Alon Goldsmith
Alon Goldsmith
South Africa/United States
1961
Dubbed “LA’s iPhoneography Wizard” by Forbes magazine, Alon Goldsmith is an award-winning photographer who has been featured extensively across media and exhibited in galleries around the globe. Alon’s achievements include overall winner of the MIRA Mobile Prize in 2022, 3rd place in the Los Angeles Center of Photography’s Street Photography Around the World Competition, winner of Santa Monica College’s Curriculum Cover Contest and runner up in the journalism category in the prestigious Mobile Photography Awards. Alon was a jury member for the 2018 and 2019 MPAs. His work has also been published in Street Photography Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Reader's Digest, the Forward, the Argonaut and the App Whisperer, and has been extensively featured in Snap and Mobiography magazines. In 2020, Alon published In Place | Portraits of a Pandemic, a book documenting people isolating during lockdown. In 2025 he published 366 Days in the Life of an iPhone Wizard featuring a photo taken every day during 2024. ARTIST STATEMENT: I am a photographer and storyteller drawn to the intersections of people, place, and perception. My work explores how we inhabit the world together — how identity, environment, and chance encounters shape our shared experience of being alive. Whether photographing a stranger on a busy street or creating large-scale composite portraits, I seek to reveal the quiet connections that exist beneath the surface of ordinary life. Photography, for me, is an act of attention. It asks me to slow down, to notice, and to honor the presence of others. Much of my work begins in public space — sidewalks, markets, transit stops, festivals — places where humanity unfolds in its most spontaneous and diverse form. I am fascinated by how these encounters, however brief, can become profound when framed through care and curiosity. The camera becomes less a tool of documentation and more a bridge — a means of acknowledging another person’s existence. Over the years, my projects have consistently examined how art can restore connection in a fragmented world. During the pandemic, my series In Place | Portraits of a Pandemic became both archive and lifeline — documenting resilience and loneliness while reaffirming the human capacity for hope. That experience crystallized my belief that photography can serve as a form of care, a way of holding space for others. My current series, Going Places, continues this pursuit on a global scale. Each collage is built from dozens of environmental portraits taken within the same setting — city squares, beaches, villages — then woven together into a single composition. Some subjects engage directly with the camera; others remain absorbed in their own rhythm. The result is a visual chorus that speaks to the tension between individuality and belonging. In expanding this series across continents, I aim to create a planetary portrait — a reflection of how people live, adapt, and coexist within their ecological and cultural environments. Ultimately, I see my practice as a dialogue between seeing and being seen. The work invites viewers to slow their gaze, to recognize themselves in others, and to sense the invisible threads that bind us all. Photography, at its best, is an act of empathy — a quiet reminder that we are, each of us, part of something larger, fragile, and profoundly connected. AAP Magazine: AAP Magazine 52 Street
Matthew Portch
Matthew Portch
United Kingdom
1970
I was born and raised in Bristol, England through the '70s and '80s in a typical suburb. As a child, television and movies were my favourite distraction, especially anything from the United States. The backdrop of the North American scenery felt like an exotic antidote to the humdrum of the English city suburbs and countryside. I was a keen illustrator spending hours pouring over the minutia of the subject matter. I wanted my drawings to feel as close to reality as possible. This work saw me enrolled in college at a young age where I studied Photography and Graphic Design. Drawing on my childhood memories, the visuals of the American landscape remained a major influence on my photography. I became inspired by North American photographers of the '60s and '70s who were prevalent in using large format film. This laborious system of capture enhanced these seemingly ordinary looking street scenes and vistas with fastidious detail. I discovered a more modern process in the form of a technical camera, digital back, and precision optics, then proceeded to cast my own journey. I like my pictures to be aesthetically simple, clean and graphic, which resonates with my background in design. I prefer the images to retain an air of perplexity, so keeping them free of people and any notable present-day object helps suspend them in a moment in time. As with most large format photography techniques, when I photograph a scene I capture everything across the frame in complete focus. This can lend a heightened sense of reality. Given each picture is deliberately simple and mundane – the detail of the capture is just as important as the subject matter and becomes a character of the image in itself. I use the full size of the sensor and prefer not to crop. Restricting myself to this discipline is almost a digital reverence to large format film. My creative vision is to capture a calm and melancholic disposition in the landscape and create a scene of discernible simplicity to evoke an emotional and response from within. About Lost America Lost America examines a quiet stillness in a forgotten landscape that is, in a sense: 'on-pause'. Backwater towns and rural corners are juxtaposed with the ambiguity of detached suburbia. Places appear frozen in time, their inhabitants absent or long since departed. Ardently stagnant in their appearance, the images aim to unlock a moment of reflective contemplation and instil a melancholic feeling of familiarity. One might not notice or acknowledge these spaces, especially when viewed within the vast stretch of America's panorama. Yet, when framed as a single vignette, the places can appear to echo a moment of mournful reverie. Or, for some, they might behold an alluringly sombre, everlasting impression.
Elisa Miller
Elisa Miller
France
1981
Elisa Miller is an award-winning French photographer based in London, UK. She tells visual stories using a vintage and colorful aesthetic to explore questions of identity, self-perception, and the representation of women. Her work delves into the impact of societal pressure on women and the images that lie beneath the surface, using light and elaborate settings to explore the female psyche through a cinematic lens. Originally from Paris, Elisa began experimenting with photography after moving to London in 2017. In the years before relocating, fascinated by Hollywood glamour, she hung out in the rockabilly milieu of Paris and became a pin-up model for retro clothing brands and classic car magazines. She has been shortlisted for and won numerous awards, including "Photographer of the Year" at the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards in 2023, "Fine art photographer of the year" at PX3 Prix de la Photography Paris in 2022, "People Photographer of the Year" at the International Photography Awards in 2021, and shortlisted at the British Photography Awards and Aesthetica Art Prize.

Agniva Kolay
Agniva Kolay
India
1997
Agniva Kolay is a photographer based in Bangalore whose work spans wildlife, travel, aerial, street, and underwater photography. A self-taught photographer, he is drawn to moments where simplicity, geometry, and emotion come together through minimalist compositions and the use of negative space. Through extensive travel and exploration, Agniva documents both natural and human environments with a focus on form, relationships, and scale. Influenced by both painting and documentary photography, he approaches his images as an intersection of art and observation, using photography not just to document a scene, but to reinterpret it through form, atmosphere, and perspective. Statement For me, a successful photograph is one that creates both visual impact and emotional connection. All About Photo Competitions Photographer of the Week 23, 2026

Lilian Caruana

"As an immigrant from Italy growing up in New York, I was drawn to observing people and fascinated by differences in cultural behavior. I saw myself always faced with the dilemma of interpreting and reconciling home country with adopted country norms and behavior. Things that were perfectly normal in one culture could be foreign, even problematic, in the other. I developed “antennas” having to constantly read and interpret cultural cues or nuances in interactions with people. This feeling of being an outsider made me want to know more about people, how they lived, what they believed in. Seeking this, anthropology has been a lifelong study that I explore photographically. Photography has served as a passport that allows me entry to worlds normally closed to me. The central theme of my photography is individuals who are outside the mainstream of the larger society. I have photographed immigrants, punks and skinheads, Austrian farmers in the Italian Alps, inner city youth and gang members. My work explores how individuals who, either by choice or because they are seen as “the other,” live outside the dominant culture. My goal is to explore how individuals shape their identity and give voice to their own existence." REBELS: Punks and Skinheads of New York’s East Village "New York’s East Village has always been a haven for strivers, a home for immigrants, artists, poets and later the place where the punk movement was born. In 1984 I moved there and was fascinated by the young people walking around sporting body metal, torn clothing, tatoos, and chains. I photographed them in the streets, in the abandoned buildings they called home and in the clubs like CBGB where they played their hardcore music. These were young people who were looking for a more authentic way to be and did not see a place for themselves in mainstream society. It was exciting to see, in what appeared to be squalor and dissolution, something being born. With grit and ingenuity they took vacant lots filled with rubble and turned them into urban gardens, abandoned buildings into housing, and anger into art, music and community. Despite the drugs, poverty, and violence that battered the East Village at the time, the creative response was there, raw and beautiful, and that is what interested me."

1960
I am a self-taught photographer who spent 35 years living and working in Africa, with long stays in Somalia, West Africa and Tanzania. I started out as an agricultural engineer but soon switched to photography in order to follow an old passion. I have since shot numerous stories for all sorts of magazines, including the Sunday Times Magazine, National Geographic Magazine, Geo, the Smithsonian and Paris-Match. I have a special interest in anthropology and ethnography, something that - I hope - has helped me capture the essence of my subjects. In the past most of my stories where about rare traditions that somehow linked man and wildlife, but Africa has changed a lot in the last few decades and unfortunately most of these traditions have now disappeared. My recent work has therefore been more personal and contemplative and less focused on narrative picture stories meant for magazines. In fact, today my interest lies in the convergence between art and documentary photography. I have also moved away from color photography and now only shoot in black and white. My work has received several major awards, including a World Press Photo Award and a Fuji Award. My latest project on the Swahili Coast also obtained the following recognitions: 2017 HIPA Hamdan International Photography Awards - 2nd Prize, Portfolio Category 2017 Elliott Erwitt Havana Fellowship - Nominee 2017 Seventh Annual Exposure Photography Awards - Winner 2017 IPA International Photography Awards - 2nd Prize, People/Culture Category 2017 Meitar Award - Nominee 2017 Monochrome Photography Awards - Photojournalism/Professional - Two Honorable Mentions 2017 Monochrome Photography Awards - People/Professional - Honorable Mention 2018 CAP Contemporary African Photography Prize - Finalist 2018 SIPA Contest - Honorable Mention 2019 SOPHOT Award - Winner This work on the Swahili Coast is featured in "Swahili", a book released by Contrejour Publishers in May 2019 (available on amazon.fr and amazon.co.uk). Six degrees south The Zanzibar archipelago, an highly evocative name even for those who are quite unable to locate it on a map, lies six degrees south of the Equator. It is also the exact geographical center of the Swahili Coast, a unique physical, historical and cultural entity running from Southern Somalia to Mozambique, which first grew in the 10th century through trade with the Arab world, India and China. Gold, coconut, ebony, mangrove wood, sisal, myrrh and the infamous slave trade helped make the wealth of this region, slowly shaping it and giving it its unique present character. For a thousand years now, wooden dhows have sailed these lonely shores, with their characteristic white cotton sails, using the monsoon winds to help traders move goods between Africa and Arabia. And for a thousand years too, fishermen have ploughed these rich seas for their bounty of fish, contributing with the traders to the emergence of rich city-ports like Stone Town or Mombasa. But all of this is changing now. A combination of overfishing by both local and foreign ships, population increase, changes in weather patterns as well as the recent discovery of huge gas fields in the region, is threatening this fragile equilibrium. The fishing communities that occupy these shores are particularly at risk, and it could be that we are now witnessing the last of fishing and sailing traditions that had remained largely unchanged since Ibn Battuta, the famous 12th Century Arab explorer, first described them in his travel memoirs. With this recent work I have tried to testify to the unique beauty and timelessness of the Swahili Coast, and to record it for generations to come. It is a personal, melancholic, sometimes dreamy vision of a place and a culture that are very dear to my heart but which, I now realise, may soon disappear.

Daisuke was born in Fukushima, and raised in New York, Luxembourg, Brussels and Tokyo. This nomadic life, spending most of his childhood abroad, inevitably aroused his curiosity on other countries as well as longing for his home country, Japan. Discovering how diverse our world is and finding out that his homeland is one of a kind remains the source of his inquisitive mind to see the world, which now leads to his travel and street photography. Daisuke started his career as a photographer on the cruise ship, and spent six years exploring the coastline of the globe as an onboard photographer of Nippon Maru and Princess Cruises. During his career on the ships, he has visited more than 150 ports in 56 countries around the world. He is a full member of Japan Travel Photographer Association since 2018.

Exclusive Interview with Luca Desienna and Laura Estelle Barmwoldt
For over seven years, Of Lilies and Remains has explored the depths of the goth and darkwave underground, unfolding in Leipzig—a city long associated with a vibrant and enduring subcultural scene. Moving between iconic gatherings such as Wave-Gotik-Treffen and more intimate moments on the fringes, the project offers a rare and immersive glimpse into a world often misunderstood, yet rich in expression and community. Created by Luca in collaboration with Laura Estelle Barmwoldt, the work embraces a cinematic and deeply personal approach. Rather than documenting from a distance, it moves within the scene itself, capturing its atmosphere, its codes, and its quiet contradictions. The title Of Lilies and Remains hints at this duality—where beauty and darkness, fragility and strength coexist. As the book prepares for its release, we spoke with both artists about the origins of the project, their process, and what it means to document a subculture that continues to evolve while remaining true to its spirit.
