This photo is part of a series on the Sami people living in northern Sweden near the town of Kiruna. I took this picture at a reindeer corral during the month of December at around 14h. The Sami villagers work long hours, separating their individual reindeer herds. The temperature was approximately -15 Celsius. The light…

Sometimes, you discover a photographer because one work touched your eyes and you fall in love with the rest of her work. This is exactly what happened to me. I saw Antje Schley photo documentary about Kabul and loved her B&W rendering of this country at war. But it’s with her portraits series that I…

In some African countries, life can be quite hard because of the difficult economic conditions. For some African people, it can be even worse.

Sometimes, you need to crawl on your stomach in order to reach eye level and get the right picture. Tracey Kidston is…

Oleg Kasko is maintaining this tradition with pictures that magnify the mystery and the beauty of the places where he brings his camera. And it is quite some equipment: This photo was taken on a sunny winter day with…
