Jill Greenberg | “Instagram Takeover,” Entertainment Weekly
From Dana Rose Falcone’s article for Entertainment Weekly:
Whether you livestreamed the acts or experienced them live in Grant Park, chances are you’ll love the images photographer Jill Greenberg captured behind the scenes from the fest. Featuring stills of artists like Alesso, Tove Lo, and Charli XCX, Greenberg’s photos were taken for Instagram’s Portrait Series.
“I had about three to five minutes for each artist or band, so it was simpler when it was just one singer to get a nice portrait,” Greenberg tells EW via email. “I was working alone with no lights or reflectors and a DSLR. In most cases I had not heard their music so it was a bit crazy!”

Traer Scott | “Beautiful Photos of Shelter Dogs,” The Huffington Post
From Kate Bratskeir’s article for The Huffington Post:
In an effort to help the left-behind pooches get scooped up into welcoming homes and provided with the belly rubs they deserve, photographer Traer Scott started taking powerful closeups of shelter and homeless dogs. Over the past 10 years, Scott, who has a pit bull of her own and volunteers at shelters, has amassed an incredible collection of animal photos. “I found that no matter what, I couldn’t bring myself to delete their photos, which were in some cases, the only record of their existence,” she wrote on her website.
Amy Touchette | “Choosing a Camera for the Street,” tuts+
From Amy Touchette’s article for tuts+:
“It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.” Late, great Magnum photographer Eve Arnold once famously said that, and I’ve yet to meet a photographer who disagrees. But I would add that it’s only true when all is in working order to begin with, when the photographer is able to get out of the camera’s way in order to be the instrument.
Historically, street photographers have preferred small, unobtrusive, quiet cameras, because they allow them to be agile and discreet, the Leica maybe being the most well-known. Soon after Oskar Barnack and Ernst Leitz invented the Leica 35mm camera in 1924, many street photographers happily put aside large format cameras for its compact body and fast captures. For legendary street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, it was groundbreaking: “As I photograph with my little Leica, I have the feeling that there is something so right about it: with one eye that is closed, one looks within. With the other eye that is open, one looks out.”

Rachel Papo | “Life and Lessons,” PDN
From Dzana Tsomondo’s article on Rachel Papo’s series “Homeschooled” in Photo District News:
“Homeschooled,” a new series by Israeli-American photographer Rachel Papo, is a quiet meditation on the home education movement, a growing practice in the United States. But while much of the discussion around the subject tends to revolve around parents and their beliefs, Papo’s work focuses firmly on the lives and routines of a group of 15 homeschooled children living in New York’s Catskill Mountains. They are a disparate bunch: babyfaced True, with her long hair and rosary; Morgan clutching a microscope in one image and Thor’s hammer in the next; tiny Grisha and Anastasia enticing a squirrel from behind a window; the playful farm boy Roan bundled in a cowboy’s fringed jacket and coonskin cap, alongside his big sister Iris, whose aloof gaze reminds us that homeschooled or not, teenagers are teenagers.

Peter Berlin | “The Pioneers,” San Francisco Magazine
From Lauren Murrow’s interview with Peter Berlin for San Francisco Magazine:
“I think that in 200 years or more, the separation between art and pornography will blur. I know that one day my photographs will be expensive, but all that doesn’t matter to me. You know what my legacy is? If you click on my name on the internet, there are hundreds and hundreds of images. My image is there forever.”—Peter Berlin

Peter Berlin | “Ich bin Berlin,” Wylde Magazine
From Pippa Brooks’ article on and interview with Peter Berlin for Wylde Magazine:
Who is your favourite porn star? Mine is Peter Berlin. Even though his films and photographs were not created ‘for’ me (they were obviously made exclusively for a gay male audience) he leaves me breathless. More because I’m obsessed with human beings who become their own unique creation than necessarily because of a penchant for gay porn. Peter Berlin: the name is pure Warhol superstar, the image: pure Tom of Finland.
In the world of gay iconography, the artist Tom of Finland’s exaggerated, pumped, throbbing drawings of man-on-man physicality showed a kind of ultimate masculine fantasy. If Alberto Vargas was drawing the ultimate female form, Tom of Finland’s male pin-ups were the gay equivalent. The first time I saw Peter Berlin on film I literally gasped out loud.

Lindsay Morris | “‘You Are You’ @ClampArt,” Collector Daily
From Loring Knoblauch’s review of Lindsay Morris’ exhibition for Collector Daily:
If you walk around Lindsay Morris’ show and you don’t happen to know the backstory, it would be easy to conclude that her pictures are simply easy going summer pleasures. They’re images from camp – girls on forest hikes, walking through meadows of wildflowers, scrambling on a climbing wall, and getting dressed up for improvised fashion shows – and they’re full of the held hands and supportive groups we have come to expect from such youthful bonding experiences. I imagine that many of the people that visit this show will breeze in and out and never realize that something else is actually going on, because the nuances are so subtle.
The reality of Morris’ photographs is that nearly all of the girls in her pictures are actually boys (at least anatomically), and the camp is a special place where kids with “nonconforming gender identity” can gather and be free of the criticisms and discrimination they might normally experience. While same-sex marriage now has the approval of the nation, being a teen or tween and realizing you might be in the wrong body is likely still a source of plenty of personal uncertainty and social anxiety. So this annual camp is a kind of safe haven, where the children and their families can relax and feel empowered to be who they are (and thus the title, “You Are You”).

Lindsay Morris | “Documenting Gender Unique Children,” Juxtapoz Magazine
From Juxtapoz Magazine:
Until August 21, the series “You Are You” by photographer Lindsay Morris will be on display at ClampArt in NYC. The work documents a weekend summer camp for gender-nonconforming children and their families. Morris first attended the camp in 2007 with a loved one and began documenting the experience, which she continued for seven years after her first visit. The resulting images provide an intimate view into the lives of children who are in a safe environment where they are free to express their interpretations of gender.

Peter Berlin | “Being Peter Berlin,” The Guardian
From Dominic Rushe’s article on and interview with Peter Berlin for The Guardian:
Peter Berlin spent the 1970s and 80s lighting up the night as a gay icon. Often bare-chested and always in skintight jeans that highlighted a “talent” of epic proportions, Berlin would stalk the streets of Paris, New York and San Francisco looking for sex. Or was he? For Berlin, cruising was performance art.

Peter Berlin | “Interview,” Butt Magazine
From James Anderson’s interview with Peter Berlin in Butt Magazine:
Even during his 1970s reign as a gay sex icon, German-born Peter Berlin—not his real name—was a mysterious, aloof character, known as the Greta Garbo of Porn. He made and starred in only two commercially released films: “Nights in Black Leather” and “That Boy.” But these, along with erotic photographs he took of himself, and sold via mail order, ensured adoration from fans around the world, not least the likes of Robert Mapplethorpe, Rudolph Nureyev and Andy Warhol. For Peter, however, the initial thrill of fame quickly wore off. Now in his sixties, he lives quietly in San Francisco—his home for thirty years—and watches a lot of TV. It took ages to arrange to speak with Peter—he rarely answers the phone.
