Listening With the Eyes – The Photography of Arturo Lopez
Arturo Lopez walks into a place looking for truth. For what slips past the noise of the world – the overlooked, the gestures that most of us never notice. “I travel with my camera not in search of beauty, but in pursuit of truth,” he says.
The Human Fragment – Paul van Walree’s Search for Presence
For Paul, it began with a child’s curiosity - and a broken plastic camera. Growing up in a small historical town in the Netherlands, he remembers photographing his friends in primary school, eager to preserve what was in front of him.
Paolo Serrau – Nothing Is to Be Taken for Granted
For our first interview in the Rare Storyteller series, we sit down with Paolo Serrau – a photographer whose work is rooted in light, shadow, and memory. Born in Southern Italy in the 1970s, Paolo’s lens is shaped by a childhood of sunlight and silence, the loss of his father, and an enduring search for emotion in every frame. His images, often defined by stark contrasts and deep blacks, are not just photographs but questions – attempts to understand beauty, fragility, and the passing of t
The Atmosphere Between Us – Antje Clausmeyer’s Way of Seeing
Some photographers look for faces, for expressions, for the unmistakable stamp of individuality. Antje looks elsewhere. Since 2021, her lens has been drawn to something more elusive - the atmospheres that hang between people and places.
The Gaze That Finds the Invisible – Marika’s Fragments of Emotion
Some people see the world. Marika feels it. Her photography begins in a split second - an instinct as primal as breath. A flash in the corner of her vision. A flicker that dares her to look closer. In that instant, she knows she must take the shot. It’s not a choice. It’s an adrenaline surge that races from her eyes, through her hands, into the lens. An electricity that demands to be preserved.
The Distance Between Us: Bridging Cultures Through France Leclerc’s Lens
France Leclerc’s journey into photography wasn’t born from a childhood dream or a technical obsession. It didn’t begin with shutter speeds or lighting setups. It began, instead, with a question: How do we understand one another, across all the invisible lines that separate us? For much of her life, France studied human behavior in classrooms and lecture halls. As an academic, she was trained to analyze — to dissect patterns, question assumptions, and find meaning in human action. But ev
In the Company of Strangers: The Photographic Journey of Zahed Hassan
In the heart of a small coastal town called Kakinada, a boy grew up with books and a restless imagination. Zahed Hassan didn't know it then, but all those pages he turned—filled with stories, people, and places—were quietly shaping how he would one day see the world through a lens. He didn’t pick up a camera to chase perfection. He picked it up to understand people. It started near the sea, with fishermen silhouetted against a rising sun. The ocean was his first muse—fluid, honest, eve
Shadows, Ruins, and the Theater of the Mind – Lucia Bottegoni
When Lucia Bottegoni first picked up a camera during the pandemic, she wasn’t looking for a profession – she was looking for a release. What began as a way to pass time and distract herself slowly transformed into a ritual of exploration. With an old mobile phone and a restless spirit, she wandered into forgotten places, drawn by contradiction. It wasn’t the clean lines or picturesque views that moved her – it was decay, abandonment, and stillness that breathed of stories untold. “I l
Through Strangers, She Found Herself: The Journey of Malikaptures
In October 2022, Malika Abdellaoui packed her life into a bag and walked into the unknown. No map, no rigid plan—just a longing for connection and the courage to follow it. She left northern France behind and began traveling, camera in hand, not yet knowing that what she was really chasing wasn’t landscapes or landmarks, but people. She didn’t train formally. She didn’t wait until she felt ready. Photography became something she lived into, one step, one conversation, one shared smile a
