Don't Forget to Love "Don't Forget to Love" is a series dedicated to examining the vital role of love and empathy in contemporary society. Photographed by Lagos-based photographer Bade Fuwa, the work showcases his ability to weave emotion into visual storytelling. Staged against the natural backdrops of nature that balance raw intimacy with surrealist symbolism, the imagery explores human vulnerability. By choreographing a quiet dialogue between the subjects and their…

Nature’s Reveries Nature’s Reveries is the series that allowed me to discover macrophotography while deepening my knowledge of the fauna and flora of my region, Occitanie. It also nurtured an unexpected fascination for spiders, creatures often feared or misunderstood despite their subtle beauty. The photographs in this series invite the viewer to discover the miniature world hidden within our gardens, through floral tones and a dreamlike, fairy-tale atmosphere. https://www.flickr.com/photos/143112292@N03/ https://www.instagram.com/faelypics/

Libertad The air in the courtyard felt like pulverised lead so charged it was with grave human issues. Like issues of crime and punishment. Issues of forgiveness and of the impossibility of forgiveness. Issues of hope and despair. Issues of human time, human space and of what our lives, in the end, are really made of. Issues of the unbearable heaviness of existing. And obviously, most importantly, the issue of…

Soaring With this selection, Charlotte Brunstein explores the notion of flight through dance, as a movement that is both physical and inner. Echoing her photographic practice, where movement opens onto a poetic and sensitive dimension, the bodies become surfaces through which emotional and sensory states emerge. The image is conceived as a perceptual and intuitive space, in which the viewer is invited to enter into resonance.

Relief I photograph women whose bodies fall outside the visual canon of fine art photography. The series uses tonal inversion to remove the photographic surface that usually softens or sexualises such bodies. What remains is form: weight, density, anatomy. These images do not argue that these bodies are beautiful. They do not argue that these bodies are political. They record what the body is when no argument is being made…

Mériadeck The aim of this work is not to describe the various facets and real estate projects designed by architects whose works have been added on top of each other without consultation or urban planning, but rather to illustrate the void that connects them, an image of the soulless world in which we try to survive: a heterogeneous collection of concrete structures linked by passages and suspended walkways where you…

Edge of Sight Edge of Sight brings together a group of images shaped by a single question: how does a presence appear within the image, before becoming troubled, fragmented, or disappearing? Through blurred or inverted faces, partial bodies, suspended gestures, and places that seem to return from memory, this body of work explores a fragile territory between apparition and erasure. Portraits are never fully stable here; the body is never…

A dual exhibition at the Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie and the city’s Pavillon du Jardin des Plantes highlights the gardens that run throughout Sarah Moon’s work. Dense, wild, untamed, imperfect. In Sarah Moon’s world, the garden is nothing like a postcard. Still less does it resemble the perfect geometry of a French formal garden. In Rouen, the French photographer unfolds a garden in her own image through some sixty prints,…

The new exhibition presented at Galerie Magnum brings together the work of two photographers: a selection of photographs made by Herbert List around the Mediterranean (and the Baltic Sea) between the 1930s and 1950s, and images by Zied Ben Romdhane taken along the Mediterranean coastline of contemporary Tunisia. Herbert List’s photographs are taking shape around the shores of the Mediterranean, particularly in Greece and Italy. Bodies and landscapes appear as…

 To celebrate the centenary of Marilyn Monroe's birth, Staley-Wise Gallery presents the exhibition Becoming Marilyn until August 21, 2026. So much has already been said about Marilyn Monroe. After a deprived and unhappy early life as Norma Jeane Mortenson, Marilyn began her slow rise in Hollywood thanks to her agent and lover Johnny Hyde. At the time of her death at age 36, Marilyn had reached the height of celebrity and…

Conceived as a logbook, “White Water” combines large photographic sequences with travel journals bringing together personal notes, maps and snapshots of everyday life. André Frère Éditions has received support from the Centre…

Nomad Art Collective presents Open Skies, a solo online exhibition of recent photographic work by Carla Sutera Sardo, on view through August 18, 2026. In Sicily, summer arrives with force. The light is unrelenting, the sea vast and deeply blue. The sky opens wide, pressing down on the land with the same insistence as the heat. The elements demand full presence. Into this intensity Sutera Sardo brings play. Her figures…
