José Luis Abalo | Luchadores

“A world of revenge, honor and glory. Enter the vision of José Luis Abalo. A native of Venezuela, he devoted his photographic efforts to the documentation of Lucha Libre – Mexican and South American wrestling. His photography manages to be humorous, dark, and startling in the same moment.
His photo-book, Luchadores, will be a ticket to the front row of a wrestling match that will surprise you in its ferocity.”
—Donovan Ortega

By pre-ordering the “Luchadores“ photo book, you can support the publishing process of José Luis Abalo. Continue Reading →

Martin Cregg | The Photo Course

‘The Photo Course’ is a project which explores the environment of a Photographic Course in Dublin.
I look for the energetic ‘imprint’ from teaching and learning photography against the dead wood of the empty institutional environment.
The work is also about subtle and ephemeral micro-events which happen in the duration of a day, a week, a year, which become part of the history of the building. As we move forward we create and we construct. Continue Reading →

Deborah Parkin

My passion for photography started in earnest with the birth of my son. I had always enjoyed the photograph as an object but with his arrival came the need to record our lives. After the birth of my daughter I found that I was photographing as a way of exploring my own childhood memories as well as using it to document our lives. Photography was now becoming a means of expressing myself artistically.

In my photography I have always been drawn to the theme of childhood, whether it has been recreating my own personal memories, making images of my children and recording their childhood or working with children using ancient photographic processes.
