Being Human

Issue nr. 3 2026

In Artdoc Issue #3 2026, Being Human, we present photographers whose work reflects our shared humanity across cultures, communities, and continents. Their images portray people as fellow human beings, connected by experience, dignity, and everyday life. Larry Snider documents life in Tibet as traditional cultures gradually disappear. Matilde Simas focuses on human stories shaped by vulnerability and social change. Panji Indra’s The Cyclist Portrait honours Java’s bicycle vendors, while Roberto Pazzi highlights communities whose traditions are fading. Ruben Timman travels widely to photograph individuals whose stories deserve recognition. Alongside the portfolios, discover two articles exploring documentary portraiture: The Documentary Portrait as a Way to Tell Stories and How to Tell Stories Through Documentary Portraits. Issue #3 2026 features work by Roberto Pazzi, Ruben Timman, Matilde Simas, Panji Indra, Larry Snider, Glenn Porter, Simone Marchetti, Steff Gruber, Trevor Cole, Nick David, Owen Prucey, Rotraud Priesner-Berger, and Susanne Reuling.
