Résumé:
At turns humorous and absurd, heartfelt and searching, 'Photo No-Nos' is for photographers of all levels wishing to avoid easy metaphors and to sharpen their visual communication skills. Photographers often have unwritten lists of subjects they tell themselves not to shoot — things that are cliché, exploitative, derivative, sometimes even arbitrary. 'Photo No-Nos' features ideas, stories, and anecdotes from many of the world’s most talented photographers and photography professionals, along with an encyclopedic list of more than a thousand taboo subjects compiled from and with pictures by contributors. Not a strict guide, but a series of meditations on 'bad' pictures, 'Photo No-Nos' covers a wide range of topics, from sunsets and roses to issues of colonialism, stereotypes, and social responsibility.

Résumé:
In 'Picture Summer on Kodak Film', a poem by two sisters echoes across Fulford’s photographs, comprised of recurring motifs: time, test strips, refracted light, rainbow colour, and distortion through shadows. Characters and places are repeated in kaleidoscopic compositions throughout this vivid sequence. Though taken across the world (in Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand, USA and Vietnam), these photographs come together to create a singular visual language: one bright, timeless, fictional place. A place imbued with the unexpected beauty, humor and meaning, that one has come to expect from Jason Fulford.

Résumé:
Jordan Weitzman’s Participation is a riot of off-kilter perspective and weird synchronicities, a book of photography where people, places, and things casually tangle up into beautifully baffling configurations. Through the power of close observation, Weitzman captures the world at a slant where naked bodies form sultry architecture and everyday clutter assembles into fine art. Complimented by a Louis Fratino dust jacket of half-etched figures and mysterious symbols, the book’s sequence is intimate and playful while never spelling itself out. Participation is the product of the photographer fully embedding in his circumstances and locating with an exacting compositional eye where the goofiness and boredom of everyday life drift into formal complexity and undefinable emotional states. The title is an invitation as much as it is a challenge, not only descriptive of Weitzman’s willingness to get in and meet his subjects head, waist, or side-on but for the viewer to crane their neck and pick apart his gorgeously twisted poetry of the strange ways people come together.
