A Place In The Cliff, what a lovely start. The title had me before I even turned the first page. Yosuke Yajima’s pocket size book has a finely constructed edit that has you wanting to turn each page to see where you are off to next. Bemused and faceless portraits combined with pockets of wilderness have you toing and froing from reality to fantasy. I started to feel like I was in the pursuit of something i couldn’t ignore, every image begins to harness an expectation, leading you eagerly toward the next page.
Large scale and dramatic images have been successfully contained to these small pages with great effect. I want to see behind the hair that covers the girls face, I need to know where that blustery green tree is and why that couple are on the other side of the river. I love the inquisitive nature these images have lead me, I feel the vastness of the valley more so than ever.
If you would like to get your hands on this book, your best bet is to get in contact with Yosuke.

Peter Watkins’s work doesn’t need any introduction, and to be honest you have probably seen this work already, I just wanted the chance to play with an edit and admire such an incredible series. If you have a spare five minutes today, take a look at his website and indulge in a variety of projects that will undoubtedly survie the test of time. Hopefully you will have a show some time Peter, would love to see these in print. Enjoy.

Things are getting suitably scientific here at WB this week. Having stumbled across, got lost, stuck and a little space sick by what we have concluded is the greatest website of all time here. Science appears to be rearing it’s wonderful head in every corner of the internet we look, introducing the work of Adam Schreiber. All i know of Adam is that he is part of the exciting collective Lakes Were Rivers based in Austin, Texas. Finding myself instantly drawn to Schreiber’s work upon first glance, immidiate visual impact, mystery, curiosity and balanced consistency… what more could you want from these images?

A few weeks back we posted work by the wonderfully talented Lonneke van der Palen. Today we take a look at fellow Dutch master and partner in crime; Guus Kaandorp. Teaming up together for a FOAM commission, Lonneke & Guus had the enviable task of visually representing ‘10 years of FOAM,’ producing a series of vivid still life images depicting what we can only presume are a variety of unique gifts donated to the institution. Kaandorp’s website offers a refreshing and engaging display of photography, reflecting his tactile and vivid approaches to a subject, enabling the view to avoid simply being fed images.
