In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Eric Axene, Yannis Davy Guibinga, William Daniels, Alison Jackson, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, gifts, beginner gear and cinemagraphs.
- Suzanne Sease features Eric Axene's project I Am Small Business. "This project has allowed me to readdress who I am as a photographer mid-way into my craft and develop a new methodology for expressing how I experience the world," he says.
- Ariela Kozin profiles Yannis Davy Guibinga and his unique style. "I look at my photos as small stories that are part of the same bigger universe," he says. "It's just a matter of what kind of story and in what way can I expand the universe."
- Documentary photographer William Daniels made several trips to Oasi Zegna, a nature reserve in the Province of Biella, Piedmont, to portray the natural environment surrounding the brand, Ermenegildo Zegna, and capture the company's spirit.
- Nadja Sayej reviews Truth Is Dead, a exhibition of the work of British photographer Alison Jackson who, for 25 years, has placed celebrity dopplegangers in compromising situations. There are 100 examples of her work collected in a retrospective at NeueHouse Hollywood running through Dec. 18.
- Rene Ritchie and Sebastiaan de With talk about the iPhone 12 Pro Max in this 25:28 video (we cut to the chase for you):
- In The Gift of Photography, Michael Durr lists a few ways to turn your images into gifts. It's never too early to get cracking on that.
- Joey Miller and Sarah McAlexander list 10 Essential Pieces of Photo Gear for Beginners. You can skip a few of them if you promise to shoot only in natural light.
- Four enterprising fellows at the University of Washington have devised a method of creating cinemagraphs from single images, which they reveal in Animating Pictures With Eulerian Motion Fields.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
