What started as a simple collection of images for the Perpignan Festival by members of the Luna collective has become an ongoing, online magazine, showcasing the works of creative photographers such as Bruno Stevens, Olivier Culmann and even Martin Parr.

Lunatic is Karl Blanchet's brainchild, born of his discontent with classic photojournalism. The project is an example of 'creative contemporary photojournalism. The idea behind Lunatic is that there are interesting photojournalists who can write with their cameras,' he says. 'They are able to make you think, to make you feel with their photos.'

Encouraged by the success of the second issue (more than 20,000 readers from 60 different countries), Lunatic, which is co-managed by Eric Hilaire, picture editor for The Guardian, has now published its third issue.

It presents an original selection of Martin Parr's images that convey a recurrent theme, that of 'photographing photographers photographed'. A typically 'Parresque' subject that reminds us that photography is both social practice and practised reflex,' Blanchet says.

There are also seven other photography projects by Markus Lokai, Lihee Avidan, GMB Akash, Carolyn Drake, Michael Walter, Gregoire Bernadi and Blanchet.
