Lots of nice work on display in the new issue of Visura Magazine from Institute for Artist Management photographers including Joshua Lutz, Simon Norfolk, Paul Shambroom, Jodi Bieber and Rob Hornstra:
It used to be you won an award and people would say nice things, at least to your face; now it’s an excuse for a mob to take to the Internet and vilify you.
