of sinking into one of the numerous, burning holes in the ground, he met people there who were as friendly as they were desperate: working day by day in poisonous fumes, they eke out an existence in inhumane conditions. With a Leica Q in his pack, Schirato draws an impressive sketch of a life dedicated to coal.

“I think that’s one of the things I really love about film, you have to sometimes work to find the pictures that you love,” photographer and filmmaker Greg Hunt told Juxtapoz. “They don’t always jump out at you, you have to spend a little bit more time just because sometimes you might get that contact sheet back from the lab and you’re looking for something else on it.” That a renowned documentarian such as Hunt has released 41 never-before-published photographs from his first camera and the subsequent 12 rolls of 35mm black-and-white film gifted him by another photographer, Gabe Morford, feels like a very special release indeed. The elegance in the photos of 20th CENTURY SUMMER is parallel to their raw moments as well.

From the eastern region of Maranhão to the western region of Rondônia, through the states of Pará and Amazonas, they portrayed life in modern-day Brazilian Amazon, where social and humanitarian crises overlap with the ongoing destruction of the rainforest.

Imperial County is one of the newest and poorest counties in America. Despite this, the local inhabitants still believe in the American Dream. Lars Borges’s pictures speak of the resilience of people – and of everlasting hope and the search for happiness.

The Through the Lens Collective is a relatively new organization. The female-founded and managed group began in 2018 as what organizers describe as a “collaborative educational and developmental photographic space.” The collective works closely with all kinds of photographers, but focuses on individuals who have some experience with photography and are looking for the kind of direct feedback that will help them advance their practice. “A lot of the way we work,” says founder Michelle Loukidis “is very much one-on-one, in small classes.” The Collective’s focus on individualized attention, she says, “gives people an opportunity to really push their boundaries, experiment and work in as many ways possible.”
