Tokyo: Ken Miller’s PICTURES

Munich: Firstlines Gallery & Maximilian Geuter

Represented by Munich’s flag bearer of independent art, Florian Hubalek’s Firstlines, the photographer Maximilian Geuter's aims to create an insight into the world of a contemporary, individual person. Soaking up impressions you collect, then shaking and mixing it up, presenting that aura in a condensed, aesthetic form. His work includes portraits of contemporaries as well as landscape and stillife photography. Geuter is fascinated by the diversity that you can´t escape from and one that forms all of us, everyday. “It´s about what I´m about, what interests and shapes me, simple as that,” says Geuter.

Shanghai: The World of Chen Man

As one of the most celebrated fashion photographers in China, 31-year-old Chen Man is being honoured with a certified solo exhibition (that runs to February 2nd) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai, a retrospective of work that spans almost a decade, from her theatrical, optimistic and hypercoloured work for the forward thinking Chinese cultural magazine Vision, through to photos for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. With a striding imagination and sense of fantasy, Chen Man's imagery exaggerates the subjects' personality and sensuality, with an aesthetic vision unlike any other young artist in China.

Paris: Yann Stofer

Yann Stofer is probably better known as a member of the Parisian indie rock dons Adam Kesher, but it’s his solo excursions as a photographer that is rapidly gaining him further afield fans. Capturing life on the road as well as girls, friends, fashion editorials and artists' portraits for the likes of Glamour, Clark, Fool House and Le Coq Sportif, Yann Stofer's work is both intimate and still, natural yet charasmatic. He's recently shot two brilliantly haunting and still landscape images for a special Posterism edition of Kaiserin magazine , the Parisian bi-annual supporting emerging creative talent.
