Uwe Schröder
Manuel Claro Afable
The image of Uwe Schröder is captivating in its sweetness. Upon closer examination, you can see the profile of a child in the bottom right corner, which highlights the connection flowing among all the children depicted. The image is beautifully composed, with harmonious colours and a compelling story.
The image of Manuel Claro Afable represents a perfect street that narrates the story of life while symbolising the unbridgeable generational gap in this new millennium.

Tina Manley - Harrie Miller
Don Springer - Sultan Koç
Tom Schphotography - Manas Das
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."
