Collecting oneself—and a few others besides in the Victoria & Albert Museum Photographic Department

The South African photographer talks about his work, techniques and latest book

Not a study or a technical collection, but works of art for display

Cooper is mapping out a metaphysical space with his images of oceans, forests, rocks and sky

The German photographer compares his serial working method to “a scientist carrying out a series of experiments”
