Przemysław Kot: Men’s cloakroom

Przemysław Kot’s photos from the “Men’s cloakroom” set present portraits of men of different ages, specifically employees of a carpentry workshop. In addition to the characters shown, the background also becomes a silent hero. The title men’s cloakroom is an intimate and hermetic world. This place is like a silent witness of situations from which we would normally prefer to…

One of the famous beaches in East Sumba, Indonesia is Walakiri Beach. What attracted many professional photographers are this unique mangrove trees. Another uniqueness of Walakiri Beach is the beach sand that has a texture like powder or wet cement when the tide are low.

Ragnar B. Varga: Lost in Spain

0
The photo series Lost in Spain came to life during my time in Spain from 2014 to 2017. This series includes both traditional street photography and staged pictures. I like to use light and shadow to construct visual space and to introduce images of solitary figures – anonymous and alone. My subjects often seem all alone as they embark on…

We find ourselves – as a global community – in a challenging and unprecedented situation. Faced with such unknowns, it is entirely natural to feel anxious or destabilised.

Dirk Schlottmann: Korean shamanism – spirit possession

0
“Korean shamanism – spirit possession” show Korean shamans of the North Korean Hwanghaedo-tradition in liminal moments. Liminal moments are periods in which they experience ecstasy and trance because they seek contact with spiritual entities or are possessed by gods, spirits or ancestors. They are in an intermediate position “betwixt and between” that is very difficult to describe and as a…

The following images are self-portraits that were shot in various parts of the world. In an attempt to unite or demonstrate the similarities we all share, I found a voice that I never knew existed. As a result I am now more confident, outgoing and outspoken. Franklin Liranzo is a professional photographer based in New York City. His body of…

Tomasz Przychodzień: Stone Cathedrals of the Karakoram Range

“There is a mountain range ahead of me. Sometimes the sun burns it, sometimes it rains rain, it is often wrapped by fog. It never complains, never waits for acknowledgement. It is always majestic and always gives itself away.” – L. Boff When thinking about the Karakoram, colorful images never come to my mind first. Visiting this most majestic mountainous…

Rita Santanatoglia: 1943, journey in a story

This series is my free interpretation of bombing of Rome in Second World War. On July 19 ,1943, the entire working class district of San Lorenzo was destroyed, 3000 Italian civilians were killed in the raids over five residential/railway districts. In those pictures I propose a journey from the future in this past,I just wanted identifying with feelings and the…

Emanuele Vitale: Seeing Beyond – Discoveries

0
A discovery destined to revolutionize the world, in 1954, thanks to Giulio Natta, found the definitive consecration with the discovery of “Moplen” (polyethylene). A material that will enter into daily life and revolutionize each of us’ s customs and habits thanks also to the economic boom that will characterize the 50/60/70 years. The plastic, commonly called will have an increasingly…
Valeria Sacchetti: Journey to the Lowlands

Valeria Sacchetti: Journey to the Lowlands

0
A road movie that tells the dream beyond the frontiers of the lowlanders, immersed in a microcosm, still unknown, in which time flows, slowly. There, time is fragmented, blurred and oniric where water has its own music and whispers the stories of the inhabitants. Family ties, my roots, the bucolic landscape, the abandoned places and animals: there in the Emilia…

Manuel Micheli: ROTELLANDO VERSO SUD

0
ITALY. Approximately 1400 kilometres covered, 65 days of travel, 8 regions crossed and 56 stages completed. I could summarize this wonderful experience of “Rotellando verso sud” (“Rotating towards the south”). There are stories that need to be told. Stories of courage and optimism. Stories of example for all. Supported by an unshakable faith in one’s own individual resources, an uncommon…
Swarat Ghosh: Beyond Street

Swarat Ghosh: Beyond Street

0
When I first started the project there was no idea in my mind. In the beginning, the initial intent for me was to capture a nice frame (aesthetically). In my mind, it was always to capture one single image from my entire day/night outing. I used to walk miles after miles just waiting for the moments to unfold in front…
Ramtin Firouzian: People

Ramtin Firouzian: People

0
I think separation and loneliness are the main themes of the century. Everyone either suffers from loneliness or worries about being alone or still doesn’t realize they are alone. The reason I chose this collection was that these days I think the quarantine and social distancing of all people can comfort those who are always alone. In this series, the…
Marco Barbera: Postures of the naked self

Marco Barbera: Postures of the naked self

0
This series studies the symbolism of postures and geometries of the human body. It describes different characters whose nakedness forces them to confront to their own self and to what they really are, whether in their greatness or weakness. For me, nudity limits the human being to its true essence, thus it conveys transparency and truthfulness to the emotions that…

Artur Stankiewicz: Great Spectacle of Nature – Mara River Crossing

Crossings of the Mara River by hundreds of thousands wildebeests during their yearly migration routes have been documented by many photographers. The drama and the sheer size of this miracle of nature leaves lasting impression on anyone who witnessed thousands of gnu running, jumping and swimming through the river. It is also a ‘photographers dream’ as sometimes happenings are simply…

This project portrays the deep connection between the nature surrounding us and our human nature. The images serve as an invitation to awaken to a place of sacred sanctuary. The harmony of the natural world is available to us in our own backyard through the powerful healing energy of traditional plant wisdom. I didn’t go out of my way to…

Andrey Troitsky: Space – Metamorphoses

0
Man and the external world. Space has his poetry. Space is dual in nature: on the one hand, it is the soil on which all plants grow, the air we breathe, and our home, but at the same time we also live in the space of our inner world, and we say this is me – human. But we are…
Peter Schroyens: Serenity – Alien Cities

Peter Schroyens: Serenity – Alien Cities

0
Serenity reflects my imagination about an alien, architectural world, inspired by science-fiction stories of the early 20th century. Contemporary and modern architecture are detached from their environement and projected into a futuristic universe, entirely stripped of human noise. Surrounded by this visual silence, the buildings of Serenity demand a certain presence, enhanced by stark ligthing effects and deep shadows. Three…
