Robert Mapplethorpe became infamous for his transgressive black-and-white photographs, which often celebrated the artist’s queer community. During the 1970s and ’80s, he photographed himself and his New York City coterie, which included musicians such as Patti Smith (his one-time Chelsea Hotel roommate), artists, socialites, porn stars, and members of the gay S&M underground. While his content could be shocking, Mapplethorpe was also highly attuned to his medium’s formal, more traditional elements; his pictures are deeply concerned with composition, color, texture, balance, and beauty.

Recently announced as one of All About Photos Best Modern Photographers of 2021 Francesco Gioia’s street photography are rich in color; bathed in shadows, and punctuated by fragments of light, they are invariably atmospheric, permeating with a palpable sense of drama that perhaps speaks to his love of cinema; more specifically: “film noir, german expressionism, the new Hollywood era, and Asian cinema”.

Russell is based in the Pacific Northwest and has long been taken with the majesty of its landscape. His new body of work has a theme of water running through it (pun intended). Russell is captivated by the idea of water as an unreliable narrator. Reflections upon its surface mirror its surroundings, but are easily destabilized, suggesting fragility in the familiar and offering a sense that things may not be what they seem.

New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco is an intimate journey to the pandemonium and paradise of the 1970s through early 1990s New York City.

Frequenting Manhattan’s legendary discos that arose amongst disorder, she captured hedonistic havens, celebrities, and revelers of the night. In contrast, daylight revealed the beauty of those who loved and thrived in burnt-out Bushwick, where she was a public school art teacher who photographed what she saw.
