Federica Fusco, partner, owner, and marketing manager of FGF Industry, reflects on the collaboration, stating, "Working with a master like Bruce Weber has been an extraordinary experience. Despite his icon status in photography, he has shown remarkable insight in grasping the essence of our brand and our vision. We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to possibly continuing this partnership in the next season."

Recently, I used Apple Photos to revisit the photos I took during the 2015 Thanksgiving holiday. There were some gems in there-memories I'd like to preserve forever. But there were even more images I regretted saving in the first place. You already know the ones I'm talking about. The near-duplicates of other, better photos. The blurry misfires. The shots of people with their eyelids drooping or mouths agape. The ones I accidentally took of the floor when my thumb slipped.

A visual dialogue with the folklore of the Czech countryside by photographer Martijn Schmidt. Based in the Netherlands, Schmidt attended the University of Arts, Utrecht, where he specialized in documentary photography. His work is rooted in an engagement with the other, which often leads to a deeper understanding of his own identity. Through portraits, landscapes, and still lifes he explores how human practices, traditions, and beliefs are shaped.

In Hervé Guibert's book Ghost Image, he writes about preparing to take a portrait of his mother. It's so vivid in its description. Even though the book has no images, I can envision the photograph so clearly. He goes to great lengths to ensure the image is perfect, that his mother looks a certain way. At the end of the essay, we learn that the film was blank - there is no photograph.

The 2025 Close-Up Photographer of the Year (CUPOTY 7) shortlist has been unveiled, showcasing a mesmerizing world often overlooked. With over 12,000 entries judged across 11 categories, the final selection reveals stunning microcosms - from jewel-like insects to glowing fungi and surreal underwater scenes. Each image is a testament to the power of patience, precision, and the art of seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Zeng was born in China and began studying Visual Communication at Shanghai Normal University in 2015. After working as a freelance artist and designer, Zeng moved to Germany to study at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. His artistic interest lies in the boundaries between documentary and fiction, and the self-referential nature of memory. "the internal crusade" is a reflection of Zeng's upbringing and education.

In its nearly two-hundred-year history, photography has continuously reinvented itself while being grounded in two earlier discoveries: first, the image projection of the camera obscura; and second, the observation that certain substances are altered by exposure to light. But it's important to remember that photography has never been fully sui generis. Artists working with the photographic medium have often come from other fields: from science, such as William Henry Fox Talbot; from the theater, if you think of Louis Daguerre and his invention of the diorama;

Malin, who initially became friendly with Gruen in the 90s when he was in the band D Generation, got to know him well over the years. He became family to me, says Malin. Came out on tours, went to Europe with us, just so many nights, and, you know, his stories and his life are equally as wonderful, even more so maybe sometimes than his photos. And his photos are unbelievable. He's one of the best! And he was just so loved.

The most beautiful places in the UK range from Scottish mountain peaks to swathes of powdery sand along England's south east coast via Welsh valleys and the various National Parks between. Then there's Ireland, with its rugged coastline and verdant landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see in every direction. Eager amblers and photographers know such corners particularly well, setting off on foot come rain or shine to experience the beauty on our doorsteps we all too often take for granted.

Costume is a small boutique in Dublin's city centre, usually fronted with elegant window displays of beautifully dressed mannequins. Last October, however, Marguerite O'Molloy was passing on her way for a manicure and found something startlingly different. The shop is on Castle Market, a pedestrian shopping area, O'Molloy says. It's a really lively, cool area and a regular haunt of mine; I actually met my husband in the famous Grogan's Castle Lounge pub on the opposite corner.

Durst's second book, " The Four Pillars," was made largely during the COVID pandemic. Its ambiguously staged scenes, many involving a New Age self-help group that Durst had been following since the church-basement days, leaned into the strained artificiality of the period. Taking the pictures in "The Children's Melody" felt like "a return to the world," in all its baffling complexity, Durst told me.

The Nikon 2025 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have unveiled their finalists, and the results are hilariously delightful. With 40 uproarious images, 3 curated portfolios, and 10 laugh-out-loud videos, this year's entries showcase nature's unexpected comedic flair. From expressive lions to penguins mid-blunder, the contest celebrates the quirky charm of animals while highlighting the skill and timing of wildlife photographers. Beyond the laughs, the awards carry a meaningful message about conservation and the importance of protecting these fascinating creatures.

In an era when contemporary culture tends to privilege immediacy, the archive offers resistance by inviting slowness, friction, and a longer view. In this three-part series, Document turns to curators Ruba Katrib, Jovanna Venegas, and Drew Sawyer, photographed on location, wearing Vowels, the brand that finds its own voice through archival research. Each of these curators places the archive at the center of their practice.

Cartier-Bresson once famously said that his Leica "became the extension of [his] eye, prowling the streets all day, feeling very strung up and ready to pounce, determined to 'trap life'-to preserve life in the act of living." That's a little harder to accomplish with Leica's new camera. Today, Leica is launching the M EV1. It's the first M camera with a digital viewfinder, meaning the M's most distinct asset-its beautiful optical viewfinder-is no more.

The Freewell Real Multi Tripod 5-in-1 is a versatile, multi-function support system that's clearly aimed at photographers and content creators who want one piece of gear to do many jobs.

In 2001, artist Kip Fulbeck began traveling the country photographing multiracial people of all ages and walks of life. They were photographed from the chest up, with no clothes, jewelry, hats or makeup on. And they were asked to write their answer to one big question: "What are you?" After photographing more than 1,200 people, the project culminated in the landmark book and exhibition Kip Fulbeck: Part Asian, 100% Hapa which toured throughout the U.S.

The massive 61-megapixel full-frame sensor in the A7R V is the largest sensor you can get without jumping into medium format (which is significantly more expensive and bulkier). If that's not enough, there's actually an even higher resolution possibility that combines 16-shots into a single 240-MP image (so long as your subject is static, e.g., a landscape). That should print billboard-size without issue.

Coreen Simpson carved her own path to success she never waited for anyone to hand her an opportunity. In her 1978 portrait of Toni Morrison, the author gazes directly into the camera with a striking expression that holds the viewer's eyes fixed on hers. A shadow fills the space between Morrison and the world, compelling the audience to reckon with her presence.

Gordon Matta-Clark is best known for his "cuttings" of abandoned and derelict structures in 1970s New York, which made open-air sculptures out of symbols of decay and were seen as an early exercise in deconstructivism. Besides slicing up piers and houses, he also founded an experimental gallery at 112 Greene Street in Soho and Food, the legendary artist-run restaurant that he co-created with Carol Goodden and Tina Girouard, which, like the building cuts, blurred the boundary between art-making and life.

As a dreamer, I use my camera as a paintbrush, seeking to capture the fleeting atmospheres that drift through my mind and inhabit my dreams.

A few weeks ago, in an interview with Associated Press journalist Liam McEwan, Ringo Starr said he got into digital painting in the 1990s using the program Kid Pix. "The big thing about that," Ringo remembered, "was it had the bucket, and you pressed that and...whoosh...it's all blue." "So hilarious," McEwan responded, "My brother and I used to slam that all the time. It was a great creative outlet." At one point in the conversation, the ex-Beatle looked directly into the camera and implored listeners who had access to the older version of Kid Pix, to send it in.

Created by Valère Zen Ruffinen at ECAL, Memoria is an experimental photo album application that visualizes the fading of human connections: as the frequency of shared moments decreases, the people in the photo album gradually disappear. Memoria explores the fragility of memory, and how we maintain - or allow to fade - our connections through it. Through a process of gradual disappearance, the people in the photos slowly fade if no new memories shared with them are added.

From the runways to the red carpets and the afters, fashion week provides us with a deluge of images capturing otherworldly glamour. Even backstage shots, while less polished, still possess a kind of mystery and allure; the rails of clothes, the make-up and hair, the hurried costume changes, the frenetic pace. No Shows, a new photo book by Nick Offord, offers us an alternative perspective of fashion week, no less compelling but much more still and languid.

Tyler Mitchell's first solo exhibition in France reflects on a decade of practice by an artist who has introduced new visual narratives of Black life, centring beauty, intimacy and empowerment as everyday realities. Tracing nearly a decade of creation, it shows how Mitchell, one of the most striking voices of his generation, explores themes of utopia, memory and intimacy through representations of Black life.

Nothing sparks the imagination quite like coming across a trove of old photographs. We look for writing on the reverse and scan the anonymous faces to read a range of expressions. Where exactly they were at that moment, what brought them together that day, and who took the picture? For Stan Squirewell, the allure of historical portraits is a central tenet of his multimedia practice.

Very difficult. Because the first thing Gilane [Tawadros, the director of Whitechapel Gallery] asked me was, "Do you have an archive?" And I'm like, "What is this? Archive? It's in drawers! Loads and loads of it! None of it is documented..." So I got a proper archivist to come in and document everything. The show contains about 40 years of work, even stuff from when I was at college.

On Sunday (12 October), Jefferson Hack hosted a special dinner to celebrate the opening of new exhibition Paradigm Shift: New Dimensions in Moving Image, presented by 180 Studios in partnership with Ray-Ban Meta. Kicking off Frieze week, the dinner took place at 180 Strand, and welcomed featured artists from the exhibition, including Gillian Wearing, Mark Leckey, Julianknxx, Josefa Ntjam, Arthur Jafa, Sophia Al Maria and Babak Radboy.

Daguerreotypes are cherished for their eerie clarity, like this one from the 1840s. Unfortunately, achieving such detail required agonizingly long exposure times, from 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on lighting. This required subjects to sit motionless for long periods of time, and various props were employed to keep sitters still and avoid motion blur Photograph: The Brooklyn Museum Brainerd's spy camera', a box-form

Beneath ominous skies and set within flat, green parkland, Lee Madgwick's folly-like buildings strike an unsettling note. His surreal paintings feature dilapidated facades and uncanny shrubbery against cloudy, deep gray skies-usually with something just a little strange going on. In "Drift," for example, bricks dislodge from the top of a boxy structure and float into the sky one by one, and "Fracture" defies gravity altogether with a hovering apartment tower that crumbles from below.
