The Beach Series In the past year or so, we have come to greatly appreciate the simple things we often took for granted, like going to the beach. This series is a celebration of those ordinary moments, and is a documentation of our innate need to be connected to nature. Justine Manesh www.JustineManesh.com IG: @JustineManeshPhoto
Eros & Thanatos In his book ''Beyond the Pleasure Principle'', Sigmund Freud stated that human instincts are determined by two opposing forces: Life and Death. This theory not only is deeply rooted in the Greek mythology, but it has association with the Greek tragedy as well. The two contrasting forces are Eros, being the God of love and fertility thus equated to life. Where as Thanatos is the God of…
Modern photographic reinterpretation My photographic reinterpretation of classical works of art represents a tribute to famous painters such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Rubens and other admirables. When remaking a painting, there is the possibility of creatively projecting new concepts, new information that give new meaning to the scene and make us observe and extract a new discourse. Each generation attributes new meanings to art and needs to retake the entire historical…

American photographer Brad Wilson has been developing the Affinity since 2010. The photographer travels with his mobile studio to zoos and wildlife sanctuaries to capture the wildlife living there. He is always in search of what he calls his Holy Grail: to capture the direct gaze of his model, to create that unsettling face-to-face encounter that makes us question the distance that separates us. Brad Wilson agreed to answer a…

Hecatombe Hécatombe explores life after death, the Other Life: where the human being is no more than a carnal envelope returning to the earth, where beauty, glory and power become perfect inanity, and where nature follows its crushing cycle. Angelic faces putrefy, clothes disintegrate, vines cover graves, insects attack flesh and, finally, everything disappears. Ghost-women, statue-women, corpse-women: Hecatombe explores the vain and ephemeral nature of our existences. The greatest beauties…
...but so many good things happened to you! Why is it that we remember good memories less than bad ones? In my project I am looking for the answer to this through family portraits which I appear in or I have taken in the past, and which I have good memories of, but forgot them over time. Without looking at photos, it’s like there are only pixels in the place…
I divide my photographic activity between portraiture and travel. I've always traveled, and I've always taken photos of my travels. I've lugged kilos of equipment and refrigerated film to many remote corners of the world. I have thousands of slides in storage. But that was before. With age, I travel light now, my hybrid, my phone and my sneakers. I don't plan my trips “so I don't miss anything I…
Interiors Small apartments.Dark rooms. Increasingly narrower spaces. People sitting, waiting. Without hope, without illusion. Lost.
Into Their Souls An interpretation of what my “Decisive moment” is through my 52 years of Street Photography Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about what he calls “The Decisive Moment”, he says: “Composition must be one of our constant preoccupations, but at the moment of shooting it can stem only from our intuition, for we are out to capture the fugitive moment, and all the interrelationships involved are on the move.” For…
The Old Oak Or the Call of Nature Remarkable tree From a small seed, you've become the Master of this land. Several hundred years old year after year, you draw closer to the firmament. As I leaned against your bark, I felt a heartbeat... I heard it shudder.... you are the memory of the past... It is said that you are the "Tree of Doors", that you allow passage between…
Hands Hands from here, hands from elsewhere, hands from yesterday, hands from today, hands loved, hands unknown, hands placed, hands caught in flight, hands like so many portraits both singular and universal.
The 23rd Lodz FotoFestiwal will be held until June 23. This year's theme, "Letting Go / Liberation", is explained as follows by the organizers: Fotofestiwal 2024 emerged from the collective need of freeing ourselves from curatorial boundaries. Used to designing each edition around a theme, this year took the idea of letting go, to encounter a loose approach, paired with multiple readings, without full restriction of a word. Thus, the…
