Hotshoe Magazine at Paris Photo

Hotshoe will be returning to Paris Photo this week to launch our latest issue, Stephen Shore. Join us at the Grand Palais from Nov 13-16th, where we will be upstairs in the Book Sector at Booth K23, just next to the Book Talks.

The first living photographer to have a one-man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since Alfred Stieglitz, we are extremely fortunate to collaborate with Stephen Shore to bring you this monograph issue, including a discussion with Shore initiated by renowned photographer Todd Hido, and a text in Crude Metaphors written by Shore himself. Plus, introductions to each portfolio by art historian Dr. Tom Cornelius.

This issue features never before seen images from two of Shore’s most iconic series, Uncommon Places and American Surfaces, as well as an unpublished portfolio of aerial imagery from 1974 titled Baseball Diamonds.

Go to www.parisphoto.com to find out more about signings, Book Talks, Conversations, the Paris-Photo Aperture Book Award, and much more.

We hope to see you there!

Hotshoe is delighted to be included in Todd Hido's curation of photobooks that explore family through an intimate lens at L'Inapercu during Paris Photo. The display will feature, amongst other publications, Issue 205: At Home, Issue 211: Shooting Mum and Dad, and Issue 212: Meet The Templetons.

These works show how photographers turn their cameras toward their own relatives – whether blood relations or chosen families formed through friendship and community. The images capture moments that reveal the complexities of domestic life and kinship in its various forms. The books demonstrate different approaches – from candid snapshots to formal portraits – and show how photographing one's own family becomes both a personal archive and a way to understand relationships.

Find their website here.

And don't forget to join us on Sunday in Paris for the Process Photo Walk with Wesley Verhoeve!

And finally, we are pleased to bring you the work of Polly Hardwicke, a recent graduate from UWE, who is now represented by Serchia Gallery in Bristol. Polly is a British artist raised in London and currently living in Bristol, and her practice primarily draws on traditional studio techniques, incorporating portraiture and still life.

Distend addresses the intersection of trauma, landscape and the body, capturing how overlooked narratives are embedded in both. Rooted in Polly’s experience of illness and her diagnosis with Crohn’s disease, the photographs emerge from a ritualistic process, with landscapes acting as silent witnesses to past violences and proxies for her body. Studio sessions with others living with chronic illness became part of a shared healing process through listening and re-enactment. These images reclaim control, offer moments of catharsis, and propose alternative futures of healing. The black-and-white images are both bold and ethereal, reflective and challenging, and a testament to the emotional connection that Polly made and explored with her sitters.

Over the last three years, Christine at the Serchia Gallery has come to know Polly and her work, hosting collective degree shows and now representing Polly individually. Following her graduation, Polly has collaborated with Serchia Gallery to offer an exclusive edition five A4 giclée prints on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper taken from this poignant body of work. The prints are available to view in person at Serchia Gallery, Bristol, or please get in touch directly with the gallery if you are interested in discovering more about Polly and her practice.

More information on the gallery can be found here and more details on Polly's prints can be found here.
