  • Abstract, painterly image of two human figures standing side by side against a muted grey background. The figure on the left wears a dark navy garment with a bright white apron-like shape, while the figure on the right appears in a loose white dress with softly textured brown and pink tones. Both figures are heavily distorted with swirling, fluid brushstrokes that obscure facial features and dissolve their forms into the surrounding space, creating a dreamlike, ethereal atmosphere suggestive of memory, identity and impermanence.

    The Best Photography Books Every Serious Photographer Should Read (2026 Reading List)

    2026-07-06 / Comments Off on The Best Photography Books Every Serious Photographer Should Read (2026 Reading List)

    How This Reading Guide Is Organised Whether you’re studying for a BA, MA, MFA or PhD, or simply want to deepen your understanding of photography, this guide… These books will change the way you think about photography, not simply how you make photographs. One of the questions I’m asked most often by photographers preparing for postgraduate study is surprisingly simple: What should I be reading? Photography is one of those rare disciplines where the most influential books often have very little to say about cameras. Instead, they challenge how we think about images, memory, ethics, representation, politics and ultimately ourselves. Over the past few years, as I’ve developed my own…

    AI and Photography: Gianluca Ricoveri on Truth, Memory and Presence

    2026-06-29 / Comments Off on AI and Photography: Gianluca Ricoveri on Truth, Memory and Presence

    Introduction In this latest conversation for my ongoing AI and Photography interview series, I speak with Italian photographer and artist Gianluca Ricoveri, whose work many readers will already know through TheAppWhisperer and our print store, where I have the privilege of representing his collection. Gianluca’s photographs – from his contemplative Tuscan landscapes to his richly observed botanical studies – have long carried a profound sense of stillness, intimacy and emotional attention. That quality feels especially relevant within this discussion on artificial intelligence. Gianluca’s images are rooted in observation, patience and lived experience – qualities that increasingly feel at odds with the speed and synthetic fluency of AI-generated imagery. His work…

    Best Photography Residencies 2026: 8 Artist Retreats to Apply For

    2026-06-26 / Comments Off on Best Photography Residencies 2026: 8 Artist Retreats to Apply For

    Best Photography Residencies and Artist Retreats for Photographers in 2026 One thing I have learnt since beginning my career as a photojournalist in 1997 is that sometimes the most valuable thing a photographer can receive is not money, nor publication, nor even recognition. It is time. Time away from expectation. Time away from the relentless pressure to produce, upload and perform. Time away from trends, algorithms and the increasingly accelerated cycle of contemporary image-making. Time to think, to experiment, to fail and to return to an idea without feeling the need to explain it before it has fully formed. That, for me, is where residencies become important. Over the years…

    “The Imperfect Human Hand May Become the Most Radical Artistic Gesture of All” — Jane Schultz on AI and Photography

    2026-06-12 / Comments Off on “The Imperfect Human Hand May Become the Most Radical Artistic Gesture of All” — Jane Schultz on AI and Photography

    Over the years, through TheAppWhisperer, I have had the privilege of not only publishing the work of some of the world’s most influential mobile artists but also forming genuine friendships with many of them. Jane Schultz is one of those artists. I first met Jane and her husband, Dave,  in London some years ago, and what struck me immediately was her depth of thought, her warmth, and her unwavering commitment to authentic creative practice. Jane has long been one of the most respected voices within the mobile art community, creating work that is emotionally rich, layered and deeply personal. Jane is also one of the artists I represent through TheAppWhisperer…

    Best Photography Competitions and Awards to Enter in 2026

    2026-06-11 / Comments Off on Best Photography Competitions and Awards to Enter in 2026

    As someone who has worked within photography, journalism and publishing since 1997 and spent almost two decades building and editing TheAppWhisperer, I am often asked whether photography competitions are worth entering. My answer is usually the same: the right competition can be transformative, while the wrong one can be an expensive disappointment. Over the years, I have interviewed hundreds of photographers, reviewed portfolios, followed careers as they developed and watched photographers move from relative obscurity to international recognition. In many cases, a respected competition or award provided the breakthrough that helped their work reach a much wider audience. At the same time, I have seen photographers spend considerable sums entering…
