This series collects photographs Vega made while travelling over the last few years, both across the United States and abroad. The photographs were chosen from the moments Vega was most grateful to experience on these trips. The series is assembled informally, as an introduction to his world.
Jeong is a South Korean photographer whose work centers on the people and places around him and the ways they can be observed and documented. These photographs were made across Korea over the summer, where he focused toward the familiar places and people he came across, paying close attention to color. He focused portraying his subjects as they naturally appeared, without staging.
The work refers to the obsession with success and fame in contemporary society. Oblak and Novak make that reference by taking up its methods, pursuing official recognition through spectacle in the same way the culture around them does.
This series shows Oblak and Novak in the act of setting Guinness World Records. The records are both unique and absurd, and the artists carry them out as entertaining stunts staged to attract attention.
In our most recent essay, we trace how skateboarding built its visual identity, from 1960s sidewalk surfing to Dogtown, empty backyard pools, and the punk-fueled magazines that turned a hobby into a cultural force.

Leon-Vazquez's photographs explore the space where opposites meet, where light exists within darkness. Each photograph is treated as a fragment of a larger world built slowly over time, grounded in the American South. Her interest in history guides the choice of settings, often places that carry a sense of the past.
Manto is a photographer born and raised in Miami who works primarily between Miami and New York. He photographs the people around him, documenting a generation of young people. Each portrait begins with the way Manto sees the person in front of him, bringing their presence and style together with their surroundings in a single composition. The photographs stand as a record of the subject and of the his way of seeing them. Youth is a recurring theme across the work, tied to his interest in time and in preserving something that is always changing.
Pignocchi made the series during a 408-day sabbatical after a decade in Amsterdam, living first in a tent and then in a van to spend her days outdoors and in the sun. The title means Good Weather, a common Italian phrase, and the work draws on memories of growing up as a woman in Italy, in a culture of machismo that placed women below men. She came to see her roots as an accumulation of experiences shaped by family and landscape rather than a fixed place.
Warocquier's series follows a group of women who gather in an isolated place of woodland, a cemetery and a lakeshore, and build a temporary world of their own there. Made as docu-fiction, it combines staged and documentary photographs to explore the desire to escape and nature as a place of shelter. The title refers to a wolf trying to break free from the chest, a figure for the instinct that persists in the body.
Magnaghi is a visual artist and fashion designer based in Buenos Aires whose practice centers primarily on oil painting. Her paintings are quiet scenes drawn from personal memory and aesthetics of the past.
The figures are often still and composed, and appear at ease, while their expressions and surroundings carry a deeper melancholy. Magnaghi ties this contrast to the emotional restraint of contemporary life, where detachment can be a way of hiding what one feels.
Schultz is a photographer based in New York, and this series collects Schultz's 35mm social documentary photography from across the West in the 2020s. The series continues on his Substack (streetreceipts).
