Arno Rafael Minkkinen has created this project called Hands and Feet that uses the body for its form, abstracted a little, in concert with the natural world.

He explains:

“If you are going to be under the snow, be under the snow. ‘Out of limitations new forms emerge,’ Georges Braque said. My translation: know what you will not do. For me this means embracing reality as a collaborator in the invention of the image, not overlaying multiple images to create such impressions. In the end, my negatives will never give away how I made any one of my photographs. They will always print with the same information as found in them the day the negatives were made.”

James Mollison uses the power of series (and its inherent qualities of comparison, contrast, expectation and surprise ) to tell the very moving story of childhood around the world in his book Where Children Sleep.

“I hope the book gives a a glimpse into the lives some children are living in very diverse situations around the world; a chance to reflect on the inequality that exists, and realise just how lucky most of us in the developed world are,” says James.

Other series we've had on kids and schools around the world include:
