Véloscopie "Véloscopie" represents all the diversity of bicycle users in the streets of Arles, from the priest of Saint Trophime, to the idle, to those for whom it's the only way to get around. I made this series in 2024 during a week-long photography course at the Rencontres d'Arles, under the supervision of Grégoire Korganow. It was there that I discovered a new approach, centred on anonymous people who I'd…
Country on hold Aleppo and Damascus, two cities that I had the opportunity to discover in 1996, are emblematic of this country that is home to one of the oldest civilizations. Although Syria was occupied by the French for 26 years, the Syrians have managed to preserve their sense of hospitality. Their delicate and aromatic cuisine leaves an unforgettable memory, as do their smiles, despite the omnipresent presence of the…
Marine figurations The influence of Impressionism, and of Claude Monnet in particular, is evident in this project. To find in the movement of the water something that is expressive, hypnotic, strange and, at the same time, a certain form of purity. The reflection of the shapes of the boats, masts and buoys, broken up by the movement of the sea, creates new figurative forms. The photos were taken in the…

Dona Ann McAdams' latest book, Black Box, has been released by Saint Lucy Books. It is presented as follows: Black Box, the memoir by photographer Dona Ann McAdams, combines fty years of black and white photographs with short lyrical texts that the photographer calls ‘ditties’. The book combines McAdams' historic images with personal reflections that read like prose poems. Her photographs, taken between 1974 and 2024, document astonishing moments and…
The Galerie Camera Obscura presents the group exhibition ANIMALIA - The monkey and the swallow. Didier Brousse introduces it thus: Having a glimpse of wild beasts - dolphin, otter, heron, fox, viper - makes my day. When I meet a new face, I do not rest until I have found its animal, its counterpart in physiognomy in the immense universes of Cuvier, Fabre or Linnaeus. These similarities, I do not…
Until March 15, the Taunus Foto Gallery presents Undiscovered Reality by Bernd Sannwald. The gallery sent us this short text: Bernd Sannwald photographs mainly architecture. He searches for that which is not obvious – traces, structures, colours – and his photographic scalpel reveals what would probably have remained hidden. Sannwald doesn’t change objects, but photographs them without emotion or subjectivity, reducing the chaos of what was constructed by humans to…
This is the nicest invitation of the week. It is sent by the photographer Aaron. Somewhere in the Vexin there is a small village, as bucolic as can be: Fourges - Vexin sur Epte. In this village, a small association chaired by Annick Dufils, brings this village to life with two monthly meetings around a varied theme. It is called "Autour d'un café à Vexin sur Epte" (Coffee Klatch in…
This exhibition at the Arquivo Aires Mateus in Lisbon brings together a selection of works developed by Nuno Moreira over the past eight years, in a continually evolving project that began during an artist residency at the Museu da Luz in 2017. The exhibited images are conceived as fragments of a more extensive visual narrative, inviting the observer into an interpretive experience. The minimalist compositions explore the interplay of light…
We learned of the death of photographer Michel Medinger from the association Lët’z Arles. Here is their text. One of Luxembourg’s greatest photographers, Michel Medinger, left us this week. It is with great sadness that we learned of his death from his daughters, Isabelle and Véronique. Born in 1941 in Luxembourg, Michel Medinger first developed a passion for painting before devoting himself to photography from the 1960s. Exhibited in Europe,…

This year’s grants collectively received more than 725 entries, the most entries in any year since its inception in 1979.

Judges in the Student Grant category had difficulty selecting two top entries among the 103 entries received from 42 countries, so they selected three! Again, thanks to the Smith Fund’s donors and corporate supporters, it is able to financially support this decision and provide $15,000 in student grants instead of the two budgeted grants totaling $10,000. "The submissions for this year’s Eugene Smith Student grant showcased exceptional diversity and depth,”…

The grant, named in memory of Howard Chapnick, president of the picture agency Black Star, recognizes programs, rather than individuals, that significantly contribute to the field of documentary photography through education. Inspired by the opportunities that they were able to access,…
Jusqu’au 7 février 2025, Anastasia Photo Gallery présente une exposition de Steven Edson. Le photographe en parle ainsi : In my photography, I describe the complexity and vastness of people, land, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity. The photograph, constrained within the edges of the frame, offers the viewer the ability to explore and make sense of our shared sense of…
The Fahey/Klein Gallery presents Soft White Underbelly, an exhibition of photographic works by Mark Laita. This powerful series reveals raw and real glimpses of humanity’s most vulnerable communities, encouraging a conversation around the individuals and realities that often go unseen. Soft White Underbelly, a metaphor for vulnerability, was born from Laita’s 2009 photo series Created Equal. These new portraits, shot against stark and simple backdrops, highlight the individuality and humanity of his…
The Galerie du Passage in Paris is presenting The Scarlet Room, an exhibition by Anne Garde, until February 15. Photographer, it was the obvious choice that came to her very early on, when her mother gave her the famous Kodak Brownie Flash for her eleventh birthday. With a master's degree in sociology from the University of Paris-Sorbonne, Anne Garde, after internships in the Parisian studios Arphot and Urphot, as well…
La geometria e la compassione. Ferdinando Scianna and his images that make us look. Geometry and compassion seem to have little in common. Or maybe not. It’s just that to discover the connections, we need to be able to look at the world and into it: it’s not enough to know that things exist, they can’t be ignored. And they have to be discovered. Sometimes this leads to a sudden…
Our collaborator John Devos wanted to pay tribute to Denis Brihat on the occasion of his exhibition at the Michèle Schoonjans Gallery, Rivoli Brussels as part of the PhotoBrussels Festival. ‘ ‘ I can't find any interest in still lifes any more; since the invention of photography, I feel they no longer have any sense. Well, that's a personal point of view...' he concludes apologetically.. ‘ -says a character in…
