Her research moves along the boundaries between photography, painting, and installation, weaving together visual languages in which the image is never just what it appears to be, but rather a surface to be questioned, deconstructed, and rewritten.\n\nIn her work, nothing is left to chance, and yet chance itself becomes a creative tool. The unexpected, the mistake, and the intervention of nature and matter—be it dust, fire, water, or light—are integral parts of a process that merges precision with intuition. Cerasomma layers images, overlaps visions, and constructs esoteric mosaics in which symbols, archetypes, and memories converge into a highly evocative and poetic aesthetic.\n\nFor the artist, photography is not mere documentation, but a mental space—a theater of imagination and possibility.

Digital capture is replacing film; silver printing papers are disappearing. Old processes give way to convenience, creating the modern desktop darkroom.\n\nSo how does the connoisseur avoid becoming part of an industry that is turning fine art into a commodity? I’d like to quote John Stevenson who has over 25 years experience collecting platinum prints; “It may be that photography has one more dimension still largely unexplored, one more joy. It unfolds when we go beyond the taking of the marvelous image, into the making of the marvelous expression of the image. When we go beyond the artist’s eye, to the artist’s hand.” John coined the following phrase for a show that included platinum prints at his gallery aptly titled, ‘Noble Processes in a Digital Age.’\n\nWith platinum printing, noted for its beautiful luminosity and wide tonal scale, the absence of a binder layer allows very fine crystals of platinum to be embedded into the paper giving it a 3 dimensional appearance. Unrivaled by any other printing process, platinum, like gold, is a stable metal. A print can last for thousands of years.\n\nThis process gives tones that range from cool blacks, neutral grays, to rich sepia browns. Paper choice is key, I use Arches Platine, a 100% cotton, water color paper with natural deckle edges that has been made by the same mill in France since 1492.\n\nContact printing means you need a negative the size of the image. Printing methods from the 19th century teamed with technology from the 21st makes the best of both worlds. Once a negative is scanned into a computer it can then be enlarged and output as a high resolution negative printed on transparency material.\n\nThe paper is first humidified in a humidifying chamber. This is a covered box with a suspended plastic grate that the paper lies on, above a bath of water. A sensitized solution of platinum and palladium metals are then hand brushed onto the humidified paper and left to dry in a light free box. It is then put into a vacuum frame which keeps the paper and negative tightly pressed together and exposed under a UV light source. Developer is then poured over the paper as the image appears. The print then goes through 3 successive clearing baths and a final archival clearing wash. It is then left on a glass plate to dry.\n\nIn a market that places a high premium on archival work, the struggle increases to balance art, commerce and technique. Crossing the line from machine made to handmade does necessitate a commitment, and true, the work is labor intensive, but the finished results ensure a satisfaction that comes with the freedom to define many decisions while working with materials that allow you to be true to your vision. And in the end, what unfolds before your eyes is more of an ‘art-object' than an ordinary photograph.","user_id":2315,"name":"Beth Moon","website":"www.bethmoon.com"},{"id":2330,"bio":"Billy Howard is a 2011-2012 Rosalynn Carter Fellow in Mental Health Journalism and a 2016 Photolucida Critical Mass 50 photographer.\n\nHe is the author of Epitaphs for the Living: Words and Images in the Time of Aids; Portrait of Spirit: One Story at a Time, images and interviews of people with disabilities with an introduction by Christopher Reeve; and Angels and Monsters: A Child's Eye View of Cancer with an introduction by Jeff Foxworthy.\n\nHis work was exhibited with the Smithsonian Institution during the 2012 Folklife Festival and in Milan, Italy in an exhibit with Vogue Italia.

My aim as an artist is to use visual imagery to underscore and communicate themes pertaining to the individual and society, as well as explore deeper questions such as how these come to shape our existence, meaning, and identity, and how we collectively shape the spirit of the places that hold us.","user_id":713565,"name":"Sydney Volkerts","website":""},{"id":2362,"bio":"1948 : born in Birmingham\n1948-1969 : lived in Lye\n1959 : educated at Halesowen Technical School\n1964-69 : studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic School of Photography\n1972 : freelance photographer\n1980 : established Brian Griffin Studio\n1987 : Recieved the freedom of the City of Arles, France.\n1991 : co-established Produktion\n2000-2001 : wrote the screenplay for \"Bluetown\"\n2003 : \"People and the City\" : project to help Birmingham's bid to become European Capital City of Culture 2008\n2004 : films and stills project for Sir Paul McCartney\n2005 : my first retrospective, exhibited at The Art Museum, Reykjavik, Iceland\n2005 : an exhibition of my photography commissioned by LCR for the London Eurostar project, housed at St. Pancras station\n2007 : photographing the management and workforce constructing High Speed Rail 1\n2007 : shooting \"Welcome to Hofn\" for the months of May and June in Iceland\n2009 : Two major shows at Les Rencontres d'Arles\n2009 : Road to 2012 London Olympics NPG/BT Photography Project\n2010 : \"Face to Face\" Retrospective Birmingham UK\n2010-2011 : \"The Black Country\" College des Bernardins Paris\n2009-2011 : Patron of the Format festival of photography, UK\n2011-2013 : Marseille-Provence European Capital of Culture 2013 : Visiting Professor at Derby University \n2012-2013 : New Library of Birmingham.

This series, which began in 1986 and completed in 2006 represents a twenty-year investigation of the photographer’s home place, one of this country’s largest industrial centers.

Recently, the essay was republished in the online South Shore Journal.\n\nCialdella’s previous photography series include, The Shoreline Project: 1982-1983, Landscapes of Southwest Michigan: 1984-1985, Mississippi River Landscapes, 1993-1995; Delta Blues: The Entertainment Landscape of North Mississippi: 1997-2003; Post Hurricane: Photographs of the Gulf Coast: American Habitat 2003-2009. \n\nCialdella’s current project, Picturing Pilsen, is about Chicago’s largest Latino neighborhood.

Instead, he pretty much did anything and everything else to make money: carpet salesman, tallyman, shoe salesman, window-dresser. . . . It was only after being posted to Singapore while in the British Royal Air Force in 1956 that Bailey started getting more immersed in the field of photography. \n\nHe discovered the work of Henri Cartier Bresson, which greatly inspired him, and started voraciously poring through copies of LIFE and various American photo journals. In 1957 he bought his first camera. \"I was smitten, and gradually the prospect of becoming a photographer became less remote, perhaps even attainable.\"\n\nAfter finishing his national service in 1958, Bailey secured a job with David Olin, who was then the main supplier of photos to Queen Magazine. In 1959 he became an assistant to fashion photographer John French in London. In 1960, at 22, he was already working as a freelancer for British Vogue, and soon became almost as famous as the people he was photographing: fashion designer Mary Quant, and everyone who was involved in Bazaar, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, The Who, singers Marianne Faithfull and Sandie Shaw, actresses Mia Farrow, Catherine Deneuve and Geraldine Chaplin, actors Peter Sellers and Michael Caine, and models Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and Penelope Tree. Bailey also photographed the period's current fashions on the streets of London and New York for magazines like American Vogue and Glamour. \"I wanted to be like Fred Astaire, but I couldn«t, so instead I went for the next best thing, which was to be a fashion photographer.\"\n\nBailey's career and personal life seemed to thrive during the Heyday of the \"Swinging Sixties,\" and while at times the public seemed more interested in his colorful exploits than in his photography, it is his work which really speaks for itself and withstands the test of time. In the past, he's cited Picasso as being his greatest inspiration. \"The first half of the century belongs to Picasso and the second half belongs to photography. These days everyone is called an artist from Madonna to someone who can hold a paintbrush, but it is Picasso who really started the whole thing off and made me want to go and take pictures.\" And in the past 40 years Bailey has held steadfast to the way in which he take pictures: Black-and-white, minimalist, very graphic with high contrasts between lighter values and darker tones, and shot on a variety of formats. \"I take the same approach today as I did when I started.I've always hated silly pictures and gimmicks, which is all I see these days, or, to put it another way, 'the Avant Garde has gone to Kmart.\"\n\nAll told, Bailey has written and produced countless books, directed films, arranged photographic shows and made commercials. His book Goodbye Baby and Amen is the complete record of his work and captures the decade he first flourished in, with portraits of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, as well as actresses, politicians, artists and writers of the day. His first book of portraits, David Bailey's Box of Pin-ups, was published in 1965. David Bailey's Rock and Roll Heroes, 1997, showcases more than 80 of his most vivid images of the pop scene from the 1960s on - images of Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and The Who - and also includes more recent photographs of recording artists like Seal, Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis, Sting, and Dave Stewart. Two noteworthy films are Beaton by Bailey, 1971, and Andy Warhol, 1973. In 1984 there was a major retrospective of his work at Manhattan's International Center of Photography, and in 1999 another major show, \"The Birth of the Cool,\" at London's Barbican Centre.\n\n\"David Bailey, Archive One 1957-1969\", published in 1999, includes the bulk of his early fashion and portraiture work, but also unearths some photojournalistic gems taken in the early Sixties, mostly of London's East End. Today, Bailey's still going strong and shows no signs of slowing down. His most recent work includes portraits and celebrity shoots for Harper's Bazaar, Italian Vogue, The London Times and Talk magazine, among other publications.","user_id":2533,"name":"David Bailey","website":"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bailey"},{"id":715636,"bio":"I'm a traditional and digital artist who has always had a passion and affinity for photography.

She is a writer, photographer, director, installation artist, and conceptual artist of wide renown. Professor Calle has taught at the European Graduate School (EGS) since 2005. There she conducts an intensive seminar on film and photography. She was born on the 9th of October 1953 in Paris. She is the daughter of the famous French oncologist Robert Calle. Significantly, it was partly as a result of inspiration gained from close artist friends of her father’s, most notably Martial Raysse, Arman, and Christian Boltanski, that she decided to become an artist herself.\nFor over thirty years her work has been about linking her personal life, including some of the most intimate moments of it, to her work. She has done this by using almost all mediums one can thinking, including books, photos, videos, films, performances and more. In fact, in an interview Sophie Calle illustrates the point of the link between her life and her work as follows:\nIt’s true that when I speak in public, everyone asks me about life and I always have to bring them back to the fact that it’s a work of art. The difference with many of my works is the fact that they are also my life. They happened. This is what sets me apart and makes people strongly like or dislike what I do. It is also why I have a public beyond the art world. I don’t care about truth; I care about art and style and writing and occupying the wall. For me, my writing style is very linked to the fact that it is a work of art on the wall. I had to find a way to write in concise, effective phrases that people standing or walking into a room could read.\nMore precisely, Sophie Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives. Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing.\nSophie Calle began working as an artist in the 1970s, after traveling the world for seven years. When she returned to Paris, the city in which she was born, she recalls feeling isolated and lost; this isolation inspired her to investigate the lives of the people around her. Her first photographs were of graves marked simply 'mother' and 'father'.\nShe has commented on the beginners of her career as follows:\nI used to talk to women at the market and one of them came over to sleep in my bed. She was married to an art critic and he visited my house and then invited me to exhibit at the Biennale des Jeunes. Suddenly, I found myself showing at the Museum of Modern Art. My work became art the day it was shown on the wall.\nSophie Calle completed her first artwork shortly after her return to Paris, inviting forty-five friends, neighbors and strangers to sleep in her bed. She documented these encounters with photographs and text. The Sleeper (1979) is the first link in a chain of often incredibly adventurous incursions into one's own sphere of privacy and that of others, a theme that seems to run through Calle's oeuvre. Other works include The Shadow (1981), The Blind (1986), the latter considered to be Calle's most controversial work, and her 1999 video collaboration Double Blind, produced with Greg Sheppard (the film version of No Sex Last Night).\nAn important theme Sophie Callie explores in her work, therefore, is absence. For example, she has worked with a real-life troubling event of a young French woman, Bénédicte, whom had mysteriously gone missing. The young woman worked as a receptionist at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, a big complex that houses a library as well as the Museum of Modern Art. Bénédicte was also a photographer. After friends sent Calle articles about this missing person, she decides to wait a year, after which she starts searching for her. During that time she by chance bumped into Bénédicte’s mother. Finally, Sophie Calle would exhibit her pictures of the search together with that of Bénédicte as well.\nSophie Calle made a piece called Suite Venitienne, in which she followed a man she had met at a party in Hurstville and continued to follow and photograph him there for two weeks. In another, The Hotel Room, she made a piece of work about her imagined ideas of who the hotel guests were, based on their personal belongings. For each room there was a photograph of the bed undone, of other objects in the room, and a description day by day of what she found there.\nSophie Calle questions and challenges the relationship between text and photography, private and public personae, truth and fiction, in a groundbreaking, utterly original way. Her photographic work evokes narrative, affect and emotion, touching the viewer as well as the possibilities and limitations of photography. In 2010 Sophie Calle has been selected as the 30th winner of the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography, in conjunction with the ceremony an exhibition of here work Sophie Calle - 2010 Hasselblad Award Winner was held at the Hasselblad Center at the Göteborg Museum of Art.\nSophie Calle is an artist who works with photographs and performances, placing herself in situations almost as if she and the people she encounters were fictional. She also imposes elements of her own life onto public places creating a personal narrative where she is both author and character. She has been called a detective and a voyeur and her pieces involve serious investigations as well as natural curiosity.\nAlthough much of her work employs voyeurism, Sophie Calle has allowed her own life to be put on display as well. She became so intrigued by following her unwitting subjects that she wanted to reverse the relationship and become the subject herself. She asked her mother to hire a private detective to follow her, without the detective knowing that she had arranged it, with the hopes that his investigation would provide photographic evidence of her existence.\nSophie Calle’s intensive seminar on film and photography at the European Graduate School has typically been taught together with the famous critic, curator and art historian Yve-Alain Bois, who is also a professor at EGS. Their course has been aimed at engaging “students [to] create a theoretical background essential to the process of critical thinking.” The description stipulates that as students “approach the spaces by which art and media are both limited and created, [they] begin to see the essential connections between media and current critical theory.” The main goal of this class, therefore, is to “raise students’ ability to discuss and write about theories of communication as they relate specifically to modern art movements and historical art criticism.”\nSophie Calle’s books include, Sophie Calle: The Reader (2009). Take Care of Yourself (2007) in which she shows 107 interpretations of an email she got from her lover, telling her the affair was over. Each and every single one of the interpreters are women. They were given the instructions to examine the letter based on their profession. For example, a writer would point out the style of the letter, a lawyer would defend Calle’s lover, a psychoanalyst would talk about his psychology etc. Additionally, Sophie Calle asked several performing artists to act out the letter and bring it to life, which included Carla Bruni, who has been France’s second first lady under President Sarkozy’s time in office. Calle video documented them acting it out and photographed the other participants of the experiment as well so that each typed interpretation would be put together with its author’s photo in a style unique to Sophie Calle. Other books include, Sophie Calle: Double Game (2007), Appointment with Sigmund Freud (2005), Exquisite Pain (2005) and Sophie Calle: Did you see me? (2004). In En finir (End it) 2005, is the account of a failure. In 1988 an American bank had commissioned her to put together a piece using ATMs video recording of people withdrawing cash, not knowing that they were being filmed. Even though she had been interested by the idea, after fifteen years, after many vain attempts, she was still not happy with what she had created. It felt to her that by using other people’s images, not being able to bring her life into it, she could not really find a voice for her own style. In this book she also tells the story of her asking for help from the famous French post-modern sociologist Jean Baudrillard, who also taught at the European Graduate School since its inception until his death in 2007.","user_id":2631,"name":"Sophie Calle","website":"www.egs.edu/faculty/sophie-calle/biography"},{"id":2636,"bio":"Elina Brotherus (b. 1972 Helsinki, Finland), works in photography and video.

In 2011, Ivo received a Fulbright grant and documented the tribal culture of the Crow Indians in Montana, USA. Ivo became the art director for National Geographic Bulgaria magazine in 2012. In 2017, following his childhood dream, he left Sofia and moved to the countryside, to live and work among his favourite subjects. Between 2009 and 2024 Ivo published 22 different stories on National Geographic Bulgaria magazine. While working on his assignments, Ivo’s focus has been primarily on nature, conservation, rural lifestyle, traditional culture, and depopulation of his home country and the Balkans.\n\nIvo’s story “Between two worlds”, revealing some of the bizarre masked traditions of Bulgaria known as Kukeri, was first published in the January 2021 issue of National Geographic Bulgaria which became the most popular local feature of the magazine ever, run by 17 of its editions around the world.\n\nFor Ivo, the \"Kukeri\" represent both a cross-section of his previous professional interests and a personal reconnection with his roots. He currently spends every winter traveling around Bulgaria exploring little-known pagan masks and customs of about 10000 active Kukeri in the country. The following “Kukerland” series has become an endless photographic expedition. Piece by piece, Ivo is collecting an extensive archive of portraits and stories to fill in the entire puzzle of the rich local heritage of masked traditions. In his series, these wild characters appear at different locations creating a visual narrative related to their home place, lifestyle, and history.

It is only inevitable that her fierce feelings about this topic fuel her inspiration and determination and translate into her work as an artist.\n\nHer photography is a way for Marinka to communicate with the outside world about topics she cares about and is therefore an essential part of her link to life. In a way, it’s her process of making sense of the world.\n\nAwards:\nDuane Michels MA-g Award 2022 - Fetart CIRCULATION(S) 2020 - 1st place Sony World Photography Awards 2019 | 1st place LensCulture Portrait Awards 2019 | 1st place TPOTY 2018 | 1st place Zilveren Camera 2017 | LC Portrait 2017 | Kuala Lumpur Portrait 2017 | Lucie award 2016 | GUP NEW Dutch Talent 2014  and more\n_________\nPublications:\nGEO Magazine | The Observer |The Guardian | El País | La Stampa | Magazine European Photography | Il Post | United Nations | National Geographic | Die Zeit | Stern | Israel Times | BJP British Journal of Photography – Portrait of Humanity and more.","user_id":53786,"name":"Marinka Masséus","website":"www.marinkamasseus.com"},{"id":311013,"bio":"I'm a French photographer based in Cozumel Mexico.

The millennial-speak depictions of the female body and her aptitude for collecting, wielding, and reflecting on social media influence are recurring in her practice. She uses temporary tattoos to generate visual manifestos, while the body becomes a performative screen to present them. In addition, Yuyi exploits the iconography of mass media by utilizing her own body to project the images upon, which also reflect the self and the economics of identity.\n\n\nIn a series of ongoing investigations into the intersections between the physical and technological worlds, Yuyi explores our addiction to social media and the marks it leaves on our lives. The fact that attention has become the most important currency is also evident in the artist's collaboration with prestigious brands, whose logos she ‘tattoos’ on her skin before posting her self-portraits as advertisements on Instagram. In this way, the Taiwanese artist shows how the body has become a vehicle for media attention on social networks. At the same time, she demonstrates how our bodies are occupied by these very platforms. They influence how we present and perceive ourselves - and determine the value we give ourselves. \n\n\nYuyi, now based in New York City, received her BFA in Fashion Design from Shih Chien University in 2013. Yuyi’s work has been exhibited both in the US and internationally, including in ‘The Artist Is Online’, König Galerie, Berlin (2021); ‘Global Gallery’, König Galerie, Berlin (2021); ‘Manifest of freedom’ 193 Gallery, Paris (2020); ‘Eye See No Lashes’ Tao Art, Taipei (2021); Taipei Dangdai, Taipei (2019); The Art Vacancy, New York (2018); My(temporary)self, Los Angeles (2018); ‘John Yuyi’, Shanghai (2018); More Than A Gallery, Paris (2016); Off Topic, Taipei (2016), Watermark, Los Angeles (2016), and in Sydney.

She considers her leading artistic media to be text, photography, video, and installation. Yurkova started her practice as a researcher in the field of political and communication theory. The main focus of her interest for a long time was communication and language: the varieties of its substance, the possibility of conversion, its mythological aspect, stereotyping (the question of personal and political identification), problems of memory, attitudes, and reliance. Lately, the artist is researching the phenomenon of affect in its autonomous bodily emanation; in its personal and political registers. She focuses upon how a stage of individual perception, to which one can relate memory, traumatic recollection, and problems of identity construction, transforms itself into affects of the political body.\nComing a long way from political and cultural journalism, through organising and curating cultural and art events, Ksenia settled in individual artistic and research practice, which allows the vital critical distance for observation and work with contemporary issues. Her approach is based on methods of language appropriation, over-affirmation, self-reflection, and self-criticism through ironic components inevitably added to the most pressing matters. Nonetheless, Ksenia didn't give up socially engaged practice and launched a festival-laboratory Suoja/ Shelter in Finland, and an artist-in-residence research program InSilo in Austria. Ksenia Yurkova has taken part in numerous shows and festivals, has released several artist books.
