Andreas Gefeller is a German photographer well known for his series Supervisions, which pushes the boundaries of photography by elevating the view point off the ground. I have been extremely interested in Andreas’ work for a long time, and I recently had the chance to talk to him about it.

Thomas Ruff is one of the most well-known and influential German photographers alive, pupil of the Bechers and then teacher at the art academy in Düsseldorf. I have always been extremely impressed by his willingness to extend the boundaries of photography to see where things might be going. Late last year, I met him at the opening of his last show at Zwirner gallery, and of course I had to ask him whether he would be available for an interview. Much to my delight he was. (NB: For those working in an office environment, one of the images below is definitely not safe for work)

Throughout his career as a photographer, Robert Lyons has covered a wide variety of subject matters, and he has been teaching photography in Berlin for a while.

Given his background and his exposure to both the US and the German photography scene, of course I had to ask him whether he’d be up for a conversation for the blog, and I’m very glad he agreed to it.

Stephen Shore’s Uncommon Places is one of my all-time favourite photography books, and I don’t think it’s an easy task to grasp contemporary photography without having seen those photo. Given his background as one of the driving forces behind the colour revolution of the 1970s and as an educator, I asked Stephen whether he would be willing to have a conversation about what is shaping contemporary photography now, and I was very happy when he agreed to do so (don’t miss the extra treat at the very end of the conversation!).
