This week, I wanted to pair some striking images.
The first two represent two very different realities: exploitation (Tina Manley) and well-being (Harrie Miller). Both images are exceptional in their own right.
The two gritty black-and-white photographs share a common theme of contact with their subjects, albeit in different ways. The first image (Don Springer) captures a casual interaction that conveys uncertainty, and perhaps even annoyance. In contrast, the second image (Sultan Koç) is more intentional, portraying a subject who exudes confidence and happiness in his work.
The two colour photographs, despite their similar colour palettes, exemplify different photographic projects. The first one (Tom Schphotography) explores a reflected world, evoking a range of sensations that viewers can derive from it—what we might refer to as "the other side." The second image (Manas Das) presents a deceptive still life that invites us to imagine the figure in the poster as a real person, serving as a protagonist in what we refer to as the "fake world."

A blurred image evokes thoughts of a relationship between two people, despite knowing it isn’t true. It’s cold, but a pale sun filters through the window. Poetic.

A great example of chiaroscuro: it narrates a story with perfect composition and beautiful details.

I wanted to explore many combinations of images but ended up choosing five portraits, each representing a different way to depict a face. Corinne's portrait is symbolic, suggesting themes of female submission. Sultan's portrait is emotional, using black and white to evoke a classic feel. Ouarzi and Jorge each offer expressionist portraits, though their approaches differ. Meanwhile, Nadia showcases her usual style by revealing an invisible aspect, adding an element of magic to her work.

Two conceptual images depict the same protagonist—a walking person—using a consistent curve and line in both. This harmony suggests a sense of guidance in the walk, lending an intriguing perspective to the visual narrative.

This image beautifully represents the themes of old age and the passage of time, inviting viewers to reflect on the nuances of daily life. While it may not feature anything overtly 'exciting,' it encourages thoughtful consideration and deeper understanding. The window, in particular, adds an impressive and compelling element to the composition.
