Settled on the Kola Peninsula, Saamis of Russia lost their nomadic autonomy with the arrival of the Soviet power in the 1920s. This people who lived mainly from reindeer herding and fishing in the tundra, was forced to live in apartment buildings. Children of nature, Saamis were depressed about losing their natural rhythms and being locked in "cages". Gathered in a main Saami village - Lovozero, located in the hinterland of the city of Murmansk, this place was considered as a reserve. Settled to work in kolkhozes, they no longer had the right to be Saami.

Cross-dressing is the act of wearing clothing associated with the opposite sex. The transgender community adopted the term in 1976, replacing the word transvestism, commonly used by the psychiatric community to describe a psychological disorder or perversion. Historically, cross-dressing has served those seeking to avoid military service, participate safely in demonstrations, and for religious practices. Today, in a movement to abolish outdated social conventions, individuals are proudly claiming their fundamental right to self-expression, and demanding to be accepted for who they truly are.

Almost immediately, protests erupted outside the Supreme Court as women expressed their anger and fear over the ruling.

The astrophotographs in Abstracting Eternity aim to capture nebulae, the massive clouds of gas and dust in which stars are born. Because nebulae represent the universe in the process of creation, still relatively formless, they lend themselves to a degree of abstraction that appeals to me as an artist. This takes my images a step away from pure science. I never want viewers to forget, though, that the photographs capture the universe as it was billions of light years ago—an eternity that inspires awe, humbles us with our own insignificance, and puts our human troubles in perspective

Street and documentary photographer based in Paphos-Cyprus. Although largely self-taught, I have attended a few courses run by some world-renowned photographers:Jason Eskenazi, Eric Kim, Ilias Georgiadis, Loukas Vasilikos, Michail Moscholios, Platon Rivellis. My pictures are mostly from streets around the world capturing moods, behaviours and atmospheres in people’s daily life. It helps me to connect with people on a physical level and emotional level as well. With each picture I take I aim to invite the viewers to pause and take a glimpse into the daily life it flees unnoticed.

The climate crisis is no longer just the future It takes place now and here. It demands human life and it destroys the future of children. South Sudan is experiencing severe floods in its fourth year, which is a direct consequence of climate change. 800,000 people have lost their homes to the water masses, and every day that number is getting bigger. The roads are washed away along with crops, cattle, clean water and toilets. Emergency aid in the form of food and medicine cannot emerge and people are fighting across the dry land against poisonous snakes and crocodiles.

As we were about to land in Doha, this skyline briefly appeared through the morning mist and offered an incredible show. I was fortunate enough to have the camera by my side as I would not have had the time to take it from the overhead compartment as the city quickly hid once more in the clouds.

The photos show Sead Delic, the main protagonist of the documentary movie "The Bosnian Knight". These photo were taken on the Bjelašnica mountain in Bosnia during the filming of the film and perhaps in the most authentic way represents the character of both Sead and the Bosnian man from medieval times. The photo shows the authentic mountain conditions of the blizzard that caught the team during the filming of several scenes of the film and to some extent symbolizes the endurance, determination and character, which was shaped and strengthened over time by all the burdens of life in these areas.

One of the photos from the experimental series "Sarajevski John Doe", made for a literary-photographic project with the writer from Sarajevo Adis Ahmethodzic. The photograph and its accompanying literary material try to describe the hopelessness of the love-hate relationship between an atypical man and a city in which he does not manage to fit in until the end. And, yet, love for his city is so big that for him the city stands in the sky instead of stars. He can only watch the flickering lights and wait for another collision, and try to find some beauty in the darkness.

In landscape photography, I always enjoy the light that you can experience especially in the early morning and evening hours and I try to capture a small part of this fascination in my photographs. I have specialized in long exposures at any time of day and prefer the golden and blue hour in my pictures. Perspectives, composition and light play a big role here. A small stony beach with sharp stone formations that the tides have shaped here over the years. A fascinating place where time has stopped. Thus, the thought of the sleeping dinosaur arose in me.

"Just like in photography, light plays a very important role in the operating room as well." The set of black-and-white documentary portraits "Colleagues" was created completely spontaneously: at work while working. "When I saw how the light glided over their coats, how the glare from the tools and gloves was reflected on their faces, and on top of that the emotions and concentration on the performance! It was impossible not to take a picture. I like to take pictures of my colleagues and I thank them for that."

Japanese sandfish, commonly known in Japan as "Hatahata" is an important fish especially for Akita Prefecture. The fishing is carried out only for a limited period from the end of November to the end of December. A long time ago, Japanese people gave the name "God of thunder" to Hatahata, because Hatahata comes over with the winter thunderstorm from the depths of the ocean to the coastal area. The people of Akita believe that they are the "Gift of God" during the harsh winter. This is the reason that the fishermen head to the cold ocean every year with courage and hope.

In the days of the USSR, there was a dry law when it was impossible to buy alcoholic drinks in a store. This happened under Gorbachev. And people themselves figured out how to make alcoholic drinks at home. Alexander is 85 years old and back in the 80s he found a way to make a moonshine. from his own bathhouse, where he washed himself, he made a moonshine. In the tank where the water is heated, he poured wine! Then he tightly closed the tank with wine and heated it with the help of a stove that heated this vat. So Alexander made moonshine with a strength of 86 degrees!

As an Architectural Photographer, I have asked myself once; what if modern and recent buildings get damaged? All the captured buildings in this series have been founded in the last few years. Unlike the usually clean and prestigious buildings, I have decided to depict them in quite a new and unexpected way.

My name is Muhammad Almasri, Chess Player and Award-Winning Photographer born and raised in Zarqa, Jordan. I always feel that time behind my camera lens is short, regardless of how much time I spend trying to capture the photos. Every time something draws my attention, I try to frame it in my vision, and then through my camera. I am interested in architecture and abstract photography, and sometimes in landscape since I started as a landscaper. I believe that we can mostly make art out of everything around us, only if we looked at it more than once and from different perspectives.
