Craig Nunn. Leeds-born, Cambridge-based photographer. Also a one-time Bollywood extra, and one third of a pop group called Internet Forever.
When I opened the email and saw that Craig included latest music video from the band he’s in, I smiled. It was a first for LPV. But seemed perfectly in-line with our ethos. Most photographers either have day jobs or other creative outlets. I’ve always been interested in how these type of photographers integrate their work with other activities, be it their day job or musical career. My friends over at insig.ht wrote an great piece on this awhile back called ‘The Insiders,’ which is worth a read if you missed it.
My taste in music is rather vanilla, and we’re not aiming to be Pitchfork over here, so don’t worry, but I enjoyed the video and thought the song was catchy.
(Note: From our recent entries it might appear that we’re favoring the “lo-fi-grainy-washed-out” look recently, but really, it’s not intentional. Just the publishing flow. I’m sure we’ll be featuring some crisp, clear large format landscapes soon enough.)
Anna’s work has been featured on several websites, but I somehow missed those features. Instead it was on Flickr that I discovered her hypnotic polaroid landscapes. I was discussing her work with James the other night and I said that it made me feel like I was entering her magical natural world. Sometimes you can’t articulate why a body of work resonates with you, which doesn’t bother me because that’s a signal that it’s working on a different level, somewhere beyond the verbal.
MATILDE SOLIGNO was born in 1980 in Bologna, Italy. She studied Communication Sciences at the University of Bologna, and she attained a MFA in Stage Photography at the European Institute of Design, Milan.
Maybe it’s this grey Brooklyn morning, but these quiet, moody portraits resonated with me.
I mean I had a statement ( concealed somewhere ) when I was 18 ( like almost anybody ) then another at 25, and so on… — “Dear, I have another statement on life and photography !”
— “Again !”
— “All we have is now !”
— “You said that yesterday, honey !”
I first came across Pierre’s work through Raoul Gatepin’s favorites on Flickr. He doesn’t add too many and for awhile they all seemed to be from Pierre which caught my attention. I was impressed with how he’s continued to make excellent photographs through the years. His work is eclectic, moving from documentary, to street, to the intimate and personal. Enjoy.
