"The Nightfall."

Francis O’Shaughnessy focuses his research on the construction of the audacity to live in his vision of the portrait in the landscape and the portrait of the landscape. He attempts to create dialogues between performance Art and photography by orchestrating stagings that have their origins in the World of visual installations. He creates scenographic spaces that evoke fictions enveloped by nature. His constantly (re)questioning body of work speaks about humans: their loves, their dreams, their nonsense and their quest for meaning. He introduces suggestions into his work that recall his identity mix without his conceptual and experimental representations being limited only to his cultural diversity. Lately, he has been looking at the inner landscapes and the passage of time that shape who we are. Thus, he attempts to interpret the infinite facets that make up the human soul by paying particular attention to the sphere of ritual, intimacy and adoptive identity.

"My work is emotive and instinctual, an outcome of the play of the subconscious impulses of the mind and free exploration of surrounding structures. My creations are an outcome of chance and are driven by imperfections. 
I don't create the perfect photograph or painting, I create layers of beauty, character, depth and meaning."

Huang Yingying (b.1993) is a Chinese Artist who currently lives in London. She switched from science to Art after discovering a great interest in Art during her high school years. In 2023, she held her first solo exhibition at the V.O Curations in London. In 2024, she started using photography as one of her key creative mediums. "My work is based on the theory of emergence and chaos in the development of life, creating a series of works full of variation but with a homogeneity around the spiritual entity of 'I' itself, in which I hope to present a completely uninhibited and unregulated vein of the natural development of life. Each of my works is different, but within them, there is a vein that follows a pattern of emergence, and each vein is interwoven to form a dense web in which a chaotic complexity emerges, in which the existence of a subject 'I' is naturally revealed."

"Melancholy."

Nur Guzeldere is a Turkish Artist currently living in New York for her undergraduate studies at Pratt Institute. Her photography work ranges from documentarian to editorial with an emphasis on emotional and intimate portraiture, it’s the backbone of her body of work. “They’ll find a rotting corpse behind the door I’ll stink, I’ll have shat the rats will have eaten my nose.” Made me feel so much indescribable and intense emotions at the same time when I read Simone de Beauvoir’s Woman Destroyed, which became the initial inspiration in pushing me to create. It’s a period where you are supposed to grow healthy and evolve into a better version of yourself, a beautiful mature grown woman. Yet something is inside you, a mold that is spreading into your insides, getting you infected, making you unwanted. And you can’t explain it to anyone. There’s no rational or scientific solution to it.

"Theater Layers."

Dhyo SINGH learned very early the argentic photography. Musician, he creates original sound atmospheres imprinted with synthetic textures and ethnic sounds. Self-taught, he has been interested in digital photography for a few years and then begins to create digital images from the photographs he made during his travels around the World. Like his method of composing musical works, his work of image creation is based on a digital edition combining a photographic cliché and the integration of a number of external elements or treatments necessary to make totally new universes with frames resolutely surreal or opposite in an impressionist and naive style. The aim is naturally sublimation of a basic image to give it another dimension.

"Man of Fire."

"Photography, for me, is about exploring the abstract qualities in nature and architecture, examining color, shapes and patterns and how they relate, finding an unusual angle, perspective or lighting that will challenge the conventional way of viewing. My subject matter varies as to whatever happens to catch my eye, whether it’s the symmetry and beauty in nature, the lines and design in architecture, the movement of the sea and clouds or the interaction of people in everyday life."

"Shining Sea."

"I discovered my passion for photography when I was a teenager. I love to take photographs of almost everything, and as an introvert, This ever growing fondness for photography has always been the best way to express and perceive myself in every moment I capture. I studied Math major in high school. Therefore, I couldn’t start learning something related to Arts easily as a university student. I started studying Urban Planning at the Faculty of Fine Arts, the University of Tehran, in 2016. I wasn’t enjoying that major, and I was looking forward to getting related to Arts and, more specifically, photography. Thus, I decided to study Photography for my master's degree in 2021 in the same faculty and the same university. Since then, I have been trying to find my way as an Art photographer."

Rainer Würth (*1967) – Writer, photographer (portraits, body & nude, landscape). In his photos inner and outer landscapes often blur into one another. He is interested in the open, in fragments and abstraction. For him as a photographer it is all about the moment, motif and composition. In the process of taking pictures Rainer Würth experiments with apertures and exposures, intentional camera movement (ICM), light and color. The camera is a tool for him to create visual poetry or to tell a story. "The absence of color I often see as a gift. It offers me the space to focus on light and shadow, on composition. On the essence of an image, the story it tells, the visual poetry it creates."

"Echoes of Silence."

Born in 1982, photographer Mete Altuniğne became interested in photography at the age of 9 with Kodak Ektralite. After 12 years of amateur photography, he started to study at Yıldız Technical University Faculty of Art and Design in 2004. During his university years, he met digital cameras and gained experience by working in photography studios until he graduated in 2009. After graduation, he worked as a photographer in advertising agencies. He is currently teaching photography and continues to take photographs for his own projects. "When taking photographs, I am often struck by the fluidity of time. The relationship of time with space and people. Sometimes it is the growth of a person, sometimes the aging of a stone. Finally, all of them are erased in time. Whenever I take a photograph, I feel one step away from this result and I feel that I have taken away what I have photographed."

"Dark Frames" Photographers

"Dark Frames"

"I am a 22 years old French student and I have started photography in 2020 after having discovered a film camera and a few lenses that belonged to my grandfather. Since then, taking photos has become both an artistic way of expression and a link to my grandpa whom I've never met. When I'm using my camera is a dialog between the feeling I want to convey, the aesthetic effect needed to do so and the setting of the parameters. Indeed, I am using a fully mechanical camera. At the beginning it was quite difficult but now this process and this duality between an artistic process and a more technical part is really fluent. I am mostly taking landscape pictures as well as details photos. I especially enjoy using the bokeh effect which is quite amazing with the old lenses i use. The majority of my pictures are taken during journeys. Photography has helped me to develop a more inquisitive eye when I discover new places, enabling me to appreciate them better."

"Dark Frames" exists in a realm beyond colour, where black and white photography reveals depth through form and texture. Before the advent of colour film, photographers relied solely on light and shadow, capturing images of extraordinary complexity, with contrast and tone defining the frame. At the core of black and white photography lies the study of light, grounded in optics. As both a wave and a particle, light interacts with surfaces to create contrasts of brightness and shadow. Without colour, our attention sharpens, allowing us to observe this balance. Monochrome enables photographers to exercise precise control over tonal range, sculpting each image with clarity and intent. "Dark Frames" honours the distinctive character of this Art form. In the void of hue, the artistry of black and white photography is illuminated.
