The residents spoke Korean, Mandarin and some were fluent in Russian, but I had no use for learning any of those languages.\nInstead, I tried to find a way to talk, outside the realm of words. With movement, with shape, and with image.\nPhotography came to me naturally. It exists outside the confines of traditional language. It has it’s own logic and system of expression. A photograph doesn’t have to be read, it does not have to be heard. It just is. Look at it.\nAs a Chinese man living in New York, I have taken photography as my true native tongue. My work is focused on trying to explore and expand the possibilities of photography as a method of communication.

Roubeni’s father dreamed of pursuing the arts but was unable to, due to the cultural, political, and religious climate of his home country. He instead shifted his focus towards business to provide for his family in a new country and passed down his Hasselblad to his son, Rad. Roubeni’s love for the arts and especially photography grew from there—he felt a need to capture the world around him and the camera was the perfect vehicle for him to do so. At the young age of 12, Rad’s passion and drive for the medium were so evident that the Chair of the Art Department at the International School of Hamburg took note and began to personally mentor the artist.\n\nUnder the Chair’s mentorship, Rad began work on his first exhibition. He photographed his classmates as criminals in mugshots, assigning each a fictional character. The culmination of this project was two large-scale plaques comprising the series of mugshots that were hung in the main hall of Roubeni’s school. The school’s response to the plaques was palpable—students clustered in front of the pieces admiring the characters their own faces came to embody in the images—and Roubeni felt a profound gratification in seeing how his work was received. This moment set the stage for the growth of the artist and his aspirations in the art world. It also represented the first time Roubeni encountered the censorship of his work, when they were removed that same day after a teacher had deemed them inappropriate. Within one day, Rad had faced both the highs and lows of the art world, and this first curbing of his work has led to a lifelong fervor for artistic freedoms.\n\nRoubeni later moved to New York, where he attended the Pratt Institute and earned a BFA in Media Arts, encompassing film, photography and design.

I was always in awe of the majestic Himalayas. It was only, when I started to learn photography and photograph indigenous peoples, I came to realise that here in Himalayas was a niche unexplored. As they were remote and inaccessible. \n\nMy journey as an artist and philanthropist commenced, when I decided to document Himalayan people for preserving the authenticity of cultural traditions in a rapidly changing world. At the onset of my independent project, I soon realised, peoples struggles of survival had to be highlighted. That became the driving force of the projects. For me, Photography is a conduit in visual story telling and imagery. An intuitive gift of human connection that allows me to focus on the people living in extreme conditions on the periphery of society. Placing myself \"out there“ without inhibition entails a flow of positive energy between people, vital to all human interactions. Venturing into the Himalayas takes emotional courage as one faces the unknown in areas prone to political strife and environmental flux. The Himalayan range from Bhutan, Kashmir and China is home to varied ethnic groups, whose way of life is in itself unique.

Working with an immense variety of single images, comprised of a multitude of focal points with a play of light and illumination in each individual photograph, the whole picture then develops into an endless amount of dimension and a fascinating expression of movement.Throughout this process, the botanical images exude an extraordinary depth and captivating form of movement. The process that I use when producing my botanical still-life is quite complicated.\n\nMy complete photographic process may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. I like to observe the plant to find out what aura it displays and what it possesses to make it so unique.Following this, I usually have the final image compiled in my mind. Then I tend to work backwards. I take the plant apart and photograph each piece under different lighting situations and depth of field. After completing this, I then use a computer programme to put it together in order to create my final composition.\n\nObserving the negative space between objects first is critical, for this plays a very important role in the final design.\n\nMy Forest and Element Series consists of up to 300 single images. I photograph each individual tree etc., some in focus, and others out of focus. I will sometimes photograph the same trees throughout a period of a week or year at various times. All this provides the viewer with a unique representation of nature.\n\nThe viewer feels drawn into these images and finds himself immersed in the work. They leave reality behind, and imagine themselves in that particular time and place. One becomes mesmerized by the unique depth of field and surreal movement of the plant or forest.\n\nI have been trying to perfect this technique throughout many years and I believe that my process gives the plant a smooth, flowing movement that I would see in nature but often tend to miss.

As a self-taught artist Brake uses his artistic ability to work in multiple forms of media artworks including photography, digital art, photo manipulation, and sculpture. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, Brake tries to increase the dynamic between audience and artist by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations.\n\nBrake's artwork often leans towards the darker side of things with the intent to conveying hidden meanings and never revealing the full story. This results in the fact that the artist can easily imagine an interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. For the audience, this leaves them with the ability to draw their own conclusions and debate their own interpretation of the artwork they are faced with.\n\nHis works are often about contact with the basic living elements. Energy (heat, light, and water), people, space, and landscape are examined in less obvious ways and sometimes re-structured and developed in absurd ways. By manipulating the viewer to generate emotional responses, he often creates several practically identical works, upon which thoughts that have apparently just been developed are manifested: notes are made and then crossed out again, ‘mistakes’ are repeated.\n\nBrake's works are on the one hand touchingly beautiful, on the other hand painfully attractive.

My fascination with photography began during my school days, experimenting with film rolls and darkroom chemicals. Over time, I seamlessly transitioned into the contemporary digital medium while preserving the essence of traditional techniques.\nMy artistic exploration delves into themes deeply rooted in the human experience—ruins, architecture, urban landscapes, and the evocative memories of life itself. Each image I create reflects a poignant juxtaposition of abundance and loneliness, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of existence.\nPracticing alternative photographic methods has become a cornerstone of my current artistic practice, adding a layer of experimentation and uniqueness to my creations. Embracing the fluidity of space and the non-linear passage of time, my diptych and triptych compositions serve as portals to alternate dimensions where past and present converge. Memory takes center stage, particularly as I explore the early stages.\nMy contributions to the world of lens-based art have been recognized by esteemed organizations, including being named a finalist in Lens Culture HOME'21 and receiving the Honorable Mention at PX3 2017 by Le Prix de la Photographie Paris.

He currently teaches photography as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Texas at Arlington. Scott began working with hand-made photo processes while in grad school, and settled into tintype in 2009.  He freely admits it was nearly three years later until he really knew what he was doing.\n\nBryan Wing retired from competitive bearding in 2011, after receiving numerous \"Honorable Mention\" awards for his facial hair achievements. He earned an AA in Photography from Collin College in Plano, TX, and is currently pursuing a BA in Photography from Texas Woman's University.\n\nScott and Bryan met when Scott was teaching a darkroom photography class at Collin College in Plano, TX, and Bryan was the evening lab technician.  Project Barbatype was born in a conversation when Scott mentioned his efforts at perfecting tintype portrait techniques, and Bryan mentioned his thought of doing a photo project on Beard and Moustache Competitors.

This work was\nsupported by grants from the Alicia Patterson Foundation, The Fund for\nInvestigative Journalism, The Knight International Press Fellowship and The Open\nSociety Foundation. Violentology was awarded the first Tim Hetherington Prize,\ngiven by the World Press Photo Foundation and Human Rights Watch for the longterm\ncoverage of human rights issues. The book was also named Best Photography Book of 2012 by several international juries.\n\nIn formal terms, Stephen Ferry´s work emphasises the material aspects of photography with a notable interest in texture. His books and exhibitions communicate through the\nsense of touch as well as sight. While thoroughly versed in digital processes, his\nheart remains with silver-gelatin photography and film grain.\n\nStephen Ferry is currently preparing La Batea,  Impresiones hechas en Colombia (Tragaluz, 2015) a book about artisanal gold work in Colombia.","user_id":132841,"name":"Stephen Ferry","website":"www.stephenferry.com"},{"id":133692,"bio":"BK Skaggs a photographer living in Chandler, Arizona; a state that he has traveled extensively in upon returning in 1994.

In doing so, she aims to use this research to inform participatory arts based interventions that challenge Islamaphobia against muslim women by amplifying muslim women voices and creating avenues for digital storytelling in which these voices are agents in their narrative. \n\nAla’s work documents the social and political tension around us today. The aim is to raise awareness by presenting events through different perspectives in hopes that it may also bring about change.\n\nShe is also the co-founder of Gorm media.  an impact-focused digital media start-up with a mission of unifying across differences and advancing belonging for marginalised communities. And a borad memeber of Amal Women's Association. A Muslim women-led organisation. It provides front-line services to Muslim women connected to the Muslim community nationwide.
