Street Photography by Severin Koller

Street Photography by Severin Koller

When I started photography about two years ago I had a compact digital camera with no mentionable resolution. I soon started to focus on structures
and abstract photography because anything else wasn't possible due to the low quality.

Tokyo by Jacob Aue Sobol

Tokyo
Jacob Aue Sobol
Dewi Lewis
112 pages, 70 images
Hardcover, $45


Last year, Jacob Aue Sobol's harsh, high contrast, black and white snapshot of Tokyo He won the Leica European Publishers Award, given each year since 1994. The winner is selected by the seven European publishers, external judges, and a Leica representative and then given the opportunity to publish a book. Sobol's I, Tokyo released this year by seven publishers; the English version comes from the UK publisher Dewi Lewis.

Born in Copenhagen, Sobol, a Magnum candidate since 2007, moved to Tokyo with his girlfriend Sara when she got a job there in 2006. During the 18 months he has to know the city, a pocket camera in hand. "Instead of focusing on the impressive high rise buildings and perennial crowd," writes the artist Sobol said in a statement, "I began searching the narrow streets and individual human presence in a town that seemed interesting and disgusting at the same time." Sobol's Tokyo photograph is a mixture of portraits, street scenes and observations that bear the signs of the sleek modernity and the sea of people is often associated with Japanese capital. Contrast images are intimate, sometimes erotic, and often thundering in their perspective and closeness to the people. The result is a very subjective catalog of experiences photographers looking for a place in a city foreign to him. if you want to know him more please visit Jacob here

Fall River Boys Book

Fall River Boys
Richard Renaldi
Introduction by Michael Cunningham
Charles Lane Press
184 pages, 89 images
Hardcover, $85


In March 2009, photographer Richard Renaldi and Seth Boyd partners officially opened their new publishing concern, Charles Lane Press, with the publication of Renaldi's Fall River Boys. The collection of black-and-white portraits of young men in Fall River, Massachusetts, considers life in the post-industrial city where the per capita income is $ 16,000. "It is one of those places from which certain young people dream of Escaping, almost from birth," writes author Michael Cunningham in his introduction to the book. Renaldi's subjects, says Cunningham, are at "the age at which we all begin, often without Realizing it, to do whatever we can to create our own futures, or let the opportunity pass, and embark on futures made for us by others."

Charles Lane Press's guiding ideal is that "gorgeously printed books are the ultimate expression of a photographer's vision." With its beautiful production, Fall River Boys is a first step well taken. if you are curious about the figure of Richard Renaldi please visit her website
