The world seen through photographer Guy Sargent's lens is studied, still, and—in the following series of images taken of Mount Etna—volcanic.

A mountain the colour of bruises, Sargent captures Etna's power and beauty as one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Find more about his work here. 

Guy's work is also featured in Issue Fifteen.

Opening today at Proud Chelsea is an exhibition of Dorothy Bohm's portraits from 1960s London, curated by the photographer's daughter, Monica Bohm-Duchen. A small selection of the images on display is below.

The exhibition is fascinating for presenting the photographer's very personal view of London in all its variety. From tree-lined canals to fruit and veg markets, the city Dorothy captured feels less changed over fifty years than one might have expected.

Photo Wednesday is where we present the week's most distinctive photography submissions, uploaded either to our Flickr group or emailed to [email protected].

Today, we're looking at London-based photographer Freddie Bonfanti's Vietnam Noir series. Freddie travelled from Ho Chi Minh to Phu Quoc Island in June 2012, with nothing but a moped and two cameras. "Shooting on film," he says of the experience, "when you're in such an extreme environment is a mammoth task; condensation, heat and rough travelling make the whole process difficult yet rewarding, once you get home and process the film."

And, this week, we’ve been enjoying the still, striking work of Philadelphia-based photographer, Luke Mele. A selection of his images is below. Head to his website or Flickr for more.

Lotte Scott is a London-based artist concerned with tradition, memory and sense of place. Here we present an extract of her multimedia project, The Hill, a two-and-a-half year study of an Iron Age hill fort, called Cadbury Castle, in Somerset.

The series explores the history of the hill and Lotte’s own ties to the area. In the images below, she documents the blustery, exposed climate of the hill, various methods of gauging the area (using dowsing rods and pieces of string) and finds made by local treasure hunters.

Venture past Ushuaia, an Argentinian town at the bottom of the world, find a Russian icebreaker (preferably one that began its life as a Cold War spy ship), brave the ever-turbulent Southern Ocean and you’ll be rewarded with Paradise. Otherwise known as Antarctica.

A true wilderness area, this icy continent is packed with snow covered mountains, breaching humpback whales (who find boat-dwelling humans fascinating), glaciers that roar and crumble into the sea, seemingly endless amounts of sunlight, and icebergs a fluorescent shade of turquoise. Look around and everything is stark, cold, captivating.

When here, feeling small and in awe, like a inept yet suitably intrepid explorer, all you can do is take out your camera and hope you do the expansive surrounds a little bit of justice.

Welcome back to Photo Wednesday, the place where we feature photography submissions posted on Oh Comely's Flickr pool or emailed to [email protected].

This week focuses on the work of Anthony Gerace, a portrait photographer and graphic designer who also works in collage. Anthony has just moved to England after ten years in Toronto, Canada. In his image making - both collage-based and photographic - he seeks to capture the spaces between people, whether they're physical, emotional, or temporal. Anthony's work is about distance and ways that it can be bridged; finding a trace of life in an expression, an object, or a gesture.

Below is a selection of his photographs from 2012. See www.a-gerace.com for more.
