The Afghan Box Camera Project provides a record of the kamra-e-faoree (instant camera) which as a living form of photography is on the brink of disappearing in Afghanistan.

In this video, Qalam Nabi, one of the last two remaining box camera photographers in Kabul demonstrates how to use his camera.

Bruce Gilden at work from Multistory on Vimeo.

In 2013, Multistory invited American photographer Bruce Gilden to continue his 'Face' series in the Black Country, where he worked in colour for the first time in over fifty years. Bruce’s idea was to focus his lens on what he calls “the left behind”; the “invisible people” who are often on the periphery, under presented and marginalised.

Working in the tradition of ‘street photography’, Bruce was accompanied by his own assistant, and a researcher / ‘fixer’ from Multistory, to meet people and to take close-up portraits on the streets of West Bromwich, Dudley and Wolverhampton from 2013 to 2014.

Bruce’s Black Country Faces will be exhibited at a special venue later in 2016. In the mean time, a selection of his work can be viewed at the Barbican’s Strange and Familiar exhibition until 19 June, 2016.

Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden is a street photographer who has travelled and exhibited widely around the world. He has received numerous awards, including the European Award for Photography, three National Endowment for the Arts fellowships and a Japan Foundation fellowship. He lives in New York.

Ryan Muirhead | A Film by James John from James John on Vimeo.

I sat down with Portland based film photographer Ryan Muirhead and we spoke about Depression, Anxiety, Suicide, and his journey into becoming the well known photographer that Ryan is today.

Making this documentary style interview film with Ryan was a moving and much needed experience for me. I got into film making to connect with people and share stories to help eachother, along the way I lost my direction and hit a huge emotional challenge, but it was needed, I needed to stop and look at my map.

Ryan tells an insightful story about his journey through depression and his daily battle with anxiety in this film, and we learn a lot more about what means to be Ryan Muirhead. Ryan is driven by photography and especially film photography helps him cope through his challenging times. Talking, Hanging, Filming with Ryan and making this film helped me to reconnect with my passions and meanings. My SSD drive failed while finishing this project, so this was actually meant to be the 1st cut what you are seeing, but here it is.

I hope you enjoy the film.
