Love Me Like A River Does

Progressive-Street has opened a new place for photographers:

A place where we look for images that make the difference.

Images that communicate moods.

That is beautiful but not cloying.

We are not looking for beautiful women, pretty flowers, sunsets or enchanting landscapes.

We seek soul, joy, pain.

We seek perfect imperfection.

Screams, uneasiness, happiness.

Manipulations are accepted.

This is not simply about the perfection of the photographic technique.

It’s more than that.

In some instances, the photograph alone may be the art.

In others, it’s the start point or driving force within the resulting art.

The images must have been by design, perhaps part of projects; that express personal research by the photographer. We do not want accidental shots masked with overprocessing.

A small magazine will be born. Sometimes monographic, sometimes collective, with no fixed deadline.

It is a challenge, we will learn during our journey together.

Thanks to all those who will have the courage, the will and the patience to undertake this adventure with us.

In keeping with the positive nature and the learning we’ll go through, we should consider the following: we shouldn’t seem to condemn the photographs by categorisation. We are trying to find expressions. It doesn't matter if we define them: street, conceptual, landscape etc...
