While we typically bring you a list of 40+ workshops to consider, we’re changing that approach this year. Below, you’ll find details about how popular workshops have pivoted due to the pandemic. Predictably, many have adopted online models while a handful of others have chosen to cancel their plans altogether.
In “Regard,” a series of black-and-white portraits of herself and her daughter, Lulu, Anna Grevenitis casts viewers as the passersby who stare at her child, a teen-ager with Down syndrome.
Anna Grevenitis, a forty-six-year-old French photographer who lives in Brooklyn, is the mother of two teen-agers: Andoni, a lean, restless fifteen-year-old who just started shaving, and Luigia, eleven months his elder, who has thick-rimmed glasses and shoulder-length blond hair, the tips of which she dyes every several months, to match the latest shades of stars like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Luigia, who goes by Lulu, is her mother’s usual muse. For most of the past decade, Grevenitis has photographed her daughter daily, with such studied devotion that Andoni, in his childhood, became envious and begged Grevenitis to shoot him, too. Her son outgrew the routine—“He doesn’t want to see me with my camera next to him in the street,” Grevenitis told me recently—but Lulu, who loves to dress up, still relishes the attention of the lens.

Last week, photographer Gregory Mango won an important lawsuit against online publication BuzzFeed; it’s important, not because of the payout involved, but because of the precedent set by the court, which ruled that BuzzFeed was liable for 3rd party infringement of his photo because they removed his copyright info from the image.

The architecture of the Soviet Union has always been some of the most ambitious of the 20th Century, where so many gaudy and grand details were considered. It even extended to the bus stops. Christopher Herwig has been documenting Soviet era bus stops for years, culminating in two volumes and hundreds of photos of incredibly unique structures in the most rural and urban places.
Theo has lived without a home since he was born. For him, his mother and those trying to help them, the major concern is how anyone can find a way to get this one homeless boy off the streets.
Theo pops his head through the door of his tent and scrunches his nose against a cold breeze. A mop of coarse black hair sticks up as the 7-year-old rubs his eyes and puts on his glasses.

The decision comes one week after a series of photos from 1989 depicting teenage sex workers were unearthed in the archive, raising concerns about how they were captured and the legality of licensing such imagery.
How can we picture the somewhat invisible relationship we have with our surroundings?

Baljit Singh and I are Internet friends. We haven’t met in real life, nor do we really message each other all that often. I only know her through the details that she shares — the visuals she posts and the words she writes. I think we sort of just admire each other’s work from afar. I can’t even remember where I first saw her photographs. The most likely answer would be Instagram, but my memory keeps visualizing a Tumblr page.

Andy Sweet’s 1977 photographs from Camp Mountain Lake, in North Carolina, beautifully capture the cheerful triumphs and the gutting alienation that one can experience at camp.
This cluster of knotty feelings resurfaced almost immediately when I began looking at Andy Sweet’s photographs from Camp Mountain Lake, in North Carolina. He took the photos in 1977, only five years before his tragic murder, at the age of twenty-eight. (In an essay published in the Oxford American, in 2016, the novelist Lauren Groff discusses the murky circumstances surrounding his death.) Sweet was based in Miami, where he made a gorgeously vibrant series on Jewish retirees, a body of work that has been rediscovered only recently (and was collected in the book “Shtetl in the Sun”). He documented those subjects—mostly Eastern European immigrants who first settled in the Northeast, before making their way south, to Florida—as they lived out their twilight years in Miami Beach. Camp Mountain Lake, too, was predominantly populated by Miami-based Jews—Sweet spent his own summers there, first as a camper, then as a counsellor, and, finally, as a photography instructor. Like his elderly subjects, Sweet’s camp kids were thrown into an unfamiliar environment that they had to puzzle out and master. In both photographic series, the sense of the intense realities of life in an isolated group—its cheerful triumphs, its particular internal politics, and the gutting alienation one can experience within it—are beautifully captured.
