Neue Menschen









Neue Menschen: a fascinating book about youth by the highly talented Zurich photographers Rico Scagliola & Michael Meier (posted before @Shotspot), who love to portrait themselves in their dairy. The book was layouted by Zurich-Bale-based graphic design agency A  F  R  I  K  A.

"For two and a half years Rico Scagliola and Michael Meier took pictures and filmed teenagers, creating an archive of photographs and videos. Neue Menschen (New Human Beings) provides a glimpse into this project.

Teenagers today are the first generation to grow up with the picture-worlds of the Internet. Platforms of self-presentation such as Myspace and Facebook are a normal part of life to them. They learn at a young age how to present themselves in pictures. Meier and Scagliola use the young people’s visual sophistication and skilled self-presentation, integrating the projected pictures and fantasies into their own cosmos of images. The document and its presentation become one and the same. Neue Menschen offers an unusual view into a world in which pictures and life are intertwined ever-more closely—the home of digital natives. Neue Menschen presents views inside this brave new world in which the classical interests of youth and pop culture find a contemporary expression—sex and longing, perfection and reality, beauty and the abyss."

Algernon Belmont











The last few weeks have been quite busy: work, beer, music and last but not least holiday.
But now back again, check out these phenomenal night shots by Algernon Belmont, a London based photographer currently studying a BA in Media and Sociology at Goldsmith University.

"I would describe my work as being heavily influenced by life within the city and the forces living within the confines of the metropolitan landscape has on the individual. I like looking at how individuals express themselves in different ways depending on the social and/or physical surroundings they find themselves in.
I try not to direct the subjects I photograph when shooting them; I want them to express their own understanding of the social world. I want them to ask themselves - How could or should someone react to the moment they find themselves in?
Most of my work is shot at night because I feel a lot of these emotive interactions to the immediate setting are actually heightened because sight is limited to within a certain distance." (http://poptasticspastic.com/huh/)

Thx for your email, Algernon! Photographers all over the world, submit a post suggestion to shotspotter {at} gmail.com.

An inspiring online mag with stunning photographs:
"TOURIST magazine is an ever evolving platform for art, music, some kind of fashion and literature. We don't look to compete but support and collaborate with artists, musicians and writers with similair or completely different points of view. We dont cherish brand spanking new music more than old, we don't applaud new collections more than previous ones and we don't look to advertise overpriced and by questionable standards, produced garments. When did expensive and impossible to find become so unbearably cool? I look to my 5 year old niece for inspiration when it comes to fashion and my 90 year old grandma when it comes to attitude."
