The development of cities in this age of globalization and their paradoxical constructions is a long recurring theme in Bialobrzeski’s photography. This year he spent four weeks in the southern Indian province of Kerala, in the city of Kochi.

Tom Wood L o o k i n g f o r L ov e
The Chelsea Reach opened in New Brighton in 1968. Both an observer and a participant in the local scene, Wood spent the mid eighties photographing the youth of the city in their search for happiness. They found it in fleeting relationships and hopeless romances, that only usually lasted as long as the effect of their drinks.
Wood’s flash illuminates the gloomier corners of the club, bringing to light scenes that would have otherwise remained hidden

Leonard Freed S p i r i t o f t h e Ag e
His reportages created in the US and Europe made Freed one of the most significant photojournalists of the 1960s through to the 80s. With an unerring sense for the moment and empathy for the people, he left behind a multi-faceted body of work.

Fa s h i o n Freeze “I’m actually a street photographer, but this picture was taken at a fashion shoot. The model only had to walk through the scene, but she slipped and fell down. Her misfortune was my good fortune. That’s how I captured the best decisive moment picture of my career.” Pin Pinkriangkrai Leica M-P, Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Asph
