I get the feeling Micaela McLucas is a party girl, traveling around the beaches and various parties of the world, taking photos and selfies as she goes. Her photos are interesting to me, richly saturated renditions of a seemingly artificial, druggy, glamorous world. Micaela is an LA…

Adrian Samson is a Slovakian-born photographer, now living and working in North-East London. With an impressive list of commercial clients such as Xbox, Microsoft, and T-mobile, it’s not surprising that Adrian’s personal work resembles eerily manicured stock photography. Adrian  first learned about photography from his father at the age…

James H Bollen is a photographer living and working in China. His photos look like they were taken in a far-gone past, or in a strange future, I haven’t decided which.  James has a certain timelessness about him, maybe because his collaborators include long-gone legendary novelists like…

I met Brian Salatino in LA a few years ago with some friends. He took us to a fancy gated community where he worked as a gardener. We got stoned and swam in the pool while he worked. Brian has spent the last 7 years…

Shinji Otani is part of a new breed of Japanese photographers who are breaking from the styles typically associated with “Japanese photography.” We discovered his work through ‘New Japanese Photography,’ an exhibition held this past January in London. However Otani is no stranger to international recognition,…

Ada Hamza is a photographer and designer from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her work is intuitive and spontaneous – glimpses from her everyday world. Each photo is rich in color and emotional aesthetic. Favoring subjects like the sky and flowers, Ada’s images are distinctly natural, which is…

Pat O’Rourke is a photographer from Toronto. When he’s not skateboarding or running around town with his friends, Pat is capturing odd scenes from the everyday landscape.  Pat began shooting on a disposable camera when he was 10 years old, and has since mastered the on-the-go…

Sophia Larigakis is an upcoming Montreal photographer and student. She also seems to travel a lot, as discovered through the unfamiliar scenes in her work. With an interest in experimental and New Wave film, Sophia’s images feel cinematic, sci-fi even, but retain a soft femininity.…

Christian DeFonte submitted his snapshots to us over the holidays. Originally from San Jose and now working in NYC, Christian’s photos document his trips back home. His work is borderline vernacular – candid family shots – namely of his baby sister, cousin and grandmother, and…

Nathan Cyprys is a photographer working in Toronto. The editor at Vice Canada put me on to Nathan’s work when we were curating the Vice photo show ‘Kind of Wild and Sort of Free.’ His photos from a recent trip to Barbados and Eleuthera Island fit…

Jan Adriaans is a Dutch photographer and video-artist whose work explores the relationship between psyche, body, and space. I happened upon his photos last spring and immediately wanted him for our cover. We ran his eerie interior shot of Lange Voorhout Palace on the front of issue 10.…

I immediately recognized Kuba’s pix when I found them in my inbox last week. Even the ones I’d never seen before felt recognizable, like photographs from an old National Geographic. There is something iconic about his work, shot all over the world – from Iceland to South…

Garrett Lockhart is a photographer from Nanaimo, BC, who lives and works out East now. He sent us some new work as a Thanksgiving present –  a pink sunset, a blue umbrella, nice things to look at. I’m really into his car series, which is…
