MAGAZINE EXCERPTS
Profiles
From images of dancing Aborigines in Australia to personal family portrayals, Lorena Guillén Vaschetti’s photography evokes memories and emotion. In 2012, her first monograph was published — a series of old family pictures that she rephotographed after her mother had attempted to abandon them.

Abelardo Morell is undoubtedly one of the most compelling visual artists of our time. Rather than relying heavily on Photoshop and the latest camera gear, his images come from a unique way of looking at the world. One of his most notable works is his Camera Obscura series, which he initially photographed with a large-format [...]
Interview
When I lead kayak tours at Channel Islands National Park, I often tell visitors they’re only seeing half the park.

But what stands out most in these photographs — covering [...]
