Animal Portraits by Nine Francois
Nine Francois is a photographer based in Austin, Texas. Her work has been represented internationally in publications such as Communication Arts, Foto&Video (Moscow) and The British Journal of Photography. About her series, Animal, Francois writes:
‘My original intention was to create an alphabet book (“A” is for Armadillo) for children that would appeal to their zany sensibilities and delightfully skewered perspectives. While this project is still active, it has developed into a larger concept linking animal imagery and the development of language, specifically in children. This expanded project is currently underway and incorporates text with the imagery that you see here.
In the meantime, I have traveled far and wide to collect these animals. So far, I’ve photographed vicious bunnies, amorous tigers, wise old owls, man-eating turtles, noble armadillos, charging elephants and crazy chickens. It is exhilarating, challenging and sometimes scary. Over the years, I’ve learned how to get close, work fast, hold my ground in some cases, and run like hell in others. I enjoy the “hunt” so to speak and the joy of sometimes getting it just right’.

Here comes the Neighborhood
Legendary photographer Martha Cooper has been documenting graffiti and graffiti writers since the late 1970s. Her and Henry Chalfant’s book “Subway Art”, originally published in 1984, was largely responsible for the globalization of graffiti. She has remained a fixture in the community and culture, and has been documenting the Wynwood Walls since the project began in 2009. Her photos tell the story of the Wynwood Walls from its inception to expansion, and all of the artists and their respective works. In graffiti and street art, nothing is permanent, even commissioned walls. Because of the temporary nature of the medium, Martha’s photos outlast almost every piece of graffiti or street art itself.

Attraction by Renaud Marion
– the fear of missing out on something amazing is just too devastating to contemplate. French photographer Renaud Marion has played with that idea, taking photographs of street performers and replacing the men and women wowing the crowds with zoo animals. The extraordinary urban interlopers include a rhino, giraffes and a bear, and question the way in which modern society views the natural world.
