MOlly matalon

A Tulip in Oakland, 2017

This photograph is from a period of time when I was living in Oakland, CA and was making a lot of personal work. I always like to have flowers and other organic objects in the house to meditate on possibly photographing. — Molly Matalon

Peace Ice Sculpture #3, 2018

For this image I commissioned a renowned Japanese ice sculptor in Queens to make this three foot sculpture of a left hand making a peace sign. I strapped the sculpture into the front seat of my car and drove it around to different parts of Brooklyn and Queens making photographs of it as it dissolved. It took about three days for it to really disappear into an unrecognizable ice chunk because it was springtime and still a bit cold outside. — PAT O'MALLEY

corey olsen

Blue Eye Pop, 2015

This picture was made on a shoot at a high end contact lens store for Allure Magazine. The store makes custom contact lenses for Hollywood movies and had pictures of celebrities they make contacts for all over the walls. I was commissioned to photograph the store and its owner early in the morning before the store opened. I also asked my friend Emily Crist to come on her way to because I wanted to also make this specific picture. I love photographing Emily and she is a contact lens master and a great friend so it all worked out. And... and the rest is history. — COREY OLSEN

zak krevitt

Blue Wolf, 2017

In a not so distant future, it's likely that humanity will need to radically alter its functionality in order to survive. Perhaps we will look to the creatures that were here before us, for cues on how to adapt. I explore these questions In a queering of the human form. By sitting with people who live and act as creatures now, I survey the possibilities of a future humanity impacted by climate change while engaging with an oft misunderstood queer subculture. — ZAK KREVITT

ina jang

After Utopia, 2018

The limited edition print After Utopia, is a departure from the Utopia series in which Ina Jang focused on the passive presence of female figures found in Japanese soft pornographic magazines. The photographic structure in the work suggests experience of fleeting euphoria which has been further censored by the artist to emphasize on the challenging issues of censorship and image consumption in the age of social media. This print complements CONVOKE's publication Utopia Centerfolds At Play featuring Jang's work alongside Brandon Isralsky and Dean Sameshima.

Trevor (First Time), 2016

As a film photographer, it's very important to me that my photographs are crafted with the patience and care of medium format. You as a viewer can trust that each image is an honest moment of vulnerability captured permanently by my lens. — RYKER ALLEN

Ansel adams

View south from Manzanar to Alabama Hills, Manzanar Relocation Center, 1943

For this xXx limited edition, Joseph Maida's studio has reprinted one of Adams' signature landscapes from Adams' original vintage print to pay homage to Adams' historic work made in Manzanar, California during World War II. Similar landscapes from Adams' Manzanar portfolio are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA) — which originally exhibited Adams' Manzanar work in 1944 — as well as in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA), the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, and the Yale University Art Gallery.
