Dara Scully is a Spanish photographer creating universes of fantasy. Her series called “your branches/my bones”, “exposed to the ghosts”, “escaping from the wolves”, “bluebird’s heart”, “little dreamers”, or “winter in my bones” are great compositions on polaroid or analogic film where she plays with her body, often naked, the nature, animals with a cinematic style of visual poetry. She is developping a style becoming mature and that I find darker year after year, involving more narrative mystery.
Dara Scully is also editor of two fantastic reviews on Issuu: “Cuaderno de vuelo”, a sort of illustration fanzine about birds and “December Birds” a book of stories with photographs and illustrations featuring various interesting artists.

Sannah Kvist is an artist, freelance photographer and photo editor based in Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden. She has great series of pictures shot on familiar landscapes or with friends. I noticed the series “all I own” in which the participants, who are students born in the 80′s, compose a sort of natural set with all they own. This reminds me of “Material world, a global family portrait” a book by Peter Menzel (1994) who captured the material life of average families around the globe, offering extraordinary images of families in front of their dwellings with all of their possessions. Sannah Kvist is refreshing this idea with an intimate look on students in her country.
