From here she developed into the photographer she is today, with a recognizable style. \nA few words from the dutch journalist Gijs Groenteman about her work: “The subject in Jouk’s Photographs are situated in a Jouk-ish world that seems to be somewhat different, more surrealistic than that world that we all live in”.\nThese last years have resulted in awards and nominations such as Taylor Wessing Portrait prize (National Portrait Gallery, London), Head On (Sydney), LensCulture Portrait Prize and many more.

When l I suffered a career-ending injury in 2013 I was forced to make a new life for myself. As fate would have it, my new life would be a photographic one.

Within months I found myself not only doing photostories but also contributing written articles.  Photographically, my interests parallel my writing and I often find myself digging deep into edgy stories with a counter-culture slant. Sometimes it means interviewing inmates in a medium-security prison or making friends with burly tattooed men.

She began her artistic practice at the age of sixteen when she asked an ancient maid from her mother’s house to steal the photographs from the family albums looking for traces of a dark past for which there seemed to be no evidence. At the same time in her native Mexico City, Ambrossio portrayed her transition from adolescence to adulthood looking for ways to survive from a distance during a chaotic and stormy process of emancipation from her family. After the suicide of her roommate and best friend from adolescence, she inherited his job as a “nota roja” photographer (police press), covering murders, accidents, and torture by drug traffickers at dawn for a local newspaper. Ambrossio goes on a journey of psychic and physical discovery flooded with disturbances, magic, trauma, dreams, and visions. In these moments, she discovers that the hell inside contains the same hell that explodes outside.\n\nAfter concluding her university studies at the Facultad de Ciencias Politicas y Sociales in the UNAM, Mexico City, specializing in political journalism and film at U.T (USA), she received multiple scholarships in the United States and Europe, among them; the Descubrimientos scholarship for the Master in Photography and artistic projects at the PIC. A school awarded by the PHotoEspaña festival and the editorial house La Fabrica in Madrid, Spain.\nHer universe breathes a real attempt to understand the powers and weaknesses of the mind as a way to scrutinize the human experience, which goes through the past, present, and future times. Ambrossio is incorporating symbols alluding to witchcraft, eroguru, mythology, memories, and legends that she mixes with her written narrative, photographs, objects, installations, sounds, performance, and videos that she unites by free association, schemes promoted by her own theories related to psychological manipulation and its influence on the continuation or rupture of the power professed by the different social structures. \n\nTheir approaches have an intense but anarchic relationship with chance and instinct and imply the destabilization of female canons that threaten the possibility of exceeding ethnic, sexual, moral, religious, and political limits.\nShe is the author of “The rage of devotion_La ira de la devoción” considered by the British Journal of Photography and El País as one of the most exalted and risky photo books of the year 2018, her work has been exhibited in Europe, the United States, South Korea, and Mexico. Including sites such as the Somerset House in the UK, the Palazzo Palmieri in Italy, the Göteborgs Konstmuseum in Sweden, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACQ) in Mexico, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Zagreb (msu) in Croatia, and the Museum National of Contemporary Art (ΕΜΣΤ), in Greece also international fairs such as Art Basel, JustMad, Photo London and UNSEEN.

While the photos capture a strong surface - gauging the whole range of possibility of black and white photography - the human body is coated in self-produced requisites, decidedly unsettling, suggesting some sort of strange, science fiction-esque rebirth, undermining the cultural construction of femininity. It borrows from the convicti- on that humankind has lost control over its own creatures in such that even though the female body is always the nucleus of her images, it becomes a retro-futuristic sculpture combining elements of a magical and cyborg identity, blurring the line between human and inanima. Lechner’s work is a timeless amalgamation of styles, techniques and cultu- ral references that make her work so original, so striking. Tina Lechner brings together the difficulty of dual discourses of photography as an object and image, cutting out the “either-or” and embracing the notion of Ernst Gombrich‘s “either-and”. Her achronic visual language refers back to the early 1920/30s but becomes unique through her modification of that exact visual codification.

Definitely rooted in literature and words, but equally shaped by research, initiated in Naples (L’orientale) and carried on in Paris (Paris X), on the relationship between fine arts and Belgian underground cinema.\n\nI was initiated into photography from a perspective marked by documentary narrative (under Sergio De Benedetti’s Nigma Fotografi school) and later in Paris (Paris VIII) I went into contemporary art and photography establishing then my works at the crossroads of several media. Still, I can resort to photography as a tool for investigating social phenomena as much as for research in the performative and theatrical fields. I have been involved in Mucem Marseille Football \u0026amp; Identities research program (2015-2017) and with historian and researcher Sébastien Louis I started Ultras Youth, an investigative work focusing on Ultras football supporters, in particular in Arabic-speaking countries in the aftermath of the so-called Arab Spring protests. Long-term collaborator of theatre groups, I am engaged in a performative and documentary practice of stage photography, working on and off stage. In 2013 I took part to Altofragile, device run by theatre group Teatringestazione.\n\nFrom 2013 onward, with dramaturg Loretta Mesiti, we have been organising a joint Working Table, literally a common working desk on which we display our personal collections of visual and written matters. We operate in this common space aiming to analyse elements emerging from the praxis through the lens offered by theoretical approaches, to elaborate them into discourses and to create opportunities to share them publicly with other artists and non-artists. This process was born within Altofest – a festival of performing arts in domestic spaces in Naples (Italy) –  was formalised with the project (e)labOratorio (Bodman, Germany 2015) – and takes currently the shape of the Table of Matters within the project ALTEReurope.

My research is a reconstruction of hypothetical memories—a synthesis of fragments and traces where visual noise fades away.

His work has appeared in a variety of American galleries, magazines and books, and has received awards in international juried photo competitions. Wisner currently lives in San Francisco.\n​\nArtist Statement:\n​\nI see life's journey as a series of precarious alliances between light and dark, chaos and order, and the fleeting and the permanent. I use photography both as a conscious chronicle of experience and an illumination of subtext. I have traveled around the world in my life, seeking to expand my sense of possibility from a somewhat solitary and localized latch-key upbringing.

Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the play of sunlight and the way it transforms ordinary objects into glowing forms, as if each held a hidden light within. I’ve always been drawn to reflections — in mirrors, puddles, water, glass, or marble — and to the ever-shifting images glimpsed through a car window: fleeting visions of landscapes, cities, people passing by, sunrises, storms, snowfall.\n\nPhotography came into my life in 2011 and felt instantly like something essential — not a hobby, but a need. When I photograph, I lose track of time. It’s a way of seeing, a way of feeling. I’ve never studied photography formally; it comes to me intuitively, instinctively. I follow light, color, and emotion. Sometimes a sudden flash of brightness, a single gesture, or an unexpected texture catches my eye — and I press the shutter.\n\nMuch of my work is seen through or reflected in glass. I’m fascinated by what lies beyond the surface, by distortion, layering, and ambiguity. Glass becomes a boundary and a portal — between reality and dream, between presence and memory. My visual language often leans toward abstraction and impressionism, inviting the viewer to feel rather than to define, to immerse themselves in color, mood, and silence.           When I look through the lens, it feels as though I’m peering into a kaleidoscope — searching for that one fleeting moment when light, color, and form align into something meaningful. My approach is deeply intuitive: I don’t stage or construct images — I sense them. I’m drawn to moments of transformation, to the tension between clarity and distortion, beauty and vulnerability. I work with reflections, glass, and layered surfaces to reveal the unseen, the emotional texture beneath the visible. My photography captures not just what I see, but how I see — abstract, impressionistic, and always in motion.","user_id":156245,"name":"Alina Nilova","website":"www.iconicartist.eu/a-portfolio/alina-nilova?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY1x9BuGqMn_sH64_JpRt_2tJ4tnIAwgbpwMLllVTjkMFV8Ab3gtpmX6vU_aem_oyGzqbb1Qo9gBLH--T3dzQ"},{"id":156903,"bio":"Julieta Ansalas is an Argentine artist currently living and working in Barcelona.\nShe has developed different projects in which experimentation and research are central elements.

Enrolling in the graphic design program as a Ragin’ Cajun I immediately felt that I was on the right path of finishing my education. \n\nMaking art and discovering my true self in the process has been the most fulfilling and rewarding for my personal growth and self-worth. In my third year I took an intro to photo course as an elective, and under the guidance of my wonderful professor and accomplished fine artist Ms. Lynda Frese, I quickly discovered my talents and artistic voice were more suited for the field of photography. I continued the next semester with more photo courses and in the Fall of 2015 I entered my first juried exhibition at the annual juried student visual arts exhibition. My digital print, Life Nocturnal, which was my final project from my Intro to Photography course in the previous semester, placed Best in Show with over 100 other works submitted by over 40 other students across all of the visual arts disciplines. \n\nIt was shortly after this watershed moment for me that I decided to transfer out of graphic design and declare my intent for a degree in photography.

By removing the possibility to place the subject into a context I am giving it a new life, possibilities and identity, that way I can change something perceived as ‘ugly’, ‘mundane’, ‘undesirable’ or ‘annoying’ into something beautiful, interesting, curious and irritatingly intangible.\nA photograph by nature is very definite and our minds automatically define the medium, the confusion that abstraction creates interests me.\nArt is a way for me to make sense of my surroundings and the world, and an opportunity to transform my reality.","user_id":159249,"name":"Mikki Nordman","website":"www.facebook.com/mikkinordman"},{"id":160358,"bio":"","user_id":159756,"name":"Charles Mignot","website":"www.charlesmignot.com"},{"id":161427,"bio":"","user_id":160825,"name":"Leonie von Carnap","website":"www.instagram.com/leonie.c.j"},{"id":161576,"bio":"I am a 27 year old documentary and portrait photographer from the Netherlands currently traveling through Australia working on a new photo project.

Elevating the subject and giving weight to it, we are forced to look more closely than we might usually -  to scrutinise and pick out details that may otherwise be missed. The spaces in-between become as important as the subject itself, and this breathing space helps us to better understand the subject’s form; “the curlicues of the plant leaves (…) break up the image, giving weight to the negative space, activating it”  \n\nColour is integral to my practise and is utilised to give a modern twist to the works. “We know that we are looking at a botanical photograph but the colour (…) enlivens it, it walks the line between the familiar and the alien.” An electrified palette, applied to natural forms, asks the viewer to look again with fresh eyes. The work is heavily influenced by my rural upbringing (in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire), and the sense of wonder that the plant world evokes in me.

She stated, “I am convinced that mediums are related to each other. Persian calligraphy taught me discipline and dedication, painting offered me freedom of expression, and literature provided a structured way to develop and articulate my ideas.” \n\nFiruzi began her journey in art with specialised training in calligraphy from the Iranian Calligraphy Association. Her early exposure to painting, guided by various teachers, further enriched her artistic foundation. After navigating the diverse realms of art and literature, she pursued cinema studies at Tehran University of Arts. Her passion for Persian literature and poetry led her to focus on screenwriting, and she later specialized in filmmaking and film studies, culminating in a thesis on self-reflexivity in cinema.\n\n Born during a turbulent era in contemporary Iran, Firuzi has always viewed art as her primary means of self-expression. She believes art allows her to explore and articulate her deepest, most inaccessible emotions. Her work addresses cultural crises, gender issues, and identity problems, all through a self-reflective lens. She perceives Iran as a juncture between Western civilisation and Eastern heritage, a position that has historically fostered conflict and complex dialogues on gender, identity, and culture.\n\n For Firuzi, art provides a critical entry point into these multifaceted discussions. Firuzi’s cinematographic work often blurs the boundaries between fiction and documentary, capturing moments where constructed images reveal profound truths. Her projects frequently integrate her own presence within the narrative. In “Reading for Tehran Street,” she is both creator and subject, while in “Scattered Memories of a Distorted Future,” she identifies with the subjects depicted. Her work “In the Shadow of Silent Women” explores the roles of women in local communities, aiming to uncover her ancestral roots.\nThrough these projects, Firuzi challenges traditional notions of authorship and subject, creating a dynamic interplay that continuously shifts the viewer’s perception of identity and authorship. Firuzi has twice been awarded the Peace Medal of the Global Peace Photo Award (2018 \u0026amp; 2022). Her works have been featured in numerous photo festivals and exhibitions, including the La Gacilly Photo Festival in France and Austria, the 9th Daegu Photo Biennial in South Korea, the “Open Your Eyes” Photo Festival in Zurich, Albert Kahn Museum in Paris and Paris photo.

The Audience Award will be exhibited with the Levallois Prize laureate and the Special Mention at the Galerie de l’Escale in Levallois in the fall. \n\nThe Jury for the Levallois Prize and the Special Mention will comprise French and International personalities from the world of the image in related fields, including publishers, gallery owners, curators, or again critics. The jury will meet on June 2016. \n\nThe announcement of the Prize laureate, the Special Mention, and the Audience Award winner will be revealed at the Rencontres d’Arles, early July 2016, during the Festival’s inaugural professional week, a major event in the annual photography calendar. \n\nFinally, the Levallois Prize laureate will benefit professional guidance through meetings organized with photography professionals (institutions, galleries, publishers, critics, curators, scholars, etc).","user_id":168337,"name":"Prix Levallois","website":"prix-levallois.com/en"},{"id":167417,"bio":"写真家 今城知子\n©︎Tomoko Imashiro \n   All Rights Reserved.\n◉https://tomoko-imashiro.net/\n・Art Photographer/芸術写真家         \n・Photographer/写真家\n ・視覚芸術\n・writer\n   (TRINITY編集部 website writer) \n ・Spiritual psychology counselor\n     心理学/唯心論\n【Profile】\n80'尾道出身。 \n尾道の駅前で170年続いた\n今城家の旅館(Ryo-kann)の最後の孫.\n・故,祖母(RIP grand mother)\n/A master Japanese chef\n・祖母姉(grand mother sister)\n/teacher of Japanese Sha-mi-se-nn\n・故,祖父(RIP,grand father\n/書道家(calligrapher)\n・叔母(Aunt) \n/東京藝術大学(Tokyo University of the Arts)\n故,平山郁夫(RIP.Ikuo Hirayama)の弟子(a disciple)\n/日本画(Japanese painter)\n・母方叔父 (uncle) \n/大阪阪大,\n脳外科医教授(Professor of brain surgery)叔父複数出版.\n\n4歳から英会話教育と、\n没.平松純平画伯の奥様、 \n平松祐子画家の元で絵画を始める. \n油絵、水彩画、版画、焼き物、\n生け花。絵画歴30年.\n絵画/得意分野 油絵,版画,\n\n広島県尾道市立 尾道東高等学校 卒業\nバンタンデザイン研究所東京校\nヘアメイク学部 卒業. \n山野美容専門学校 中退. \n写真家として37歳現在、\n東京,NYC,Franceを拠点に活動.","user_id":166815,"name":"Tomoko Imashiro","website":"tomoko-imashiro.net/ "},{"id":167404,"bio":"I am a Photographer and Lighting Designer for theater and live events.

Pictures of live objects or with past lives.\n\nI visualize the piece throughout the process, researching until I arrive at the imagined image, and sometimes, when it is finished, I look at it and think, \" there is something here that I have not done\". It is for those few hours in which everything is produced, for those moments of fusion with something that 's not me, and that in turn is more there, more personal than I can consciously contribute.\n\nI believe in what I create.

The artwork is no more than the physical result of the process.\n\nI'm not interested in photography as an end, but as a source, as a support material. The photographic language is the basis on which my work is based, the starting point on which I build my images. I manipulate, break, burn, hit, dye, sew and age paper by hand until it resembles what I imagine or feel.\n\nI work primarily with human emotions, mine and those of others, especially those that are non-verbal.
