Olivo Barbieri (born 1954) is an Italian artist and photographer of urban environments. He is recognized for his innovative technique creating miniature still photography from actual landscapes by simulating shallow depth of field via the use of tilt-shift lens photography. Barbieri's technique does not capture true shallow depth of field based on the distance of the subject from the lens, but instead simulates the effect by tilting the lens's angle to the back plane of the camera, which creates a gradual blurring at the top and bottom edges, or left and right edges of the filmed image.

Richard Billingham

Billingham studied at the University of Sunderland as a painter, and came to prominence through his candid photography of his family in Cradley Heath, a body of work later added to and published in the acclaimed book Ray's A Laugh (1996). 'Ray's a Laugh' is a portrayal of the poverty and depravation in which he grew up. The photographs, which were taken on the cheapest film he could find, provide brash colours and bad focus which adds to the authenticity and frankness of the series. Ray, his father, and his mother Liz appear at first glance as grotesque figures, with the alcoholic father drunk on his home brew, and the mother, an obese chain smoker with a fascination for nicknacks and jigsaw puzzles. However there is such integrity in this work that Ray and Liz ultimately shine through as troubled yet deeply human and touching personalities.

Joseph Mills

"The Loves of the Poets, featuring the artist's beautifully raw, disturbingly seductive collages, is a work of art unto itself. Bound in rich felt, with gold leaf stamping and gilded edges, this gorgeous artist's book features twenty-six collages that seem to be on the verge of complete revelation but time and again leave the viewer on a suspended note. The success of these images, in the words of Tucker, "lies in the fact that they are anchored in reality just enough so that we are on the edge between surreality and reality." Beautifully reproduced with antique paper backgrounds and a rich double varnish, The Loves of the Poets brings the marriage of artist and book to a new level." Nazraeli -

"From surreal photocollage imaginings of a world gone wrong to documentary street scenes, Joseph Mills? images and pictorial objects of the last twenty-five years alternate between shock and pathos, between black humor and existential dread." Paul Roth, Corcoran -
