Obsessed with the transformational effect of our surroundings, Annegien van Doorn has a knack for turning the banal into something extraordinary “Children treat play as an absorbing and essential aspect of their everyday relation to the world,” says Dutch photographer Annegien van Doorn. “Why do we lose this natural playfulness when we grow up?” Luckily for van Doorn, she seems to have escaped the cull; creating photographs, videos and installations with a sense of mischief. By disrupting the fabric of the everyday, she...

“I can’t think of anything more terrifying than the idea that a large part of our identity relies on facts and things we can’t control or even know exist.” As a child, Álvaro Laiz came to relate photography with travelling, fascinated by the Konica Minolta his dad would carry on holiday. So when he began travelling the world after finishing his studies, it was only fitting he took a camera with him. “I photograph what I do not understand or what scares me,” he says. “I can’t think of anything more terrifying than...

Photographer Brian Rueb was approached by two friends to shoot their wedding – a familiar proposal for many photographers. However, there was a slightly unusual twist in this case, as the couple planned to tie the knot on top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. For those unfamiliar, Half Dome is a 4,737 ft granite rock formation rising above Yosemite Valley. Anyone planning to visit the top can either climb a sheer rock wall, or make a trip up the slightly sloped east face with the help of some braided steel...

Forever 21 has unveiled what it calls the F21 Thread Screen. It’s a 2,000-pound contraption that can display any Instagram photo using 6,400 mechanical spools of thread.

read moreAnti-Drone Systems Are Starting to Take Off
Camera drones have opened a whole new world of possibilities for photographers looking for a way to capture aerial images, but the meteoric rise in drone adoption has also opened up Pandora’s box as well. Now a new industry is emerging alongside the booming drone industry: anti-drone defense systems. New technologies are being developed in order to keep drones away from places they shouldn’t be or doing things they shouldn’t do. Just last week, multiple drones kept firefighters grounded during a wildfire in Southern California. State...
