“Stokey on Lockdown” by Alex Amorós

May 26, 2020 By Ash Riffo

Alex Amorós is at it again, this time with a beautiful project called "Stokey on Lockdown". Here's how he describes the project: " "'Stokey on Lockdown' is a photo project carried out on the streets of Stoke Newington, shot on my daily walks during the lockdown. The collection tells a story of what has happened during the global pandemic; with local businesses shutting shop and our key workers continuing to work hard for others. I wanted to show how the community has become less individualised

In or Out: A New Project by Alex Amorós

April 7, 2020 By Ash Riffo

Alex Amorós is at it again, this time with a new documentary project on "the two sides of the coin, the two sides of the ribbon, the two existing sides dividing the United Kingdom. It is a project carried out at the gates of the British Parliament." You've probably heard about Brexit in the news, but what I liked about Alex's new project is that it offers a close-up view of how people in the UK are actually feeling about the issue - something I hadn't really grasped by just watching the news

Surreal Analogies: A Project by Cristóbal Carretero Cassinello

March 17, 2020 By Ash Riffo

If the name Cristóbal Carretero Cassinello sounds familiar to you, you may recall that last year, he was the featured photographer in our March issue. Even then, something we loved about Cristóbal's work was his minimalist, often abstract style. Well, he's done it again, this time with a project that will leave your debating a chicken or egg kind of conundrum and asking, what did Cristóbal see first? The painting or the image? It's called Surreal Analogies and the project is all about

Totally Stoked About a Rad Project from the 80s

July 23, 2019 By Ash Riffo

Are you a fan of Stranger Things? Then you are going to love this. Do you hate Stranger Things but love all things 80s? Then you are going to love this. Do you hate Stranger Things and the 80s, but find the era worth laughing about? Then you are going to love this. Actually, I stumbled across this project in my news feed by chance and couldn't believe no reference to the official "Street Photography Genre" was made.

Cosmos by Cristóbal Carretero

January 29, 2019 By Ash Riffo

A few months ago, in an interview with Nancy Lehrer, we talked about the fact that as street photography (specifically in Cuba) becomes more widely practiced and shown, in order to take images that stand out, it becomes necessary to dig deep into the culture and get under the skin of a place. That's definitely one way to create a solid set of images, but as they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat (ew). In his project "Cosmos," Cristóbal Carretero takes another approach, which is to
