A pinhole camera has its limitations, but it also has some remarkable qualities. It is these idiosyncrasies that drew the Swedish photo-artist Peter Wiklund to the pinhole camera as his creative tool of expression. For more than a quarter of a century, he has been exploring its imaginative possibilities in order to develop a personal language of visual imagining: his own creative way of seeing.
Peter Wiklund explains more about his work and the ideas behind it in conversation with Alasdair Foster at Talking Pictures.

There is a deep sadness in the work of Luis González Palma. Growing up and as a young man his native Guatemala – a country famed for its idyllic landscape – was riven by civil war. It began before Luis went to school and ended as he was approaching forty. It is against this background of contrasts and contradictions, of beauty and violence, of terror and silence, of racism and cultural richness that his work came into being. But his concerns with sadness stem neither from a desire to sentimentalise nor to wallow in the abject; for while his images address pain and speak of sorrow, they do not counsel despair. Rather they affirm the transcendent nature of the human spirit.
Widely recognised as one of the most significant photographers from Latin America working today, Luis González Palma spoke with Alasdair Foster about the ideas and emotions underlying his work. Their conversation and his images are at Talking Pictures.
