Amani Willett
Amani Willett is a Brooklyn and Boston-based photographer whose practice is driven by conceptual ideas surrounding family, history, memory, and the social environment. He normally uses Toyo 4x5 field camera or Canon 5D Mark II to photograph.
Willet’s work builds on his constantly winding approach to visual storytelling. It started with straightforward street photographs and has grown into a fragmented presentation of history and mythology, continuously shifting shape from project to project. He likes about this way of working is that this ambiguous space can sharpen our understanding of the world by creating a dialogue between unexpected images and ideas. For example, protest images can be juxtaposed with family pictures, modern landscapes with historical portraits, computer composites with hand-erased pictures.
The book Disquiet is a meditation on starting a family in a time of social unrest and uncertainty in America. Pictures are lit by moon, or fire, or lamplight, also with reflection through smoke, windows, doorways. Willett pondered both the depth and fragility of social and family relationship in this book. Unlike fear, disquiet is fretful, ongoing and hard to confine.


Matías Costa

Matias Costa was born in Buenos Aires and now lives and works in Spain. He studied journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid. His work explores the question of ‘belonging’ and looks at the feeling of being a stranger when confronted with the notions of territory and identity. He received two World Press Photo awards, a Discovery Prize at Photo España and an Honorable Mention at the RM Photobook award.
The book Zonians is a record of the inhabitants’ daily lives as well as sceneries of the Panama Canal Zone. Compared to a journalism field photography, the book can be seen as documentaries. These images, taken between 2011 and 2014 in the Panama Canal and Orlando, follow the traces of the Zonians memory and the moments before their near disappearance. The images in the book are colorful, with soft color and bright light. The overall tone of the picture is unified, more like film style.

Marina Ballo Charmet
Italian photographer and psychotherapist Marina Ballo Charmet's captures the parks of such cities as Milan, London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Madrid, Lisbon, Palermo and New York. The images featured here are photographed close to the ground, revealing each park as its own universe--a riot of unique vegetation and color. After all, her images are refreshing, focusing on “the everyday, the ordinary, the uncertain.”
Charmet manages to capture the uninhibited beauty of the park - a space away from the congestion and density of the city, where people's perceptions shift, humanity relaxes, and we take a break from the frenetic pace of daily life. Her images show the quality time of people, like paintings in the museum, with unity and uniqueness. Although most of her works are black and white, these series are filled with colorful views.

Marc Wendelski Marc Wendelski is a geometrician anarchist, a meticulous amateur, a liberate surveyor. In his book “nage libre” he used his camera to capture landscapes and people. In most of his pictures he used diagonal or asymmetrical structure to composed his pictures. And the square pictures, with all sides of equal length, help him to emphasize the objects in the picture. Also, he used wide angle lenses to picture landscapes. Wide angle lenses give you a wide view and it’s perfect for capturing expansive landscapes. In Marc Wendelski’s pictures, the wide angle lenses help him to capture the whole landscapes and since wide angel make things look far away, it makes the scene magnificent. When noticing the color of his pictures, they always have a low saturation. The color in the pictures are not faithful to be reality. Even in the photos he probably took in summer, which trees are green, they convey a desolate feeling. Among all his photos, the sky is always white or light grey an...

Dennis Hopper Born May 17th 1936, he started taking art classes when he was 13. He started out as an actor but he developed a bad reputation for being a difficult actor, he turned to photography in the 1960’s.  He used a Nikon 33 mm camera that his wife gave him for his birthday. He took a lot of monochrome photographs and when he photographed in color he focused in on the way the colors worked together. He has captured many politically driven photographs but he has also captured many portraits of friends and the people around him in life. He liked to colors as an abstract design and would often photograph graffiti from the gangs in Los Angeles. For the series of photographs that I looked at he chose to capture these colorful designs in polaroid photos.  Artists Work My Photos

1/ what do you intend to photograph? I want to capture the real identity of different people. I want to photograph people when they are doing something in their bedrooms. I will start by asking questions: what you usually do in your bedroom. I want to find out the unknown sides of them. So I will mainly focus on my close friends who I have known for a while and find out either dark, crazy, weird sides by asking questions. will use a wide-angle lens trying to show their personality through the room decorations. My subjects might not look at the camera. And I hope they are comfortable with what they are doing like there is without a camera and outside observer. 2- why do you want to photograph the subject? I feel people all show totally different sides in public. It is necessary to hide some parts of the self. But it is interesting to explore what people are hiding or not brave enough to show. I know decent people take naked portraits or living under a mess because of mental p...
