In Artdoc Issue #2, 2025, The Meditative Lens, we present artistic photographs that emerge from a deeper resonance with natural surroundings. At a time when we are overwhelmed by fast images and the world is moving at a relentless speed, while anxiety and fear impact us deeply, serene images of tranquillity, created with mindful attention, invite us to regain our much-needed peace of mind. In this issue, we have selected strong and captivating images from the overwhelming number of fantastic submissions received from engaging photographers worldwide. They all practise mindful photography, the act of creating images shaped by awareness. This practice invites the viewer to pause and contemplate life today in all its forms and manifestations, much like Zen meditation. Featured Artists: Aya Okawa, Eckart Bartnik, Viet Ha Tran, Wlad Gustynowicz, Alejandra Nowiczewski, Justin Pumfrey, Kostis Argyriadis, Luca Ortis, Samuele Quaranta, Ulrike Pichl, Geralda Odinot, Sonja Priller, and John Riddy.
In Artdoc Issue #1, 2025, Beyond the Frame: Picturing Artistic Narratives, we explore photographic storytelling through innovative and imaginative frames. The traditional frame of the classical photograph has always imposed boundaries on expression and meaning. Today, photographers are experimenting with techniques that challenge these constraints, bending reality and suggesting narratives that extend beyond the frame. In this issue, we invite you to appreciate the beauty of photography and engage with its deeper cultural significance—whether beyond or within the frame. Photography not only informs us but also serves as a counterbalance to the absurdities of daily life. Featured Artists: Juan Brenner, Thom Pierce, Linda Plaisted, Natalia Rudychev, Noru Innes, Caroline Sohie, Dan Ramaën, Monique Belier, Rachele Gabrielli, Chelle Wallace, Dominique Philippe Bonnet, Irina Cheremisina, and Sander Vos.
In Artdoc Issue #6, 2024, Life Today, we present a broad collection of photographs portraying various aspects of our everyday lives. Life Today highlights the idea that all photographs inherently reflect the era in which we live. This issue captures the rhythms, connections, and stories that define our contemporary world. From natural landscapes to the intimacy of human relationships, and from everyday moments to abstract expressions, these photographs reveal our lives today. This issue features interviews with Richard Sharum and Mauro Curti and highlights the work of Diana Markosian, Emma Godfrey Pigott, Ludovica Limido, Mariet Dingemans, Cosimo Campagna, Hanne Jones Solfjeld, Giuseppe Satriani, Pieter Jan Boterhoek, Samara Meyer, and Olena Morozova.
This Artdoc Magazine Issue #5, 2024, The Unobserved, showcases projects that focus on the often-overlooked details of daily life, capturing moments and scenes that typically escape our attention. Images of ordinary settings reveal the beauty, enigma, and significance within the everyday. By capturing these unnoticed aspects, the artists invite viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle rhythms and life patterns that go unobserved. This issue features interviews with Alba Yruela, Francesco Neri, and J H Engström, and highlights Yiming Zhu, Olga Zaverzhenets, Maria Semmer, Kaytlin Schmidt, Jerzy Wierzbicki, Elisabeth Sanders, Ole Marius Joergensen, Shijia Song, Paula Bardi, and Shannon O'Connor.
