Fraction is a new online photography publication. Started this month, it will be published bi-monthly featuring both new and established artists. The site's unobtrusive white design serves as a basic template that lets the photographs do the talking.
The inaugural issue features five photographers that cross the spectrum of style. Lawrence Getubig's series titled "Action Figure Cutouts" (sample above left) features dark silhouette renditions of iconic scenes from TV and film. Karen Kuehn is another of the photographers included. The photos from her series "New Mexico Artists" (above right) includes conventional portraits of artists by way of introduction when she moved to the state from New York.
Fraction is published by artists Joshua Spees and David Bram in New Mexico and photographer/writer Mary Goodwin in New York. A labor of love, Fraction has no advertisements and covers expenses with voluntary donations.

The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...

by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...

Sisters Anna and Tess Knoebel started Abe's Penny, a micro-magazine, earlier this year as subtle reminder of communication in our pre-digital days, back when receiving a postcard from a friend on holiday was the sole means of keeping tabs on their adventures. More a series of flash cards than an actual magazine, Abe's Penny is a monthly volume of four postcards ($48 for six months)...
Pushing the boundaries once again, this time Kanye West is inspiring the use of advanced imaging technology on the new cover of Complex magazine. The photograph is the result of a facial scan that gathers data from a camera that rotates around the object. A computer then stitched the images together to create an eerily detailed 2D photograph. Chris Milk, videographer and photographer behind...
