"I have been a passionate photographer for many years. I am interested in languages and cultures, as well as culture and art. I take photos in black & white and colour, but mainly in black & white. The beauty and the interesting things are often hidden in the details or you only discover them at second glance."

"With every moment captured, I not only show a pure and honest reflection of reality, but also an insight into my emotional world and give the viewer the opportunity to immerse themselves in the visual narrative I have created and to participate in it mentally."

Photography followed Bo Colin (1970) like his own shadow through his very varied and creative life. Born and raised in Germany, he felt early on that borders had to be crossed in order to fully develop. Many trips within Europe, several years living in Scotland and Cornwall as well as on his own sailing boat in the North and Baltic Seas, have sharpened his eye for the aesthetic, beautiful and special. This aesthete currently travels often in Europe and to Brazil. 
 
After more than 10 years of being self-employed in other creative areas, such as the design and manufacture of unique furniture, sculptures and interior design in his own company, the creative mind finally swapped the pen and plane for the camera. 
 
Seeing what most people don’t see and revealing what would otherwise remain hidden, documenting all of this in an unadulterated way, that’s why Bo Colin picks up his camera.

"Round stairway to Heaven."

"I have been taking photos of things I have found beautiful since I was a young girl growing up in the rural South. Largely self-taught, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the influence of my Uncle Roger and my partner Jason, both excellent photographers who taught me, inspired me, and believed in me. I have a simple goal of capturing the loveliness and intrigue in both extraordinary and everyday items and moments."

"Bones of Steel."

"I am an aspiring architect with a passion for various fields of art and design. From an early age, I was fascinated by drawing, singing, crafting, and photography. I completed my art and music courses at the District Shilpakala Academy, Sylhet, before entering college. My passion, skills, and creativity in art have been a blessing on my journey to completing my graduation in architecture. Each form of art has its own unique beauty, whether in creating or experiencing it. As an artist, I can appreciate beauty in both ways."

"Towards the Light."

"Having grown up as an expat child in Oman and Mozambique, I have a fond interest in other cultures and people lives. Since graduating university in 2023 I have been fortunate enough to find work in travel leading me mostly to places in the Middle East. A place I find a deep connection to. The deep seeded culture of respect and beauty lies there. I have worked on a small Yemeni island for extended periods of time leading me to use my camera to explain what I see and feel. My method examines the space between my headspace and what I witness. I use photo collage to stretch the boundaries of what an image can tell alluding to not only the truth but also something unexplainable."

“This image explores the space surrounding us. I believe the ultimate goal of art is architecture, and through my lens, I focus on the interplay between space, light, and material.”

“I was born in 1975, in the midst of the Polish People's Republic's propaganda of success, in Tychy, a city often described as 'socialist,' almost entirely built after World War II. However, I did not pledge allegiance to the communist regime. By the time I grew up, it had already fallen, but I did pledge allegiance to my city. I have lived and worked in Tychy all my life, and it is here that my best photographs were taken. Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember, but it was only with the arrival of the 21st century that I decided to make it the medium through which I want to convey my ideas, ambitions, emotions, and sensitivity."

Artur Jastrzębski

"What I do has its source in my youthful passion from many years ago. I think that despite the passage of time, I have not managed to get rid of this youthful spontaneity, fortunately, and photography will always be my great passion."

"Modernism."

"I found myself under the bridge, quietly searching for a trace of silence, a moment where the simplicity I long for could gently settle within the frame. These images are my quiet notes, written with light, shadow, and stillness."

Brigitte currently lives in Switzerland. She is a self-taught photographer, started shooting as a child inspired by her grandfather whose name she chose to bear as her artist’s name to honour him. 
 
She shot with a film camera for years be it color or black and white, spent hours developing her films in a dark room. In her twenties she travelled around the globe taking her camera along and thus gained great experience especially in landscape and street life photography. 
 
Being reasonable instead of listening to her passion she studied medicine and is still partly working as a medic. Though after a life changing event she had more time for herself and the passion for photography came back stronger than ever. Still taken mostly by landscape and street life photography but also starting to experiment with other approaches.

"In the City, 
Surrounded by high-rises, 
Bustling, 
Busy streets. 
Looking up, taking shots 
Looking for unusual perspectives. 
Impressed by the intermingling 
Of old and modern 
Then I was ready to go for the rise. 
I found a way, 
I was in awe, 
Discovering London from above, 
Shooting colour, Black and white and with filters. 
I had so much fun, 
Stayed for hours 
On the garden rooftop, 
Wandering from one end to the other, 
Feeling at peace in the heights. 
I saw reflections 
What’s the subject... 
The crane or the Shard? 
The built or the being built?"

Michael Eckart was born in West Germany after the Second World War. He has spent significant time in Japan, Bali, and other parts of Asia, but Venice now feels like home. 
 
From a young age, he aspired to be a photographer or designer, always drawn to creativity. However, these passions did not take center stage in his career until much later. 
 
In the 1960s, he began designing window displays and creating objects for visual merchandising. During this time, MoMA requested some of his designs for an exhibition on contemporary design in New York. 
 
In 2016, his son gifted him an old camera, reigniting his passion for photography. 
 
In 2024, he entered his first photography competition and achieved success.

"For me, Singapore is, in many ways, one of the most progressive cities in the world. It is far ahead of others, especially in environmental protection. You cannot help but be overwhelmed by the audacity of its futuristic ambitions. Canyons of skyscrapers dominate downtown, yet everything is remarkably green. In stark contrast, Singapore’s trendiest, oldest, and most relaxed district, Tiong Bahru, offers a different pace. Bicycles roll leisurely past geometric Bauhaus and Art Deco facades. People sit outside cafés, enjoying the unhurried atmosphere. Everything feels slower. It was here that I looked through the wide-open window of a ground-floor flat. Fascinated by what I saw, I asked the occupant if I could photograph the room. This moment gave me an intimate glimpse into the living culture of Tiong Bahru’s residents at 3:42 p.m. on December 10, 2016. I truly hope it remains the same."

“Colour in photography plays a particularly significant role for me. I love how it can transform ordinary scenes, imbuing them with depth and emotional richness. I enjoy capturing moments and emotions, sharing them with others through my photographs.”

"Nothing of Tumbling Down the Stairs."

“Photography has been my passion for almost thirty years, since 1998. My first photograph was taken with a film camera, the 'Zenith' paired with a 'Helios' lens, both made during the USSR. I started with film photography and, after a few years, transitioned to digital cameras. I quickly realised that the possibilities offered by modern lenses and cameras provide unlimited potential for creativity. Often, unique yet little-known lenses and filters can unlock new creative horizons and produce stunning images. My favourite genres include scientific photography, macro photography, portraiture, and landscape photography. Since 2015, I have been publishing my work in various magazines. Over time, my photographs have been recognised at exhibitions in Russia, Great Britain, China, Mexico, and other countries around the world. I am a member of the Eurasian Art Union and the Association of Photographers Eurasia (ILFIAP in Russia).”

“Photographing has been my favourite for over two decades. I prefer the canons of the classical school of photography, focusing on proportions that have stood the test of time. Minimal digital processing and natural light form the foundation of my creativity. While the world is multifaceted with countless reflections, my art seeks to highlight kind and gentle ones. My favourite genres include portrait, landscape photography, and everyday life photography. I am honoured that my photos have been published in various journals and recognised at creative exhibitions worldwide, including in Russia, Great Britain, China, Mexico, and many others. I am a member of the Association of Photographers Eurasia (ILFIAP in Russia) and the Eurasian Art Union.”

"The Way to the Sky."

“I was born in Alessandria, Italy, in 1966. I live in a small town in the province of Alessandria, and since 2004, I have lived without television in the countryside. I love animals and nature. I love life. I had never photographed in my life until one day in 2010 when I saw a sunflower still blooming amidst many buckets, and I ran to buy a camera. I haven't stopped since then. I began by photographing with a small point-and-shoot camera, focusing on flowers and insects at first. In 2011, I bought two Olympus cameras, which I still use with great pleasure. In 2012, the first awards arrived: a photo on permanent display in the National Library of France in Paris and three photos awarded on the anniversary of the I.P.A. I have tried to photograph many things, sometimes with success. What I enjoy most is being able to tell stories, to express what I cannot say in words. I find it wonderful to communicate who I am, and I am proud to be the president of the photographic club Oltregiogo.”

“As a retired professor of literature, I now have more time for my lifelong hobby: photography. I see it as a medium for individually reinterpreting the principles and possibilities of various visual arts, primarily painting and drawing. I enjoy emphasising the humour and charm they suggest. "Colors, Lines, and Spaces of Malaga" was taken in the Old Town of Malaga, Spain, just behind the famous Picasso Museum. Two chefs hurry back to work at a well-known restaurant around the corner. Posters promoting the creation of a nearby Sephardic history museum hint at Malaga’s rich cultural life. The vibrant energy of the Old Town; its blend of geometric and organic forms, the contrast between a modern mural and the historic surroundings, and the subtly enigmatic smirk of a face with distinctly Spanish features creates a truly dynamic and compelling composition.”

"Helena Art & Carolina Anyways create real art from every photo, be it fashion or street photography, their photo works always expand the boundaries of the usual. This work depicts an ordinary tree trunk lattice, but the bright sun revealed the urban environment, creating an urban ornament of light and shadow, everything else is an illusion."

"Geometry"

Geometry is fundamental to spatial expression, shaping how forms exist and interact within their environments. It governs proportion, defines movement, and creates both harmony and tension. Photography captures these relationships, lines converging, planes shifting, and forms asserting their presence with precision or flowing into unexpected configurations.

Through the lens, spaces and structures are transformed into reflections of geometry’s influence. What emerges is not just a vision of the physical world but a way of seeing the silent forces that define our experience of space.
