In 2008, photographers Fiona Essex and Monica Takvam travelled on foot and by public transport around Wales. Five years later and they are revisiting photographs of the journey; setting out to remember the details of each picture and the people they met along the way.

What follows is an extract of their collaborative project, which is an exercise in memory and its fault lines.

One of the opening images in the latest issue comes from the work of Yiu Yu Hoi, a designer and photographer based in Hong Kong. 

Yiu's series of photos provides a peaceful vision of a city usually portrayed with frenetic intensity. He says, "By the use of infrared photography, a real yet unreal dream-like Hong Kong is captured. You will see tranquility, a slow-moving yet dreamy side of Hong Kong."

To mark the arrival of British summertime, Rekorderlig launched a photography competition called Celebrate The Sun in collaboration with Swedish photographer Agnes Thor, maker of dreamy and sun-dappled images. In praise of the sun finally coming out this weekend past (horray!) we spoke to Agnes about her career as a photographer, and how she judged Rekorderlig's photo competition.

Be sure to look out for winning entries from James Markham, Charlie Penwarden and David Cooper which will feature on Rekorderlig’s billboard campaigns across London.

How did you get in to photography?

My parents gave me a camera when I was a kid, but I’d say I got really into it during my late teens when I took my first photography course in high-school.

Sunlight is so varied across the globe; tell us a little how it's influenced your work in the different places you've photographed?

For some reason, wherever I travel or work, I always seem to seek out similar lighting conditions, though it’s way easier to shoot in countries that are further south than Sweden.

The majority of your work is shot in natural light. Do you ever use artificial light when shooting?

I do, but not really in my personal work. When I shoot still lives, it can take up to two days to get the right shot because I wait for the light to be just right.

How did you decide upon a winner for the Rekorderlig competition?

The theme was the arrival of spring and one of my favourite things about the season is the feeling of new possibilities and a wish to be outside all the time. When it came to deciding, I looked for a combination of beautiful light and an image capturing that emotion.
