After having sex, some women hoping to get pregnant will immediately raise their legs up high, for a few minutes or longer, in the hope that gravity will assist conception.

Though the impact of such contortion is not actually grounded in science, it persists as a familiar trope in movies and TV, and has long been passed down generationally as fertility lore.

So when photographer Juergen Teller and his wife and creative partner Dovile Drizyte were trying for a baby while on vacation in Sicily two years ago, Teller recommended the practise.

“I said to Dovile, ‘It’s a better chance to get pregnant afterwards, if you put your legs up,’” he recalled in a joint video interview with CNN. With another couple, the suggestion might have just resulted in a quick Google search and a laugh over the old wives’ tale. But for Teller and Drizyte, who have had a fruitful artistic collaboration for the past few years — including, recently, their now 1-year-old daughter Iggy recreating her dad’s most famous fashion shoots — the exchange led to a tongue-in-cheek body of work.

Now a published book, “The Myth” is a portrait series featuring a nude Drizyte set against the 94 rooms of the neoclassical and art deco Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Lake Como, Italy. Against damask wallpaper, ornate gold bedframes and plush chaise longues, Drizyte’s legs rise in every photograph. She splays out on beds and floors, balances herself on small chairs, and overlooks the picturesque views of the mountainous region from atop a balcony table, all with her feet hovering in midair.

As they explored the villa, they were delighted to find symbols of fertility, femininity and motherhood in the hotel’s art collection. From Madonna and Child icons to baptismal scenes to sensual nude drawings, the works became a throughline in the “The Myth.”

“It was a very interesting surprise — it seemed like the hotel was helping us with the project,” Drizyte said.

What lies ahead

In each frame Drizyte is seemingly post-coital, though she noted that it was important for none of the poses to look sexualized.

“It was more (about) waiting for the baby,” she explained of the compositions. “What is coming? What is approaching? …Of course, there’s a bit of humor because you don’t know what’s going to happen; your life really changes.”

“Dovile had to be very serene,” Teller added, emphasizing how mentally — and for Drizyte, physically — exhausting the five-day shoot was as they entered each hotel room to decide on a new variation of the scene. By the time they had arranged the shoot with the hotel, Drizyte was already pregnant — and starting to show, adding “a bit of time pressure” to the project, she said.

Teller had previously stayed in the villa, even photographing a 2019 campaign for YSL there (also with a focus on legs, albeit in sheer hosiery), and the owners enthusiastically gave them free rein as staff prepared to close for the off-season, the photographer explained.

“We became a part of the hotel going into hibernation,” Drizyte recalled. “The maids were coming and cleaning these rooms and taking beds out.”

“Guests disappeared and it became more ghostlike,” Teller added. “It was wonderful, romantic and beautiful.” He added that the experience helped them concentrate and think about what laid ahead for them as parents.

Despite the fact that becoming pregnant was straightforward for Drizyte, she emphasized how much of it is luck. “It’s like a lottery, almost, whether it’s all quick and easy, or it takes longer, or there are complications,” she said. “You start really believing and asking or praying or contemplating… (or putting) your legs up — surely that helps?”

Photographer Hélène Binet and co-authors Marco Iuliano and Martino Stierli have selected ten photography highlights – from architect Peter Zumthor‘s Therme Vals hotel to the Pantheon in Rome – from a new monograph of Binet’s work.

The book features more than 170 photographs from Binet‘s career and includes two critical essays based on in-depth interviews.

It is the first time the photographer has discussed her work as a whole, in terms of recurring themes, techniques and how it is evolving.

Binet, who has always worked in analogue film formats, began her career at the Architectural Association in the 1980s at a time when she encountered architects who would go on to global success.

The first essay, Becoming Binet, is written by Italian architect and academic Iuliano and covers Binet’s life, her work and the architects she has collaborated with – such as Daniel Libeskind, John Hejduk and Zaha Hadid.

The second essay, written by MoMA curator Stierli and titled Positioning Binet, explores how Binet’s oeuvre “oscillates between two obsessions: a desire to translate spatial phenomena into two-dimensional images and a quest to articulate the modulation of light on a surface”.

Published by Lund Humphries, this book is the first in an Architectural Photographer series that will “celebrate talented architectural photographers and bring them out of the ‘shadow’ of architects and their work,” according Stierli.

Read on for 10 highlights from Hélène Binet, selected by the authors Binet, Iuliano and Stierli:

Nine views of the Parish Church of St Gertrude, Düsseldorf, Germany, by Gottfried Böhm

“I was asked to photograph a selection of early ecclesiastical buildings by Böhm to celebrate his 100th birthday in 2020,” Binet told Dezeen.

“I had a great amount of freedom, because if you work for somebody that is 100 years old, he doesn’t think about his future career or anything – you can just celebrate the work.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the different life that concrete can have, and the formation of this material can feel so soft or strong or heavy or overwhelming, or human and unhuman – it’s everything. But also Böhm gave it a sense of great freedom.

“I think the concrete is treated very differently: sometimes it’s rather masculine and strong, and in other moments it’s so delicate that you don’t know if you’re looking at origami or concrete. I like that.

“I like that feeling that, especially in churches, you’re going to be surprised and you’re going to have to find your own space inside the church through that freedom or use of the concrete, which is somehow a liberation because it is a sacred place, but it’s not, doesn’t tell you what you have to believe. It tells you you have to be spiritual.”

Humble Administrator’s Garden, Suzhou, China

“In 2018, I decided to photograph gardens that I had visited before and thought there’s great potential there,” Binet said.

“Those gardens have very specific walls – the way they are somehow peeling in and out, and their relationship with the city.

“I didn’t expect to find this micro-world on the wall; the moss and the lichen, which create this landscape. The wall is very pictorial, the way the growth is moving through the surface reminds me of Chinese paintings.

“You see the elements; water, wind, earth – it’s quite intense, on just one surface. And so I made the pictures in colour to keep the sense of life.”

Convent Sainte-Marie de la Tourette, Éveux, France, by Le Corbusier 

“The topic of shadows and light has been really important in my work,” Binet explained.

“For this project in 2002, I was invited to do something on this theme and I thought ‘where would I found the most rich articulation of different types of shadows?’ And it was at a monastery, of course, because you have also the function: the spiritual, the practical, the social.

“To be able to photograph a building of that beauty by Le Corbusier had always been a dream. So it was a big day – and I chose quite a ‘dry’ space, thinking ‘let’s see what are the shadows that take you to a corridor or a staircase’. Spaces where you are between two functions, that take you to the spiritual place.

“In this image, you can play with interpretation because shadows can be a source of knowledge, but they are also an absence of energy, which is not to say silent.”

Detail of the pronaos at The Pantheon, Rome, Italy

“The Pantheon was right at the beginning of my career so I feel sometimes very shy to talk about it,” Binet said. “This image is about the desire to look at something that is very well known, but often not in an intimate way.

“I wanted to explore the possibility of dismantling – and being in a very personal dialogue with – something that you think you know.

“It is a building that makes light, with its oculus. Its design has a perfect sphere within a cylinder, where you can only imagine the full extent of the sphere and not completely seize it. So my work in my pictures is to support that idea of something you can only imagine, which is a very nice challenge. “

Therme Vals, Vals, Switzerland, by Peter Zumthor

“This triptych of photographs was taken at Peter Zumthor’s celebrated thermal baths in Vals, Switzerland,” Stierli told Dezeen.

“Each photo is a perfect translation of the architect’s unique sensibility to introduce light as an architectural material, which also explains the photogenic quality of his buildings, in the literal sense of the word.

“But beyond that, it is significant that Binet thinks of these images in terms of a sequence, which seemingly runs counter to the notion of the singularity of the image. The Vals triptych is the perfect demonstration that the singular presence and plurality of the image are not mutually exclusive, but rather enhance each other.”

The Lingering Garden, Suzhou, China

“This image of a wall of the Lingering Garden in Suzhou, China, goes a step further in transforming the photo into an almost abstract composition of colour, light, and texture,” Stierli said.

“The depthlessness of the image, paradoxically, is the prerequisite for substance: the flattening of architectural space into an image creates the ultimate space for contemplation.”

Fog formations, Atacama Desert, Chile

“A series of photos of fog formations in the Chilean Atacama desert is perhaps Binet’s most radical departure from conventional architectural photography,” Stierli said.

“This photo explores architecture as only a small episode in the inevitable processes of the formation and dissolution of material aggregates.

“Binet understands architecture as part of a larger material ecology, and as an attempt to bridge the divide between the spheres of culture and nature: the human-made artefact is seen in the context of natural processes and of the emergence and dispersal, of formation and entropy; a commentary on architecture’s – in the end futile – aspiration to transcend time.”

Staircases in Sperlonga, Latina, Italy

“Published for the first time, this intersection of stairs in the coastal town of Sperlonga is an early example of the theme of  ‘ground’ in Binet’s work,” Iuliano told Dezeen.

“The book is divided into six sections: Traces, Passage of Light, Narratives, Sequence, Abstraction and At Play, which records the imagination of a photographer when completely free from any commitment to a client.

“A theme that I think traverses all the sections is the ground. In her work, Hélène is particularly interested in giving viewers the opportunity to reflect, not only on architecture but, on our relationship with the planet as human beings.”

A Sentimental Topography by Dimitris Pikionis, landscaping of the Acropolis, Athens, Greece

“Dimitris Pikionis’ pathway leading to the Parthenon in Athens is perhaps Binet’s most well-known and paradigmatic photograph,” Iuliano said.

“The ground plays a fundamental role in Binet’s work, and I found it compelling that, discussing Hélène’s work with Kenneth Frampton, he praised her capacity ‘to capture in a single image the tactile and textured presence of tectonic form, both in built and natural environments’.”

Kolumba Museum, Cologne, Germany, by Peter Zumthor

“Zumthor occupies a position of particular significance in Binet’s career and her collaboration with the architect has produced some of the most compelling photographs in her oeuvre,” Iuliano said.

“Both Binet and Zumthor are deeply invested in a phenomenological understanding of architecture.”

While click farms are not new, they are getting more efficient.

At a “traditional” operation, a click farmer who owns hundreds of mobile phones or computers, each with a unique IP address, would have to physically interact with each device to like posts and follow accounts.

At modern operations – so-called box farms – everything can be hooked up to a single computer, on which farmers can control any device at the click of a mouse.

This is also more space-efficient, as devices can be arranged into tightfitting racks with no need to interact with them physically.

“One of the bigger click farms we visited had different floors filled with thousands of phones,” says Latham. “They can do hundreds of thousands of accounts and likes per day.

“If your perception and understanding of the world comes from the information that you’re digesting,” he adds, “if someone is able to manipulate what your diet of information is, all of a sudden you can become, to use the food analogy, ‘diabetic’.

“The way social media is being used now as a proxy for soft politics is remarkable.”

Latham, a 34-year-old senior lecturer in photography at the University of the West of England, in Bristol, particularly worries about the effect such manipulation could have on younger generations.

“All the students that I teach experience the world and the news through their phones. There’s so much content thrown at you, at such a rapid pace, that people end up trusting the analytics a lot more than they realise.

“They think, ‘This is something a lot of people seem to be interacting with, therefore it must be true.’ Or, ‘This video has 30,000 views, so I’ll watch it, because other people have watched it.’

“You don’t have time to think about what you’re digesting.”

He started working on his Beggar’s Honey book project, which addresses false narratives online, in 2019, conducting research and establishing contacts, including via hacker forums.

He was set to travel to Asia in April 2020, but the pandemic halted his plans, which caused further problems.

“It’s an ever-changing industry,” he says. “You might have several contacts one month, then they’ve all moved to different countries the next or are running away from legislation.”

The legality of click farms is a grey area and changes from country to country, he says, though their activity violates the terms and conditions of social media companies such as Meta.

“Within Vietnam, it’s sort of an open secret,” he says, “[whereas] someone I spoke to in Germany, who was building his own click farm, was utterly terrified of being found out.”

Mainland China has had an Anti-Unfair Competition Law since 1993. A 2017 amendment introduced prohibitions on false user ratings, “honours” or sales amounts to mislead customers, seemingly targeting click farms.

The same year, Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba (owner of the South China Morning Post) won a legal case against Hangzhou Jianshi Technology, the company behind click-farm site Shatui, for what was judged as fraudulent practices, including inflating sales numbers and creating bogus reviews.

“[In mainland China] click farms can now be charged under new legislation and from 2018 onwards, more farms are finding themselves facing court cases,” says Latham.

He explains that when his contacts in mainland China went to ground, he started looking for other click farmers and found three in Hong Kong.

The scheduled meeting with M in 2023 never happened. “He got cold feet,” says Latham. “I think he got anxious. It was all planned: we would visit his set-up and take photographs – not of him, just his set-up.

“He decided not to show up [and blocked our phone numbers], which was frustrating.”

Instead, Latham visited the registered Hong Kong addresses of the businesses he suspected to be click farms and photographed their exteriors. For an inside look, however, he had to turn his attention to Vietnam.

“Vietnam has very quickly become the place for click farms. Electricity is also very cheap, which is a key advantage.

“You go into a space and you’re blown away by the technology. They thought it was quite funny that I wanted to take photos of what, in their eyes, is just machinery.

“We visited one click farm that’s on the top floor of a hotel and seemed like a tech start-up. Everyone there was under the age of 24, and they had seven or eight employees.

“We went to another on the outskirts of Hanoi, which was multistoreyed but a family-run business. Others had just a single person.”

By helping expose click farms, Latham hopes to make people more aware of how misleading user ratings, views and like counts can be, so that they will start to question the authenticity of the content they encounter online.

“It’s easier to fight the monster with the lights turned on and knowing what it looks like,” he says. “I’d love for people to be more cautious of how they interact or give credence to something on social media.

“I’m concerned about the amount of information each person learns about the world from their phones these days. It’s terrifying.”

Night windows, Chernivtsi, Ukraine, 2014

Boris’s are almost all urban spaces. So I mean, I think he started in Chernivtsi, then Moscow, St Petersburg, New York, Madrid, London, Wuppertal, Southampton, Dresden, Bonn, Vigo. Weirdly, every city Boris is in, it’s his eye, his attention to detail, his observation, which somehow echoes Chernivtsi, his city of birth

Hungry?

You probably will be after seeing which photos took out this year’s Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards.

From dumplings and hot dogs to three-tiered cakes, this gallery is a literal feast for the eyes.

The overall winning shot, which was snapped in the rural area Xiangshan, of Zhejiang, China, shows feast preparations for Lunar New Year.

Speaking on the image, photographer Yang Zhonghua said the celebrations include the tradition of making dim sum, such as red bean dumplings and steamed rice cakes, “each of which has a legacy of traditional craftsmanship”.

According to the competition’s website, the awards “arose from a wish to see this vibrant sector of photography given the recognition it deserves”.

Here’s the winning image alongside the other category winners and finalists.

Politics of Food

Photographer Jo Kearney said state stores in Cuba tend to be “pretty empty” between deliveries.

“When food arrives, there’s a queue because they are subsidised by the government and so food is mcuh cheaper than in the private stores.”

Street Food

Fighting to Save Life depicts a mother and daughter carrying Hawai Mithai (fairy floss), photographer Mohammad Reaz Uddin says.

“Every evening, Ayesha makes packets of Hawai sweets by herself.

“The next day, at six in the morning, Ayesha and her daughter Hanufa go to different streets in the village and children’s schools and sell the Hawai sweets.

“They earn about 300 taka per day and with this money she maintains her family and business.”

For most people travelling to Heathrow Airport, the journey is a means to an end. But Bertie Taylor’s aim was a little different: to capture everyday life underneath the flight path.

The 37-year-old described the project as his “most relevant work” and is looking for a publisher for his collection of photographs, which has a working title Life Under the Flight Path.

Between September 2018 and 2019, the photographer, musician and short film maker travelled from his parents’ home in Piccadilly Circus to Hatton Cross in west London.

“Most people are coming from Heathrow to central London for tourism and I was doing the opposite,” Taylor, who lives in Newhaven, East Sussex, says.

So, how exactly does it work?
