Artdoc Issue #1 2022, The Artivists, brings the views of artivist photographers about topics like justice, environment and genocide. We present two major projects of Gideon Mendel about the devastating effect of climate change. In addition, we show the work of Jan Banning, who is fighting for the release of an innocent prisoner. Barry Salzman visualises traumas of modern-day holocausts, photographing landscapes at different sites of genocide. Finally, Nicolas Boyer shows the dark side of everyday life in Japan. In the face of the recent horrific developments, the work of honest photographers remains highly relevant.
In this last issue of the year, Artdoc Photography Magazine presents the vision of female photographers. Female photographers have a great capacity for empathy with which they metaphorically portray the world of emotions and personal experiences. Through the camera lens, they do not record factual reality but they show their expressive and subjective vision of the turbulent world. Featured in Issue 6 Female Visions: Rania Matar, Cecilia Reynoso, Katja Liebmann, Catherine Dovellos, Daria Dar, Maura Jamieson, Lara Gilks and Paula Rae Gibson.
In this issue #5, Artdoc brings the photographer as the lens-based artist, who shows us the reality we tend to overlook. Michele Borzoni photographs the often hidden places where people work. Peter Bialobrzeski showed the chaos in the outskirts of Mumbai. Dario Mitidieri photographed Syrian families in an open-air studio. Chloe Sells constructs landscapes with layers of textures and colours to express her experience of nature. And the exhibition Lens Based Art shows the work of experimental photographers.
In Artdoc Issue #4 2021we bring photographers who investigate our complex reality. French photographer Mathieu Asselin said this about his documentary project Monsanto: a photographic investigation: “You can have your own truth, but you cannot have your own facts.” Indian photographer Alakananda Nag delved into her city’s history, concluding that the Armenians could be the founding fathers of Calcutta. French photographer Florian Ruiz distorted his images as a metaphor for the environmental distortion of the radioactive sites in China. The Artdoc exhibition Documentary Stories shows different photographers who all engage in new ways of visual storytelling. In his essay, Koray Değirmenci discusses the validity of the manipulated digital image. We should read modern multi-layered photographs as metaphors of invisible realities.
In many parts of the world, humans are looking for a better life in political freedom, social justice, and happiness. In Artdoc Issue #3-2021, we bring stories of defectors, refugees and survivors. Tim Franco photographed North Korean defectors in Seoul. Charlotte Schmitz took images of refugees arriving at the Greek islands. In Peru, Max Cabello Orcasitas captured the grief of the survivors of the battles between the government and the Shining Path. Sébastien Cuvelier searched for Paradise in Iran and found walled gardens. Finally, Simon Norfolk photographed the struggle against global warming in the Swiss glaciers.
Is documentary photography art? In Artdoc Issue #2-2021, we bring artistic approaches to documentary photography. First, Cuban photographer, Ricardo Miguel Hernández, shows that national identity is a construction of collected memories. Next, Chris Dorley-Brown digitally blended many shots of East London corners into realistic and natural photographs. Romanian photographer Roxana Savin staged her pictures of the monotonous life in a gated residence. Argentinian photographer Guillermo Srodek-Hart photographed the many old rural bars and shops in his country. Finally, Russian photojournalist Valery Melnikov documented the last Armenian inhabitants of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh.
In the Mindful Photography e-guide, the act of photographing becomes something more than visual — it becomes a form of attention. A quiet dialogue between self and subject, between presence and perception. This guide is not a manual of techniques. It is a carefully composed invitation to pause, breathe, and create from within stillness. What does it mean to look with awareness? What happens when we stop chasing images and allow the world to approach us instead? At its core lies a simple yet transformative idea: that photography can be a meditative act — one that does not rush toward outcome, but unfolds from awareness. Experience what it means to practise photography with presence.
Art photography is a compelling blend of creativity and visual storytelling, transcending traditional photography to stir the imagination and evoke emotions. It goes beyond capturing moments, using images to communicate ideas, provoke thought, and establish a deep connection with viewers. This guide explores the essence of art photography, revealing its role as a window into human experience and a reflection of societal issues. You’ll discover its power as a communication tool and its ability to merge art with documentary photography. Dive in to understand this expressive art form and unleash your creative potential through the lens.
We have to understand photography as a language. A photograph is an image in which various signs are embedded, just like texts have words. Words form a sentence, and the sentences together tell a story. We can read pictures the way we can read a book. We can search in the photograph and look for the meaning. But in a picture, there are no words and sentences. We have to grasp meaning from the totality of the image, in which every detail plays a part. In this guide, you will learn how to read images and the way the photographer produces meaning in photographs.
A photo project is more than just a collection of images—it's a unique narrative told through a harmonious blend of style, emotion, message, subject, and technique. Each photograph within the series works together to convey a compelling story. By approaching your photo series with the same care and intention as you would a written story, you can create a powerful visual narrative. Unlock the secrets to creating captivating photo projects with our comprehensive guide. Start creating your unique photo project today. In this guide, you will learn to develop a distinctive and personal visual language that sets your work apart. Learn how to select and refine subjects that form the foundation of your photo projects, and you will master the art of constructing a cohesive and compelling photo series that tells a powerful story.
