Tribute to Joan Miro, El Raval, Barcelona, December 2015. The El Raval neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain used to also be known as the Chinatown of Barcelona. Today, almost half of the district’s population was born abroad, including many residents from the Middle East and South Asia. This "Tribute to Joan Miro" mural, honoring one of Barcelona's most famous artists, was painted on this El Raval streetcorner in 2014. © Tom Stahl

Neon Taxi. These ubiquitous taxicabs are an iconic element of the supercity. I tried to capture as many “HK elements” as I could in this one picture by getting up close to the vehicles in the foreground, and having the neon signages in the background and also on the windshield. 1/320 sec at f/6.8, ISO 3200.

Who's Driving You-10. The bustle and energy of London nightlife hums through the images, capturing the troubled times caused by London's rapidly changing economy and the rise of ride-sharing apps such as Uber. The dark portraits of taxi drivers at night are permeated by a poignant reflective light, juxtaposed with semi-abstract images of traffic in the evening glow. "In my job as a photographer I use Uber cars, black cabs and mini cabs to travel between shoots. During these journeys I noticed an underlying weight in the air as a result of current conflicts between app and black cab, card and cash. Noticing this mood, in an idle moment between jobs, I began taking a series of photos of cabbies lost in their thoughts. These haunting portraits are ones most passengers and Londoners are usually unaware of, as they ride in the seat behind." © oleg tolstoy

Polo's Hands. Polo, a man whose life has been beset by abuse, drug use and gang violence, shows me his hands. They represent the work he has done to over come his gang past and move towards his religious future. His "OG" hand tattoos win him respect on the streets but his heart is in the church.

There is a certain bleakness assumed by a country that has been plagued by decades of war. In Afghanistan particularly, the landscape gives evidence of warfare—beggars wounded by bomb blasts grovel for spare change, educational opportunities are sparse, and citizens struggle to provide their families with basic necessities, even safe drinking water. Yet in the midst of this hardship, there exists a vibrant civilian life—one that is equally religious, playful and beautifully mundane. Small family-owned shops buzz with business, mosques host religious ceremonies, children turn trash into playgrounds, and neighbors play games in the streets. Afghanis perhaps best exhibit the resiliency of human spirit. © Moe Zoyari

Kensington and Somerset. Maria: I’ve been here almost 8 years and I see a lot of bad stuff going around and I don’t, they say when you go between it, you gonna do it too. That’s a lie, but I’m, my daughter’s right now, she’s 11 years old and I’m tired of her seeing this... Robert: Damn, the only people we know out here is, is junkies... this is better than HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, everything combined. You don’t need no cable, you don’t have to watch TV. You just gotta sit out here. You see drama, you see soap opera, you see violence, crime. Maria: You even see sex. © Jeffrey Stockbridge

#4ab STATIC TENSIONS. STATIC TENSIONS City Spaces. Changing. Mass Media Advertising. Ruling. Fictional Reality. Facing. Visual Overload. Drifting. Static Tensions. Growing. A Storm of Light and Shadows. 24/7. Noise. The series STATIC TENSIONS is about the impact of the omnipresent mass media advertising in urban spaces. The paired images reflect the tensions we are confronted with when we walk through the city. So the dyptichs show two separate photographed urban street scenes. Candid, not staged but always subjective. Currently the series contains 46 images, taken in Germany, Great Britain, Austria and Italy. © Oliver Raschka

Walking on the Shadow Wall. It can be hard to wait for 'the decisive moment' standing on top of a tower, the setting sun and the remaining time in the neck, observing a crowded place, people permanently passing by while I was having an idea on my mind. Then, suddenly, it happened: only this couple was approaching the stairs, alone just for one second. My hands (and my camera) were shaking when I caught the moment: this couple walking hand in hand on the shadow wall. © Tender Summerwind

Pile high in a delicate balance. People here in Shanghai (and perhaps all over China) go to extraordinary length, regardless of personal safety, in order to make a living.

Being Solo 14-08-2014. Where is she? I don't think she's there on the sidewalk, not in her mind. Looking at her expression I think she's somewhere we don't know. This does not make her a fashionable blond woman in a white dress like others, this makes her a person with whom we can identify our selves. That's what's fascinates me. We are individuals, personalities, no matter where we are and what we look like. © Martijn Steiner Lovisa
