9. Chris Honeysett

   Stirred by the photographic heritage of his native San Francisco, he worked in relative obscurity for nearly two decades — a new book reveals his vision, and shows him worthy of being discovered by a larger audience.

    Having discovered the intrigue of night-time photography — he has produced over 100 images as part of an ongoing series. The drama and the subtlety of the nocturnal light, the movement of the stars…it’s all part of this most impressive body of work.

11. Arnis Balcus

    We didn’t know Black & White Magazine could be bought in Latvia — it was only when Balcus sent us his portfolio that we knew. It’s intriguing to see that art has no borders — the fact that he turned the lens on himself in such creative ways made his submission even more eloquent.
