India-Pakistan partition bloodbath resulted my then affluent family moving to New Delhi completely penniless and shattered. This resulted in massive insecurity within the family members.

It started as a hobby in 1996, later to become an acute passion and profession. I studied photography at the prestigious art institute “Triveni Kala Sangam” situated in Mandi House, New Delhi. After passing out from there I started shooting product photography for all major advertising agencies in New Delhi.

I am a strong believer in photography being a lifelong affair with learning and experimenting. Personally I tend to get bored soon doing similar images. As a photographer I have an inherent urge to continuously evolve both in style and technique. It is pertinent to say here that my images reflect to a large extent the void and emptiness I carry with me from my childhood till date. \nIsolation resulting because of the pandemic made me search rigorously for a style which I could call entirely my own.

Larson constructs temporary altar-like installations utilizing found objects, reclaimed materials, natural elements, cheaply printed photographs, and paint to accentuate their latent qualities and reframe their meaning. He creates large-format photographs of his constructions with a hyperreal lighting technique to create a final image that confounds expectations.\n\nChris' work is inspired by contemporary artists who use hybridized approaches to blur the boundaries between photography and other mediums: Daniel Gordon's peculiar tableaux constructed from inkjet prints of internet imagery, Lucas Blalock's unrefined illusory manipulations; or David Gilbert's touching temporary sculptural constructions. While sharing similar thematic and formal qualities with these artists, Larson integrates his experience in music, advertising, and the plastic arts to layer abstracted brand designs and faux iconography with expressive mark-making and visual noise.\n\nChris has shown work in over 30 cities across the US, with notable exhibitions at the Berkeley Museum of Art, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, and The Portland Art Museum NW Film Center.","user_id":739983,"name":"Chris Lael larson","website":"www.chrislaellarson.com"},{"id":656167,"bio":"Fine art photography, architectural arts and 2D models.

Having left school at 16, he went on to study photography at West Surrey College of Art and Design. His photographic career began when he started to work for the Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph Magazine in London and later with Agence Presse Sygma in Paris. \n\nDuring his time at Sygma (1980–85) he absorbed the skills of news photography, and also followed Henri Cartier-Bresson’s approach to photography; as he puts it, ‘curious, gentle, surreal with beautiful compositions – his work influenced just about everything I attempted.’ In his words, ‘At Sygma photographers arrived from Algeria, Iraq and Lebanon unloading their Domke bags and their stories. Later I felt confident enough to tell my own. I covered the 1983 Nigerian exodus, the Heysel Stadium disaster, the Beirut bombing of the French and American bases, the civil war there and in Sri Lanka, the conflict in Northern Ireland and finally the 1984–85 famine in Sudan.’ \n\nIn Khartoum Stuart shared a flat with Sebastião Salgado for a few weeks. Salgado worked with Magnum Photos in Paris – founded by Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, Robert Capa and George Rodger.

Thereafter he began to move away from news into magazine feature photography. Between 1990 and 2004 he photographed about twenty stories for National Geographic Magazine. During this time Stuart decided to pursue a better theoretical understanding of some of the issues he confronted, by embarking a period of academic study in 1997. He graduated with a first class degree in geography from Oxford University, and went on to complete his doctoral thesis there in 2002. \n\nIn 2005 he undertook the series of large-format photographs of Europe’s changing landscape that has led to his \nbook, Footprint: Our Landscape in Flux (Thames \u0026amp; Hudson, 2008).\n\nDuring 2009 Stuart travelled to Mali and the Middle East. Stuart co-curating the Noorderlicht Photo Festival 2009 with an exhibition entitled “Point of No Return” on the continuing conflict in Gaza. In a change of approach to documentary, Stuart undertook a course of training at the UK’s National Film and Television School in observational documentary. Subsequently Stuart worked on his first long form documentary Runners, together with film work for ESPN.\n\nDuring 2010 continued with the project: ‘Farmscapes’ supported and funded by the Scottish National Galleries.

That is at the heart of Dutch photographer Maarten Vromans' (1975, Rucphen) work and methods.\n\nWhenever Vromans travels from one place to another – be it on foot, by boat or by train – he methodically records the altering terrain that passes him by. This could be the eroded buildings in an anonymous urban setting, but also the untouched landscape of a remote region, or the infinite distance on unspoiled open water.\n\nVromans likes to move through transition areas: the no-man’s-land between residential, commercial and working environments; between built-up, cultivated and untouched areas. There, in places that apparently no longer belong to anyone, he makes photos that are tranquil, abstract and picturesque, and in which the subject always remains recognisable.\n\nAt the start of his career, Vromans’ photos were published in New Dutch Photography Talent (now known as GUP New), an annual publication showcasing the work of one hundred upcoming Dutch photographers. Since then, his work has been featured in both online and print magazines such as Broad, BuzzFeed and Aesthetica.\n\nIn recent years, Vromans’ work has been shown at fairs and exhibitions in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Ha","user_id":154982,"name":"Maarten Vromans","website":"www.maartenvromans.com"},{"id":702007,"bio":"","user_id":701423,"name":"Romina Caico","website":""},{"id":52635,"bio":"\nDiane Meyer received a BFA in Photography from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts in 1999 and an MFA in Visual Arts from The University of California, San Diego in 2002.

He received his BA from Princeton University, and his MFA from California College of the Arts, in addition to study at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. Maisel was a Scholar in Residence at the Getty Research Institute in 2007 and an Artist in Residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts in 2008. He became a trustee of the Headlands Center for the Arts in 2011. Maisel has been the recipient of an Individual Artist’s Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and was short-listed for the Prix Pictet in 2008. Maisel lives and works in the San Francisco area.\n\nMaisel’s practice has focused primarily on environmentally impacted sites, in a multi-chaptered series called \"Black Maps\". His large-scaled photographs show the physical impact on the land from industrial efforts such as mining, logging, water reclamation, and military testing. Because these sites are often remote and inaccessible, Maisel frequently works from an aerial perspective, thereby permitting images and photographic evidence that would be otherwise unattainable.\n\nIn Maisel’s recent project, Library of Dust, he continues to investigate a zone bordered by aesthetics and ethics. The series depicts individual copper canisters, each containing the cremated remains of patients from a state-run psychiatric hospital, whose bodies have been unclaimed by their families. The canisters are now blooming with colorful secondary minerals as the copper undergoes physical and chemical transformations.  Sublimely beautiful, yet disquieting, the enigmatic photographs are meditations on issues of matter and spirit.\n\nMaisel’s photographs, multi-media projects, and public installations have been exhibited internationally, and are included in many public collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum; the Brooklyn Museum of Art; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Yale University Art Gallery; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others. His work has been the subject of four monographs: The Lake Project (Nazraeli Press, 2004), Oblivion (Nazraeli Press, 2006), Library of Dust (Chronicle Books, 2008), and History's Shadow (Nazraeli Press, 2011).","user_id":1448,"name":"David Maisel","website":"www.davidmaisel.com"},{"id":1452,"bio":"Edward Burtynsky is known as one of Canada's most respected photographers. His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes are included in the collections of over fifty major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California.\n\nBorn in 1955 of Ukrainian heritage at St. Catharines, Ontario, Burtynsky is a graduate of Ryerson University (Bachelor of Applied Arts in Photography) and studied Graphic Art at Niagara College in Welland. He links his early exposure to the sites and images of the General Motors plant in his hometown to the development of his photographic work. His imagery explores the intricate link between industry and nature, combining the raw elements of mining, quarrying, manufacturing, shipping, oil production and recycling into eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most unlikely of places. In 1985, Burtynsky also founded Toronto Image Works, a darkroom rental facility, custom photo laboratory, digital imaging and new media computer-training centre catering to all levels of Toronto's art community. Mr. Burtynsky also sits on the board of directors for: Toronto’s international photography festival, Contact and The Ryerson Gallery and Research Center.\n\nExhibitions include Water (2013) at the New Orleans Museum of Art \u0026amp; Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans, Louisiana (international touring exhibition), Oil (2009) at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. (five-year international touring show), Manufactured Landscapes at the National Gallery of Canada (touring from 2003 - 2005), Before the Flood (2003), and China (toured 2005 - 2008). Burtynsky's visually compelling works are currently being exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada, in the United States, Europe and Asia.\n\nAn active lecturer on photographic art, Mr. Burtynsky's speaking engagements include the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, The Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the TED conference, Idea City, and Ryerson University in Toronto. His images appear in numerous periodicals each year, in the past among them are: Canadian Art, Art in America, The Smithsonian, Harper's Magazine, Flash Art, Blind Spot, Art Forum, Saturday Night, Playboy, National Geographic Society and the New York Times.\n\nMr. Burtynsky’s distinctions include the TED Prize, The Outreach award at the Rencontres d’Arles, The Flying Elephant Fellowship, Applied Arts Magazine book award(s), and the Roloff Beny Book award.

In 1956, he moved to New York City where he photographed jazz musicians for record covers. His early work was influenced by Eugène Atget, Robert Frank, and Walker Evans. In 1960, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded Friedlander a grant to focus on his art and made subsequent grants in 1962 and 1977. Some of his most famous photographs appeared in the September 1985 Playboy, black and white nude photographs of Madonna from the late 1970s. A student at the time, she was paid only $25 for her 1979 set. In 2009, one of the images fetched $37,500 at a Christie's Art House auction.\n\nWorking primarily with Leica 35mm cameras and black and white film, Friedlander's style focused on the \"social landscape\". His photographs used detached images of urban life, store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, and posters and signs all combining to capture the look of modern life.\n\nIn 1963, the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House mounted Friedlander's first solo exhibition. Friedlander was then a key figure in curator John Szarkowski's 1967 \"New Documents\" exhibition, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City along with Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus. In 1973, his work was honored in Rencontres d'Arles festival (France) with the screening \"Soirée américaine : Judy Dater, Jack Welpott, Jerry Uelsmann, Lee Friedlander\" présentée par Jean-Claude Lemagny. In 1990, the MacArthur Foundation awarded Friedlander a MacArthur Fellowship.\n\nFriedlander now works primarily with medium format cameras (e.g. Hasselblad Superwide).\n\nWhilst suffering from arthritis and housebound, he focused on photographing his surroundings. His book, Stems, reflects his life during the time of his knee replacement surgery. He has said that his \"limbs\" reminded him of plant stems. These images display textures which were not a feature of his earlier work. In this sense, the images are similar to those of Josef Sudek who also photographed the confines of his home and studio.\n\nHe was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Special 150th Anniversary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography in 2003. In 2005, the Museum of Modern Art presented a major retrospective of Friedlander's career, including nearly 400 photographs from the 1950s to the present. In the same year he received a Hasselblad International Award. The retrospective exhibition was presented again in 2008 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Concurrent to this retrospective, a more contemporary body of his work, America By Car, was displayed at the Fraenkel Gallery, also in San Francisco. America By Car was on display at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City in late 2010.","user_id":1499,"name":"Lee Friedlander","website":"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander"},{"id":1506,"bio":"","user_id":1506,"name":"Mario A","website":""},{"id":587977,"bio":"Bachelor of Fine Arts in Advertising/Graphic Design from The Academy of Art University, San Francisco.

Nature is a very wise teacher and working with photography gave me the great privilege to spend a lot out of time outdoor. This is where my heart lies and did ever since childhood. In my work I search for the meditative, the kind of in-between spaces revealing the magic that silently unfolds in the natural world all around us.\n\nIn a shamanic worldview, everything is connected and every single part in the universe reflects the cosmic web. This is the most ancient and intuitive knowledge of mankind. It is the impulse from the Great Unknown – the quantum processes of matter and consciousness unfolding in modern science. \n\nIn this infinite web life itself is sacred, and in almost every culture we find the myth of the sacred tree of life and local tales about sacred water, rocks and trees as powerful protectors and guardian spirits. \n\nTrees change their character especially after dark. When society slows down and people go to rest, nature is undisturbed by human activity. Trees transform– as we transform into dreamstate. They silently step forward in the night as strange and most amazing old beings – as ancient spirits with knowledge of the past and the wisdom of growth as key to our future.\n\nToday much of human action and our civilisation contradict the natural balance of the earth with imbalances and chaos as a result. Unlike so many of the indigenous cultures that still practice dream work, ritual, and thanksgiving, Western culture seems to have forgotten what man originally knew of the invisible realms and the importance of spiritual guidance.\n\nEvery hunt and every harvest, every birth and every death was marked with a ceremony – and each time the old stories were passed on, they were an important reminder of our journey between life and death.\n\nThe original myths are not just about people. They are about creation and a marvellous and sacred world of the strangest and most magnificent beings. Not just animals and humans, but also trees, plants, rocks and the life-giving water. Every living being on this planet has its own and completely unique kinship with the mystery of life and a sense of belonging to the earth. It is by no means something abstract; it is the bond that stretches in a long genetic chain to all our relatives, who walked the earth in an unbroken chain before us. \n\nLotte Tauber Lassen, 2021.\n\n\n","user_id":702150,"name":"Lotte Tauber Lassen","website":"lottetauberlassen.com"},{"id":121367,"bio":"I was that weird kid at school.

We seem to ignore - or perhaps we do not recognise - that nature, environment and humankind are intricately intertwined in the same moment. To discover it, we may need to look both at the surface and at the very depths of our internal, individual interpretation.\n\nThe aim of my work is to question how we perceive nature in and through human-made structures and vice versa. I use the environment, both natural and artificial, as a key device to let the viewer’s perception fluctuate over time.\n\nIn the recent works, it continuously fades into different meanings and forms another one together with the audience. The involvement of the audience makes the work perform sculptures that involve the audience. At a glance, the object looks quiet but it keeps changing its internal form dynamically and viewers perception. Viewers activate the work and be\u0026nbsp;activated by the work at the same time while they actively and/or passively move to see it.\n\nWhat I create is an invitation to question and figure out what you are seeing.","user_id":704525,"name":"Akihiro Boujoh","website":"akihiroboujoh.com"},{"id":90450,"bio":"Working as a freelance photo journalist for international magazines and newspapers.

Through acts of material intervention, the work sought not to restore the past, but to confront its lingering presence.\n\nIn METANOIA (2018), Huxham turned his attention to photography’s material foundations. Through experimental processes and reconstructed surfaces, images were destabilised and remade, challenging assumptions about perception, truth, and photographic certainty. The work explored how meaning emerges not only from what photographs depict, but from the conditions through which they are produced and experienced.\n\nHis most recent series, CONVERSATIONS WITH LIGHT (2025), returns to the archive through the photographic slides of his late grandfather. By scanning, rephotographing, and reimagining these fragile transparencies, Huxham enters into a dialogue across generations, tracing an inherited way of seeing while reflecting on memory, loss, and the impossibility of fully knowing those who came before us. In doing so, the work holds presence and disappearance in quiet tension.\n\nAcross his practice, photography becomes a process of return, transformation, and repair. Through reconstruction, fragmentation, and material intervention, Huxham creates spaces where memory can be revisited, unsettled, and reimagined, allowing photographs to function not as fixed records, but as living sites of encounter between past and present.","user_id":182892,"name":"Josh Huxham","website":""},{"id":706278,"bio":"I look to take candid snapshots of rapid moments that we often take for granted.

In 1956 he bought his first camera, a Brownie Flash, and in 1957 became a full-time photographer, opening his own studio (Studio Malick) in Bamako in 1958. He specialized in documentary photography, focusing particularly on the youth culture of the Malian capital. Sidibé took photographs at sport events, the beach, nightclubs, concerts, and even tagged along while the young men seduced girls. He increasingly became noted for his black-and-white studies of popular culture in the 1960s in Bamako. Musicians like Salif Keita and Ali Farka Touré came to international attention in the 1990s, at almost the same moment as Malian photography was being recognized. One of the best known of Sidibé's works from that time is Nuit de Noel, Happy Club (Christmas Eve, Happy Club) (1963), in which a smiling couple — the man in a suit, the woman in a Western party dress, but barefoot.\n\nIn the 1970s, Sidibé turned towards the making of studio portraits. His background in drawing became useful in a way that he was able to position people so they still appeared alive in photos rather than mummie like. People enjoyed the studio, it was different than others and had electricity which was a luxury at the time. Sidibé was able to increase his reputation through the first meetings on African photography in Mali in 1994.\n\nIn 2007, Sidibé became the first African and the first photographer to be awarded the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale. Robert Storr, the show’s artistic director, said, “No African artist has done more to enhance photography’s stature in the region, contribute to its history, enrich its image archive or increase our awareness of the textures and transformations of African culture in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st than Malick Sidibé.” In 2008, Sidibé was awarded the ICP Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement.","user_id":1522,"name":"Malick Sidibé","website":""},{"id":627067,"bio":"Been looking....been shooting.","user_id":626483,"name":"Stephen Hill","website":"www.stephenjhillphotography.com"},{"id":1525,"bio":"Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy, in 1944.\n\nHe moved to London after high school, where he studied Photography at the London College of Printing.\n\nIn the early Sixties he started working as a photojournalist, collaborating with many magazines and agencies in Italy and in Europe.

Speers’ subject matter ranges from the sinister innocence of youth, to the seeming immortality of millenials, the art of seduction, and portraits of real-life eccentric Parisians. As a fun personal side project, she is using her iPhone to photograph people wearing vintage handmade masks. Current work includes a follow-up of her Birthday Party portrait series, re-photographing her subjects as adolescents and young adults. \n\nSOLO EXHIBITIONS\n\n2012 – 2014 FNAC Spain (Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, Alicante, Sevilla, Zaragoza, Valencia).

The composition of the jury is changed from year to year, they operate independently, and a secretary who has no vote safeguards our fair and balanced judging procedure.\n\nOur archive of winning images is not only a record of more than half a century of human history, but a showcase of successive styles in photojournalism.\n\nABOUT THE FOUNDATION\n\nWorld Press Photo is committed to supporting and advancing high standards in photojournalism and documentary photography worldwide.
