Colleen Plumb’s new book, Animals Are Outside Today, explores the contradictory relationship between humans and other animal species. Photographs from the series are currently on view at Jen Bekman Gallery, New York. For well over a decade, the Chicago based photographer has been investigating the myriad ways that we’ve integrated animals into our lives. Her book was recently published by Radius Books.

Renate Aller has been photographing the Atlantic Ocean from a single point on the beach of eastern Long Island for over ten years. The result is a contemplative study of timelessness and the power of light. The scenes are pristine painterly images in luminous cool tones, empty of events and creatures, but still alive.

These photographs have been compiled into Oceanscapes, One View Ten Years, published by Radius Books. To see more of Aller’s work click here.
