Shot in 2012 and 2013, Paola de Pietri's (born 1960) understated photographs of individuals depicted against the backdrop of dusty construction sites and newly finished buildings in Istanbul focus on the impact of the city's rapidly changing landscape on the lives and minds of its people.

In a remote landscape near Bordeaux, Mona Kuhn owns a little house: simple, bare and even without electricity. Kuhn travels here each year to entertain family and friends as they drop by. Bordeaux Series contains portraits of these people dear to Kuhn made over the last four years, as well as landscape photographs. Kuhn photographs her subjects in the same room with a red fabric backdrop and a chair, so that the nudity of each sitter is the only indication of his or her idiosyncrasies. A sequel to Kuhn's Native (2009), Bordeaux Series is a sensual exploration of the contemporary nude.
