He holds a Photography Technician Diploma, an Advanced Diploma in Film \u0026amp; Television Production Techniques, a BAFA Honors and a MFA (2019) from the Michaelis School of Fine Art at UCT. He is part of The African Film Library, and in 2012, he was published in the book South African Cinema 1896 – 2010 by Dr. Martin Botha. The book focuses on the many highly creative uses of cinematic form, style, and genre set against South Africa’s complex and often turbulent social and political landscape. In the same year he took part in the group exhibition Environment and Object: Recent African Art at the Frances Young Tang Museum in New York. In 2013 he was nominated for the Prix Pictet Global Award in Photography and Sustainability. He was part of the Johannesburg Art Fair (2016) and Cape Town Art Fair with Warren Editions (2017, 2018). In 2019 he was awarded the Tierney Fellowship Award for Photography representing UCT. His MFA dissertation, of still and moving images, documented the political ecology of primary hardwood forests along the imaginary line of the equator in Africa, South East Asia and South America. In 2021 Barnard Gallery and Foto Black Box presented his solo exhibition LINE. In 2021-2022 Meyer taught photography at the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography. His most recent thematic exploration Barrier investigates a re-imagination and narrative shift of how we as societies consider gender borders. The photograph and object become counter- arguments, metaphors, allegories, cultural indexes and symbols of the  complexities of fragility and transgression against the queer body. In 2024 Meyer was a part of the Investec Art Fair in Cape Town.

A \"on the road\" trip to Patagonia in 2016 was a turning point: there I started taking my first pictures, changing my way of observing reality. Looking at the works of great photographers such as Fan Ho, Sergio Larrain, Josef Koudelka, Mario Giacomelli and Paolo Pellegrin, I began to develop a deep interest in composition, the use of light and the strength of subjects. From that moment, the desire to build and nurture my own vision and style was born in me. After several trips that have fueled this need, I decided to dedicate myself completely to photography and photojournalism this year after attending an advanced workshop in Peru, in the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River, under the guidance of master Ernesto Bazan. During this experience I made Bajo las Nubes, a black and white report that consists of an interpretation of the ancient Andean cult linked to Pacha Mama, the Mother Earth. This experience was fundamental from the photographic point of view, prompting me to investigate the complexity of the relationship between man and environment.","user_id":791443,"name":"Giordano Simoncini","website":""},{"id":810152,"bio":"I am a woman whose greatest muse in photography is my daughter. As a lawyer by profession and a lover of photography, I recognize that I still have a long way to go to become a photographer in the fullest sense of the word. However, my life plan is to combine both passions at some point.\nI am particularly drawn to documentary photography, as I believe it serves as a means of recording the passage of time and space, showcasing the reality of our daily lives, and acting as a tool in the fight against inequality, while also highlighting the beauty that surrounds us. I believe in the purity of photography, which is why I edit my work only minimally. I do not wish to lose the essence of what the lens captures. In my opinion, a heavily edited photograph is more characteristic of “a graphic designer who takes photographs.” I am committed to conveying images and the reality of what the lens captures as it is.

Using natural lighting and soft lines, Trumpp offers a fresh perspective on nudity. Imbued with tranquil self-confidence, her muses possess a natural feeling of respectful elegance, highlighted by strength and breathtaking beauty. Often depicted in the muffled intimacy of their private spaces, they carelessly unveil their femininity while silently lost in deep thought. Are they reminscing the memories of a long-lost lover? Or waiting for one to return? Trumpp's seductive nude art triggers a narrative based on thoughtful emotions rather than primary instincts.\n\nJust as the great painters of all eras found their motifs in nature, Tina Trumpp also devotes part of her photo art to this genre. Her ideal landscapes are presented in a majestic and magnificent way in the style of Caspar David Friedrich where the viewer is asked to reflect on these vast, enigmatic expanses and secret spaces of nature. The expanse of the sea for exampe invites to think, but at the same time opens up the possibility of letting thoughts flow freely.

Laureato in Architettura al Politecnico di Milano con una tesi su spazio, percezione e fragilità dal titolo “6 GRADI DI SEPARAZIONE”. Lavora principalmente con la fotografia, impostando la propria ricerca su temi molto personali, realizzando immagini che vanno a riprendere e ricostruire ricordi, sensazioni passate o emozioni transitorie attraverso elementi che possano suggerirli. Le sue fotografie spesso raffigurano particolari, sono immagini tagliate, mostrate appena, inquadrano qualcosa che vuole evocare altro. I progetti legano queste immagini attraverso un racconto dal linguaggio cinematografico. Ha realizzato mostre personali e collettive e ha partecipato a rassegne multidisciplinari in Italia e all’estero. Nel 2008 il progetto “Bluesman”, incentrato sulla diversità, è stato esposto in occasione della IX edizione del festival internazionale di arte contemporanea di Barcellona BAC! 08 Réveille-toi! al CCCB Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. Dal 2011 collabora con l’Associazione Culturale Tapirulan e Guido Scarabottolo in progetti di illustrazione e grafica.

In 2009 during the public protests, after the so called Iranian elections, I was assigned by my agency to document the events. Some of my images were smuggled out of Iran and published by international magazines, one was choosen for the cover of the 29 june 2009 edition of Time Magazine. Within few days I had to leave Iran permanently since the government was trying to arrest me for my images published abroad. I had also to leave my studies behind. I have since lived in Turkey and in 2010 been living in Oslo, Norway.

After studying law in Brussels and political science in Belgium and Latvia, I moved to Moscow in 2006. It was there, immersed in a new culture, that my self-taught practice as a photographer began to take shape, blending personal exploration with documentary storytelling.\n\nIn 2013, I traveled across Russia by taxi, from West to East. This journey revealed a rapidly changing country but also traces of the Russia I first encountered in its museums and galleries. Immersing myself in Russian art shaped my approach to photography, drawing inspiration from the raw, unfiltered style of the 1980s and 1990s, where political and social upheavals took center stage.\n\nIn 2015, I moved to London and refined my documentary practice further. Covering Trump’s 2016 campaign in the U.S., where SLR cameras were banned, I began using iPhone camera exclusively. This shift reconnected me to the timeless quality of ancient photographs found in our family attic, where imperfections were part of the story. This evolution culminated in Lost in TrumpNation, my 2019 solo exhibition in London.\n\nSince 2019, I’ve lived in Russia, where I continue to explore life through my lens.

Langmann is looking for ways to make the unspeakable, underlying elements of his images tangible or at least palpable for the viewer. Landscapes and objects become 'projection surfaces' for his thoughts and feelings, as well as for those of the viewer. The concept of emptiness, which originates in zen-buddhism plays a decisive role for him. Similar to classical Japanese ink paintings sumi-e Langmann uses mostly empty, almost white surfaces, on which he presents his sparingly arranged subjects. Where sumi-e artists use the white of the unpainted paper, Langmann deploys snowsurfaces and overexposed grey skies or water surfaces, which seem to disappear into infinity. On these surfaces, which he likes to refer to as 'resonating spaces', he orchestrates minimalistic and quiet gestures of human kind or nature. \n\nHis works have been shown in national and international exhibitions as well as art fairs. He has won many international awards, most prominently Photographer of the Year at the One Eyeland Awards, fine art photographer of the year at the Black and White Zebra Awards, a gold medal at the Moscow International Photography Awards and two silver awards at Px3 de la Paris.

Trained in photography during the 1960‘s, he had to wait until a sustained remission from illness to begin this work in 2000. He grew up in Sioux City, IA, and attended David West’s photography classes at the Sioux City Art Center. Shapiro\u0026nbsp;photographed family with a Kodak Brownie, and by age 14, was shooting local events and industrial work. Earning an advanced degree in writing and translation, he worked as a writer, editor, and instructor until 1999, then returned full time to photography. Between work on Inuit and Lakota projects, Shapiro embedded himself with a rodeo company and traveled, making photographs of cowboys and rodeo workers.\n\n\"For me, photography’s challenge is in meeting the demands of both subject and discipline. I’m attracted to juxtaposition, gesture, and shape; but some of my work is motivated by anger. How can anyone make photos of the homeless and foreclosed without getting angry? How can you shoot humans intruding upon, erecting, and abandoning, without at least wondering about their total lack of imagination?\"\n\nShapiro’s immersive approach to photographing people and places has resulted in 4 books, including Paris,  Inuit, Urban Geometry, and upcoming, Urban Journal, and recent series: Border Towns, Touch of Humanity, Time Off, and Caffetto’s Cafe.\n\nRecent exhibitions include Phipps Center for the Arts (2014-15); Minneapolis Photo Center (2012); Independent Film Project, Minneapolis (2012); Minnetonka Center for the Arts (2011); Intermedia Arts, Minneapolis (2010); and Springfield (IL) Art Association (2010).

The way I can crack a joke and ease the tension of a group of people to feel comfortable allows them to showcase their best selves. Life is more rewarding when it’s spent serving. \n\nThe arts influenced the importance of being creative, timely, and thorough with how I create stimulating work that is thought-provoking. I use visual examples and paint a picture of the experience to get an emotional response from the story being told. When I get a chance to do that with my photography I can stir that reaction without words.  \n\nMy first camera took 110 film and I got it from a cereal box when I was five. I still shoot film, process in my kitchen sink, and scan in at home. I own pocket rangefinders for street photography, Mirrorless \u0026amp; DSLRs for weddings and events, and my iPhone 12 Pro for everyday work. I have had therapy dog photographs published in ABQ The Magazine and New Mexico High Desert Dogs.

I love to laugh, crack jokes, and be that ear to bend when you need something. When I share my emotions, encouragement, and practice of social intelligence with our team I feel connected in the work we do.

Trained as a director of photography, he worked for thirty years in moving images and music before choosing photography as his primary medium of creation. This shift is not a rupture but a continuity: his images carry the rigor of cinema, the rhythm of electronic music, and the intensity of visual storytelling.\n\nFor more than twenty years, he has walked alone through cities around the world, most often at night. It is a ritual: wandering for hours, waiting for the light to shift, seizing the instant when reality fractures. His photographs do not show the city as it is, but as it appears when the world sleeps and silence takes back the space. Always devoid of human presence, his works turn the ordinary into fiction: a shop window, a staircase, a parking lot become scenes of a silent cinema.\n\nA key element of his practice is the use of colored light—flash or even a simple flashlight—to disrupt the nocturnal urban landscape. With one stroke of artificial color, a familiar place becomes uncanny, estranged, almost otherworldly. This simple gesture creates a portal to a parallel reality, where architecture and shadow shift into fiction. Many viewers believe these surreal hues are added in post-production, but they are in fact created on site, at the very moment of capture.\n\nHis approach is uncompromising. Each image is framed with rigor, refined in depth, cleaned of distracting elements, polished to balance. Étienne does not embellish—he reveals. He describes his works as “archaeologies of silence”: urban fragments sculpted by light, where strangeness and poetry rise from the shadows.\n\nSince 2024, he has fully embraced photography as his main medium. His strategy is clear: to produce little, but with strength. His prints are rare (often 3 editions only), in very large format, produced on high-end supports (Hahnemühle paper, alu-dibond, wooden floating frame). He refuses the logic of volume, choosing rarity and value instead. To collect his work today is to enter early into a journey that has only just begun—with the certainty of aesthetic, technical, and emotional coherence.\n\nÉtienne has already exhibited in France, Dubai, the Emirates, Beijing and Shenzhen, and sold series to prestigious collectors and institutions such as Kevin Barry Fine Art in Los Angeles. He has been published in international magazines and is gaining growing visibility. Yet he considers himself still at the beginning of the path.\n\nHis goal is clear: to pursue his nocturnal wanderings in Asia, the United States, and beyond, to create ever rarer images, and to share this singular vision through exhibitions, selective sales, and curated collaborations.\n\nÉtienne Perrone’s photography is not decorative—it is immersive. These are images to inhabit, doors opening to a silent, luminous elsewhere. A demanding, rare body of work, anchored in time, whose value can only grow.","user_id":258212,"name":"Étienne Perrone","website":"www.etienneperrone.com"},{"id":399881,"bio":"Probing the intersection of geometry, light and unique subjects, I take unconventional views and turn them into photographic stories.","user_id":399297,"name":"William OSuch","website":"www.osuchphotography.com"},{"id":29958,"bio":"Fabio Itri is a documentary photographer based in Calabria, Italy.\n\nAfter graduating in philosophy he specialized in advertising and in 2009 started photographing.\nIn 2013 he attended a specialization course in reportage photography at the Istituto Superiore di Fotografia in Rome.

Tribute to one of the most appreciated characters of the Calvinian stories, Mr. Palomar, a man dedicated to observation, examiner of precise acts or objects.\n\nTwo photographic projects, “LINE UP” and “I’M NOT INK,” with an artistic philosophy deeply rooted in the pursuit of simplicity, composition, and individuality. Here is a summary and interpretation of the main ideas:\n\nLINE UP - Align\n\nA project dedicated to simplicity and compositional precision.\n• Core Concept: The human presence is transformed into a vehicle of lines, curves, and perspectives, harmonized within the compositional space. The aim is to create images that balance symmetry and asymmetry, fullness and emptiness, with an almost sculptural intentionality.\n• Creative Process: Each image is slowly constructed, like a work of art, through a process of continuous refinement. Light becomes a tool for sculpting, akin to marble for a sculptor.\n• Philosophy: These are not classic portraits but self-portraits of the photographer—a synthesis of their emotions, emotional involvement, and search for order and inner peace.\n\nI’M NOT INK\n\nA project that explores the human and narrative dimension of women.\n• Main Objective: To shift the focus from the body as a canvas for decoration to the individuality of the person. To interpret these models in a way that reveals their personal stories and their identity as women, beyond the stereotypes of being seen as “objects.”\n• Creative Approach: A contrast to traditional photographic approaches. The models, often accustomed to being valued only aesthetically on social media, are involved in a process that seeks to uncover their essence and inner strength.\n\nCommon Themes in Both Projects\n1. Simplicity as Complexity: Simplicity is not a given, but something constructed, requiring renunciation and precision.\n2. Slowness and Intentionality: Both projects are an exercise in patience and care, where nothing is random, and everything is built through successive approximations.\n3. The Photographer’s Central Role: The image does not merely portray the subject but also reflects the emotional state and perspective of the photographer. Photography becomes a dialogue between the artist and the subject, a collaboration that leads to a harmonious synthesis.\n\nThis work evokes a classical aesthetic reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, focusing on the emotional and human value behind the image.","user_id":538076,"name":"Francesco Chinazzo","website":"www.studiopalomar.it"},{"id":101819,"bio":"Born in 1977, in the Eastern Townships (Quebec), Canada, Julie Beauchemin discovered photography some ten years ago and has followed many photography and visual arts trainings since.

My work is rooted in an unshakable love for nature and a determination to protect the fragile beauty that remains.\n\nI see animals as they truly are: deeply emotional, intelligent, conscious beings with distinct personalities. This is why I love to portray them in a way that honours their individuality — their softness, their strength, their character, their soul. Every encounter is personal, and every image is a dialogue between their world and mine.\n\nPhotography keeps me searching, evolving, and creating; it is more than a craft — it is a way of life. Through my lens, I try to reveal not only what we can see, but also what we can feel: connection, presence, and the unspoken truth of the wild.\n\nNature is where I find peace and serenity. When I am out in the elements — exposed to wind, silence, dust, rain, sun and open space — I feel grounded, humble and profoundly grateful. These moments bring me back to myself. They remind me of the beauty that still exists and the urgency with which we must protect it.\n\nFor years, Africa has shaped my vision and my purpose. I have travelled its remote corners from East to West, documenting what still exists — and what is at risk of being lost forever. I work alongside conservation projects, particularly those protecting endangered species such as rhinos, using my images to amplify their efforts and bring attention to the crises they face.\n\nEvery photograph I create is a call to action. I want people to see the soul of an animal, feel the truth of a disappearing habitat, and understand that we are running out of time.\n\nMy mission is clear:\nto inspire awareness, awaken responsibility, and ignite protection.\nPhotography is my voice, and I use it to defend the wild — fiercely, passionately, and with the hope that together we can still change the future.","user_id":733789,"name":"Sabine Miorini","website":"sabinemiorini.com"},{"id":745265,"bio":"","user_id":742268,"name":"Jermaine Addo-Yeboah","website":"www.jayeboah.com"},{"id":779482,"bio":"Discover the artistry of H.R.

Mit der Piste vor der Haustüre entwickelte er rasch eine Leidenschaft für Wintersport und war deshalb als Teenager Mitbegründer einer lokalen Freestyle-Community (Shaba Cru). Mit der Sportart als Verbindendes Element, unternahmen die Freunde immer wieder Ausflüge in Skigebiete der ganzen Welt - im Jahr 2006 zum ersten Mal in die USA. Foto- und Filmkameras zählten wie Snowboards und Skis zum Standart-Equipment der Gruppe dazu. So kam es, dass Maurin während der ersten USA-Reise die Kamera eines Freundes auslieh und sich als Fotograf versuchte. Sein Interesse war geweckt. Zu Hause angekommen, erlitt er eine Verletzung an der Schulter und musste deshalb dem Sport fernbleiben. Zumindest aus eigener Perspektive. Glück im Unglück genutzt, kaufte er sich seine erste eigene Kamera und begleitete die Gruppe weiter, hinter der Linse am Pistenrand. Bereits ein Jahr später schneite es ihm die ersten Aufträge rein, wonach er 2011 nach Luzern zog und sich als Fotograf selbstständig machte.\nVermehrt konzentrierte sich Maurin in seinen Motiven auf Portraits und Landschaften und entscheid sich dann, nur noch analog zu Fotografieren. «Es steckt einfach mehr dahinter», meint der gelernte Maurer, «angefangen beim Film, den man von Hand einlegt, über die Entwicklung des Negativs bis hin zur Vergrösserung im Labor – du hältst etwas in den Händen. Das passt einfach besser zu mir.»\nVor vier Jahren wurde der Lions Club Wolhusen/Entlebuch auf Maurins Bilder aufmerksam. Ganz nach dem Leitbild «We Serve» - Wir Dienen - unterstützt der Club internationale Hilfs- wie lokale Projekte aus der Region. Damals hatte Maurin gerade seine Velotour zum Schwarzen Meer hinter sich und einen Kopf voller Ideen, wo er als nächstes hinreisen will. Da kam ihm die Unterstützung des Clubs entgegen. So ging sie weiter, seine Reise, die ihren Ursprung in Osteuropa fand, weiter in den Norden Finnlands, nach Afrika, Jamaica und immer wieder zurück nach Hause ins vertraute Entlebuch. Resultat seiner vielfältigen Reiseerfahrungen sind analoge Bilder, die nun in Form seines ersten Fotobuches «Forward», anlässlich des 40-jährigen Jubiläums vom Lions Club Wolhusen, erscheinen. Mit seinen Bildern beweist Maurin viel Sensibilität für Motiv und Komposition.","user_id":92922,"name":"Maurin Bisig","website":"www.maurin-bisig.ch"},{"id":93806,"bio":"Leah Dyjak (1981, Springfield MA) received their BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2006 and their MFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015.

Born and raised in Alaska, Wolf's work is deeply influenced by the profound presence and absence of light in her surroundings.

Wolf believes in the power of art as a collaborative endeavor that builds communities, and this belief led her to co-found FO(u)RT Collective, a multi-disciplinary arts collective that creates and curates exhibitions and events, fostering artistic camaraderie.\n\nWolf's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including in Germany, Hungary, Canada, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Portland.
