It’s our honor and pleasure to work with so many wonderful photographers, and to keep you informed of their creative paths. Here are some recent news items from our alumni. — The Editors

New BookPortraits of ResilienceIn the spring of 2015, the MIT community experienced a terrible spate of suicides. Daniel Jackson, a professor of computer science and an accomplished photographer, set out to meet students, faculty and staff who were suffering from depression and anxiety and to make their portraits. The gallery of portraits, he hoped, would be a source of reassurance to others who were suffering, and would go beyond destigmatization to celebrating the resilience of those who face these challenges.

The book includes 43 full page duotone images, complementing the portraits with stunning views ofMIT’s architectural landmarks.

Here at LensWork we’ve long been advocates of photographing close to home, where one can have a more intimate relationship with one’s subject matter. Daniel Jackson has done just that in this portfolio of the building in which he works – the Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry and completed in 2004. Two of the photographs were made from his office window!

Also, read an article about Wayne’s work on the photo blog, Muybridge’s Horse.

“While my photography has consisted of many aspects of the underwater world, I have been fascinated with photographing people within the ocean. In particular, these photographs have concentrated on people who are not only at home in the water, but who are absolutely in tune with the sea: Water People.”

”His life in photography, some 60 years of it, is a study in thoughtful and sensitive observation. His memoir recalls his journey as a photographer, and the many interesting people whom he has met.”

~ From foreword by Dennis Reed, Professor Emeritus of Art, Los Angeles Valley College

Ross in LensWork and LensWork Extended #93Abstracts, 1953-2010

The camera taught me not only to look, but to see. It was the perfect tool for capturing – as abstract compositions – that which exists beyond casual vision.

We always enjoy the opportunity to look at new work. In fact, about half of what we’ve published in LensWork and LensWork Extended comes from submissions that were originally unsolicited, that is to say, from readers and subscribers like you. We love giving exposure to photographers who are doing good work but are not plugged-in to the publicity machines that galleries and traditional publishers provide!

Our submission guidelines are available in the link below. Please review these submission guidelines and then feel free to send in your work for consideration.

Obviously, we can’t publish everything that is submitted, but we also can’t publish work that isn’t ever submitted! The best way to start is to send in the work and let us take a look. Thanks!
