Tim Barber
What can I say about Tim Barber? I started my photography blog right after I saw his tinyvices site for the first time. Not only was I blown away by his eye for curating current photographers, but also by his own work. I have a theory that any photographer attached to Tim Barber (or Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow for that matter) in some way, whether in a group show or featured on tinyvices, should technically have no problem 'making it' in the New York art scene (arguably the scene). Although his subjects are all New York socialites, designers and artists alike of today, which naturally makes each piece instantly more publicly appealing, Barber's aesthetic must be applauded. Is it the west coast aesthetic that I love coming through in NYC? (Barber studied photography in Vancouver and now lives and works in New York..) It is the beauty captured in the moment of his subjects coupled with blurred natural surroundings that I appreciate most. Then again, his work has so much variety that contradicts this aesthetic appeal. Perhaps I like his variation in style. Or maybe it's just because everything that these photographers touch, turns to gold.

At first glance, everything may seem to be in its proper place, but Carlsen alters the reality of his photographs just enough to make us question our minds.

Ali Bosworth
The natural essence of the photograph is often lost in cities overwhelmed with stimuli. Smaller towns, such as Ali Bosworth's (and my own) hometown of Victoria BC, often provide more artistic inspiration as it forces us to really look at our surroundings. Bosworth uses Vancouver Island's natural beauty to its fullest potential both standing on its own, and as an artistic framework to portray various subjects, including his girlfriend in various wonderful vintage dresses.
Ironically, much of Bosworth's work was captured in parts of the world where most photographers would be overwhelmed with the amount of new content. I appreciate his ability to remain consistent in unknown countries. I like the arid whiteness of his Cappadocia album and his consistency with photographing dry grass and crumbling rock.
Check out his interview with zero1magazine here.
