Night scenes by Anton Jankovoy
This series of photos I've been making during 6 years in different regions of nepali Himalayas. I've walked on foot across the mountains more than 4000 km and the most of them on the altitude about 3000-5500 m.

Unintended Homecoming by Hai Zhang
The apparent contrast in the photograph with a lone house in the midst of rubbles and shadows of skyscraper failed to tell the story that the building owner had collected multimillion dollars as compensation for the demolition and moved to overseas.



Night photography : Mojave Moonlight by Tom Lowe
When the opportunity to work as an artist in residence for Mojave National Preserve presented itself I jumped at the chance. I knew immediately what I wanted to do. With my affinity for the night and the outdoors it had to be “Mojave Moonlight.”

Darjeeling’s Toy Train by Carsten Bockermann
Conceived and built during the British Raj, India’s railway lines are still the main arteries of the country’s traffic system. In hectic, overcrowded train stations travelers fight for space inside (or even on the roof of) one of the seemingly endless trains.

HIPA to host Photography Workshops during Awards Ceremony Week
The Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) will be celebrating a week of photography following the Awards Ceremony, with a series of photography workshops in Dubai presented by prominent international photographers.



Diverse Life by John Aaron
Over the course of my life (at present 61), I’ve been in some ‘diverse life’ situations. The one constant has been photography. Admittedly there have been large patches of time when i was camera less, again owing to ‘diverse’ living arrangements.






City Square by David Niddrie
City Square is a photography series with it’s genesis in the fleeting moments of street photography. In the early spring of 2010 I found myself city centre in Vancouver, BC as the hard winter light began to soften towards spring.


Car model; Moving India by Carsten Bockermann
On my trips to India I noticed a certain car model that was to be seen everywhere and easily transcended the boundaries between social classes. It was driven by businessmen, government officials, taxi drivers and politicians.

Don't miss the 9th edition of Art Dubai, the leading international art fair in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia which previews on March 18 and opens to the public March 19-21, at Madinat Jumeirah.


Ollie Taylor – Nightscape Photographer
The world is a different place when the sun goes down, and just as beautiful, with far fewer people wandering around it, therefore, perfect for the landscape photographer; although he indicates he is now more of a twilight and nightscape photographer than landscaper.

James Popsys : Creative Photography
I used to find a good spot for an image and then be joined by some guy with better equipment than me who would prop up a carbon fibre tripod and take exactly the same photo as me. That's not art, it's completely boring and pointless.

Ethnic Tibetan boys; Wind-hardened by Anton Jankovoy
I have met these ethnic Tibetan boys in their native village on 2,380 m altitude in Manaslu area (Nepal). You may not find in the whole world such an independent and self-confident children like those in Himalayas who live a simple natural life.

Harmonies; Refinery Flocks by Massimo Cristaldi
Nature is able to adapt. Recently, for instance, great catastrophes, as petrol spills in the sea, did not produce, in some cases, all the predicted effects thanks to the extraordinary resilience of ecological systems.

Nenka Ukraine by Dina Oganova
It was 2009 when i went first time in Kiev (capital) of Ukraine and was totally in love with this amazing country and lovely people.I think Ukrainians and Georgians has a lot of common. 2014 was the hardest and sadness year for this beautiful country

Mariel Miranda : City Life
The city is fleeting, and the faces of people so ghostly and lovely. There's a linear blur to be followed throughout the subway carts and streets.



Mexico; Dry Land Blossom by Francisco Alcalá
The sound of her steps breaking dry leaves disrupts the cold morning and blends with the singing birds and the rooster crow. Her bustling spirit accelerates her door-to-door movement across the modest community.

Dwarfs; Little Ghosts by Emilie Arfeuil
Dwarfs, with a deformed or child-like body, dressed up and made up to frighten audiences in a Ghost House, and it instantly brings to mind old freaks shows. It shocks immediately, as a terrible step backwards in terms of human rights, a disabilities.

Personal project; Russian Season by Ekaterina Vasilyeva
For me the ‘Russian Season’ is a personal project and I take the pictures from my understanding and vision of Russian nature and Russian soul. Certain illustrations of this series especially refer the viewer to Russian fairy tales and folklore.


Saskia Boelsums, Sculptor and Photographer
Ever since her art school days, Saskia Boelsums had been fascinated by the many possibilities and results that photography could create. Over the past few years, Saskia has spent more time working with this medium.

The Procession of Spectres by Ville Kansanen
This body of work represents a step from behind the veil of ideas and techniques to find earnest revelations of my struggle to be whole with my fragmented sense of self. It is a reach for connectivity with others and a reconciliation with the stabbing isolation

Five minutes with Ruedi Beckmann
This is why I have always taken a particular liking to Diane Arbus and her statement »A photograph is a secret about a secret.« I don't see a picture, I see a story. Often some different opinions. And sometimes a development.

Meryl Meisler : NYC in the late 1970s and early 80s
NYC in the late 1970s and early 80s could best be described using Charles Dickens' phrase “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Meryl Meisler’s photographs documented it with compassion and humor.


The obsession with photography of Lisa Shalom
Photography isn't just a hobby for me; it's an all-out obsession that may require a stint in rehab. Then again, I might prefer to be locked in a clinic with a bunch of photographers with a level of passion that matches my own.


Urban environments; Deconstruction by Lilyan Aloma
The images in this body of work reflect my ongoing fascination with urban environments and the impact that commerce has on them. It is my attempt to resolve the visual tension created by the over-development of the city that I have lived in and loved most of my life.

Jean-Pierre Duvergé : Vexin 2015
Pursuing the work carried out with my series " Lacanau-Océan 2014" I begin a new series on the country near of which I live: French Vexin. It is about a farmland which receives its own mysteries which the only light can reveal.

Chatting with Alva Bernadine
My photographs start with a strong central “event” then comes location and colour. They contain surrealism, the unusual and the quirky. I use eroticism and frequently narrative elements to that lead the viewer to conjecture what may have happened before or after the frame was taken.


Christian by Kostya Smolyaninov
Actually, these lines should be enough to describe Kostya Smolyaninov’s work from the “Christian” series. I look at the picture where a girl is praying to the Nike sneakers and I am constantly asking myself how come these two parallel worlds can peacefully coexist?

Anatomy of a Photograph by Loreal Prystaj
The only postproduction on the photo is a little boost in the contrast and vibrancy.  The effect with the mirror is 100% captured in-camera, by holding an actual mirror, experimenting with different angles, and waiting for the correct lighting.
