Sunday Zine Review #35: Getaway by Yoshiyuki Matsumura

When I started writing this review, I didn't know anything at all about Yoshiyuki Matsumura, the photographer of Geatway. Jakub (who recently posted some photos of the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition in Glasgow that you should check!) showed me the zine and asked if I wanted to review it.

The first thing I liked was the format (A6), which is not really conventional in a photography zine and may not be the best size to display photos, but it works with the images featured in Getaway.

Having a look at the photo selection, I can't think of a better format for the zine. The images collected in Getaway look like a group of memories gathered from different places visited by the photographer.

Yoshiyuki has also produced other two zines following the same format, you can find more info about them on his site.

Sunday Zine Review #34: Symbl 01 & 02

Symbl is a series of publications and websites from Adam Shield, Anna Brass and Chris Minchin. Jakub bought the first two issues and I asked him if I could take some photos and write a little review.

Each publication seems to have a different topic, although I still haven't figured out what's the concept behind Symbl 01. Apart from this, the zine is nicely printed on newspaper and I really enjoyed the selection of images.

Symbl 02 is all about animals. Again, the photo selection is pretty good and this time the format chosen is the conventional zine binding but using a size somewhere between A4 and A5.

There will be another two publications that will be relased later this year. I'm actually excited to see what formats and themes the guys behind Symbl will choose.

You can get the first two issues here.

Sunday Zine Review #33: Untitled Photographs by Tim Barber

This is not really a zine review but thougth about sharing the work of one of my favourite photographers.

When I discovered Tim Barber's photos, he quickly became one of my main inspirations. I love how he doesn't rely on naked bodies, or anything else which could be considered provocative, to create stunning images.

You can check Tim's fashion and personal work here.

Sunday Zine Review #32: Bikeshed 01

A couple of weeks ago, the girls behind Bikeshed zine started following me on Twitter. They were presenting the zine at Nottingham Zine Fair and I asked them if they wanted to have it reviewed here.

Last Friday I received a nice package consisting of Bikeshed 01, a tote bag and some stickers and cards. Thanks a lot again for sending it!

The first issue of Bikeshed is called the Locker Talk issue. The zine features photos, collages and texts around those years at secondary school and everything that was happening during the classes and behind the bike shed.

I love the idea and really like how Bryony, Holly and Hannah (the editors of Bikeshed) have come up with the different sections that compose the publication.

The Detention Slip feature is great, it is a collection of – hopefully real – detention notes from different schools and years. Photographer Tommy Francis portrays the middle class youth of South West London, and some of the most memorable school experiences of the zine contributors are shared along photos of drawings and texts carved on the class’ desks.

If you like what you’ve read and want to get a copy of the zine you can do it here for just £4!

Remember to follow Bikeshed on Twitter to stay updated on any future issues!
