Photos: An Ice-Covered Russian Ghost Town. Earlier this week, the photographer Maria Passer visited some of the ice-covered abandoned buildings of Vorkuta, a dwindling coal-mining city north of the Arctic Circle, in Russia’s Komi Republic.
Temperatures in Vorkuta can drop as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit in the coldest winter months. Fewer than half of the city’s once-active coal mines still operate today, and the ongoing unemployment crisis has driven residents to leave by the thousands, abandoning huge Soviet-era housing blocks to the elements. Every winter, the snow and ice move in, encrusting what used to be people’s living rooms, offices, and bedrooms.

New York City has always been known for both its glamour and grit.
It's this duality that inspires photographer Nicolas Miller; his neo-noir images capture the cinematic nature of everyday life among the overpasses, high-rises, and neon signs. Miller's pursuit of imperfect light and lonely urban corners produce images that invoke the magic of film noir in the modern age. To achieve this, he looks for weather and light conditions that most photographers would consider far from ideal.
“I love shooting in heavy rain conditions or deep fog,” Miller tells My Modern Met. In signature monochromatic style, Patricia Voulgaris’ photographs are impactful and empowering. Within The Hunter, Patricia’s photographs are chronicling a story that’s just as dark as their monochromatic tones.
Focusing on violence and how perception can influence a person’s actions, the photographer chose to shoot the images in locations where violence typically occurs: the home, in schools and in the workplace. Salt Water New England: First Snowflakes. Paolo Zerbini photographs Mexico City quite unlike you’ve ever seen it before. Struck immediately, not only by the beauty of the place but also its people, in time, Paolo found his favourite spots for snapping his shutter.
Away from the main tourist areas, away from anywhere remotely recognisable, Paolo comfortably found himself in a setting where the light, architecture and subjects could work their magic all on their own. He met a young bullfighter practising in the park, remembering, “I had to let go of judgement for such a tradition. It’s never easy to leave out your take on a certain thing when feeling so strongly about it.

Caplan, Site of Public Execution by Burning at the Stake of Giordano Bruno, February 17, 1600 (Campo de’Fiori, Rome) Henning Rogge: History Based Landscapes. ©Henning Rogge, #41 (Rotterbach und Hacksiefen) I must admit, I do not know a lot about Henning Rogge, nor do I know much about his work beyond what I can see in the images.
But what I see I absolutely love, and so, I reached out to Henning, who is based in Hamburg and asked if I could include his work here, to which he graciously agreed. I first came across this series, titled Bombenkrater (Bomb Craters), some years ago in the New York Times Lens Blog. The images are serene color photographs of wooded areas that each contain a similar round depression in the ground made by bombs in the Second World War. This artist handed out cameras across America – here’s what pictures came back. Last year, New York artist Neil Hamamoto embarked on a road trip across the USA in an Airstream-turned-darkroom.
Though he wasn’t ‘inspired’, per se, by the documentary photographer Robert Frank’s The Americans, the seminal photo series does provide a sort of framework to understand his ambitions. “Road trip, black-and-white photography, America, book,” Neil says. The key difference, however, is that Neil handed the cameras over to the people he met along the way and FREE FILM: USA, the resulting story, offers a unique sort of visual diary of the country. With a background in sculpture and design for the tech industry, this was something of a gear change for Neil. “I’m a conceptual artist making work in a variety of mediums,” he says, “but focus most of my time on sculpture -- using wood, metal and other prefabricated materials. INTERVIEW: Stephen Shore: 'The current moment recontextualises the photos in American Surfaces' In June 1972 the 24-year-old photographer and native New Yorker Stephen Shore set off on a road trip, driving south, through Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas, into the deep South and Southwest.
Up until this point Shore had shot his work mainly in black and white, though for this road trip he loaded his 35mm Rollei with Kodacolor film, more popular with holidaymakers than fine artists. Shore, like thousands of other amateur photographers, sent his film rolls back to Kodak for processing, and exhibited the small snapshots pasted up on the wall in grid formation in an upmarket New York gallery later that year. Thus, American Surfaces was born. Then as now, the photographer was clearly toying with non-professional modes of picture making; yet no one would ever mistake his 1970s road trip pictures, which are published in our newly updated edition of American Surfaces as a simple vacation record.

Matt Oswalt's Photos of Seedy LA Liquor Stores. How Yves Klein’s “Leap into the Void” Changed Photography. On a brisk morning in November 1960, Parisians were greeted with a special four-page newspaper placed alongside the weekly Le Journal du Dimanche. It was not a paper known to anyone, and its front page featured a smartly dressed man frozen in curvilinear form, having just flung himself from a second-story roof onto the cement sidewalk below. “A man in space!” The headline proclaimed, announcing the newcomer’s victory over the heated international space race. “The painter of space leaps into the void!” The man was avant-garde artist , and it was his own satirical publication featuring his now-famous image Leap into the Void (1960). Stefanie Schneider’s Photographs Capture the Fragile Beauty of Expired Instant Film. California called to her, as she came of age in the overcast winters of northern Germany.
The desert’s distinctive quality of light and complex visual history resonated with her. “Since childhood I was fascinated by America, primarily through the Hollywood films I saw that portrayed characters pursuing lofty goals, starring in rags-to-riches stories, often set in the vast expansiveness of the land,” Schneider said. She left for San Francisco just after she graduated high school, with no money or resources to her name, working three jobs and saving up for a motorcycle.
After a hit-and-run that left her leg shattered and required 30 surgeries, she moved back to Germany to heal. The year's best photojournalism.
