Winner of the Picto Grand Prize for Fashion Photography at this 24th edition, photographer Christopher Barraja unveils with his intimate series “De Chlore et de Rosé” a bewitching ode to intertwined bodies.

Dillon Marsh: For What It’s Worth
Cape Town-based photographer Dillon Marsh is known for his committed work that highlights the impact of man on his environment. Dillon has travelled across South Africa to photograph the impact of mining activities on nature. Mixing pure photography with computer-generated elements, the “For What It’s Worth” series shines a spotlight on the raw and unsightly […]
Patty Carroll : Portraits of Domestic Life
Patty Carroll’s first solo exhibition at Gallery XII in Los Angeles. Bright colors and pastels of a modern soap opera – white, pink, orange, yellow – or black bodies of decomposed models, faces disappearing under accumulations of objects, flowers or good-natured decoration; the subjects of the photographs are presented in domestic environments that deny them […]
Elizaveta Porodina : Dreaming in color
An internationally renowned fashion photographer, Elizaveta Porodina is particularly dazzling in her mastery of photography. Neon colors, silhouettes drawn as if with the tip of a pencil, reflections, brilliance or transparencies creating a unique pictorial impression… her universe is thus described as dreamlike and surreal. Indeed, her work is sometimes reminiscent of Man Ray’s photographs, […]
TODD HIDO
“The black sun of melancholy”1 Desolate landscapes, sad, worried faces, golds emerging from grey dawns or black twilights… Todd Hido’s new photographs are imbued with melancholy. Bare trees struggling in the mist, fallen trees blown down by the wind, deserted horizons and roads… it is the solitude (of beings and of nature) that emanates from […]
Mulhouse Biennial: Cosmic and Photographic Magic
The cosmos, often referred to as the cradle of humanity as much as its destination, does not escape the gaze of photographers, and this is what the Mulhouse Biennial of Photography is highlighting this year through its title, “Corps Céleste.” Thus, the luminous body of the photograph meets that which reaches us from the stars. […]
CHEMA MADOZ
Created in 1960 in Paris, on the initiative of Raymond Queneau, OuLiPo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle) set itself the task of discovering new potentialities of language and modernizing language through writing games. Born two years earlier, Chema Madoz could not have been part of the adventure. Situated on the borders of surrealism and the absurd, […]
Games of gender and gaze at Pixy Liao
In Pixy Liao’s work, the attitudes and interactions resemble the traces of an erotic role-playing game with a wry sense of humor. Partly because the staging, the bold colors, and the apparent cord of the photographic trigger evoke a dialogue between professional and amateur images. Partly because the roles in question contradict the representations we […]
NAMSA LEUBA, COMPOSED IMAGINARY
Discovering Namsa Leuba plunges you into an imaginary world of Afro-descendant identities. One must first become acquainted with all the colors, those of the sets and costumes, the make-up and the skins, without being surprised by the magical force of the whole. For it is through this that a hybrid narrative between vernacular reality and […]
NADINE IJEWERE, THE BEAUTY OF SHADES
Can fashion photography become a manifesto? With Nadine Ijewere, without a doubt. From her pictures, we retain the bright colors and the cheerfulness of the models, the poses in movement and the vitality of the groups in their interactions with their environment. For fashion photography, however, she chooses the diversity of bodies and identities. The […]
GRACIELA ITURBIDE – MYTHICAL
Suspended between the sky and the earth, the here and the elsewhere, the charred lands and the sidewalks or the clouds shrouded by birds, Graciela Iturbide’s keen and piercing eye has caught the strangeness of the world. This eye, on the lookout for the incongruous, for the poetry lurking in the ordinary, has made the […]
NUDE, SUBVERSIVE FEMININE LOOK AT FOTOGRAFISKA
Through its historical theme, this exhibition gives the nude a new lease of life. Avoiding the essentialization of the model as well as the artist, the images offer other perspectives of representation, embracing the fluidity of gender expressions. Thus, the exhibition “Nude” formulates a question more than an answer, that of the current and future […]
Photographic poetry
Damian Noszkowicz unveiled his new project, “GOSSOMER,” during an exhibition held in the former loft of Andréé Putman in Paris: images and words that testify to his journey from Poland to Paris and his emotional memories. In 2020, when the world stopped, Damian Noszkowicz took advantage of the time, free to go through his personal […]
ORLAN
Iconoclastic To make her body “a place of public debate”: this is the iconoclastic vocation that ORLAN gave herself nearly sixty years ago. Photographs, videos, sculptures, installations, performances, bodily metamorphoses, and virtual hybridizations… she has made a manifesto of her work and her life. A feminist and subversive manifesto as the retrospective (conceived with the […]
PETRINA HICKS, FLOATING SENSUALISM
The velvet of the skin meets the light of the scales and feathers of a foreign body. The snake and the owl, chthonic symbols at the junction between the human and underground worlds, night and day, carry with them the roots of the world and the myths of a remote time, and dialogue, nose to […]
THIRTY-THREE LIVES WANTED BY NADIA LEE COHEN
Nothing stops Nadia Lee Cohen. Her slender figure and her fiery gaze have contributed to her notoriety behind the lens. Because it is by staging herself, like Cindy Sherman, and by posting her self-portraits on Instagram, that Nadia Lee Cohen goes viral. Her surreal and spacey aesthetic, as well as her gift of chameleon through […]
BORJA ALEGRE, UNBRIDLED CREATIVITY
Originally from Spain, Borja Alegre is part of a new generation of contemporary artists whose creativity has increased tenfold with the discovery of digital tools. Passionate about painting and drawing since childhood, this young father admits without complex to have found a second wind with 3D motion design. Master in the art of animating his […]
JULIE JOUBERT, OF THE BEAUTY OF OTHERS
With Julie Joubert, the photographic portrait finds a new breath, between subjective documentary and studio compositions with worked lights. Her first book MIDO traces the story of an encounter and the discovery of an identity, that of Ahmed, a young man leaving a rehabilitation center and dreaming of becoming a model. Reflecting a real or […]
CHARLOTTE ABRAMOW, A SENSE OF HUMOR
The Belgian photographer Charlotte Abramow needs no introduction. The young revelation began to collaborate with magazines and artists at 17; in her personal work, she works the bodies and asserts her feminist spirit with the sweetness and humor of circumstance that are her trademark. Thus, with her Maurice Project, the photographer followed the remission of […]
Lucia Tallová
Pebbles as black as jet falling from a photographic face; a paper veil modestly lowered on a painted nude body; the part of a skirt as long as half-opened of a vintage naughty fashion photograph extending out of the frame by the vertiginous crumpled slope of a paper mountain… An omnipresent mountain, which spills out […]
GALLERY NUMBER 8, A RENEWAL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Gestural intimacies by Bettina Pittaluga, sweet and sour bodies by Olga de la Iglesia, and glittery, neon and futuristic skins by Ruby Okoro… beyond the aesthetic dialogue, it is under the aegis of the Number 8 gallery that these three artists are gathered. Since 2016, the Brussels-based web gallery Number 8, founded and directed by […]
Contact Boards, an air of Normandy
Smith: cosmic and photographic echo
ImageNation Paris : photographic immersion
