Jocelyn Bain Hogg's 'The Family'

Posted by Daylight Books on 2012-02-16

Foto8 has partnered with Jocelyn Bain Hogg to publish and release his new book 'The Family', a story that shows the lifestyle of one of Londons most notorious familes, The Pyles. With his camera, Jocelyn Bain Hogg goes deep into the lives of Joe Pyle and his brothers, revealing the darker side of London and the crime families that are present within it. Its interesting that in a time with heightened security and attention to safety, Bain Hogg has found that not much has changed within modern London.

"The 18th century artist and reformer William Hogarth set the precendent for documenting this dark underbelly of society and in the 21st century Britain, little has changed." -Jocelyn Bain Hogg

There will also be a gallery exhibition of 'The Family' at the Foto 8 Gallery from December 9th to January 24th.

Happy Valentine's Day! "The Loving Story," Photographs by Grey Villet, on View at ICP

Posted by Daylight Books on 2012-02-14

Forty-five years ago, in 1967, Richard and Mildred Loving were arrested in their home in the middle of the night, 5 weeks after their marriage. The Lovings were living in Virginia, one of several states at the time that banned inter-racial marriages, and they were forced to move out of state and relocate to DC.

The Lovings sued the state of Virginia; their case was eventually heard by the Supreme Court, which declared all state laws banning inter-racial marriages unconstitutional. LIFE photographer Grey Villet visited the couple at their home in Virginia, before the outcome of the Supreme Court case, where they had secretly moved into another county in order to be closer to their family. His intimate photographs of the Lovings and their children are a beautiful portrait of their love for each other in the midst of so much turmoil.

Villet's photographs were discovered by director Nancy Buirski, who founded the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, NC, and featured in her documentary, The Loving Story. The photographs are on view at the International Center of Photography in New York until May 6, 2012.
