For the past 6 years, Foam has consistently showcased some of the most promising new photography. Like the PDN 30, and The Museum of Modern Art's annual New Photography exhibition (both of which show a range of strong work, but haters love to hate), Foam’s editors have an uncanny eye for new voices in photography, and their annual Talent issue has been known to predict these photographers' success year after year (read about last year's issue here.) While past  "Talents" have included now-household names like Alex Prager, Jessica Eaton, Lucas Blalock and Sam Falls, this year’s survey continues its showcase of inventive work ranging from Aaron Blum's calm Appalachian narratives to Sara Cwynar's cathartic mingling of still life and collage.  The exhibition Foam Talent 2015 will be open at l’Atelier Néerlandais in Paris through December 20th, 2015 

We reached out to Foam’s Deputy Director of Artistic Affairs, Marcel Feil to learn more about his selection process, and what really constitutes “Talent.”
