Josh and I first saw Sarah Pickering’s explosive photography at Scope Miami during Art Basel last year, and I was excited to see her featured in the current pHytonics issue. It’s undeniably the pyro in me that’s drawn to Sarah’s explosion photos– haven’t been able to get one this big out of my gas grill quite yet though. Interestingly, Sarah is no pyrotechnic (because you’d think that would be half the fun), but rather just follows police and military personnel into the boonies in England to photograph their explosives tests. Sarah is represented by renowned photography gallery Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York, and just recently held a solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. Anyone have a chance to see that show?

These are awesome! Occasionally my brothers and I will get together for the express purpose of blowing things up and photographing them. I hadn’t thought about a fine-art series though.
