Sunday Zine Review #53: SNAP! Magazine 18

SNAP! is a free quarterly magazine founded by Hannah Byrne and Shayl Prisk. I hadn't heard about it until a month ago when I came across the cover of the last issue on Facebook. I instantly fell in love with Maurizio di Iorio photo and email Hannah to find out how to get a copy.

SNAP! is distributed in stores across Canada, New York City and London, but if you live anywhere else you can also get a copy paying for postage only.

When I got my copy of the magazine I was really impressed by the quality of the paper and the size (10 x 14 inches). If I saw it somewhere I would never thought it's actually a free publication.

The second thing that impressed me was the editorial line of the magazine. The selection of photographers is amazing and the articles and interviews are definitely worth a reading.

The topic of the Fall 2012 issue is "road trips", a great theme to say goodbye to the summer months. There are several fashion editorials inspired by this theme, shot around the world by different photographers. This issue also presents interviews with a flight attendant and with photographers who have a strong relationship with the road.

My favourite feature has to be the Marie-Christin Stephan's photo essay about the contemporary explorer culture, linking it to the traditional explorer portraiture. You can find more about it on her website.

SNAP! 18 is available online here. If you're interested in getting a copy, all you need to do is send an email to info@snapme.ca

Marta

My friend Marta came to visit me in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. She only stayed for 2 days but I showed her Edinburgh and we also went to Glasgow to see Grizzly Bear at Barrowland -amazing venue, hadn't been inside before but need to go back to do a photoshoot in there. We had dinner at Mono and went for drinks to Nice 'n' Sleazy.

Our hotel room in Glasgow got a little flooded and I was offered a free night stay for another time, which I'm going to use later this month to see Wild Nothing playing at Stereo.

Sunday Zine Review #52: Between Us by Chad Moore

This is my second review of the publications Pogo Books sent me. Last month I talked about the work of Jean-Michael Seminaro, now it’s time for one of those photographers whose images are currently all over the internet, Chad Moore.

The cover of Between Us is probably Chad Moore’s most iconic photo. If you spend the same amount of time Tumblr and other social sites as I do, I bet you have seen it before. 

This sun bleached photo is a great introduction to Chad’s work and to what’s inside this little book.

Chad’s photos clearly remind of an early Ryan McGinley, in fact, both photographers usually hang out together and Chad had assisted Ryan in numerous shoots. I would also dare to say that Between Us is, somehow, a continuation to the zine that put Ryan McGinley in the spotlight, The Kids Are Alright.

And I don’t mean this comparison in a bad way, Chad is really good at documenting his life and portraying his friends. The book is a celebration of youth and Chad has captured a selection of intimate moments that really make you want to know more about them.

Flipping through the pages of the book, you can find some great images like the one of the couple in bed, of which he has talked about in Dazed Digital, or the photograph where the girl is kissing that ‘no-faced’ boy. 

It’s the way in which Chad captures all these moments, what makes Between Us special.

If you want to find more information about the book, you can do it on Pogo Book’s website.

Sunday Zine Review #51: Stay Young

Today's second review is Stay Young, a photography zine edited by Paul John Nelson, a designer and photographer based in London.

Stay Young is a great collection of photographs, from portraits to landscapes, by the world's best and most interesting young photographers. Paul says about the zine "the beauty and power of photography not only lies in it’s ability to communicate and be universally understood, but also in its printed form".

The curation of the images is really nice, they might look completely different at first sight but they really work together, evoking some kind of freedom and reflecting that youth from all the photographers who are featured in it.

Stay Young is printed on A3 newspaper and it's only £4, you can find more information about it on the zine's Tumblr.

Sunday Zine Review #50: Tappa Tappa Tappa

I'm back with a couple of reviews this Sunday. First one is Tappa Tappa Tappa, a really nice A6 zine put together by Amy Pettifer and Jessica Harby, 2 artists and friends based in London.

Amy and Jessica sent me the first two issues of the zine. Each of them comes nicely packed in a printed envelope, and inside, you can find a selection of texts, images, ideas and lots of inspiration.

The format is different in each of the issues. The first one is printed in black & white and can be unfolded into a A3 poster, whilst the second issue is little colour booklet.

If you want to know more about the zine, you can follow it on Facebook or email tappax3@gmail for more information. I'm really looking forward to seeing a third issue, and especially what kind of packaging Amy and Jessica are going to choose!

Suburban Dream

 

  

 

 

This is my favourite editorial from everything I've ever shot. It is hard to choose a personal favourite from all your past work but when I was shooting this I knew that the results were going to be good (and I don't usually feel that confident during photoshoots).

This was the second time I worked with stylist Katherine Whyte and MUA Debbie Slater, had done the Halfway House editorial with them a month or so before I shot this one. The first time worked really well but this time worked even better.

Katherine brought these amazing clothes and we drove to Bishopbriggs, just outside Glasgow. I fell in love with the place as soon as I got out of the train, I had always wanted to shoot an editorial with a very suburban feeling.

The styling worked so well with the location and Fern Calderwood from The Model Team was amazing. I had never worked with Fern before, but after these photos I messaged her again and we're planning to shoot a short fashion video in a couple of weeks.

It's been over 3 months since I shot the editorial, but thanks Katherine, Debbie and Fern for an amazing Sunday in Bishopbriggs!
