NOIR by Éric Leleu Explores Light, Color and Shadow
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.

Fading Shehuo by Chris Yan Captures the Lasting Spirit of Shehuo
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. Originating from the primitive worship of land and fire by ancient Chinese ancestors, this distinctive folk custom has undergone continuous evolution and transmission over thousands of years.

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



Different People, Different Stories by Muhammad Alhawashi
Different People, Different Stories is an ongoing documentary photography project that explores the lives of ordinary people whose stories often remain unseen despite their essential role in society. The project is built on a simple yet powerful belief: every person has a story worth telling.

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


Silent Apparatus: Urban Silence by Shinji Ichikawa
Silent Apparatus is a series that looks at the moment when places and objects made for human use begin to appear slightly detached from their usual roles. Slides, covered cars, tunnels, tennis courts, signals, roofs, and dark water appear in the work.

Birds in the Urban Jungle by Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze
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
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.





Zhou HanShun Captures the Speed and Isolation of Tokyo in Frenetic Tokyo
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
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.

After Hurricane Sandy by Steve Hoffman: Photography, Homelessness and Human Trust
In the summer of 1990, Steve Hoffman began to use his camera in a completely different way. Until then, photography had only been something occasional for him, limited to vacations, holidays, and family moments. He had never considered it an important part of his life, nor did he imagine it could eventually become such a meaningful form of expression.

New York City by Pelin B. Guven: Fleeting Moments of Urban Life
I photograph people moving through public space, often during fleeting moments when something internal briefly becomes visible on the surface. A gesture, an expression, a moment of tension, distraction, vulnerability, humor, or isolation can suddenly emerge and disappear again within seconds. These are the moments I am most drawn to.

Bluest Bruise by Joan Haseltine: A Handmade Artist Book on Pain, Nature and Healing
Joan Haseltine is a visual artist whose work revolves around complex ideas of perception and the exploration of emotional intelligence from a female perspective. Through psychological landscapes and portraits, she examines the layered realities women experience throughout their lives, addressing themes such as gender-based violence, cultural expectations, emotional labor, and the constant pressure to balance multiple roles simultaneously.

Pietà: Alena Grom Explores Maternal Grief During the War in Ukraine
Pietà is a long-term documentary photography project by Alena Grom focusing on mothers who have lost their sons in the war in Ukraine. The project explores a form of grief that neither ends nor can be fully resolved, because the death of a child does not sever the emotional bond between mother and son — it transforms it




Matthew Finley: AN IMPOSSIBLY NORMAL LIFE and Alternative Family Histories
With few examples of happy, openly queer lives to look back on before the 1970s — and even less visual evidence of them — Finley creates an alternative narrative for the uncle he never had the chance to know. It is a life story in which fluidity in sexuality and gender is accepted as the norm: a life filled with friendship, adventure, authenticity, and love.


Silver Light: Atmospheric Environmental Photography by Richard Alan Cohen
I am a conceptual landscape photographer who focuses on the environment to express my respect for nature. One of the aspects of photography that I find most compelling is understanding what drives photographers to dedicate their time and energy to particular projects, and how, over time, the creative process transforms those projects into something deeply personal.


Dan Fenstermacher’s Food Chain: Life and Survival on Ghana’s Coast
Every day, fishermen from the seaside towns of Prampram, Cape Coast, and Ada, Ghana, head out to sea, where they fish up to 40 kilometers offshore. For generations, families in these communities have fished the Atlantic Ocean. What they catch determines the livelihood of their communities and families.
