For our weekly Instagram series #TheSpaces_Selects, we pick a photographer we admire and grill them about their work.
Here are 12 of our favourites so far – photographers who play with space in unusual ways while taking you on a visual journey through their home cities, communities and public spaces…
@naaaab
Paris-based photographer Nabil Nadifi explores the effects of natural light when shooting spaces and art.
@prattdb
New Yorker Dan Pratt likes to hone in on a single thing when he’s shooting: ‘It can be how light plays across textures, how a colour interacts with its surroundings, or how a geometry might be sinister or playful,’ he says.
@Ivlvlcy
Shanghai-based Cathy / LCY is always on the hunt for spaces in which to make ‘new memories’…
@antonrodriguez
Barbican resident Anton Rodriguez captures life inside one of London’s most iconic housing estates.
@barbaraandale
For Milanese visual arts duo Barbara Ceriani Basilico and Alessandro Mancassola, natural light is the common link between their recurring subjects – abandoned buildings and people at work.
@jessicacomingore
LA photographer Jessica Comingore captures a different side of Hollywood, with negative space and natural light forming cohesive ‘red threads’ through her work.
@xiao
Chinese photographer Xiao Han will take you on a journey through the streets of Shanghai.
@th.ho
Thomas Høedholt is the art director of Norse Projects. He snaps empty spaces and interiors with a graphic simplicity.
@Londonlivingdoll

@nicolasthomaskoenig
‘I fall in love with nature over and over again but always feel excited about big buildings and city lights’, says travel photographer Nicolas König.
@marygaudin
New Zealand-born photographer Mary Gaudin lives in France. Drawn to Modernist architecture she says: ‘My aim is to try and capture the feeling of being in these spaces.’
@vicente.muñoz
Photographer Vicente Muñoz draws out the graphic quality of architecture: ‘I do mostly portraiture and architecture, so I tend to borrow from one while shooting the other.’
