The Anthropocene is the epoch in which humans have a profound influence on the climate. Since awareness of the pollution of the environment has arisen, a movement has emerged that practices a critical look at invisible pollution by humans. In this Artdoc issue, we bring the work of photographers concerned with climate and environmental developments, like water constructions, drought, mining and oil spills in pristine landscapes. In this issue we feature Claudius Schulze, Jasper Bastian, Nadia Bseiso, Igor Tereshkov and Ellen Jantzen.
In Artdoc Photo Magazine Issue #5 2020, we bring stories that treat different aspects of human life. Andres Serrano photographed homeless people in the streets of Brussels. Gregg Segal shows children from all over the world surrounded by the food they eat. Nelson Morales brings his project about muxes, people considered to be a third gender. The exhibition Human Beings, not Human Skins, is an answer to the global phenomenon of racism. The essay The Selfie as a Neoliberal Commodity explains why we take selfies.
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.

A Soulful of Whispers takes us to the crossroads of reality and a dream-like world. As one grows older, one looks back, fleetingly at first, then more deliberately. What did I achieve? What must I focus on? Such interrogations are kindled by a growing sense of nostalgia for bygone years. Matthieu Zellweger embraces blurriness and crepuscular light close up: storytelling elements to engage viewers in a subjective and introspective experience, and to symbolize the constant flux inherent to the passage of time.
