It’s too bad that Céline Clanet’s website is only in French - but if you don’t understand French, you can still enjoy the photography.

There’s way too much Photoshop for me in most of Joachim Lapotre’s photos, but the still lifes at the bottom of page 1 I actually like a lot (the pages load very slowly).

“The end of the 20th century showed us a growing discussion on the problematics of female body as material for images. In my project [About Girls] I wanted to show girls - repeat girls - not as objects and something desirable, but imperfect and satisfied with themselves at the same time.” - Wilma Hurskainen

“Between 2000 and 2006 I together with writer Cia Rinne undertook travels in seven different countries with a view to gaining an insight into the life of the Roma and the conditions they face. We always tried to spend a considerable length of time among the people whom we wanted to learn about and, if possible, to live with them for a while.” - Joakim Eskildsen

Found at Mrs. Deane: The excellent work of Cédric Delsaux. His being an advertizing photographer does show, but he manages to stay clear of making his personal work look like an ad.

Olivier Roller’s website changed a bit since I linked to it back in 2003. Many of the portraits are very nice; unfortunately, the website is set up a bit weirdly (some of the thumbnails cannot be viewed larger, others can; and some images have terrible jpg compression artifacts).

This through The Sonic Blog: Gregor Graf is a multimedia artist, whose project “Hidden Town” shows two cities, with all signs (traffic signs, ads, etc.) removed. The results are quite interesting.

Colin Pantall’s “Sofa Portraits” show his young daughter watching TV. In his own words “Sofa Portraits show the mental and physical escapism of childhood, the moments when Isabel’s gaze latches onto her imaginary world and her body sprawls over the sofa.”

Signe Vad’s portfolio contains a diverse set of projects, each of which contains some interesting work - so if you don’t like one make sure to look at the others (there’s some information on each project under “info”).

I have wanted to link to Walter Niedermayr (see more of his work here and here) ever since I came across his book “Reservate Des Augenblicks” in a second-hand bookstore, which the owner refused to sell to me (the book, not the store) because it was his own copy (and out of print). I then googled Walter Niedermayr unsuccessfully for a few months because I kept misspelling his name (things got quite frustrating because I used to come across the occasional link where someone else had also made the same mistake…). In any case, apart from vast panoramas of snowy landscapes - often diptychs or larger assemblies of images - he has also worked on architectural interiors (see some examples here), and his newest book is a collaboration with a couple of Japanese architects, which I saw at the most recent AIPAD show (where the gallery refused to sell that book to me, pointing out I could probably order it in Germany).

People with entirely too many bad tattoos, monster trucks, racing cars, cowboy hats, bad clothes, shooting ranges, unbelievably tacky eagles (spray-paint style), events that involve minimum amounts of clothes and personal dignity. That sounds just like… Switzerland (what did you think?), all that documented by Yann Gross, whose personal portfolio is filled with photo treasures.

I found Aitor Ortiz’ work through Mrs. Deane’s blog, and will have to agree with her regarding the setup and use of “Flash”. I’m not sure what fraction of his work I was able to look at (the navigation is somewhat arcane, the tiny grey fonts on the dark grey background certainly don’t help, and in addition everything is too slow for me - it’s almost like whoever programmed the site really doesn’t want people to find their way through easily); what I did manage to see I found quite interesting.

Annet van der Voort’s portfolio contains a series of quite interesting projects. If you want to read a review of Metamorphoses, whose author is a bit more excited about it than I am, click here. I personally find A Lifetime or Oh my baby quite a bit more interesting.

I really like Paul Plews’s photography. I just wish the images were a bit bigger, looking at this website is almost like looking at someone’s stamp collection.

While it seems that a large fraction of Wout Berger’s work is impossible to find online, I am glad I managed to track down a few pages about his project Ruigoord. More images (and some French text) here.

I think someone alerted me to Jean-Christian Bourcart’s collateral a little while ago. I’m quite torn about the project, because ultimately, I think, it only shows the artist’s desperation about people’s indifference concerning the suffering of others - but then maybe this is why we need art like this. - Also don’t miss traffic.

Carla van de Puttelaar creates very interesting nudes and portraits. Her models have normal bodies - something we hardly see any more in a world obsessed with breast implants and anorexic models - and the light often is not flattering. However, the final results show an astonishing and somewhat surprising beauty. Especially note the use and types of colour. You can find an insightful interview with Carla van de Puttelaar here.
