The Red Bulletin United Kingdom

Daumantas Liekis
Tomasz Gudzowaty Ten years ago, the Polish lensman won a World Press Photo award for images of Shaolin monks in training. In this month’s edition of The Red Bulletin, we showcase his remarkable shots of the Mexican underground car-racing scene. Links between the two? Stories from life’s margins, Gudzowaty’s favourite place, and black-andwhite photos, his chosen colour scheme. When you commission him, you get 12 pictures only, but a dozen does the job, always.
Cole Louison Hurricane Sandy caused more than US$100 million in damage to a New York City surfing community, erasing seven miles of boardwalk and permanently altering the way of life for its residents. “We got out there six months later and people were still chopping wood for fires,” says Louison, a journalist, surfer and resident of Brooklyn, NYC. “No one’s tougher or more insular than Rockaway surfers, yet everyone wanted to talk because everyone had a story to tell.”

The Lithuanian nature and science journalist travelled to Georgia to explore the deepest cave in the world. This kind of adventure is just another day at the office for him (another day involved research at Chernobyl) because, as well as his journalistic duties, Liekis also works as a biologist. During his time at the Krubera cave, he observed the living things that only exist in the dark, raw environment that extends more than 2km below ground.

Brian Bielmann
After 35 years working your dream job, you would think a person has no regrets. And yet, Bielmann has one: to have spent “even more time than I did in the water”. Friends of the American surf photographer will tell you that he is an enviably rad dude – which makes him exactly the right person to focus on surf stars like our cover star Julian Wilson, whatever the weather. His photos appear in adverts, magazines such as National Geographic and on the walls of discerning collectors.
