"Township." 2025
"I was born and raised in Iran. I pursued my education at Emily Carr College of Art & Design in Vancouver, Canada. Studying filmmaking provided me with a foundation in both the technical and artistic aspects of visual storytelling, which continues to influence my photographic work. I consider myself primarily a street and documentary photographer, capturing real and at times surreal instances that unfold within everyday life. I have received a number of awards, and my work has been displayed in numerous local and regional exhibitions, including online. I currently reside in Connecticut."
"Being a film photographer in a digital world is challenging. Yet it is what I pursue with great dedication and joy. All my photographs are printed by myself using the gelatin silver process. I see the camera as an extension of myself; looking through the lens allows me to observe the world with heightened sensitivity and awareness. It compels me to search for those fleeing moments our hurried eyes often overlook. These recorded moments often reveal subtle juxtapositions or connections between people and their surroundings. At times they may simply reflect a transient scene-a brief moment caught in a street window. Many of my subjects exist within urban environments, which I see as a vast canvas filled with scattered narratives waiting to be discovered."

"Upside down." 2025
"I have always been fascinated by photography, ever since childhood. In particular, I am in awe whenever I am able to capture facial details and changes in expression. I love shooting people and freezing their peculiarities through my lens."

"Inspiration. The moment before..." 2025
"Life, as we know it, is a moment between the past and the future. Each person determines the length of this moment for themselves. Where one person finds it important to capture moments throughout the day, another needs only a thousandth of a second to grasp life - that very instant through which one can feel its flow and relentless drive forward into the future. I feel a strong need for photography that does not freeze a brief moment but gathers within it emotions, the flow of time, and the changing space. I capture the life around me with long exposures, while becoming part of the frame myself, imparting my impulses to the image. Acknowledging that everyone views a photograph through the prism of personal perception, shaped over a lifetime, I free my creativity from authorial pride. I do not seek to be fully understood in my expression, nor do I impose my vision. What is much more important to me is that the viewer, when becoming acquainted with my work, determines for themselves what they feel and what emotions the image evokes in them. I believe that in this way, the space between people becomes filled with freedom of thought. After all, a person becomes truly free when they recognize another’s right to dissent. I gladly invite viewers into my world of emotional photography and wish us a pleasant acquaintance."
"Inspiration. My self portrait was created as an homage to the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. I allowed myself to fantasize about the uniqueness of the moment when the inspiration for this famous portrait was born."

"Untitled from the series Women and Bodies." 2025
"The series, which I loosely call Women and Bodies in Art focuses on the human form, the human shape, the human vulnerability and the many different kinds of relationships we have with our body. It also asks questions about women’s role in Art - what does it mean for a woman to be photographed by another woman? Why is censorship unequal? What is the fine line between art and pornography? How does Gender interface with art and ways of seeing? The project is two fold. One one hand there is a portraiture series of at least thirty women although I hope to include more. On the other side, are essays about the themes of portraiture, gender, the male gaze, ways of seeing, movement and time in photography and more which will be published as a book by Harper Collins India. As of writing this statement, the series, although not fully complete, has been selected for exhibitions in eleven venues across the world."

"Untitled from the series Women and Bodies." 2025
"Since 2013, after I fell ill with a still undiagnosed neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's and was unable to write (I was a writer first and foremost), I took to photography as a way to cope with every day. It soon became my diary to the world, to show them how I really am when no one is looking. After seven years of these self portraits I have decided to turn the lens onto other women (and men) and their relationship with their body, which may or may not arise out of illness. Our relationship with our bodies, an ever changing body, is a very complex one. All the participants of this project are volunteers who wanted to explore some aspect of their past or present through the lens and therefore chose to participate . Some to get over trauma, disorders, fears. They dictated what parts of their body to show and how much. Whether "true" or not, the series is very much about giving the participants full license to be "seen" in the way they wish the world to see them. This is the first thing I tell them."

"Velvet." 2025
"The subjects do not perform for the gaze; they occupy the space with confidence and autonomy. Femininity is presented as self-sufficient and uncompromising - soft in texture, yet firm in intent. Velvet is not about the game itself, but about control, closeness, and the power that emerges through shared presence."

"Velvet." 2025
"Velvet is a fashion editorial exploring control and quiet authority within a closed, theatrical space. Set in a billiard room, the series reimagines a place of leisure as a site of tension, ritual, and deliberate presence. The project features two sisters, whose natural closeness introduces an unspoken connection into the frame. Shared gestures, mirrored poses, and silent exchanges blur the line between individuality and unity, transforming familiarity and kinship into visual strength rather than softness. Rich textures - lace, leather, and velvet - contrast with sharp silhouettes and a deep palette of red and black. Harsh flash lighting intensifies the drama, freezing moments in which stillness becomes intentional and charged."

"I am an architecture student at Newcastle University and a professional photographer on the side. I work across various genres, with a particular focus on portrait photography, street style, and architectural imagery. I’ve been curious about photography since I was in secondary school, which led me to take up the subject in college, and eventually I ended up working freelance alongside my university degree. My practice explores the relationship between people and their environments. I strive to capture the emotional depth of my subjects, using photography as a tool to reflect on contemporary social issues. Through my work, I aim to convey atmosphere, identity, and the subtle narratives embedded in everyday life."

"Touched by Light." 2025
"In my work, I explore what becomes visible when someone doesn't have to prove anything.
When tension subsides, breathing slows, and space arises to simply be. My photography isn't about perfection, but about presence. I work with people, not with poses. With bodies that are alive, faces that have experienced something, and gazes that don't have to perform. By creating peace, trust, and attention, an intimate collaboration arises in which authenticity naturally emerges. I use light as a guide, not as an effect. Natural light, soft shadows, and minimal editing allow space for texture, vulnerability, and detail. Skin can be skin. Silence can be visible. Imperfection doesn't become a point of correction, but a carrier of character and strength. My images move between portrait and boudoir, between strength and softness. They are about being able to embrace yourself, about being seen without judgment. About the beauty of being human, exactly as it presents itself in that moment. For me, photography isn't a means to change someone, but to reveal what is already there."

"Touched by Light." 2025
"This work is part of an intimate photographic series exploring softness, presence, and the quiet dialogue between body and light. In this image, light is more than illumination - it becomes almost tangible, gently shaping form, revealing detail, and carrying emotion. The photograph invites stillness and slow looking. Vulnerability and strength exist side by side. Subtle nuances in skin, shadow, and texture allow the image to unfold over time, continuing to resonate the longer one stands before it. Printed as a museum-quality fine art print with rich tonal depth and refined detail, the work is presented in a handcrafted wooden tray frame. This framing gives the piece a timeless and calm presence, allowing the image to breathe while maintaining a strong visual impact on the wall."

"Touched by Light." 2025
Angela Stouten is a photographer whose work stems from a deep belief in authenticity and connection. Her portrait and boudoir photography focuses on the individual: not how someone should be, but how they are. Her work revolves around tranquility, trust, and revealing strength in vulnerability. With soft, natural light and minimal editing, Angela creates images that feel timeless and genuine. She works intuitively and mindfully, creating space for genuine expression and quiet moments. Skin can be skin, imperfections can remain, that's precisely where character and beauty reside.
Angela's photography straddles the intersection of fine art and documentary portrait photography. Her images are understated, intimate, and human, inviting us to slow down. She sees photography not as something that changes, but as something that reveals: who someone is when nothing is required. In her work, she invites people to embrace themselves, to be seen without judgment, and to see themselves differently.

Cultural minorities are a central focus of my visual research, as I strive to document and celebrate their unique identities and traditions. Beyond reclaiming the artistic beauty and emotional depth of these subjects, my intent is to help preserve and honor them through photography."

Alia’s passion for travel and photography intertwines seamlessly, each journey inspiring her to explore new dimensions of self-expression. What began as a love for capturing the world around her evolved into a fascination with self-portraits.
A way to document not only where she’s been, but who she is within those spaces. Whether through digital or analog photography, she continues to explore the dialogue between the self and the world. Through her lens, she reveals the quiet interconnectedness between the individual and their environment.
"Nature has always been my biggest source of inspiration; finding magic in the everyday. I capture my surroundings, transforming them into otherworldly visions. Through my lens, reality becomes a canvas for imagination, where the familiar is given new life and the mundane becomes surreal. Over the years I became a firm believer of always being curious, experimental and using play as my highest form of research."

María Candelaria Rivera Gadea is a Nicaraguan photographer whose work explores the poetic language of the female body, memory, and inner landscapes. Through minimal spaces, subtle light, and suspended gestures, she creates images that feel intimate and contemplative. Her practice reflects a deep sensitivity to silence, vulnerability, and strength as quiet forms of presence. She also teaches photography, nurturing creative expression within her community.
"My work is an exploration of the feminine as territory - fragile, powerful, and in constant transformation. I am drawn to the body as a space of memory and emotion, often suspended in emptiness, searching for balance between weight and lightness. I use light as a whisper and space as a form of breathing. In the stillness, I look for tension; in vulnerability, I find strength. My images are not narratives, but sensations - quiet moments where the feminine exists without explanation, only presence."

"In the meadow." 2022
"I am a photographer and videographer based in Tokyo, Japan. I create contemporary photography and video works while traveling. Through photography and video, my works touch upon both personal memories and traces of memories that do not belong to our own experience, emerging from reflections on the uncertainty of the past and memory, and the acceptance of that uncertainty."
"This work explores the tension between the femininity bestowed upon us and the authentic self. Captured four years ago by a quiet mountain lake, this monochromatic portrait interrogates the boundary between social expectations and inner reality. The ornate dress serves as a symbolic construct representing the gendered roles we are often expected to wear. In contrast, the model’s unadorned and natural state represents the raw material reality of the individual stripped of societal performance. Her downcast gaze is not an expression of sorrow but an invitation to introspection, resisting easy categorization by the viewer. Like a wildflower blooming in a spring meadow, existing quietly and proudly for its own sake.These flowers possess the resilient strength to bloom in any environment. This image captures the strength found in simply being. It is an act of reclaiming one’s existence from the gaze of others."

"CONATUS Series." 2025
Klára Kusá is an artist whose practice draws on strategies of appropriation, experimentation, and material reuse. Influenced by post-war art, philosophy, and research-based methodologies, she engages with found objects and discarded materials to construct layered, site-specific installations. Her work blends photography, drawing, video, bodily movement, and archival traces. Through performative gestures, she intervenes in public and institutional spaces, activating them as platforms for critique and dialogue. By reworking fragments of memory, material, and place, she investigates how trauma shapes perception, language, and social structures, transforming sites of rupture into spaces for reflection and potential healing.
Jana Hojstričová has been active on the Slovak visual art scene since the late 1990s. In her early work, she focused on subjective depictions of human intimacy, primarily portraying women. Later, her practice became grounded in a sociological understanding of art, with an interest in the position of women within the family and society. One of her notable projects was a series of photographs of her own family, which she documented in an objective and non-subjective manner.
Through her exploration of historical photographic techniques, her attention gradually shifted toward the natural sciences, museum culture, and experimentation with photographic processes. In recent years, she has collaborated as part of an artistic duo with glass artist Palo Macho. In this field, they have successfully carried out several experiments involving the application of photography onto glass, and their joint work has been presented at numerous international exhibitions.

"CONATUS Series." 2025
"Two corporealities, two memories, two ways of grasping vulnerability. Together, they create a map of an existential archive, where the body is not only an object of biology but also a carrier of memory. Within this framework enters the notion of conatus, the inner striving of every being to preserve its existence and move toward life. The project connects two artists of different generations, whose works reveal the body as a site of inscription and trauma. In her series, Klára Kusá explores anemia and its impact on the individual’s physical and psychological experience. Bandages and fragments of plaster appear in her installation, while blood becomes the primary element of her exhibition entry, a bearer of both pain and transformation. The photographic work of Jana Hojstričová presents the body’s surface as a map of the past: scars, birthmarks, clusters of pigmentation, or hair. Skin becomes a medium that preserves memory in the form of a bodily archive."
Mário Drgoňa, Curator.
"CONATUS Series." 2025
"Two corporealities, two memories, two ways of grasping vulnerability. Together, they create a map of an existential archive, where the body is not only an object of biology but also a carrier of memory. Within this framework enters the notion of conatus, the inner striving of every being to preserve its existence and move toward life.

"Fragmented Identity." 2025
Olesja Brandt is a contemporary artist from Germany. She works with portrait, architectural, and fine art photography, developing a minimalist style based on the purity of lines and emotional restraint. Her photographs aim to connect the external world with internal experience, finding sincerity and personal stories in every form and gaze.
"Photography entered my life in 2023. At that time, I was looking for a quiet space for myself, an outlet from work that was far from creative. Photography became that space. What matters to me in a frame are emotions, sincerity, and the purity of lines. I am drawn to minimalism and naturalness. I photograph self-portraits, other people, and architecture. Photography also accompanies me on travels, capturing feelings and states of mind. Through photography, I try to convey naturalness and the inner calm of the moment. For me, photography is a way to express the inner world, share emotions, and experiences. I shoot while leaving space for interpretation."
"A fragmented photo collage assembling a face from disparate parts. It conveys the multilayered nature of self-perception and shows how a personality is formed from numerous emotions, memories, and states, coming together into a fragile yet expressive whole."

"Photography has been my passion since early childhood. My motivation is to discover and capture the beauty, even when it is not always readily self-evident, that surrounds us continuously in all areas of our everyday lives. I believe the finest images are those that are serious yet playful, aesthetically appealing yet a bit quirky. As both an artist and an admirer, my favorite photographs tend to be ones whose contents speak loudly for themselves, even when it is not immediately clear exactly what they are saying. They seek to inspire their viewers to wrestle with their intriguing contents and, as a result, ponder various aspects of our surrounding world in new and unique ways."
