V and M Emerging Photographers

Our friends at luxury online marketplace V&M just launched a new sister site, V&M Photography, and an Emerging Artist series, offering affordable prints in a range of sizes.

The launch was earlier this year, kicking off with a sale that donated money to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, so keep an eye out for interesting collaborations in future.

Michael Weschler: Redefining Men

At the ASMP NY Fine Art Portfolio Review last week I was thrilled to see both familiar and new faces, and (mostly) new work. Michael Weschler is a name I recognize from my editorial licensing days, he was one of those golden photographers who were signed to the premiere agency, Outline. 

Michael presented a body of work exploring "Redefining Men," just simply challenging male stereotypes. The series includes celebrity portraits as well as regular people. I, of course, adore these romantic holiday-makers. What's Italian for 'buff'?

Does this sheep not have a knowing look? Thanks to Evžen Sobek for confirming what I, and the Housemartins, have always known...

Lou Jones: Dance

I met Boston-based photographer Lou Jones at Fotofusion in West Palm Beach, Florida, last year. He is a soft-spoken sweetheart of a man with a most fascinating and prolific history, not least of all having photographed 12 consecutive Olympics. Lou's website can tell you more. I fell for his images of dancers and he kindly agreed to let me choose some.

George Holroyd

From the series "And I" © George Holroyd

A diary of images "made in collaboration with the artist's most faithful companion, a progressive neurological disorder known as Essential Tremor."

"Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Essential Tremor, a progressive neurological disorder which can cause debilitating tremors and loss of coordination, when the symptoms that I have had since adolescence eventually worsened to the point that I began experiencing difficulty in performing simple everyday tasks."

"The series, 'And I,' is a diary; a collection of glances which illustrate a reality distorted by frustration, embarrassment, and a growing sense of social isolation. It serves as a visualization of the impact that Essential Tremor has on me and my closest relationships as I continue to come to terms with the new realities that I am presented with."

Tara Sellios: Life and Death

Untitled No. 12 (from the series Impulses, 2012 © Tara Sellios

In her unsettling yet beautiful work, Tara Sellios creates images that "articulate the totality of existence, focusing heavily on the broad themes of life and death." Sellios works with large format film and produces sketches in advance that are themselves works of art. 

This young artist (b. Boston, 1987) says "Death has always possessed a significant presence within the history of art, ranging from altarpieces to the work of the Dutch still life painters. Manifesting melancholic themes with beauty and precision, as these artists did, results in an image that is seductive, forcing the viewer to look, despite its apparent grotesque and morbid nature. Through these images, I aspire to make apparent the restlessness of a life that is knowingly so temporary and vulnerable."

Conrado Sarid-Maletah

Pure, simple enjoyment from Conrado Sarid-Maletah - part of a project he did two years ago in Mount Carmel, Israel. I dare you to not enjoy this series. Conrado is a talented artist, check his website for some interesting work in different media.

Perhaps you may try to work out what the cryptic captions are all about....

Jason Homa: The Rooms

© Jason Homa

'The Rooms' is a personal project from New Yorker Jason Homa. In it Jason "...explores the meeting spaces of Alcoholics Anonymous, without any people in them. It seeks to show the diversity of its members through the spaces but also to unify them with a common spiritual element."

I knew next-to-nothing about AA. Now I know their meetings mostly take place in churches, and that there's no saving of seats.
