American-born Hannah Pierce-Carlson lives in Vietnam, where she spends her time teaching English to middle class children and photographing their daily lives. Those daily lives seem to mostly be made up of Dora the Explorer, American-style video game arcades and overweight children. In fact, if it wasn’t for the Chinese-language signs p [...]
Emil Jakobsen Takes Awkward Photos of...
I enjoy taking pictures of strange people, like Denmark’s star sex therapist Carl-Mar Møller whom I was fortunate enough to photograph clothed (he doesn’t do clothes, usually). I also appreciate an obviously awkward situation in pictures. In fact, I often find it quite awkward when I take someone’s picture. It’s probab [...]

A rider is a contractual proviso that outlines a series of stipulations or requests between at least two parties. While they can be attached to leases and other legal documents, they’re most famously used by musicians or bands to outline how they need their equipment to be set up and arranged, how they like their dressing room organised, and [...]
Horsing Around at the Gypsy Mecca
Appleby Horse Fair has been dubbed the Gypsy Mecca, because every year Romany and Irish traveller families travel for weeks, from miles away, to get to the little Cumbrian village to celebrate their culture, meet up with old friends and haggle for horses. It is the largest fair of it’s kind in Europe and the last great Gypsy gathering in Engl [...]
Daytona Beach, 1999
In 1999, award-winning Magnum photographer Eli Reed set off to document Spring Break in Daytona Beach, Florida. Having watched the white kids getting hysterically drunk and ‘trying to crawl up inside the backside of uncaring contestants’ in wet t-shirt competitions, he moved on to the black spring breakers who were doing much bett [...]

Think your cellphone photos are pretty good? Do you have by far the best Instagram of all your buddies? That’s cool, but why don’t you prove it? This year, the Berlin Fotofestival is hosting a contest and asking you to submit your best mobile photography. The top three entries, chosen by a panel of distinguished photographers, wil [...]
Going Underground with the Homeless o...
Photographer Mikel Aristregi really gets a kick out of photographing different ethnic regions and subcultures throughout Asia. His newest series, -40/96°, documents desolate, homeless people in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, who attempt to escape the bone-chilling cold by living in the intricate underground tunnels that house the city’s hot-wate [...]
At Ease Beyond the Point of Comfort w...
Coco Young was Ryan McGinley’s “It” model in 2009 and 2010, later becoming the face of Cynthia Rowley and walking the Marc Jacobs fall 2010 runaway. Those are quite the feats for a 20-year-old in New York City.
Now, at 24, you could say she’s on the road to becoming the “It” photographer, with an intriguin [...]
Delaney Allen Hates Shooting People
I really hate shooting people. Which is fine, because I’m alone too often to photograph others anyway. Unless, of course, I happen to be dating someone – but then again I rarely date (and people tend to get freaked out when you take your camera along to a date).
You will rarely see strangers in my photographs. I want my work to be personal. I [...]

Magnum is probably the most famous photo agency in the world. Even if you haven’t heard of it, chances are you’re familiar with its images, be they Robert Capa’s coverage of the Spanish Civil War, Steve McCurry’s “Afghan Girl“ or Martin Parr’s very British holiday-scapes. Unlike most agencies, Magnum [...]
Elena Geroska Knocks On StrangersR...
Elena Geroska is a young photographer from Skopje, Macedonia, who for the past four years has been living and studying in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. For her latest project, Traces, Elena went around the city knocking on strangers’ doors and asking them to let her photograph them in their houses. I met her at a presentation of her pro [...]

Giles Duley has been getting a lot of attention recently as the photographer who lost both his legs and an arm after stepping on a landmine in Kabul while documenting American troops in Afghanistan. And while Giles has recently spoken of a reluctance to focus on himself and his accident, instead telling me that he’s hungover as shit whe [...]
You Wish You Were Like Jens and Bemo
Jens Andersson and Bemo Lundgren are the kind of guys who most of my friends who are boys want to be like. They’re both more than adequate skateboarders and the things that each of them make to pay their bills are pretty awesome too. Jens works full-time as a photographer and has shot advertising campaigns for lots of big brands, some o [...]
Public Housing In the Bronx Is Making...
While living in New York last year, Portuguese photographer Ana Brigida Moreira Mendes spent a couple of months in neighbourhoods like the Bronx, Harlem and the Lower East Side photographing the inside of some of its more dilapidated housing blocks. And that wasn’t her being nosy, it was her trying to get the state to give a fuck about [...]

Is This the World’s Most Antiso...
One of Sweden’s most acclaimed photographers Gerry Johansson takes photos of places created by people, but only when they’re totally empty. It might sound kind of lonely, but if you like to imagine the weird lives of strangers all over the planet then Gerry’s pictures are the perfect springboard. He’s been around for d [...]
