A Photo Story: The Missing Script
In a frozen power station on the Baltic Sea, Bernhard Brause and his partner Brigitte capture a timeless story of light, shadow, and industrial isolation.
A Photo Story: The Silent Pulse of Lisbon
From the tech hubs of Porto to the historic cobblestones of Lisbon, Pedro Belo’s journey is one of "wandering and waiting." In this photo story he explores why he strips away the "distraction of color" to capture the pure, unscripted essence of Lisbon’s most iconic neighborhoods.
A Photo Story: In the Light Again
In a dim kitchen in Costa Rica, photographer Peter Westra captured a portrait that balances darkness and redemption. His subject a writer from Devon confined indoors by illness meets the viewer’s gaze with quiet defiance. Inspired by Richard Avedon’s Beekeeper, the image transforms pain into presence, shadow into grace. It’s a testament to endurance and the healing power of light.
Photo Story: Portraits of Survival
In the heart of Africa, work is more than a means of survival it’s an act of identity. Through environmental portraiture, Portraits of Survival captures the quiet strength of those who transform necessity into purpose.
