Fine Art photographer Jessica Hilltout travelled to the mysterious African island of Madagascar. The stunning results can be seen in her latest body of work, IMPERFECTION.
Beautiful colour…subtle tones….clarity of vision…all of these things attracted me to Jessica Hilltout’s IMPERFECTION series of photos. Then I realised that the photographer was someone that I went to college with. It’s interesting to see how people have progressed since that time, how their photographic vision has matured, what paths their careers have taken, what places they’ve been to.
In college I never thought about the future, or where we would all be in ten years. Jessica’s life journey is particularly interesting because it involves my two passions – travel and photography. And it’s always nice to see someone succeeding. Her photos are beautiful – enjoy them.

I came across Mitchell Kanashkevich’s work after following a link from the Travel Photographer blog and I was blown away by the atmospheric quality of his Sulfur Miners photos. They were so good that I instantly knew that this was a photographer that I wanted to interview. I also recommend that you check out Mitchell’s blog.

Photojournalist Charlie Mahoney documented the lives of African immigrants living rough on the streets in Barcelona for his Living in the Shadows project.
Thousands of Africans enter Europe every day looking for a better life. Some of them end up in Barcelona’s streets, unable to be repatriated, but without residency or the legal permits they need to work. I saw photojournalist Charlie Mahoney’s story on these people – Living in the Shadows – on the BBC website and was immediately intrigued. I’ve been to Barcelona several times but knew nothing about the lives of these unfortunate people. I decided to ask Charlie some questions about his career and the thought processes behind the story.
