Aerial series by Chris Sattlberger

January 16, 2022 by platformphotoorg

Hi Chris, was your first aerial photograph for leisure or assignment? How did you get into aerial photography?  I have always loved to fly and very nearly became an airline pilot. I cannot remember exactly, but I think I shot my first aerial image on a commercial flight to Lima/ Peru over the Andes in the late 70s. This was long before I became a photographer and was purely for pleasure.  To you, what sets aerial shoots apart from other […]

Boguslaw Maslak presents “Pilgrims & Sadhus”

December 29, 2021 by platformphotoorg

platformPHOTO: Hi Bobby, please tell us what inspired you to create this series? Boguslaw Maslak: Initially, they were the numbers.

Every 12 circles, however, namely every […]

The Sun by Noguchi Rika

Work by Christian Hopkins

December 12, 2021 by platformphotoorg

We at platform PHOTO recently had the pleasure of interviewing young photographer Christian Hopkins, whose images experiment with combining self-portraiture and conceptual techniques, achieving dramatic and emotive results. Christian’s path into the photographic world was instigated when he received a camera as a gift and despite his reservations, forced himself to start photographing. Photography made him see the world in a more beautiful light and soon became a tool for Christian in battling his demons, providing a form of therapy […]

One Love by Levon Biss

December 9, 2021 by platformphotoorg

The One Love project is a photographic study of the game of soccer.  In 2005, Levon travelled the globe documenting football culture, from small children in the mountains of Peru to professionals playing for their country. “For me the hot dog seller outside the ground is as much part of football culture as the player or the fan.  In total I covered 28 countries over 6 continents.   I used to arrive in a country for a big game and shoot that, both pitch side […]

The Young Earth by Jordan Sullivan

September 7, 2021 by platformphotoorg

Shot on 35mm and polaroid, the story follows two Americans in the last days of their twenties, one them terminally ill, as they explore one of the youngest bodies of land in the world. The men immerse themselves in the idyllic and remote corners of the Icelandic countryside (a place completely foreign to both men), where they are forced to confront their own mortality and […]

El Salvador by Giles Clarke

September 2, 2021 by platformphotoorg

In San Salvador, the two main street gangs are known as ‘Mara Salvatruchas’ (MS-13) and ‘Barrio18’ (M18). Both gangs were created in the 1980’s in Los Angeles by poor, mostly illegal immigrants, who had escaped from the civil war in El Salvador. After this brutal civil war had finished and a peace treaty was signed in 1992, many of those in prison for gang-related offenses were deported back to El Salvador where this violent street culture took off.  For close to twenty […]
