Photographers you recently 'discovered'

[Raghu Kuvempunagar]

Francesco Radino is a Milan based photographer who's quite well-known in Italy and might not be elsewhere. He is equally adept in B&W and colour but it is his B&W work from the last two decades of 20th century that appeals to me a lot.

Ian Berry, a Magnum photographer.

I just picked up his book 'Living Apart', terrific work. I'd love a copy of 'The English' but it's long OOP and a good used copy is very expensive.

Thought I'd jump start this thread again with a photographer I recently stumbled upon: Sage Sohier. Love her black and white documentary work.

Markéta Luskačová

A recent Instagram post by Matt Stuart made me aware of her work as well. Great stuff.

I was watching an Amazon Prime Video on Dorothy Bohm and Markéta Luskačová was speaking about Dorothy Bohm's influence.

Has anyone discovered Stephen Shore lately? His work is exactly the kind of stuff that I am infamous for.

Shore is one of my favourites. In particular the large format work he did throughout the 1970s (Uncommon Places/American Surfaces), was a major influence for me.

I'm a big Stephen Shore fan as well, although I don't like to hear him speak about his work as it sounds like endless psychobabble to my ears.

 

[Alex Benjamin]

Dawoud Bey has been a major discovery for me - can't believe no one pointed me to his work before.

While not new to me, I re-discover the colour photography of Alex Webb every time I open one of his books.

Most photographers in "The New Black Vanguard: Photography between art and fashion" were new to me, including the extraordinarily talented Tyler Mitchell. This is an amazing book.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the video on Amazon Prime. Looking forward to watching it.

Mario Algaze: A Respect for Light

I agree! One of my favorite!

Wojciech Plewinski whom I discovered just a year ago, in spite of him being in high polish photographic circles since mid 50's (so not that much before my birthday). Had a pleasure of being invited to his home and discuss directly his photography, visualization, and old good times. Link goes direct to his " Italy '57 " series with over 70% retainers of all shots taken. Timeless photography.

Thank you for this! Wow!

I recently discovered the work of Stephen Shames, a documentary photographer who reminds me a lot of a favorite of mine, Eugene Richards.

I'm obviously late to the party on this one as Shames has 15 monographs to his name, a list of awards as long as my arm and his work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including MoMa, SF MoMa, George Eastman Museum, ICP, etc.

I agree! One of my favorite!

You mentioned Mario Algaze. If you were unaware he died last year September. Mario was a friend and I have all his books and several prints. Also a few years back we did a collaboration and I printed a limited series of four of his works for him in platinum/palladium/gold. For my efforts I have three sets (10,11 & 12) of each plus the printer’s proofs which I had framed and are on my wall If you or anyone is interested in one of the numbered sets contact me. Rest in peace Mario.

Not a recent discovery, but Stephan Vanfleteren has a new book that looks interesting to me.
