Her American Girl in Italy-the street scene with the whistling Italians-is an icon. Now sensational negatives and slides have surfaced from the archive that reveal a little-known side of Ruth Orkin: that of the sensitive, interested, witty chronicler of the women's world of the 1940s and 1950s. Orkin thought up editorials like the tongue-in-cheek reportage Who works harder? comparing the lives of a career woman and a housewife. She documented ...

In the 1990s, queer youth, outcasts and artists, flocked to San Francisco to find one another and to experiment with art, self-expression, style, and gender. Rent was affordable, paving the way for queer bars, clubs, tattoo shops, galleries, cafes, bookstores, and women-owned businesses to emerge. A new wave of feminism embraced gender bending, and butch/femme culture flourished. The Mission District was the center of this queer cultural renai...

Some of Nick Brandt's subjects are humans, some are animals, but they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The overwhelming sense in the photographer's ongoing global series The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people's homes and...

Porodina's early years were impacted by the brutalist buildings in Moscow and her mother who introduced art to Porodina's mind. Stored in her subconscious, art is what became the extension and expression of "her self", implying that every single one of her photographs is a self-portrait. Art became-and still is-an inevitable, and inseparable, part of her. Porodina's academic upbringing in post-Soviet Russia and her interest in emotional behavi...

Ruth Orkin is a legend of street photography - her atmospheric pictures taken in cities such as Florence, New York and London still shape the image of these metropolises today. But Orkin's specialty not only encompassed the urban but also the personal. This is evident in her unique eye that enabled her street scenes to consistently offer penetrating insights into the time and personality of her subjects. And it likewise shows in her fantastic ...

No question that the Bauhaus was the most influential institution on architecture in the 20th century. But does this aesthetic legacy live on in buildings? In what shape do we encounter it today, after about 100 years, in changing cityscapes? The photographer Jean Molitor has examined this question in depth all around the world. In his new illustrated volume bau2haus, he tracks the architecture that owes something to the Bauhaus and its specia...

Night time has always captivated those who see the world differently. When everything has come to rest, lights go out, phones have gone silent and doors have been locked, the nocturnal quiet is embraced to transcend the beauty of the world to its own. This fascination with the way things appear at night is deeply embedded in Daniel Freeman's photography, and finds its way into Midnight on Main together with strong influences of American popula...

Photography started out as black and white and analog. Today, these are conscious choices a photographer makes, with the camera, eye, and hand forming a unique symbiosis. Aram Dikiciyan's pictures arise from the interplay of the extremely light-sensitive film he chooses to use, the many layers of motifs his finely-tuned eye selects, and a well-practiced process of development. It all works together to create an inimitable cosmos of images. The...

The photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have been inseparable from the fashion and art scene since the 1990s. Very early on they made use of digital processing and distortion. Sometimes a delicate retouch was enough, and sometimes they took it to the apex of gross contortion. Through their strongly expressive manipulations, the couple developed a pictorial vocabulary of their own, and they continued to develop it in their the...

In the meantime, Schulz has been using other types of cameras to provide material for both his own channel and other p...

Why do girls love pink toys, and boys love blue ones? The fine arts photographer JeongMee Yoon (*1969, Seoul) poses this question in her work, The Pink and Blue Project, for which she began photographing Korean and American girls and boys in their bedrooms in 2005. The gender-specific color schemes quickly established themselves as an overarching phenomenon, independent of cultural or ethnic background. Yoon's impressive portraits, for which s...

Einhundert Jahre nach Gründung des Bauhauses, der wohl populärsten und gleichzeitig umstrittensten Kunstschule in Weimar, ist sein Name sowohl Schlagwort als auch Mythos. Ganze Generationen sind mit der sachlich-nüchternen und funktionalen Bauhaus-Architektur konfrontiert und sozialisiert worden. Wegbereiter, Wegbegleiter und Erben der Moderne vereint eine Architektursprache, die mit dem Begriff Bauhaus allgemein verständlich wird. Die Erben ...

Pictures by the fashion and portrait photographer Ralph Mecke are dark, mysterious, and charged with an idiosyncratic energy. Mecke, born in Berlin and living today in New York City, often returns to the German capital for assignments from Liberation or Vogue, where his eye turns familiar places into new domains that open up to the imagination. For instance, he presents Nadja Auermann-the epitome of the Berlin model-in the deserted cellar of B...

Berlin Stories #4 versammelt gleich drei Schwarz-Weiß-Serien, die hier entstanden sind: In Golden West, rund um...
