Joshua Paul and Felipe Dupouy
Joshua Paul’s photographs are built on his belief that even today, the world still retains its romance. Out of that belief he has become one of the foremost travel photographers in America. For his series “The Arctic,” he crossed the frozen ice of the 900 mile Northwest Passage on a military icebreaking ship. Drawing his influences from the early documentary work of Lartrigue, Kertesz and Cartier-Bresson, Paul’s vision of the Arctic Ocean gives the viewer a true sense of what it means to experience the sound, texture and color of ice, salt, wind and sea.
...
Every bit as passionate, Felipe Dupouy's world revolves around a love of three things: surfing, riding his motorcycle and taking pictures. It’s all about adventure. Photography is another way of asking, “what's around the next corner?” Dupouy’s most recent body of photographs, “Bird Flew”, was shot in downtown Los Angeles, and it is his most abstract work to date. Working with a muted palette, “Bird Flew” locates elements of nature in an urban ecosystem. In contrast to his early work documenting the beauty amid erosion of a city environment, “Bird Flew” reflects a nature dominating the man-made world and thriving in spite of it.
