Chini by Argentinian-born Irina Werning. Don’t miss her Back to the Future series.
“Chini is my friend’s Chinese Crested dog. She came into my life in London, 2008 when my friends asked me to look after their house and three dogs for a month while on holidays. I had never lived with dogs, I hardly even noticed their presence until one day I took Chini into a friend’s studio. I took some pictures of her and the following day, CHINI PROJECT began. For a year, I photographed her inside the little sets I would build for her where she was free to act our little human ways. Her photographic journey takes us into the very heart of the human comedy.”

Sofia Loren by Ron Galella. Celebrities Being Themselves.
I’ve never appreciated paparazzi photographs until I discovered Ron Galella’s work.His favourite celebrity was Jackie O. ” She made me a paparazzo by giving me the qualities I looked for; no make-up, no hairdo, no stopping and posing; spontaneous, off-guard, no appointments. I call it the only game.”
One of the early masters of colour photography, Fred Herzog
“Strangers Passing” by Joel Sternfeld
“Despite the information contained in how we look, we could be almost anybody. And if we tend to hate people who pigeonhole us based on appearances, we’re also grateful when someone sees us accurately without summing up too comfortably. Sternfeld is that kind of observer; he sees, but he leaves the conclusions up to others — to history, maybe, or to God. Neither the best nor the worst that a person can be is ruled out automatically. On the questions of the content of a particular human soul, he maintains a strong agnosticism.”
