"Jim Casper, Editor and Publisher
Lens Culture, Paris, France and Berkeley, California USA
www.lensculture.com

Lens Culture is the world’s most popular online magazine about international contemporary photography, attracting more than one million unique visitors per year from more than 100 countries worldwide. Since early 2004, Jim Casper has edited and published Lens Culture; including writing articles, essays and criticism about photography; conducting, recording and publishing audio interviews with important photographers; and participating in portfolio reviews, conferences and photography festivals worldwide. Mr. Casper also serves on the board of directors of San Francisco’s PhotoAlliance, a non-profit educational organization. Prior to Lens Culture, Mr. Casper was founder and president of an international branding and design firm based in Berkeley, California for 20 years.

Several photographers whose work has first appeared in Lens Culture have since gained worldwide recognition, including new gallery representation, participation in solo and group exhibitions, promotion and profiles in high quality regional and international magazines and newspapers, commissions for new work, and sales of their artwork.

Mr. Casper is especially interested in exploring contemporary photography and how it interacts and overlaps with other art forms, mass media, and world cultures. Lens Culture features the work of photographers from all continents and various points of view: documentary, fine art, photojournalism, multimedia, lyrical, personal, abstract, human, and street photography. He is not particularly interested in commercial photography, fashion, stock, or work that relies largely on digital manipulation (except for digital multimedia/projections with sound).

In addition to being able to publish and promote a photographer’s work worldwide, Mr. Casper is known to be an insightful and honest reviewer of portfolios, offering useful and practical advice, as well as introductions and referrals to other photography professionals."
