Issue 152 – Critical Mass 2021 Special Issue
We are so excited to close out 2021 with a special issue of ten powerful artists featured in Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50. It’s an honor to partner with our friends at Photolucida, who continue to work diligently to provide incredible opportunities within our photography community. We are pleased to share the works of Caleb Cole, Deana Collins, Federico Estol, Kristina Knipe, Pedro Kuperman, Vanessa Leroy, Claudia Ruiz Gustafson, Maximilian Thuemler, Melanie Walker, and Michael Young. The artists are storytellers and visionaries, each with compelling narratives, workflows, and styles, and we hope you will spend time with their portfolios. Thank you for allowing us to share your work for this special issue! Charcoal Book Club’s December book is Hafiz by Sabiha Çimen. We wish you all a happy, healthy, and restful holiday season, and we will see you in 2022!
Very best,
Leo Hsu and Bree Lamb
