In 2012, Dutch photographer Carla Kogelman – who previously worked in the theatre industry for twenty-five years – was commissioned by Szene Bunte Wähne, a youth theatre festival in Austria, to make a documentary about the rural Waldviertel region.
She ended up in Merkenbrechts, a small village of 170 inhabitants, where she met Hannah and Alena, two sisters who spend much of their time together in a carefree life of swimming, playing outdoors, and engrossed in games around the house. Carla started photographing them in powerful black and white, and has continued to do so, along with their families, friends and surroundings.

“I began creating photographs for this book on March 17, 2020, the day the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live, went into quarantine. The last photograph was made on May 22, 2021; a lot had changed.
I used a Polaroid 250 Land Camera for the black and white photos. In contrast to the handheld Polaroid camera, the color photographs were made formally, with a medium format camera on a tripod”.

‘So Long’ is a meditation influenced by the pandemic, not purely about it. Crippens’s photography started as two projects but elegantly blend together.
Vibrant messages on theater marquees and signs, like “Quarantine is Temporary/Wu Tang is Forever” provide us with a sense of hope, humor, and irony.

“And yet… and yet, it’s striking how the signifiers of wealth and privilege here remain almost unchanged from Fitzgerald’s day—the boats, the pools, the hunting dogs, the sports cars, the exotic pets. For the most part, these people are living in the world that their parents and their grandparents inhabited and created. They aren’t rebelling against the previous generation”.
- Jay McInerney, in the introduction for ‘These Americans’

“We approach a photograph and photography with the understanding that the photograph will depict more clearly that which we have already seen, something we know is real, something we know of. But it developed for me on the beach that I began to see unexpected things such as creatures. Using vision not to see more clearly that which we know and expect, but rather to discover that which we have no idea exists – such as creatures and objects not yet seen in Tideland, not yet depicted. Magical, dreamlike seeing, far from our everyday understanding”.
- David Batchelder about ‘Creatures’, 2023.

Over the years David Batchelder has taken thousands of digital photographs of “his” stretch of beach on the Isle of Palms in Charleston, South Carolina.

In this book, Batchelder’s creatures emerge from the sand and although one can clearly see eyes, mouths, noses, bones, and skulls, they are pure products of imagination seeking to be interpreted by a viewer.

“Addiction doesn’t exclude anyone either. No race, no orientation, not your background, not the colour of your hair. Not if you have yellowed or snow-white teeth, not if you’re hunchbacked, not if you’re a movie star. Not if you’re European, American or African. Addiction doesn’t care. Addiction is totally unprejudiced. And there’s not much of that around these days”.
- The book comes with an essay by writer Ralf Mohren, known from his novel ‘Tonic’. In the past Ralf struggled with an alcohol addiction.

Addiction is still a big taboo. With this photo book and project, Vivian Keulards breaks her silence around the addiction and death of her brother Hans. Years after his death, she went in search for answers. Why did he get addicted and she didn’t, how did he feel and could she have done anything? Her brother Hans was only 38 years old when he died in a hotel room in Berlin. His sudden cardiac arrest was caused by drugs.

“I have a mediocre relationship with my children; we don’t have many things in common. When we see each other, we talk about trivial things, but they never ask me about my personal past, like where and how I was raised, they’re not interested in this topic. As the years go by, we drift further apart, they have their own families now and are busy with other things. It’s hard to feel guilty all the time, but that’s how I feel. Guilty vis-à-vis my mother, guilty vis-à-vis my children, guilty vis-à-vis Rina”.
- From the Guilt chapter of ‘Undo Motherhood’

‘Undo Motherhood’ explores the reasons why a significant number of women around the world today regret becoming mothers. The women in this project love their children and are excellent mothers when judged according to society’s standards, and yet they hate the oppressive mother role that robbed them of their own existence and suffer through it in silence, feeling it to be the worst mistake they have made.
In this book, Diana Karklin combines two narrative languages: her photography and her interviews with women from seven different countries. It is divided into seven chapters: anger, fear, isolation, exhaustion, guilt, resignation and acceptance.

In the winter of 2017, when heavy rains followed a long period of drought, the highway bridge to the north of Big Sur slid down the wet hillside, rendering the road impassable from the north. When a 13-acre landslide dropped from the water-logged mountains of the south, the Big Sur area became inaccessible by road. It would be more than a year before Highway 1, lifeline to the community, could reopen for traffic.
When the road was blocked Kirk Crippens went to Big Sur.

The photographs Kirk made of the landscape show the peace and quiet, the destruction, and the beauty. His portraits of Big Sur residents reflect the resilience, self-sufficiency and attitude that life, work and art will continue through it all.

“So this isn’t really a book of photographs. It’s an interior autobiography, with accompanying illustrative images, a dream book if you like. This is an itinerary of science, spirituality, sensuality, the natural world rendered, and the first play-acting photographic self-portrait”.
- Lyle Rexer (a New York based independent writer and critic)

‘A Blue Idyll’ showcases mastery and imagination across an array of methodologies in nineteenth-century photographic processes. The book’s 112 pages span ’s 25 years of work in methods including embellished cyanotype, gum bichromate, platinum, collodion ambrotypes on black glass, and variants on French paper calotypes.

Dear Monsieur Picasso:
I am a student at Columbia University and this summer I am a freelance journalist. I know that you are very busy but I am here in my car and each day that you won’t see me, my beard grows longer and longer. I will soon look like Moses. If you would let me take some color photographs then I could go to Florence where I have some money and cut off my beard.
With hope I am,
Fred Baldwin

Fred Baldwin’s life took a turn in the direction of the extraordinary when he decided to interview and photograph Pablo Picasso. In his last year of college, he delivered a letter with own drawings to the artist. This made Picasso laugh and open the door. Baldwin’s life changed. He followed his dream, used his imagination, overcame fear, and acted – now he could accomplish anything.

“On a small Pacific island, four children lived without their parents, worked on boats during the holidays to supplement their allowance, and turned down dream university courses in order to provide more immediately for their extended family.
In London, two children lived comfortably with both parents and a nanny, spent their holidays learning to ski or sail or speak French, and had the freedom to study subjects like Philosophy at university, then pursue careers like photography”.

‘Someone Else’s Mother’ follows Juning’s deeply emotional journey. Forced to leave her village to find higher-paying work in the city, she became Caroline Irby’s nanny, a job that allowed her to provide for her children.
As an adult, and now a mother herself, Irby returned to Juning’s home village to interview her grown children and better understand what it meant for them to grow up without their mother’s constant presence.
