ASMP’s Best Of 2015 is a celebration of 24 photographers from 12 chapters in the U.S. who, combined, shoot a range of commercial, editorial, fine-art, documentary and personal work.
In ASMP’s Best Of 2015, you’ll see conceptual work from photographers such as Patrick Heagney, who creates transformative paper worlds, and Lynne Fyffe, who employs clever visual puns in her beverage work. Much of the portrait work considers the diversity and legacy of American culture, from Dolly Faibyshev’s exploration of the American Dream, to Forest McMullin’s series on black cowboys, to the documentation of American veterans in two separate personal series by Mariah Karson and John Slemp. There are some canine contributors this year, too: Luke Copping and Fred Levy each used their cameras to assist in finding homes for shelter dogs, while Hannele Lahti enlisted seven pups to help rip apart stuffed toys for her series.
We thank each ASMP member who submitted work to this year’s Best Of. All work entered during the call-for-submissions period is considered for coverage in subsequent issues of the <i>ASMP Bulletin</i>. We look forward to seeing your new work in the coming year!
