In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Alex Catt, Ismail Zaidy, portraits, Sanjay Jogia and top rentals.
- In The Strangeness and Mystery of Nature, Stephanie Wade presents the work of British photographer Alex Catt.

- There are very few (one) formal portraits among The Best Guardian Portraits of 2020 but the collection has some memorable images. Not talking about the one at the top that hits you in the face, though.
- In How I Made That Image, Sanjay Jogia shares "how some of my award-winning images were created by breaking down my thought processes on the shoot, technical settings and lighting setups to try and provoke thought and inspire ideas for you." OK, but just the award winners, Sanjay.
