    Moods by Brigitte Konyen: Reconstructing Photography Through Emotion

    Aug 24, 2026
    In my artistic practice, photographs are not an end result but rather a starting point for new image constructions, as is also the case in my series Moods. By tearing, cutting, or fragmenting the photographic material—I work exclusively with photographs I have taken myself—I engage in an act of destruction.

    Drag / Strip by Tom Zimberoff: Portraits of Drag and Identity

    Aug 23, 2026
    Drag / Strip is kabuki—without a Japanese passport. The comparison is theatrical, not cultural: both employ spectacular costumes, stylized performance, gender transformation, and the deliberate construction of persona. But while kabuki is revered as cultural heritage, drag in America is often marginalized, misunderstood, dismissed as spectacle alone, or even condemned as perverse.

    Still Life by Andrea Zinn: A Meditation on Light and Time

    Aug 22, 2026
    In March of 2020, as New York City went into lockdown, like many others, I became an “artist-in-residence” in my own home. A large drafting table next to windows in an upstairs room became the center of my photography as I began to work on a new series of still life photographs.

    Another Self by Tianhu Yuan Reflects on Youth Identity and ACG Culture in China

    Aug 21, 2026
    Another Self was a series developed as part of Tianhu Yuan’s long-term project on generalized Nijigen subculture in China, including anime, comics, games, and related fan cultures. The series portrays young people who use fictional characters, costumes, gestures, and the camera to construct a self distinct from their everyday identity

    Responding to intersecting environmental and human contexts, Steve is constantly expanding his long-term projects. Drawn to historical and contemporary human impact and relationships with the natural environment, his extensive series, The Human Landscape, highlights evidence of people—their marks, constructions, destruction, attempts to control nature, and nature’s reclamation.

    Freedom by Mostafa Nodeh Reflects on the Universal Search for Freedom

    Aug 20, 2026
    Freedom, a black-and-white photographic project by Iranian photographer Mostafa Nodeh, explores the invisible boundaries that exist between human beings, nature, and the inner self. Through an austere visual language built around open landscapes, isolated figures, fragile elements, and profound silences, Nodeh reflects on the universal desire for freedom, dignity, hope, and belonging.

    Live Canvas by Iness Rychlik Transforms a Skin Condition into Visual Art

    Aug 19, 2026
    Live Canvas is a collection of self-portraits that challenges the insecurities caused by my chronic skin condition, dermatographia. Growing up, unsolicited remarks about the sudden appearance of blotchy redness across my skin dramatically impacted my sense of self-worth and have had a lasting effect throughout my life.

    Through the Lens of Solitude by Han Yang Turns Isolation into a Visual Diary

    Aug 19, 2026
    I made Through the Lens of Solitude between 2022 and 2023, during a difficult period of my PhD studies in London. I was spending much of my time alone, and my daily life had gradually become confined to a very small space. I rarely went out, and for a while, I lost interest in many of the things that had previously been important to me.

    NOIR by Éric Leleu Explores Light, Color and Shadow

    Aug 18, 2026
    Over the past fifteen years, French photographer Éric Leleu has developed a deeply personal visual language in which black is understood not as the absence of color, but as its foundation—a base capable of containing it, structuring it, and giving it a particular sense of elegance.

    Aug 18, 2026
    Shehuo is a time-honored traditional folk celebration unique to the Chinese Spring Festival, deeply rooted in the country’s rural communities and ancient farming culture.

    Aleppo, My Beloved by Antti Yrjönen Portrays Life After War and Earthquake

    Aug 17, 2026
    The first thing I noticed was the president. In June 2023, in the government-held parts of Syria, Bashar al-Assad’s face hung everywhere: on shop walls, in hotel receptions, over the windows of schools. It reminded me of a city plastered with posters before a gig—except this was not advertising. He was watching.

    What Memory Leaves Behind by Ana Carolina Fraga Reflects on Absence and Time

    Aug 17, 2026
    In this visual essay, I work with my family’s photographic archive as a starting point to investigate the gaps, erasures, and fragments that shape the fabric of memory. These photographs, originally created to preserve moments, faces, and relationships, are revisited through digital manipulation, where altering the image becomes a way of reflecting on the unstable nature of remembering.

    On the Cusp by Jay Patel

    Aug 10, 2026
    For years, I worked the same way: I would finish one project, then rush into the next. Each one felt urgent, as though it had to happen immediately. That kept me moving for a long time. Then, a few years ago, it stopped working.

    The Spirit of Freedom: Wild Horses Through the Lens of Curtis W. Callaway

    Jul 8, 2026
    For more than three decades, my camera has taken me across oceans and deserts, beneath the surface of the sea, and into some of the world's most remote landscapes. Whether documenting marine life, exploring fragile ecosystems, or working with cultures shaped by their environments, I have always been drawn to places where nature remains largely untamed.

    Making the Moon by Justin Pumfrey | A Poetic Journey Through Nature and Light

    Jul 7, 2026
    Making the Moon is a photographic and poetic sequence created between 2020 and 2026 in Somerset, Richmond, and the surrounding edges of the natural world. The work moves through night, weather, water, plants, animals, gardens, fields, and fleeting apparitions, following the places where the visible world begins to loosen and something more interior starts to emerge.

    Slow Interiors by Lorenzo Vitali | An Artistic Journey Beyond AI and Visual Perfection

    Jul 6, 2026
    We are living in a time when, in every field, the often difficult and sometimes painful learning process is being rapidly erased through the widespread use of AI. It is evident that AI is now capable of surpassing almost any experiential path, quickly rendering it obsolete thanks to the ease of interaction that allows users to reach a final result in a matter of seconds.

    Essence of an Environment: Multi-Exposure Photo Art by Dan-E. Nilsson

    Jul 1, 2026
    My photo art is based on a unique technique that depicts environments through a combination of many overlaid scenes. I am a scientist investigating the visual system, and my technique for creating art photographs developed as a spin-off from my research into how human and animal brains generate feelings from what the eyes perceive in the environment.

    Sentinels: Colorado’s Eastern Plains Through the Lens of Eric Hagemann

    Jun 30, 2026
    Colorado is most often associated with the Rocky Mountains—the dramatic skyline of fourteen-thousand-foot peaks that draws millions of visitors each year. Travelers arrive in Denver, explore the Front Range, and continue west toward the mountains. The state's identity is inseparable from these iconic landscapes.

    Living in the Abstract: Kinetic Light Photography by Andrew Wiener

    Jun 29, 2026
    Rooted in Wassily Kandinsky’s fundamental theory that many of our discoveries are composed of a knowledge of light, and informed by Futurist, Constructivist, and Rayonist principles, each photograph in this project is created entirely by shaping static beams or scaffolds of light through the controlled movement of a handheld Nikon Z5 digital camera.

    Flowers of the Soul: Cameraless Botanical Art by Cesare Di Liborio

    Jun 25, 2026
    Flowers of the Soul is one of several photographic projects that form part of my artistic research devoted to nature, a fundamental and enduring element of my creative practice. For me, the natural world has always represented not only an inexhaustible source of aesthetic inspiration but also a place for reflection and investigation into the relationship between human beings, time, and the transformation of matter.

    Where It Appears by Loredana Sansavini: Between Presence and Dissolution

    Jun 23, 2026
    This work is a sequence of perceptual states in which form is not stable but in continuous transformation. It is not constructed around subjects or narrative situations, but around conditions of visibility. The images emerge as events of perception: surfaces, reflections, fragments of light, and shadow that appear without stabilizing into fixed meaning.

    Deer Planet by Yoko Ishii: Sacred Deer and Human Boundaries in Japan

    Jun 16, 2026
    Deer graze, leave tracks, raise their young, and move through the seasons. They are no different from any other wild animal. Yet, through a curious turn of history, in the ancient Japanese city of Nara, they walk freely through streets, parks, shrines, and intersections alongside people.

    Donald Graham Explores Everyday Life in Cuba, What Remains

    Jun 12, 2026
    The photographs most often made in Cuba are easy to recognize. Vintage American cars. Colonial architecture. Revolutionary murals. Buildings marked by time, climate, and necessity. The visual language is so familiar that viewers can identify the country before reading the caption.

    Birds in the Urban Jungle by Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze

    Jun 9, 2026
    Amidst Hong Kong’s highly urbanised districts, a wide variety of bird species have made this jungle of glass and stone their home. The most commonly seen are spotted doves, pigeons, and sparrows. However, with a closer look, one can uncover many different species, such as bulbuls, blue magpies, starlings, black kites, great egrets, and even exotic cockatoos soaring freely through the urban canyons.

    Metamorpolis by Tim Franco: Documenting Chongqing’s Urban Transformation

    May 21, 2026
    Chances are you have seen the video. A monorail train threads directly through the middle of a residential tower block, passengers sitting calmly as it glides between floors. The clip went viral, shared millions of times, and Chongqing — the city where it happens every day — suddenly became one of the most talked-about destinations on social media.

    May 19, 2026
    Frenetic Tokyo is an extension of Zhou HanShun’s earlier series, Frenetic City, which examined the tension, velocity, and psychological density of urban life in Hong Kong. In this body of work, he shifts his focus to Tokyo, another hyper-concentrated metropolis shaped by relentless movement, layered infrastructures, and the compression of human activity.

    Barry Guthertz: Floraphilia in B&W Revisited and the Beauty of Botanical Forms

    May 19, 2026
    Photographing nature, especially botanicals, is pure joy for me. It gets me outdoors and out of my head. There is a childlike wonder when I step into a garden with my camera. I find peace and serenity from the distractions that, at times, can crowd out mindfulness. In this context, photography is both healing and therapeutic for me.
