Sunday Zine Review #89: Dienacht 13

This is the second time I review dienacht here on the Sunday Zine Review. Last February, I wrote about the magazine's 12th issue and today I'm talking about their latest issue, which has been released one month later than usual but that has been definitely worth waiting for. 

For those of you who haven't heard about dienacht, it is mainly a photography magazine although there's also space for illustrators and graphic designers. Each issue usually features the work and series of a selection of artists coming from very different photography genres, a couple of graphic design and illustration portfolio showcases and a final section with zines, books and magazines reviews.

Issue 13th features the work of New York-based photographer Chad Moore, whose book "Between Us" I reviewed here last year. It also showcases the series "Nature Morte" by Ingar Krauss, the nocturnal landscapes of Daisuke Yokota, Francesco Merlini's black and white work, Verena Brandt's daily life images and Johan Bäuman's Albino project amongst other features.

dienacht 13 is a limited edition of 1,000 copies and is available at the magazine's online shop.

After School

A couple of months ago, I shot this editorial and short film here in Edinburgh. It was great to work again with stylist Katherine Whyte - every time I've worked with her the result has been amazing!

Ciara Rafferty @ModelTeam and Sophie Crooks @Colours were lots of fun and were great both on the pictures and the video. Also, Caron Tait (MUA and hair) did an amazing job.

Sunday Zine Review #88: Accidentally on Purpose by Ben Richards

Sometimes accidents in photographs can turn them into something special. One of my favourite photographs is an image I took a few years ago and that is almost completely overexposed due to the fact that I opened the camera without realising that the film wasn't over.

In Accidentally On Purpose, graphic arts and design student Ben Richards has compiled photographs he took and that at the the time of development were not desired. Ben has created a a series that show how these once unwanted images can also be beautiful.

From light leaks and expired Polaroids to accidental shutter releases and errors during development, Ben shows how these unwanted images can be more desirable than technically perfect, staged photographs.

Ben Richards has released two volumes of Accidentally on Purpose that have now sold out, but keep an eye on his website for future releases!

Sunday Zine Review #87: Bruised 02

Bruised is a zine published by creative collective Freeways Collide. Established in 2009, first as a blog and later as an art space and sponsorship program, Freeways Collide decided to focus their strength and create their first zine, Bruised, earlier this year.

Bruised is a photography zine edited by Freeways Collide's founders, Lowell Ong and Sara Todd. The second issue is called 'Merging Oceans' and is a collection of photographs taken by Lowell and Sara, showcasing moments of their lives in California.

I've really enjoyed the selection of images for this issue, maybe because I love anything that has to do with California, but I like that there's a voyeuristic element in some of the photographs and how there's, somehow, an overall feeling of loneliness in the zine.

Bruised is available at selected bookshops in the US and also at Freeways Collide's online store.

Sunday Zine Review #86: The Thames Link by Dorrell Merritt

Today's second review is The Thames Link by Dorrell Merritt. Dorrell is a fine art photographer and writer based in London. I came across Dorrell online (probably Twitter or Tumblr, really can't remember) a while ago and we exchanged a few emails about photography. 

Quite recently, Dorrell messaged me to talk about his first book and he seemed really excited about it. There's lots of reasons to be excited about a first book, but Dorrell should also feel really proud of The Thames Link.

In this book, Dorrell has collated photographs from his night journeys on the Thameslink train line. There's always something really intriguing in everyday situations and routines like riding the train or bus to work, but it's difficult to portray this and to find the unexpected in something we do every day. Dorrell has managed to do this in The Thames Link, capturing the loneliness of the night ride and details that probably remain hidden for most of the regular passengers of this train line.

The book also includes three poems that Dorrell wrote on his own experiences, memories and the historical significance of the line. 

You can buy the book online at Dorrell's website or at Tate Modern, Claire de Rouen and Donlon Books in London.

Sunday Zine Review #85: Shoppinghour 10

I'm really happy to talk about Shoppinghour again on today's first review. In October last year, I published an interview with its editor, Peter Eramian, here on the blog. Peter introduced the magazine to the Sunday Zine Review readers and also talked about the whole cycle of producing a publication.

Now on its tenth issue, Shoppinghour presents a bigger format that reflects the growth and evolution of the magazine. This is a well-deserved change for a publication that focuses on, somehow, niche topics, bringing the arts, social sciences and humanities together.

This new format is also accompanied by a larger number of contributors from all over the world. South African photographer Nico Krijno, Glaswegian artist Niall Macdonal or Polish director and writer Michal Kosakowski are just a few of the collaborators who have contributed their photographs, artworks and texts to the tenth issue of Shoppinhour.

Shoppinghour 10 is now available at Shoppinghour's online shop and also at selected bookshops across United Kingdom, Europe, New York, Tokio, Seoul and South Africa. You can find more information about the distributors on Shoppinghour's website.
