A tool for depicting the industries that shape contemporary life, photography is also enabled by a system of extraction that often goes unseen. Now, a recent exhibition considers how American photography was forged in the mines.
The exhibition “Beneath the Surface: Mining and American Photography,” which opened last month at the Milwaukee Art Museum, draws together some 150 works across the medium’s nearly two-hundred-year trajectory. Here, we revisit Ian Bourland’s piece from Aperture’s Spring 2026 issue: “From the beginning, American practitioners worked to forge new genres of portraiture and landscape photography centered around these pockets of extraction,” writes Ian Bourland.

Presented by @belmond in partnership with @aperturefnd, This installation presents a selection of Rhodes’s (@chris.rhodes) photographs, commissioned by Belmond in 2025 as part of “As Seen By,” an ongoing series that invites contemporary photographers to interpret the company’s historic properties through their own visual languages.

From giant poodles to accidental spills, Kenya Sugai finds strange pleasures among Tokyo’s shadows.
Sugai (@kenyasugai) has been building this archive of crude coincidences for over ten years, cataloging them year by year on his website in a list simply titled “Portfolio A.” He began to practice a daily “personal training exercise” that has stuck for over a decade. This involves roaming high-traffic areas of his local ward, Setagaya, mostly the four-lane Route 246 or the Kanpachi and Kannana ring roads. He limits himself to just ten to twenty pictures a day. “The resulting images are at once abrasive and strangely seductive—a clash of beauty and ugliness frozen by an unforgiving flash,” writes Marigold Warner. “At times, the collection feels more like a catalog of the city’s textures: polished steel, rusted iron, and corrugated shutters, shot with and in between browning bushes and roots of trees breaking through the pavement.”
The latest installment of Aperture’s series “Introducing,” see our link in bio to read the full piece by Marigold Warner.

In South Central, Carlos Jaramillo celebrates the everyday beauty of his parents’ former neighborhood.
With the series “South Central” (2024–ongoing), Jaramillo (@_carlosjaramillo_) creates a luminous portrait of a Los Angeles community. Particularities of the landscape began to pulse and beckon his lens: roses growing through a chain-link fence, yellow canna lilies peeking out over a painted iron gate, girls gossiping in clusters or sitting pensively on swings, the halo of late-afternoon sun behind a stop sign. “South Central often gets mythologized through filters of grit, all orange gels and amplified grain, a visual shorthand for urban decline,” writes Christina Catherine Martinez. “By contrast, the treatment of light in Jaramillo’s work is open-ended; the neighborhood and its residents are shown not in decay but in thoughtful repose.”
See our link in bio to read the full piece, now online from Aperture’s latest issue, “Stop Time.”
