Images of ordinary settings reveal the beauty, enigma, and significance within the everyday. By capturing these unnoticed aspects, the artists invite viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle rhythms and life patterns that go unobserved. This issue features interviews with Alba Yruela, Francesco Neri, and J H Engström, and highlights Yiming Zhu, Olga Zaverzhenets, Maria Semmer, Kaytlin Schmidt, Jerzy Wierzbicki, Elisabeth Sanders, Ole Marius Joergensen, Shijia Song, Paula Bardi, and Shannon O'Connor.

This issue features interviews with Nadia Attura, Sandra Kantanen, and Alfredo de Stefano and highlights Ann Zhulan, Francisco Gonzales Camacho, Julia Casesnoves, Ludwig Spaude, Viet Ha Tran, Aya Okawa, Ekaterina Mikryukova, Florian Coëlo, Leonardo Bocci, and Maddy Loucas.

How to read images

Learn how to read photographs as a visual language

We have to understand photography as a language. A photograph is an image in which various signs are embedded, just like texts have words. Words form a sentence, and the sentences together tell a story. We can read pictures the way we can read a book. We can search in the photograph and look for the meaning. But in a picture, there are no words and sentences. We have to grasp meaning from the totality of the image, in which every detail plays a part. In this guide, you will learn how to read images and the way the photographer produces meaning in photographs.

Geert Goiris - Lying Awake

Geert Goiris

The work of Belgian artist and photographer Geert Goiris straddles a liminal position between landscape and still life. Haunting and dreamlike, the sometimes alien images denote a fundamental tension between man and nature often bordering on the sublime. From seemingly composed scenes of various objects or portraits to architectural and natural landscapes, the images impart a sense of uncanny timing or discerning observation, achieving both qualities of suspended time and unspoken narrative. Included is Myths, Places and Protagonists, a collection of short texts by Goiris offering personal insight into how a number of the images came to be created or inspired.

The Landscape

Don McCullin

After a career spanning 60 years, Sir Don McCullin, once a witness to conflict across the globe, has become one of the great landscape photographers of our time. McCullin’s pastoral view is far from idyllic. He has not sought out the quiet corners of rural England, but is drawn, instead, to the drama of approaching storms. He has an acute sense of how the emptiness of his immediate landscape echoes a wider tone of disquiet. McCullin is based in the geographical center of southern England. The presence of sacred mounds, hill forts, ancient roads and the nearby monuments of the prehistoric era have shaped his sense of nationhood.

Magnum Contact Sheets

Kristen Lubben

At their best, the pictures add to our understanding of the surface event documented and reveal something profound about the people pushing that history forward. ― The Los Angeles TimesAvailable for the first time in an accessible paperback edition, this groundbreaking book presents a remarkable selection of contact sheets and ancillary material, revealing how the most celebrated Magnum photographers capture and edit the very best shots. Addressing key questions of photographic practice, the book illuminates the creative methods, strategies, and editing processes behind some of the world’s most iconic images.

Helmut Newton - Us and Them

Helmut Newton and Alice Springs

Us and Them is an ode to partnership and art. First published in 1999, it gathers photographs by Helmut Newton and his wife, the actress and photographer June Newton, who worked under the pseudonym Alice Springs. The collection is arranged into five sections, alternating the gaze between Newton and Spring’s own tender internal world of “Us,” and the glamorous encounters of their social and professional milieu―“Them.”

Roe Ethridge - Shelter Island

Roe Ethridge

Shelter Island comprises a body of work made by Roe Ethridge during a summer stay in Long Island, New York. Renting an all-American kit house, Ethridge and his family discovered objects stowed in the garage, things discarded by a different family and from a different moment in time. The faded objects, which are leitmotifs of an Americana of the past, speak of a lifetime of childhood summers: dusty Cola bottles, a plastic bat or fallen kite. In Ethridge's work, the passage of time, and youth itself, is both acutely personal and stylised, in images that are at once synthetic and spontaneous, laden with familiar photographic tropes which are shown to us askance.

Daisuke Yokota - Matter / Burn Out

Daisuke Yokota

Daisuke Yokota has presented to the public an immense installation using 100,000 photographic prints coated in wax, which was exhibited in Aichi Triennial held in August 2016. Yokota's work 'Matter', a work whereby photographs have been printed on rolls of paper, has become a sensation. Since 2013, 'Matter' has been included in numerous international exhibitions, including Unseen Photo Fair Special Exhibition 'anima on photo' (Amsterdam, 2013); Photo London (London, 2015); JIMEI x ARLES International Photography Festival (Xiamen, China). 'MATTER / BURN OUT' is an extension of the work 'Matter' which was exhibited in Xiamen in 2015, 70 years after the war between Japan and China. Once the exhibition had come to a close, the work was burnt in the, once again, vacant space in the area. This 'burn out' process was documented in 4,000 photographs, whereby the data was processed, manipulated and revived to form a brand new, large scale work called "MATTER / BURN OUT", and edited to this new book. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2016 by Awoiska van der Molen, Simon Baker, Brad Feuerhelm
