Daniel Arnold's work is deeply human, with a sense of intrigue and humor that breathes fresh air into an age of extreme curation and perfectionism. With a dynamic and versatile voice, he has covered everything from home births to high fashion, from the Met Gala to the 2016 campaign trail and multiple inaugurations. Arnold began his career documenting the streets of New York City with an innate curiosity and a wry smile that quickly gained him a cult following and frequent collaborations with the New York Times and Vogue. In 2022, he was profiled by the New Yorker in conjunction with the release of "Pickpocket," an unconventional monograph compiled by the Safdie Brothers' Elara Press. Per that New Yorker profile, “Walking the streets, in his hoodie and dark mustache, with a camera or two around his neck, [Arnold] himself has become one of the city’s characters, a recognizable N.Y.C. figure.” His odd, enduring photos can be found in art galleries around the world - he can usually be found out wandering.
Barbara Bosworth is a photographer whose large-format images explore both overt and subtle relationships between humans and the natural world.
Whether chronicling the efforts of hunters or bird banders or evoking the seasonal changes that transform mountains and meadows, Bosworth’s caring attention to the world around her results in images that inspire viewers to look closely.
Over her long career, Bosworth has photographed with a large-format 8x10 camera. Her single images display a generous attention to small facts, while her large-scale triptychs reveal a panoramic awareness, one that lets viewers glimpse relationships between frames across a wide field. All of Bosworth’s projects remind viewers not only that we shape nature but that it also shapes us.
Bosworth’s work has been widely exhibited, notably in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (2024), Cleveland Museum of Art (2024), Denver Art Museum (2015), Peabody Essex Museum (2012), and Smithsonian American Art Museum (2008).
Bosworth’s monographs include The Meadow (2015), The Heavens (2018), and The Sea (2021) published by Radius Books. She has also published with Dust Collective, TIS Books, Datz Press, and MIT Press, among others.
Bosworth is the recipient of a 1995 Guggenheim Fellowship and the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from The Cleveland Arts Prize.
Bosworth grew up in Novelty, Ohio, and lives in Massachusetts, where she is Professor Emeritus of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Paul D'Amato was born in Boston where he attended Boston Latin School at the height of racial unrest and civil rights.

He is now finishing work for two books: “Midway” and “The Train Riders”.

Born in Karlstad in 1969, JH Engström is a Swedish photographer and video artist. He lives and works between Paris and Smedsby (Värmland, Sweden).
Engström’s practice is based on the bypass of all rules and advocates great freedom of style. Feeling at ease with the instantaneous as much as with the staged frame, a virtuoso of the black and white and of color, he masters the accident and toys with techniques to question photography itself. In the years 2000-2010, his forms of representations evolved to combine various means including installation, video, books and writing as a way to abolish hierarchies between the images and introduce an ethereal lyricism into his work.
An intuitive approach that conceals a very personal reading of the world in which the autobiographical exploration is central. JH Engström demonstrates that all things carry vital energy within, that solitude and empathy, feelings of safety or on the contrary, vulnerability, are experienced every day. Hence, each portrait or self-portrait, still life or landscape, holds a sum of recollections and constitutes an intimate, visual and poetic journal that addresses each and every one. In 2012, JH Engström and Margot Wallard established Atelier Smedsby, a one-year workshop with three week-end sessions allowing participants to exchange with the two artists about their photographic work.
JH Engstrom has has authored many publications, including Shelter (1997); Trying to Dance (Journal, 2003); Haunts (Steidl, 2005); CDG/JHE (Steidl, 2008); Foreign Affair (Super Labo, 2011); La Résidence (Journal, 2009); From Back Home (Max Ström, 2009); Sketch of Paris (Aperture, 2013); Långt Från Stockholm (Aron Mörel, 2013), Ende und Anfang, Early Trips (André Frère Éditions, 2013); Tout va bien (Aperture, 2015); Revoir (Akio Nagasawa Publishing / Journal, 2017); Crash (Akio Nagasawa Publishing, 2018); He is the recipient of international prizes and grants including the Leica Oskar Barnack Prize (Tout Va Bien, 2015); the Golden Letter (La Résidence, 2012); the Rencontre d’Arles photobook prize (From Back Home, with Anders Petersen, 2009); he was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photographic Prize (Trying to Dance, 2005) and received a grant from the Andrea Frank Foundation (1998). He is the winner of the Photographic Book of the year in Sweden (with Shelter, 1998).

Born in 1994, I grew up in Knoxville, TN, where I live now with my partner Hannah. We often go North to see her family and friends in Michigan, where she grew up. We travel elsewhere when possible. These days, life is a smaller circle. We visit the same places often, which provides a reprieve from our immediate obligations of survival inside the routine of the days we are carried through. In search of small freedoms, that feeling of discovering life again as new, we are creating a path we call home. Meandering, cyclical, left behind here is what remains.
I primarily make pictures and write poems, which is at its best in book form. I publish through underlife editions.

Melinda Blauvelt studied photography at Yale with Walker Evans, was the first woman in Yale’s MFA photography program, went on to teach at Harvard, and has her pictures in major museums throughout the United States. Inspired by Evans’ 1930s photographs of rural America, she began a unique project in 1972, which she only recently unearthed and printed.Melinda decided to spend that summer photographing the small fishing village of Brantville, New Brunswick. She lived with a fisherman and his family, ran a day camp, and made remarkable portraits of the village residents. Bill Shapiro, former editor of Life magazine, calls her Brantville images “quietly riveting, somehow managing to be big-hearted while not sentimental, clear-eyed but not cynical, highlighting our human quirks and our warmth in equal measure.” This important collection of black & white photographs depicts a time when New Brunswick, and particularly the Acadian Peninsula, was going through deep social changes. They speak to the values of community, family, and the ability of brilliant images to frame and extend our ability to truly see a place.
