This analog photographic method holds the unique documentary aspects of photography, as it captures the day and night of a distinct time and place. Chris McCaw is represented by photo-eye Gallery, for prints please inquire [here](.

Examining the deep emotional relationship between people and place, Caffery is recognized as a leading photographer visualizing the American South. Her shadowy, blurred images thoughtfully feature elements of luster to reveal elements of the shared human experience — childhood, spirituality, labor — and ultimately bring darkness to light. [Pre-Order Signed copies of In Light of Everything or read more]( lick of tongue, rub of finger, on soft wound Keisha Scarville Keisha Scarville has spent much of her life tracing routes of movement between the Caribbean and America in order to investigate her own lineage. Attempting to understand how notions of belonging and identity are formed and structured, her image-making practice visualises the latent narratives inscribed within the thresholds of memory across generations. [Pre-Order lick of tongue, rub of finger, on soft wound or read more]( Seeing People Dorothea Lange Dorothea Lange’s sensitive portraits showing the common humanity of often marginalized people were pivotal to public understanding of vast social problems in the twentieth century. Compassion guided Lange’s early portraits of Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as her depictions of striking workers, migrant farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans in internment camps, and the people she met while traveling in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Slippage occurs; memories of memory. Rules are fragmented and declarations declined. Decode. Decipher. Glyphs. Numbers. Skjæveland’s images are demarcated by muted color, potential connections. [Pre-Order 33 Suspensions or read more]( Very Pictorial Conceptual Art Robert Cumming Robert Cumming was an American artist who defied easy classification. A painter, sculptor, photographer, and printmaker he is perhaps best known for his painstakingly constructed conceptual photographs. This new publication edited by David Campany explores Cumming’s highly influential photographic works from the 1970s.

To begin with: it’s a parallelogram, with just enough of a skew from the traditional rectangular book frame to make you question your bearings. Second, and perhaps more importantly, it is unrelenting. Every square inch of page is covered. Small photographs pile up on backgrounds of lined orthographic paper, color fields intersect large photographs, diagrams, scribbles, notes and graph paper add up to nothing short of visual cacophony. I had a photography teacher who loved to talk about the inclusion of “pages de respiration” in a photobook — spaces for deliberate breath between photographs. Wojtas gives us no breathers — in we go, and in we stay..." — Meggan Gould [Read the full review!]( [Order copies of Abzgram]( PARIS PHOTO-APERTURE AWARD WINNERS --------------------------------------------------------------- The winners of the 2023 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards have been announced and are available for purchase at photo-eye!
