The 7th version of this worldwide competition of pictures held in Tuscany, Italy offers an impressive and eclectic line-up of work from around the globe.
My picks are former Obama photographer Pete Souza’s Obama: An Intimate Portrait, which is a real treat, providing a rare personal insight into the former President during his eight years in the White House.

This is an exhibition I wish I may want to see. If you're in Arles, experience it for me! Michael Wolf's work on residing in towns is chic. Here is a totally brief selection from this outstanding retrospective starting with images from Hong Kong (above) from in which I've simply again and providing paintings from his Paris Rooftops collection and Tokyo Compression.

Rob Love & SoonHoe - Luminosity & Momentum

Love’s colour work draws on the relationship between water and light, his canvas Brighton beach in Melbourne. In contrast, SoonHoe’s black and white work was created on the shores of Malaysia’s fishing islands. Both artists focus on creating their images in-camera, with little post-production. It’s an interesting show worth checking out to see what the work looks like on the walls.
