Erick Derac deserves a lot of credit for the immensely creative setup of his photos. There’s an alternative page with a few samples here. I could only find French pages - if you don’t speak French just let the photos speak for themselves.

Usually, I find it fairly easy to find a representative sample of a photographer’s work. In Adri Berger’s case, it was quite different. His portfolio consists of many different projects, most of them done in different ways. In fact all of his projects are very nice - I even liked the fashion shots!

It is quite amazing to see how when you look at each of Charles Fréger’s portraits more closely you can see how you are looking at individuals - uniforms notwithstanding. And there are lots of portraits to look at.

“I made Wedding Portraits (1997) when I got married, Divorce Portrait (1998) when I got divorced, and I hate sex (1998) when I felt that way. So I wasn’t showing various women’s roles, but living my life and trying to capture something genuine and real about it in the pictures.” - Elina Brotherus

This morning, my wife and I were talking about New Yorker magazine (NYM) which has a portrait shot by Richard Avedon in almost each issue. Even though I am a fan of Avedon’s work his latest NYM portraits have consistently disappointed me. I told my wife NYM should really be a bit more imaginative - doesn’t this all tie in with a glaring lack of general imagination that is becoming more and more obvious? - and hire other portrait photographers, especially emerging talents. And then I stumbled upon Koos Breukel’s work - photos that are on par with Avedon’s.

2lazy4, Parisians Camille and François, are maybe trying a little bit too hard to be hip but, nevertheless, their site is very nice. They got some very cool “toy camera” photography in their galleries. I wish in their Sunburst series they had taken care of the light leaks. It’s almost as if people think you need a certain kind of toy-camera credibility so you don’t fix those light leaks and if you do you’re not cool. I think it’s this sort of attitude that makes me not identify myself as a toy-camera photographer even though in fact I am using lots of “toy” cameras. (thru gmtPlus9)

“For several years now Edith Roux (France) has been photographing the increasing uniformity of the periphery of large cities in the European Union. Everywhere the same business estates, similar office complexes and uniform shopping malls are rising, invariably bordered by the same undeveloped terrain. In order to emphasize the uniformity of her subjects, Roux always selects the same camera angle and with the aid of a computer she colours all the skies in her photographs an identical blue.” (more examples of “Euroland” here; samples of another series called “Underscape” here)

Serge Picard “explores in various technical approaches the possibilities and limits of photogaphy, its production, its time, its decomposition, its space, its eternisation of faces. Going from portrait to landscape, from nude to studies of materials, from colour to black and white, from Fresson printing to Polaroid negative, he treats his objects with deepness without ceasing to want to know better what is the photography in itself.”

If you’ve been here before you know that my completely subjective selection of photographers always includes creators of somber semi-abstract b/w photos. Pavel Banka is an obvious example. I have to admit, though, that even for me that’s maybe a tad too somber.
