Edgar Martins



I came across Edgar Martins work whilst looking at the New York Photography festival website. In this series 'The diminishing present' which one him a prize in the fine art section of the festival he turns the camera on scapes in which seem to fade away either through light or perspective. See more of the work at his very impressive website: http://www.edgarmartins.com/

Trevor Paglen



Some really interesting photographs by Trevor Paglen who refers to himself as a part time geographer amongst other things. In this visual project Paglen uses a telescope which would normally be pointed towards the sky to point in places we would normally have no access or way of seeing into. Climbing into nearby mountain ranges of restricted military bases he points the telescope with camera attached towards them trying to capture something we would otherwise not see.

Maurizio Anzeri



Graduating with a MA in sculpture the use of threadwork has always be apparent in the work she has made including that of huge hair sculptures in her earlier work. In family album though Anzeri has taken photographs carefully stitching over them leaving the eyes and mouth fully visible, the result is a somewhat disturbing and beautiful image. See more of the work at: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile/Twinkle+Troughton/12782 or if your in london you can get down to the photographers gallery.
