Modern Photographers / E

The process of working on still lives is very exciting. Even after you think you have imagined a final outcome in your mind—what seems to be just a quick arrangement and a camera click away, it surprises you and you find yourself drawn to changing the composition and adjusting its elements. Everything turns to motion—backgrounds, objects, lights. Piles of discarded “left overs” begin to appear and grow. At a certain point, you glance at the piles and see a new inspiration—an interesting shape, a fresh spark of light, an unexpected color. It triggers the imagination and sends you on another journey—a new story that wishes to be told.


It will happen to them Every year around Mary’s Day, the Csatka Pilgrimage is held - this is when Roma families from all over the Carpathian Basin who believe in the mystery of the Csatka Holy Well travel to the village in Komárom-Esztergom county. . This year I visited the Csatka Pilgrimage for the first time, which I had only heard of before, and it became clear to me on the spot that it is a duty for a photographer of Roma origin to take pictures.

Humanity is increasingly indifferent to the fate of nature on its planet. Man is no longer able to recognize the value of the beauty that surrounds him. Paolo Ameli realizes a project of naturalistic images that draws inspiration from that invisible to the eyes revealed thanks to the infrared technique. His photographs are composed lines that cross the skies and climb fluidly into the contrast of nature, to dig deep and intimate emotions. Rarefied at first glance, they scratch the paper and the eyes. They dream of the moon with their feet firmly planted on earth.

My ongoing project delves into the complex realm of modern parenthood, aiming to meditate on and examine its essence while unraveling its underlying driving forces. What began as two separate projects, "You are my Mother" and "You are my Father," evolved into an intertwined exploration, leading to a much grander and fundamental question: What defines parenthood in our present-day world?

Shortly after moving to London in 1990, I began photographing at Smithfield Market. I was fascinated by the strong thread of family tradition among the employees and by their work methods which had scarcely changed in 130 years

With an old Polaroid camera I preserve memories and fleeting contemplations. It freezes snapshots from life. A bird dies, a flower bursting out, winter passes and most of it goes on in silence. The images are photographed with a special polaroid film that was manufactured by accident. If left alone the polaroid images degrade and eventually fade entirely to black. I snap the shot and the chemistry slowly darkens the film in a gradient from blue-green tones to yellowish-brown over approximately 24 hours until the photographs turn black. I have to stop the degradation by destroying the polaroid,
