THE SMOKLE
France, Paris-based photographer Stan Ng - “No matter how hard I tried using a pen to express myself, I failed. I am never a writer type kind of person. When I was little, I struggled to find ways to express myself until I bought my very first camera. To me, photos speak. Photos are a platform that allows me to understand myself and the world better. They give me a chance to see what is deeply hidden in my own soul. They bring me joy; evoke my emotions; and ask questions forcing me to reflect on the world around us.”
THE ARTIST’S STUDIO
The Artistic Nude by Mark Arbeit
Arbeit chose to bring the female nude back to the atelier when he made ‘The Artist’s Studio’ series. In this he combines the atelier and the female nude and studies both intimately. “This natural light draws the human form so well,” he explains. As an assistant to Irving Penn and Helmut Newton in the ’70s, Mark Arbeit learned the most important lesson of his career: “”Light is photography,” he says. “Newton taught me never be afraid to shoot in low light — it could create something unexpected.” From Penn, he learned the art of indirect light. For a photographer obsessed with natural light, the atelier is a sort of holy grail. “The idea is almost 200 years old,” says Arbeit. “It’s a studio designed so a sculptor or painter can work with consistent light.” The sun traveling east to west never changes this indirect light. “Penn gave me the idea to use this space for photography.”
THE SLEEP OF THE BELOVED
German photographer Paul Schneggenburger created this photo series, entitled The Sleep of the Beloved, in which he features the movements and motions of loving couples as they sleep. For each image, the photographer arranges a bed in his studio apartment, creates a backdrop of black sheets, lights some candles, and leaves for the night. [via: mymodernmet]
REFLECTION OF NEW WORLDS BY NYDIA LILIAN
Mexico, Monterrey-based Photographer & Graphic Designer Nydia Lilian (tumblr / facebook) - “Photography for me is an escape from ordinary life; and also my profession. I have a rather vivid imagination and kinda escapist tendencies, so a lot of my work is a reflection of those new worlds & dimensions I imagined in my head.”
‘SELF PORTRAIT’ BY BOO SAVILLE
Artist Boo Saville - “I have always been interested in images and objects with a dual quality, that both frighten and comfort. I am looking for a residual fragment of something, an event or object that could have held spiritual, religious or scientific importance. I am interested in the universality of these objects, There is a beauty and brutality in these photographs which i am hoping to re-examine”, Saville suggests her response is an imitation of nature, yet translated through her own analysis of the subject and its form.

And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass
