I got yellow, she got blue, here's the result." Commenters rallied together in agreement, saying how good of an idea this is.
Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (19082004) travelled all over the world and extensively throughout Europe. After producing numerous series of photographs for magazines in Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Switzerland and France, Cartier-Bresson wanted to bring them together in a book and in 1955, he published Les Europeens (The Europeans). This book of photographs aims to show what makes each of the peoples of this geographical area unique while highlighting their similarities. This exhibition brings together some of the most important photographs from the book.
"As a model in this industry for over 14 years, testing has been, and will forever be a huge component of a model's career. "Yet the frustration has always been the same with it. This is why I have created the Testing Network. In my 14 years, I have found that when a shoot is curated with a full team of creatives, these shoots are some of the most inspiring, influential and fulfilling experiences I've had of my career. But those tests are a rarity, and they shouldn't have to be."
Melbourne-based photographer and artist Kayla creates images that live between beauty and absurdity, confidence and uncertainty. In her work, the pretty becomes peculiar and the awkward quietly alluring, as she transforms fragments of her personal history into something playful, expressive, and reconciling. Identity, expression, and fashion merge in unexpected ways, guided by both her technical precision and conceptual vision. In Waiting Room, models are caught mid-leap, off-guard, or suspended between poses, moments that feel accidental but somehow composed.

With over two decades dedicated to ballet and contemporary dance, Marcelo translates a sharp awareness of space, body, and energy into a visual language that prioritises presence over posing. His work is a deep exploration of the transition of masculinity, a journey he has lived from the 1990s to the present day. By dissolving the traditional boundaries between toughness and elegance, Marcelo's lens creates a dialogue where opposites are no longer divided, but united.

Adapted from Rosenkrantz' book of the same name, published in 2022, the film hinges on a single conversation in December 1974, as Hujar recounts, almost pedantically, everything he did the previous day. Drawn from a long-lost tape, the monologue turns errands, meals and irritations into a portrait of an artist's inner life. It trades plot for precision, offering instead a study of friendship, attention and the conditions of making work in 1970s New York.
Where the book is really born was in the quiet, uncanny connections between images that captured "the ruin and feeling of uncertainty" growing up in the "third world" they grew up in, which they found to be genetically made up of abandoned places, fragile objects, industrial leftovers, traces of ecological collapse and moments where nature and human structures collided. In Uncertainties, the collision of imagery creates a menacing tone throughout:
They may not enjoy being on the other side of the lens, but photographers make for fascinating subjects. Thankfully for us, there's no shortage of films, both fictional and factual, that turn the camera the other way and show us what it's really like to be a photographer. Most recently, National Geographic released Love + War, a documentary about the Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario.

Catherine Wagner is never not doing something interesting, it seems, whether it's photographing hidden corners of Oakland's Mills College Art Museum for 2018's Archeology in Reverse series or using film canisters from the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive's to recontextualize the history of movies in 2024's Moving Pictures. Mostly she works behind the camera, which I guess you'd expect from a photographer.
"We make a lot of work together, but we do carry our own cameras and, within that shared universe, really operate as individuals. It may sound strange to people from afar, but for us that really does make a difference - whether I shoot a photo by myself. In small ways, we try to find our own individual work, which is also healthy, I think, and nice to do."
