Eye as a Camera explores the ways in which Emma Aars has been surrounded by the camera: growing up in a family of photographers, spending a summer modelling in New York as a teenager, and studying art writing. Drawing on the work of Ishiguro Miyaki, Nigel Shafran, Jamie Hawkesworth and others—as well as an essay on photography by the legendary Camilla Collett—Aars aims to create a visual language that sharpens the blur.
Objektiv Press was founded in 2009 and began as a biannual journal of lens based art. After ten years of exploring this format, Objektiv Press transitioned into a more book-like publication, where they let just one writer fill the pages with their real and raw opinions, writing about different trends within the medium. Since 2020, Objektiv Press has invited different people—photographers, critics, curators—to reflect on their relationship with photography through a longer essay.
Objektiv Press was founded and is run by Nina Strand. Ida Kierulf and Susanne Østby Sæther have been on the editorial board since the first issue. Brian Sholis and Lucas Blalock joined the board in 2016.
