Earlier this year, Arizona governor Doug Ducey signed HB 2319, a law that would make it illegal to record or photograph police within eight feet of them. It’s being challenged, and the results will have nationwide implications.

The Spanish photographer, Víctor M. Pérez, considers paradise to be an emotional and passionate place, where you share joy with your family.

I would propose a healthier approach to it is to open your arms up like an embrace and say, this is what photography is, a big tent. It has room for the technical, aesthetic, or edgy fine art, and it also has room for the commercial and documentary.

Beautiful, Still. is the first monograph from photographer Colby Deal, documenting the people, objects, and environments of everyday life in the Third Ward neighborhood in Houston, Texas, where the artist grew up. In this ongoing project, currently consisting of over a thousand negatives, Deal sets out to provide a visual record of overlooked communities and the cultural characteristics gradually being erased by gentrification, as well as a depiction of communities of color whose members are often portrayed with negative connotations.

Sunshine state. Swampland paradise. Tourist aspiration. Real-estate racket. Refuge of excess. Political swing-state. Sub-tropical fever dream. With forms of nature and culture found nowhere else, Florida is unique. It is also among the most elusive and misunderstood of places. Anastasia Samoylova has photographed Florida on intensive road trips. Walker Evans (1903–75) photographed it over four decades. Twisting the visual clichés, these two remarkably discerning observers convey Florida’s dizzying combination of fantasy and reality.
One of the country’s poorest regions, Dagestan, is also the region that has lost the most men to the war in Ukraine.

The Moscow-based photographer Nanna Heitmann recently travelled to Dagestan to talk with families and friends of the deceased. She found people who were deeply traumatized by loss, but who for the most part kept up a patriotic front. Parents, in particular, were adamant that their sons had died in a heroic cause. They spoke, as the Kremlin has done, about Ukrainian fascism and decadence—to some extent, perhaps, authentically, as Dagestan is a deeply religious and conservative society. More than one family mentioned Stalin as a man who could have handled this situation properly.

How does one come across non-archival photographs? There are boxes and boxes of strangers’ faces ready to be picked up in antique stores, flea markets, or even weekly garage sales. Though they might have been forgotten by one, it never goes discarded through Koike. With additive motion and revealed subtraction to the found images, strangers tend to warp, mutate, or remobilized. When I first came across his works in my freshman year of college, I was in awe to witness his treatment of guiding the viewers into possible lifeforms of still strangers, introducing a new paradigm to image appropriation. Through Photographers on Photographers interview, I had the pleasure to take a peep behind his curtain, a tricky visible world.
In three decades, Milton Rogovin and his wife, Anne, captured changes in one upstate neighborhood, while also reaching deep into grand abstractions of nature and time.

Milton’s photographs from the neighborhood originated in 1972, when he was invited to visit the home of a patient, and continued as he and Anne developed relationships with others they met. The elements of personal connection and social history, implicit in Milton’s earlier images, are rendered explicit in his series “Lower West Side Triptychs” and “Lower West Side Quartets.” For those projects, the Rogovins sought out people Milton had photographed in the nineteen-seventies and photographed them again during the course of three decades

If I had to share any advice with current students about life after school, it would be to first allow yourself to feel everything that you need to feel. Honestly, post-grad depression is very real, and it can often leave people (myself included) feeling quite lost and confused during that period. I went through it all, but I came out on the other side, so here are some more tips that I learned along the way and that helped me get through this period:

Lewis Khan: I was drawn initially to New Mexico by a fascination with the desert. I was interested to see how western human intervention interacts with, and crosses over into, that terrain. I felt like creatively I needed to put myself in a totally new and unfamiliar environment; I hadn’t traveled for a few years because of Covid, and coupled with that I had been making work in that time that was very much focused around my local community and my life personally.
