Foam Magazine is arguably the premier overarching publication for the international photography community. Originating from the Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam in, er, Amsterdam, Foam appears three times a year to showcase a broad range of image-making, including documentary, fashion, portrait and other genres in a mission to connect global artists, experts and enthusiasts alike. Bound using specialist photographic art papers and with an exposed seam binding, Foam is not only award-winning in its field but a handsome object in its own right. About Issue 68, from the publisher: Now in its 17th edition, the biannual Foam Talent Programme continues to make waves by introducing a new selection of outstanding image-makers from across the globe. Continuously growing in reach, this year our open call received another record-breaking 2,892 entries from 107 countries, giving Foam’s artistic team unique insights into the currents shaping today’s photographic landscape. In this issue of Foam Magazine we introduce the 15 Foam Talents and 15 Foam Talent Runners-up. Together, these 30 artists represent new directions in photography with an emphasis on work that challenges conventions and reflects the complexity of contemporary experience.
