The quarterly magazine of New York-based photography foundation of the same name, Aperture is the flagship representation of their commitment to contemporary photography. 

Issue #257 contrasts honest documentary photography; from Tina Barney's world of Americana to Steven Cuffie's images of Black life in Baltimore alongside the use of Artificial Intelligence as the biggest paradigm shift within recent photography.

Artists such as Trevor Paglen and Minne Atairu feature, whilst Fred Ritchin discusses how this technology is taking us away from capturing the human perspective of the world around us making us feel disconnected to global events.
