Your favorite monthly discoveries of October

Here is a focus on three of your favorite discoveries presented last October on Fisheye’s website.

1. Brandy Eve Allen

Part reality, part dream, Brandy Eve Allen likes to play with dimensions. Since 2010, she has been practicing her photography skills between self-portraits and portraits of her friends with expired film rolls which makes up her beautiful series Dreamscapes. A muse, a beautiful light or inspiring setting is all that is needed to disconnect photography from reality.

2. Sophie Harris-Taylor

Sophie Harris-Taylor, 29, discovered photography as a teenager with her disposable camera. Today, it has become her job.  Her series MTWTFSS Chapter 2 can be read as her diary, where her close friends and companion, Misha, are uncovered. Since 2010, she is guided by instinct and friendship circle: “I need to capture a certain honesty of those trivial moments. The relation between me and my models is fundamental to capture emotion and vulnerability“.© Sophie Harris-Taylor

3. Laurent Kronental 

We discovered Laurent Kronental’s work two years ago with his series Souvenir d’un futur “memory of a future – ed. He documented elders living in the large block of flats on the Parisien region. Here, he reveals the interiors of the Pablo Picasso estate and offers us an intimate and sociological crossover  in Les Yeux des tours “The eyes of the towers- ed”.
