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”.

In Paul Guilmoth’s new publication At Night Gardens Grow, the night becomes a stage for a strange, folkloric story, unfurling from the landscape the artist calls home.

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.

The photographer in me is responsive, impulsive, reacting to subject matter on the spur of the moment, more often than not giving very little thought to anything more than the lines and tone of what’s in front of me; the printer in me is methodical, exacting, always working in a more meditative way.” – Kit Young
