Elizabeth and Freddy were tired of being fat. Both 16-year-olds had been trying to lose weight since elementary school, but diets never made a difference. At 5-ft. 5-in., 291-lb. and 6-ft. 1-in. 345-lb respectively, the teenagers were undeniably obese and at risk for hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea, and Type 2 diabetes. Freddy had gained 40 lb. a year for the last three years.
In the past 30 years, obesity rates among U.S. children have more than tripled. Our national dialogue focuses on obesity prevention, but what do we do for kids who have already gained the weight? Freddy and Elizabeth chose to attend Wellspring Academy, a...

Nothing is more natural than expressing oneself. Anger, joy, hopes, desires ... the body is the place of a thousand statements. "The ground is given" is the place for body languages where bodies are to say without restraint.
Australia's desert sands were blown to the oceanside by winds travelling at 65 km/h. This is the first time since 70 years that such an event takes place.
On Wednesday September 23, 2009, a large stretch of Australia's East coast, including Sydney, was shrouded in red dust blown from the Outback desert. Oculi photographers Tamara Dean, Dean Sewell, James Brickwood and Nick Moir photographed this unreal red-tinted atmosphere.
Agence Vu is offering here a photographic journey around the theme of love. Love...so many forms, so many imaginaries, so many stories for this human feeling. Well-known yet mysterious.
« In recent history, it is very rare that a nation of photographers have documented themselves the historical upheavals that their people lived. By putting together images of Chinese photographers of Agence VU on the 55 days of mad hope for freedom, then, the bloody drama, which have shaken China, it is primarily a testimony. But it is also a proof that the Chinese photographers took part in the democratic movement. From the earliest days of suppression, the Chinese government announced they were using television and photographic images collected by the Occident to identify and stop the protesters. From the beginning of the events, all of Occident television footage transmitted by satellite...

Irmeli Jung has been following singer Juliette Greco since their first meeting in 1972. These pictures reflect a 35-year-old friendship.
These 30 years of meetings made of photographs and talks are punctuated by the exchange that took place between the photographer and her subject…between the singer, the one who observed and fixed her face, her eyes.

Agence Vu’ photographers give you their vision of the ones who are major actors of this world.
"Personally, I didn't want to take any pictures in a western way, no aesthetic pictures with nice colours, the kind of images that is too much seen in the media. It would have seemed obscene. So I rented this camera as an integral part of the decor: a big Polaroid camera with curtain and tripod, a very slow one. As a child, I was seeing photographers mumbling behind their lens and I thought it was magic words. Today, I know they were calculating the shutter speed according to the light, but children are still believing they are magic words. With this camera, I wanted to take "ID photos" of Kabul."

VU MAG
The creation of the review VU MAG opens a new page in the history of the Agency and of the Gallery VU's commitment for author photography.
The review will propose twice a year a space for the exploration of the possible relations between photography and the printed page, a new opportunity to demonstrate that rôle of discoverer and relay attached to the Agency since the beginning.
At a time where anyone can make an image and transfer it immediately, at a time where we are taken in a flow of images, from time to time recreational, informative, legator, commercial... the relevance of particular eyes, looking to question and understand the world are more than ever essentials. Because they don't stick, to imagery, because they ask us to look further and to see better.
If it's necessary to tell the facts, the chaos, the pains, the dramas of the planet, it's just as necessary to interrogate oneselft and to visualize the feelings, complex, that drive the people confronted to world more and more difficult to understand and to live in.Through their rigorous approach, because they are moved by a deep necessity, the photographers of Agence VU' and of the Gallery register in a long tradition of photography, the documentary approach which funded one the values that we need more than ever, humanism.
As a nod to the combined history of press and photography, 60 years later, VU MAG opens a new page in the history of photographic commitment of the Agence VU'. For its first issue, VU MAG invits to look at photography through the idea of filiation.

C’est en parcourant six villes européennes emblématiques - Timişoara, Turin, Łódź, Dublin, Malmö et Belgrade - que les chercheurs de Notre Europe (groupe de recherche fondé par Jacques Delors en 1996) et six photographes de l’Agence VU (Cédric Gerbehaye, Pieter Ten Hoopen, Paolo Verzone, Rip Hopkins, Martin Kollar et Gilles Favier) ont cherché à comprendre la portée de ces bouleversements. Les témoignages et les images qu’ils en ont ramenés nous font apercevoir comment l’Europe se fabrique

VU MAG 2 Japon
In 1968 a group of Japanese photographers and writers proposed a new look at photography and writing by creating the magazine Provoke. The initiative came to an end in 1970 with the exhibition “First, Abandon the World of Certainty”. Like Provoke at the time of the 1968 events and the 1920s weekly VU explored in our first issue, VU MAG seeks to decompartmentalize photography. With Japan, we once again affirm our belief that a dialogue between creative forms is healthy.

Noriko Yamaguchi, Shomei Tomatsu, Ken Domon, Ryuji Miyamoto,

Agence VU' Galerie (Photo Poche n°107)
Fondée à Paris en 1986, VU' s'est définie dès sa création comme 'agence de photographes' plutôt que comme agence photographique, affirmant ainsi la spécificité des identités qui la composent. Son nom, éponyme du célèbre magazine des années 1920 qui révolutionna le concept d'illustration, suggère une filiation ambitieuse. Née dans la mouvance du quotidien Libération, elle a progressivement imposé un regard neuf et tente de préserver une 'veille iconographique' dans un déferlement ininterrompu d'images. Découvrir, diffuser, communiquer, mais aussi exposer dans une vaste galerie, les animateurs de VU' font d'une aventure collective un laboratoire permanent de réflexion sur les évolutions de la photographie ; sociale, documentaire, plasticienne, il importe de décrypter la dimension polysémique de la création contemporaine et d'interroger son traitement par les médias. De l'actualité immédiate à l'enquête au long cours, de l'oeuvre formelle au récit intimiste, les photographes de VU' dressent depuis vingt ans un panorama pluriel et mouvant de la photographie.

VU' à Paris
VU’ à Paris est une vaste campagne photographique sur la capitale qui invite à une nouvelle perception du Paris d’aujourd’hui, transformée par les regards contemporains de photographes VU’. Elle doit permettre de voir la capitale autrement, de moderniser l’image nostalgique qui domine.
Cette vision est l’occasion de souligner les détails d’une cité moderne, unique et cosmopolite à dimension internationale. Il s’agit aussi de s’interroger sur les questions liées à l’urbanité aujourd’hui.
L’ambition de ce projet consiste à faire aussi le point sur l’état de la photographie documentaire actuelle. Le choix des photographes, résolument international, se fonde sur des regards et des approches très différents, afin de générer une confrontation de styles et de produire de réelles surprises.

VU' 15 ans
Créée en 1986 à l’origine, au sein de la rédaction de Libération, l’agence Vu fête ses quinze ans.
À l’occasion de cet anniversaire, sort un volume de plus de 500 pages regroupant les travaux de 70 auteurs représentés par VU, première agence à se définir comme une " agence de photographes ".
Cet ouvrage dresse un panorama complet et diversifié des choix esthétiques de la photographie contemporaine. Il se veut également fidèle à la multitude des approches des photographes de Vu qui se caractérisent davantage par l’exigence et la cohérence interne de leur point de vue que par un " style " qui serait celui de l’agence.

Portraits de femmes, portraits de fermes
A travers le regard de douze photographes et la plume de Dominique Le Guilledoux, ce livre nous invite à un tour de France en douze étapes. Il nous fait sillonner des paysages dont la diversité est une des caractéristiques de notre pays. Il nous fait partager la vie de femmes qui travaillent, par choix de vie, pour produire le meilleur dans leur domaine.
De ce tour de France fin de siècle , je veux garder l'idée d'un équilibre, toujours tenu, entre le fond et la forme. D'un plaisir partagé de rencontres entre gens de mondes encore différents, et qui voulaient se comprendre pour permettre à d'autres de savoir un peu.
Parce que, dans nos sociétés fondamentalement urbaines, mais qui bénéficient du travail des ruraux, la campagne est encore perçue, par ceux qui ne l'ont pas connue vraiment, comme si elle était restée au temps de Madame de Sévigné. Parce que la vision nostalgique de la bergère d'antan trayant Brunette dans le champ, assise sur un tabouret, est aussi erronée que la perception clinique et aseptisée d'une agriculture moderne devenue industrie.

Over the years this photographic project undertaken in Rimini in Italy, and in Brighton in England in summer 1994, was later to take Albert et Verzone from Tysoland in Sweden to Jurmala in Latvia, by way of Nice in France, Venus and Neptune in Romania and Ibiza in Spain. Albert and Verzone are aiming to create a large gallery of portraits of Europeans on the beach. In theory one beach is very much like another, in the same way that all of the people who go there are very much alike. You go to the beach to relax and lounge about, often when you are on your holidays or sometimes after a long...
A camera can be a time machine. Through the art of photography, past, present, and future coincide to challenge our concept of time, change, and progress. This has become the backbone of our Moscow portrait series, a collaboration between two photographs spanning two decades. We completed the first installment, a collection of black-and-white portraits, in September 1991, two weeks after the August coup d'état that contributed to the USSR's collapse.\r\rEquipped with a sign explaining in Russian that would we were looking for people to pose for us, we sought out pedestrians between 10 am and...

As Eric Besson, French minister of immigration, decided to shut down “The Jungle” and continue the deportation of immigrants, the situation in Calais became much more delicate.\rLife conditions became more difficult for the immigrants who seek refuge in these woods, and the volunteers who help them are prevented form doing so.\r
Aid continues for these people in the form of clothes, medicine, hot meals and activism, yet the hope for the situation to reach a peaceable solution is fading.
As part of a group exhibition entitled "In the Margin" the work of Brigitte Grignet, Cedric Gerbehaye, Gert Jochems, Gael Turine and Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt are exposed in the Museum Dr. Guislain.\r\r"In the Margin" is a top of selection of 22 Belgian documentary photographers who subscribe to this history one way or another and shed light on the 'other side' of existence : the aberrant, the delinquent, the extraordinary, the unobserved and the crude. 'In the margin' refers to the photographer himself who operates in this margin, who focuses on photograph in a 'different', self-willed way as...
In this 10th edition of Nicephore+170, International Festival of Photography, exhibitions dialogue with images. Jane Atwwod's "Landmines" is confronted with "Esthetic is beautiful" of Steeve Iunker in the category "Causes and effects".\rEvery year between 15,000 and 20,000 people are killed and mutilated by landmines, most of them are civilians and many of them are children. The mines are deliberately manufactured to maim their victims. Between 2000 and 2003, Jane Evelyn Atwood met and photographed victims of landmines. She went , on behalf of Handicap International, to Cambodia, Mozambic,...
"Land – Country Life in the Urban Age" is the new thematic of the Noorderlicht International Photofestival 2010. It shows that the city and countryside have developed a symbiotic relationship. The city is the focus of economic and social activity; the country supports it. The consequences are far-reaching. Agriculture is oriented to large-scale production at minimal cost, the growing demand for agricultural products accelerates the destruction of the tropical rain forest, whole regions are allocated new uses as the result of increasing need for water, while the intensification of production...

There are at least as much as Asies different that photographic approaches. And in these times of globalization, those which are most rooted in their cultural traditions coexist with those which confront or slip in aesthetic debates that cross all the continents. We do not claim to reflect the richness and diversity of what looks propose sweeping an area as vast and as diverse. Simply by bringing together across borders some significant artists of contemporary practices we try to ask questions that now arise, as crops in photography. So, in very different styles of a Chinese questioned one of...
We are living in a time of opening, of broadening horizons. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans have been able to uproot themselves from their familiar surroundings, in order to go live, work and study elsewhere. Pushed by necessity, but also driven by curiosity, they come to understand other ways of living and thinking. They renegotiate their primary identities ; they form and transform themselves. Nearly twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, four years after the enlargement of May 2004, these transformations have acquired dimensions the full extent of which we haven’t yet been able...

Mexique, représentée en France par l'agence VU, elle explore en photographie
noir et blanc des monde obscurs où la lumière peine à se frayer un chemin.
Ce désir qui l'a conduit dans le territoire de la frontière du Mexique et des

de la lumière a semble t-il été moteur dans la démarche. Cette terre du nord
