“Social Studies,” a documentary series by Lauren Greenfield, follows a group of young people, and screen-records their phones, to capture how social media has reshaped their lives.
The moment is signature Greenfield. Since the early nineteen-nineties, the Los Angeles-based photographer and filmmaker has been one of our most steadfast chroniclers of contemporary America’s excesses

One must be ambidextrous in opening this beautifully and cleverly crafted monograph about a mysterious island by the creative duo, Gabriele Chiapparini and Camilla Marrese. Their creation, “Thinking Like an Island” , published by Overlapse, provokes the viewer to engage in a visual and mental jigsaw puzzle with psychological overtones. The book is a feast
The book is a feast served á la carte or in its entirety depending upon the path you choose. Its layout consists of four rectangular mini booklets that can (and probably should) be viewed as a group in sequence revealing the mysteries of a lightly inhabited island somewhere off the coast of Italy (or is it?). You can never be certain of where you are, nor can you be sure of when, but the one certainty is that the island is remote but not remote enough to avoid an Amazon delivery
In this brave account of a family navigating breast cancer, Anna and Jordan Rathkopf turn the camera on each other. Capturing resilience, vulnerability and the tenderness of caregiving, the book offers an honest look at how chronic illness impacts all areas of life.
We Are Here is admirably diverse, and many of the pictures are great. Highlights include the lush, wacky, fashion-forward work that Feng Li has been making on the streets of Chengdu, China; Romuald Hazoumè’s cheeky sculptural typologies of laden bike riders in Benin; the oneiric pictures of 1990s Saint Petersburg by Alexey Titarenko; a collection of era-defining 1990s Japanese street-style pictures that Shoichi Aoki shot for his magazine FRUiTS; and exuberant pictures of children’s play in gritty 1970s New York by graffiti documentarian Martha Cooper, which elaborate on earlier projects by Helen Levitt and Arthur Leipzig. Yet the exhibition is also dogged by a nagging question: Is twenty-first-century street photography hopelessly outmoded?
For Nasseri, politics are, first and foremost, about people—their faces, their gestures, their often mundane interactions and environments—and he’s interested in exploring this theme even when not on explicitly newsy assignments. Luckily, the R.N.C. provided opportunities for additional discovery: instead of flying to the Convention, Nasseri decided to drive from Los Angeles to Milwaukee and back, spending three weeks on the road capturing what he encountered in some seventeen states. “I wanted to see how we live as Americans in the shadow of the Presidential election,” he told me recently.

Perfection is fine conceptually, but it should never be the goal. In fact, I think perfect books are very boring. A book should have an edge, some friction. I mean that a book should have some level of desire to make you uncomfortable, because in that way a viewer has to bring something to the book. You are going to be sharper, more present when looking at the work. Perfection lets the viewer be lazy.
The expansive catalog offers an essential compilation of essays, interviews, and profiles of Japanese women photographers from the 1950s through the present day.
Earlier this year, I was able to participate in the New England Portfolio Review hosted by The Griffin Museum of Photography. I am always happy to sit down and discuss the creative work with other artists who are genuinely excited about what they are making. It is informative, rousing, and delightful. Over the next few days,
AH: I’ve been a newspaper photographer for nearly 15 years and the early part of my career was spent in local newsrooms, so I understand how they work and what to highlight. I known to look for the police scanner, I know to ask where the newspaper morgue is and I know that I can usually find a bottle of whiskey in the office supply closet.
Among the most notable events captured by Lowe’s camera were the Siege of Sarajevo during the collapse of former Yugoslavia; the toppling of the Berlin Wall; and the release of South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela from prison.

The knowledge that Halide won’t gloss over imperfections makes me slow down and consider the creative process for a beat longer. It makes me think more about what I’m seeing
Afghanistan’s Taliban morality ministry says it will implement a new law that bans any photo that depicts a living thing from being published. This rule applies to everyone, including the media.
