Peter Bialobrzeski, Paradise Now-18, 2008
Peter Bialobrzeski studied Politics and Sociology before he became a photographer for a local paper in his native Wolfsburg, Germany.

After having worked as a photojournalist for almost 15 years and published his works worldwide, Peter started to focus more on personal projects. He interprets his work neither as documentary nor as art but defines it as cultural practice.
NADAV KANDER | 纳达夫·坎德尔
Nadav Kander,Kurchatov and the polygon, 2011
Nadav Kander is a contemporary British-Israeli photographer known for his images of cities and landscapes, as in his photobooks Yangtze—The Long River (2010) and Dust (2012). Kander’s work often focuses on changes in society by capturing abandoned structures or those still being built. “Just showing positive, expected images of beauty an airbrushing away the conditions that make us human seems like a deception to me,” he has said. He began to take photographs using a Pentax camera in 1974, and was later drafted into the South African Army, where he worked in a dark room. In 1986, Kander moved to London where he established a photo studio and continues to live and work.
