#64 - Silhouette
kacper kowalskipopel coumouFebruary 7th, 2020A silhouette is a form of abstraction: a deduced entity, of which we can recognise only the most basic shape. But does its contours mask or reveal the true nature of something?In this issue of GUP Magazine, we acknowledge the wide variety of conceptual approaches to abstract photography. Whether...

#63 - Portraits of Life
pieter hugojose luis cuevasOctober 24th, 2019Photography has the ability to satiate our curiosity for situations completely different from what we’re familiar with.

sohrab huragregory halpernAugust 22nd, 2019Attention is often concentrated on the centre of things, but what happens further away from the limelight?

#59 - Pseudo
October 25th, 2018We have come to accept this hard fact: photography wasn’t guileless from the very start.It might have been a bit naive to trust in the age-old concepts of objectivity and transparency, or the idea that photography always tells the absolute and unquestionable truth. Yet the ‘post-truths’ that we...

#58 - Delicate
max pinckerslaura stevensAugust 17th, 2018A photograph is always a delicate object. Paper can tear, ink can fade, and even a digital image isn’t safe: hard drives can crash.Instead of fearing this inherent delicacy, some photographers featured in this issue embrace it and at times even use it to their advantage. As Tiane Doan na...

#57 — Ideal
luigi ghirrilorenzo vitturiApril 30th, 2018Ours is a peculiar time, when the line between the news and soap operas is blurring; when the differences between fact and fiction, and artifice and reality, are being called into question.

#56 — Transition
yan kallendavid lachapelleFebruary 14th, 2018Let’s not get too curled up and cosy with the status quo. Things change. And while it may be comfortable to romanticise the past, or live in the now, or look forward to the future, each of these perspectives takes for granted that points in time are fixed. A photo likewise gives us this...

#55 — Wonder
alexandra lethbridgemichael bensonNovember 22nd, 2017Life is full of little mysteries. While we often approach photography as something descriptive or explanatory, the truth is that it doesn’t need to be either. Photos can also present to us a scene inexplicable. And isn’t it wonderful, to interact with something that doesn’t reveal itself...

#54 — Playful
max pinckersmiles aldridgeAugust 23rd, 2017We of the photo world often find ourselves existing simultaneously at different points on the spectrum between work and play. Whether speaking of the practice of photo making, or about photos themselves, we can find ourselves asking: Is this playfully serious or seriously playful? GUP#54 has the...

#53 — Infinity
osheen harruthoonyankatrin koenningMay 17th, 2017Where do we begin, when we talk about infinity? Where do we end? Or, is that looking at it the wrong way entirely, because we’ve already been doing it, and will always continue, forever?GUP#53 looks towards the infinite, the concept of the immeasurable and the unending. We've got a full-length...

#52 — Mirror
jehad ngamarta zgierskaFebruary 15th, 2017Photography tends to take one of two forms: a mirror of the interior self, or a window to the external world. And through the looking glass, photographers present to us some version of themselves, hoping we will see what they see. Or, at least, what they want us to see. GUP#52 looks at the...

#51 — Rituals
roger ballenalena zhandarovaNovember 23rd, 2016Each morning we wake up, with countless possibilities of how to spend our conscious hours. And yet, there are some actions which we feel compelled to repeat, intentionally, rather than seeking out the new. Why? What is it that we generate in ourselves, in our existence and in our society that is...

#50 — Hidden Gems
jean marc caimikanako satoAugust 17th, 2016You never know when you'll stumble upon a gem, and these days, photographic gems might not have the space and the visibility they deserve, now that we find ourselves in a constant state of image overflow. We don't want to take images for granted and we don't want images to become invisible just...

#49 — Intimacy
edgar martinslaia abrilMay 18th, 2016As living creatures, each of us has a different threshold for experiencing intimacy, the pressure point where we start to feel a connection with such clarity and intensity that the sudden exposure of ourselves almost burns. Like sensitivity to the sun, for some of us, even a grazing of the skin...

#48 — Mixing It Up
ksenia yurkovaalejandro chaskielbergFebruary 17th, 2016Let’s not play this too safe. It’s easy to talk about photography like it’s just one thing, but that’s not really an accurate picture. Not anymore. There’s lens-less photography, there’s camera-less photography, there are photographs manipulated far beyond the ‘moment’ they were captured, there...

christian berthelotmatthew swartsMay 21st, 2015“Change alone is unchanging,” spoke the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. And so it goes. Nearly 2500 years after his death, our world is incomprehensibly changed but the truth of his statement holds steady. In GUP#45, we look at the way things change over time: evolution. Whether the...

#44 — Raw
eva stenrammike brodieFebruary 18th, 2015In GUP#44, we open our own investigation into the meaning of "raw" photography, one of those words that we all throw around assuming the meaning is clear, until we realise we've been talking about different things. Seemingly one of the highest compliments to be bestowed on a photographic series,...
