Margo Ovcharenko

Margo Ovcharenko (1989) is a Moscow based photographer. From a young age she has intuitivly taken portraits without posing her subjects. She yearns to reveal the fragile vulnerability of those she photographs. Drawing inspiration from light, color, and the use of perception in pre-nineteenth century paintings, she aims to narrow the distance between subject and viewer. Not believing in photography as a vehicle through which to search for aesthetic beauty, instead she sees it is a way to distort perspective in time and space. In her work light and silence are the greatest allies; drawing the spectator in, creating tension, and a sense of impending violence, without brutality. She takes pictures of those on the cusp of transitioning between youth and adulthood. All copyright Margo Ovcharenko.

Nicholas McLean

Nicholas McLean (a.k.a. carbonblack™) was born in London to a Portuguese German mother and an English father. After gaining a degree in Fine Art and History of Art in the UK, he has has lived in London, Stockholm, New York and Tokyo working for some of world´s most creative advertising agencies (including Chiat/Day, Brindfors, TBWA and Hakuhodo). He is currently based in Oslo, working as an independent art photographer. He is also the founder of the multi-disciplinary creative collective lifeiscarbon®. The photography of carbonblack™ has been described as everyday photographic surrealism, since it often features elements of quiet surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur. Seemingly, a series of stolen moments forming unclear narratives that seem to have hidden or ambiguous meaning. The solitude and slight sense of strangeness in the world of his images creates an uneasy space inhabited by the photographer, his subject and the viewer. An empathy for color and light is used to create a psychological space which is engaging but ultimately elusive. All copyright carbonblack™

Francesca Woodman

Francesca Woodman (1958-1981) was a photographer best known for her black and white pictures featuring herself and female models. Many of her photographs show young women who are nude, who are blurred (due to movement and long exposure times), who are merging with their surroundings, or whose faces are obscured. Her work continues to be the subject of much attention, years after she committed suicide at the age of 22. All photographs Francesca Woodman.
