The Eye Photography: World Photography Art History, Latest News and Photography Events

Fantômatique The art of urbex photography captures the abandoned, overgrown remains of the past. Each image tells a story of places once alive, but now haunted by the ghost of their former glory. Urbex photographers often use artistic techniques to accentuate the mysterious, melancholy atmosphere of these forgotten places. Light effects, original angles and post-production effects can transform a simple photo into a striking work of art. The specter of…

The Sentinels In this photographic work, I have isolated corn stalks. They inhabit the roadside with indifference. At regular intervals, they take the form of fields that are proposed to colonize. Their slender shape and alignment made me think of cohorts of soldiers. By isolating them photographically, they make me think of sentinels. In terms of texture, the rendering I wanted is close to the notion of paper, a kind…

Make love Not war When I work in harmony with nature, I am grateful to live in a country where war is not present. By using this slogan from the 1960s, I wish to raise awareness among our current and future generation of the challenges of a war which is raging in certain countries. Isn't living in harmony and loving your neighbor more important? Shouldn't we give more importance to…

Strangers in the Park Strangers in the Park is a series of black and white portraits of total strangers, predominantly taken in Washington Square Park. I began the project in the summer of 2024. I am using my Wista 4”x5” field camera with a 90mm and 210mm lens, which I bought in 1985 and have hardly used since the early 1990’s. The project has been a wonderful revelation for me……

Naked of Meaning Concept The impossibility of meaning becomes the core of these images. Objects, stripped of their sense, appear suspended in an impenetrable atmosphere. The veil distorts the light, amplifying the impenetrability of phenomena. The series represents a mental state in which thoughts, emptied of meaning, emphasize the mystery of perception. General project description "Naked of Meaning" is a visual investigation into the enigmatic void that permeates existence. The…

Doubt and questioning The beginning of the film or the end of the story? We will know, no doubt, later. You will have to find the key, untie the thread, put down the suitcase.

Sartiglia The term Sartiglia derives from the Castilian “Sortilla”, which in turn derives from the Latin “Sorticula”, which means ring but also “Sors”, meaning luck. The Sartiglia in fact consists of the knights' attempt to hit a target, the star, by challenging fate. Sartiglia has very distant origins. In the 11th century, military games were introduced in Europe and were used to train militias. These races, over the years, underwent…

Palazzo Ducale, residence of the Doge since 1339 and today an important centre of cultural production, is located in the heart of Genoa, the modern city that coincides with that of the ancient and powerful Maritime Republic.

Echoing the exhibition "Disco, I'm coming out" at the Philharmonie de Paris, Polka invites you to rediscover the roaring twenties of this musical genre as committed as it is innovative with the work of New Yorker Meryl Meisler. A chronicler of the disco effervescence at the end of the 1970s, the photographer has delved back into her archives and tells us about the nightlife of Manhattan's mythical nightclubs, including the…

This is the unusual portfolio of the week. A Strange Beauty, studies from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science collections by John Bonath. He writes. I am not concerned with making a document of something for science. The assumption that photographic images represent something “true” is the unique nature of photography and can be used to many ends. For me, the camera and the computer become a stage for…
