"My name is Barry Talley and I am an American who spends my time in Washington, D.C. as well as Paris and Casablanca. I am a law graduate working in the legal tech space. I moonlight as a photographer who shoots with Pentax DSLRs and Canon mirrorless full frame cameras. I shoot primarily with prime lenses and love multi-exposure and long exposure night time photography. Nighttime has a unique energy and my goal is to capture that through my photography. The more starburst, light trails, etc., the better. These three photos represent my take on 3 of my favorite European cities: Paris, London and Budapest."
Bernard Caston Jr
"I consider myself to have an eye for the spontaneous energy of the city and the curated elegance of the runway, I bridge the gap between gritty street photography and high-end fashion. Specializing in capturing the pulse of major industry events like Paris Fashion Week, I focus on the authentic moments and bold aesthetics that define modern style.
My work is driven by a commitment to the unique character of digital and 35mm film, creating a distinct visual narrative that favors texture and soul over clinical perfection. From the high-stakes environment of international fashion circuits to intimate, character-driven portraits, I deliver professional, gallery-grade imagery tailored for commercial clients and private exhibitions alike.
Currently based between Paris and the United States, I continue to document the intersection of culture, movement, and fashion through a mobile-first, modern workflow."

Casden Mui
"Originally born on the West Coast of the United States and growing up primarily on the East Coast, I have found great pleasure in doing a little bit of everything. I love going out and taking photos that mean something to someone; sometimes that someone is me."
Chin Ming, Lam
Hong Kong
IG@lam.chin.ming
Chin Ming is an architectural designer who uses the lens to bridge the gap between permanent structures and the fleeting nature of life. Holding a Master of Architecture, he possesses a deep professional appreciation for form and space, yet his personal creative philosophy is rooted in the "instant moment"—the singular, unreproducible slice of time that occurs only when a human enters the frame.
Chin Ming loves to take portraits and street photos that focus on the uniqueness of human activity. He believes that a photograph only gains its soul through human activity, capturing the intricate relationships between individuals, their environment, and their internal selves. His work serves as a vital record of spontaneous interactions that can never be staged or repeated, turning the camera into a tool for honouring the ephemera
"My Camera Couldn't Handle This Much Beauty"
"The Sieve"
Darren Greenblatt
Born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Darren Greenblatt moved to New York City to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, winning the coveted Critics Choice Award at graduation. Darren is a multidisciplinary artist and creative entrepreneur whose career spans fashion, art, publishing, television, hospitality, and interior design. For more than two decades, he has built brands and told visual stories at the intersection of art, style, culture, and reinvention. Darren currently lives and creates in Princeton, NJ.
Darren’s photography is, at once, stylized and raw, erotic and playful, voyeuristic and tactile. His photographic collages mash his paintings and photography together. These works explore themes of identity, masculinity and style— interpreting the intimacy and fragmented nature of the male gaze. Darren’s work seeks to capture beauty in all forms.
"DZ, Joshua Tree 2"
Ellie Goodliffe
From a childhood spent using art as a sanctuary with nothing but scrap paper, Ellie has evolved into a sophisticated UK-based creator who masterfully bridges the gap between science and soul. Now balancing a career as a brewery QA leader and the joys of new motherhood, she utilizes her biological science background to craft thought-provoking acrylic pieces and experimental photography that explore the intricate intersections of human health, nature, and the mind.
“Colour Flash Drowning”
A striking example of glitch art, featuring a distorted, kaleidoscopic overlay of vibrant RGB colors against a deep, grainy black background. The composition suggests a sense of motion and fragmentation, as if a digital signal has been fractured into a dreamlike, psychedelic landscape.
“Imposter Syndrome”
This piece captures the agonizing internal schism of imposter syndrome, where the self is fractured between a paralyzed physical presence and a restless, vibrating anxiety. While the body remains anchored in a heavy stillness, a spectral "double" pushes outward in a state of frantic motion, illustrating the feeling of being trapped in one’s skin while the mind desperately seeks an exit from perceived inadequacy.
Emeke Obanor
"I am a documentary and contemporary abstract photographer exploring human rights, memory, identity, and social realities through visual storytelling. My work moves between intimate documentary narratives and experimental abstract forms to reflect lived experiences shaped by inequality, conflict, gender, and social change.
Working closely with my subjects, I focus on stories of trauma, resilience, and survival—centering voices often overlooked or silenced. Alongside my documentary practice, I use abstraction to translate emotional and psychological states into light, movement, and form.
My work has received international recognition, including awards and honors from the German Peace Prize, Istanbul Photo Awards, Felix Schoeller Photo Award, Riechaman Award, Allard Prize for Photography, Alfred Fried Peace Medal, Global Peace Photo Award shortlist, International Photography Grant – Talent of the Year Award, Luis Valtueña International Humanitarian Photography Award finalist, Michael Reichmann Project Grant and UNICEF Photo of the Year."
"Sleep Walkers 12"
"Sleep Walkers 8"
Sleep Walkers is a photographic series exploring the tension between movement, perception, and emotional distance. Working with long exposure, blur, and layered presence, the work sits between documentation and abstraction, where the body becomes unstable and time is never fixed. Across a sequence of five images drawn from Sleep Walkers and Held in Place, figures move through shifting states of motion and stillness.
Movement begins as fluid and immediate, passes into shared rhythm, and dissolves into collective flow where individual identity is no longer distinct. This progression is interrupted at a threshold, where motion is held in suspension rather than allowed to continue freely. Rather than resolving in confinement, the series opens into a final image of spatial and emotional distance. A lone figure moves beside a vast stretch of water—an expansive environment that suggests continuation without resolution.
Movement persists, but connection feels withdrawn, creating a quiet sense of separation within openness. The work reflects on how motion is not only physical but perceptual: how bodies are read in space, and how meaning shifts when movement becomes fragmented, delayed, or detached. Stillness is not the absence of motion, but a condition that exists within it—just as motion can persist without arrival

"Obsessed with photography I rarely plan the details of subjects to photograph, preferring to simply spend lengthy periods of time in a place, space or event and notice the landscape, wildlife, moments, weather, light, expressions - reacting with these spontaneously to produce images.
Travelling widely through work has presented me with a wide range of stimulating environments to make photographs, enabling me to experience many cultures more intimately, helping to inform my viewpoint."

Kieran McLean

IG@kps.mclean
www.kpsmclean.co.uk
Kieran McLean was born in Oxford, England, in 1981. He studied Fine Art at the University of West England, in Bristol from 2002-2005, including 3 months at the University of Barcelona. He has worked in a variety of occupations, including art teaching in Oxford and Milan, Italy, in addition to his artistic practice. He currently lives and works in Oxford.
"Hop Skip Jump, Lunar-Disc Terra-Former"
McLean perceived the bottom to top abstract elements of this image as reminiscent of Alien landscapes. The black void which surrounds these elements, lent themselves to the suggestion of deep space, and therefore suggested some sort of inter-planetary or lunar exploration, or adventure, and the proportion of the different elements in relation to one another hinted at the illusion of depth within this image.
"Yellowcake Launchpad Bunker"
'Yellowcake' is a slang word for Uranium, the main active ingredient in nuclear bombs, which McLean began to use to describe some of the 'Paint Document' Series of works, which included the colour yellow, but also to suggest a sense of danger, warfare and destruction, in what otherwise might be considered abstract, or more playful images, without these suggestive titles.
Mantinieri is a fine art black and white photographer based in Cilento, a historic region in Southern Italy. Today, his work is produced almost exclusively as limited edition prints using the Carbon-Gelatine process from photographs taken with an analog camera and B&W silver film.

Marcel van Beek
Marcel van Beek is a fine-art photographer whose work explores the intersection of reality and imagination. Deeply influenced by the Pictorialist movement of the late 19th century, van Beek utilises light and atmosphere to create 'visual narratives' that transcend traditional documentation.
His practice is characterised by a meticulous attention to tonal depth and a commitment to the aesthetic of 'Slow Photography'. By focusing on architectural voids and minimalist natural structures, he seeks to uncover the quietude inherent in the modern world.

"Ascent into the Hidden", 2025
Miglė Poderytė Sikorskė
"I have background in Media Arts and formal art school training, my work is influenced by a painterly approach to light, color, and composition. Alongside my photography, I work as a painting teacher, where teaching becomes an extension of my reflection on image-making and ways of seeing."
Nana Kofi Asamoah - Adu
Ghanaian/UK
IG@nanakofi_one
"I am a Ghanaian born fine art photographer whose work explores the fragile space between moments, where time is neither fully held nor completely lost. Drawn to transitions rather than fixed events, my images focus on the subtle tension between presence and disappearance, capturing fragments of life that feel both immediate and already gone."

Paul Durber
Paul is an amateur photographer based on the Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset border, using both drone and handheld cameras to capture the Southwest landscape. Primarily focused on landscapes, he enjoys exploring perspective from both aerial and ground level while experimenting with other genres as his artistic style continues to evolve.
"Stationary Engine"
Stationary, the engine holds in quiet clarity, fixed against the movement it sustains. Around it, the carousel dissolves—riders and horses reduced to fleeting trails of light. Time stretches in motion. Form gives way to trace, and presence to memory, as the solid and the transient settle briefly into balance before slipping apart.
“Water and Wheel”
The image of Bristol’s Ferris Wheel traces a quiet tension between motion and stillness. The turning wheel dissolves into light, while the harbour holds its reflection in near-perfect calm. Between water and sky, the city softens. Energy lingers as a glow, and the boundary between the real and the reflected begins to fade.
Zahra Zarei
"I am a photographer working between observation and atmosphere, focusing on maritime environments and the relationship between structure and open space. My work explores stillness, movement, and the quiet tension between human presence and vast, shifting landscapes."
"Guided Motion"
A small pilot boat moves with purpose through the harbor, navigating between scale and structure. The image explores controlled movement within an otherwise calm and ordered environment.
"Drift Lines"
Soft currents carry lines of light across the water, turning motion into a quiet, rhythmic pattern. The image captures a fleeting moment where movement slows into something almost meditative.
