L'organisme américain Photo-Eye, qui regroupe des éditions, un magazine et une librairie en ligne, vient de publier le portofolio d'une photographe de 30 ans, Gabriela Herman. Intitulée Bloggers, la série montre des bloggeurs nocturnes connus (Gawker, Crushable...), le visage éclairé par l'écran d'ordinateur. Elle documente ainsi une nouvelle espèce de journaliste, apparue à l'aurée des années 2000 et qui participe aujourd'hui à la vitalité d'Internet.
«It is through our screens, these beacons of light, that the world opens up and we become literally linked to one another. I began photographing bloggers with this idea in mind, giving the viewer a peek into their intimate worlds by using their screens as the sole light source. My idea was to start with one blogger and ask them to recommend the next subject from someone on their blogroll. The same way their blogs are linked to each other's online, the photos would be linked to each other in the series.

By looking at connectivity in this digital age and the ways in which we live and spend our time, this series shows how from these dark corners, bloggers are adding value to and changing the way people interact in the world. » — Gabriela Herman
