Katherine Squier is 21 years old and takes photos with her point-and-shoot that she carries in her purse. She started taking pictures in 2008. The majority of the photos are taken within seconds, rushed attempts to capture something inspiring that she sees while she lives her life. She is currently studying psychology in Austin, Texas.

“I don’t know what I will do with my life or photography at the present, and I’m okay with that. I try to live with awareness and photography allows me to capture moments that inspire me as I live them.”

VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.

His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

The Selby features photographs, paintings and videos by Todd Selby of interesting people and their creative spaces usually in New York, London and LA. He’s a photographer, blogger and fashion celebrity living in Manhattan. His work represents neighborhoods like Brooklyn and Silver Lake. He started the Selby because of his curiosity about the ways personal space reflects personality.

When he started taking pictures professionally seven years ago he did his first portfolio solely of photos of his friends in their homes combined with a few still-lives of their possessions. It was a natural shift to just take that work and put in on the internet. From there the concept has evolved and he have started adding new elements such as paintings, videos and hand written photo captions and interviews.

Ari is surprised that he can’t remember a thing anymore about that period of his life.

Intrigued by this riddle, he decides to meet and interview old friends and comrades around the world. He needs to discover the truth about that time and about himself. As Ari delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to creep up in surreal images …

Ryan McGinley is an American photographer living in New York City who began making photographs in 1998. In 2003, at the age of 24, McGinley was the youngest artist to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was also named Photographer of the Year in 2003 by American Photo Magazine. In 2007 McGinley was awarded the Young Photographer Infinity Award by the International Center of Photography.

At an early age he learned how to skateboard and began making trips into the East Village and the Lower East Side to hang out and skate with friends. His peers and mentors were skateboarders, graffiti writers, musicians, and artists considered to be on the fringes of society. He moved to the East Village in 1998 and at one point his apartment walls were covered with hundreds of Polaroid pictures of everyone who visited him there.

His first book of photos, The Kids Are Alright (2002), was handmade and distributed to people he respected in the art world and sold at the exhibition. One of these books ended up in the hands of Sylvia Wolf who ushered his work onto the walls of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Since 2004, Ryan McGinley’s style has evolved from documenting his friends in various real-life situations towards creating fantastical settings where the situations he envisions can be documented. For McGinley, it is important that variables remain in the photographic equation where the unexpected can occur. McGinley shoots 35mm film and makes his photographs using an arsenal of Yashica T4s and Leica R8s.
