Kayleigh Morin started as an artist frustrated that drawing could not capture light the way she wanted. Self portraits led to photographing others, and a lifelong love of fashion pulled her toward it as a genre. Her black and white work leans into high contrast, a deliberate choice she says mirrors her own emotional range.…
A color editing tool for black and white photography sounds like a contradiction. It is not. It is one of the most precise, powerful ways to expand tonal separation in a monochrome image, and it is closer to traditional darkroom craft than most photographers realize.

You spent real time with a subject. You understood something about it a viewer never will just from looking. Do you tell them, or do you let the image speak for itself and trust them to find their own way in.
Leighton Phillips describes his work as Urban Still Life, drawn to the mundane, the ignored, and the visually familiar rather than anything conventionally beautiful. His black and white style emerged gradually, shaped by a belief that removing color lets light and tone carry the emotional weight of a scene. We asked him about a dying…
A retired rabbi turned street photographer stumbled onto a Brooklyn Chabad camp trip on a ferry to Governors Island. What he found was less about religious difference and more about what a hundred kids look like on a field trip.
