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 National Geographic Traveller winners, Deutsche Börse shortlist, Tyre Nichols, Ludovic Balay, Matt Odom and the Z-Mount.
- The Guardian presents the winners of the National Geographic Traveller Photography Awards. Categories include travel, wildlife, urban settings, people, food, landscape and portfolio.
- The Guardian also showcases the four photographers who made the shortlist for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.
- In Memphis, Through the Lens of Tyre Nichols (gift link), Ava Sasani and Eliza Fawcett explore the photography of the victim of a brutal beating by Memphis police officers. In photos released by his mother, he depicts "a vibrant city steeped in music and surrounded by nature. He captured murals painted along the streets, blue skies framed by pedestrian bridges and sunsets reflected in the wide expanse of the Mississippi." New York Times photographer Desiree Rios also illustrates the piece with scenes of Memphis.
- In The Poetry of Everyday Life, Devid Gualandris features the work of Paris-based photographer Ludovic Balay. "Beautifully lit and styled, his compelling visual tales are aesthetically pleasing records of everyday life -- carefully shot through a dreamy lens of vivid colors and engagements with natural light hoping to lend ordinariness a new aesthetic dimension and meaning," he writes.
- Suzanne Sease presents Bar B Que, the personal project of Matt Odom that explore the love of southern barbecue. "It is often said here down in the south that along with football, religion and politics, BBQ is one of the four topics that Southerners will never agree upon," he says. Not to mention which is the correct spelling.
- In And the Latest on the Z-Mount, Thom Hogan has three comments on the Phototrends interview with Nikon’s Keiji Oishi.
