In issue #1 2020, we bring photographers for whom the image is a way of expressing the provocative, abrasive and inquisitive relationship with the world. The Norwegian Ole Marius Joergensen made Hopper like scenes, depicting his melancholic feeling of never arriving at the goal. The Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf uses photography as a medium to tell stories that connect his inner life with the world around him. His cinematic images, representing emotions of modern times, are aesthetic and confronting at the same time. In Photo Culture we bring an introduction to the semiology of photography, the theory that analyses the often-hidden way in which images communicate. And our online exhibition Beyond Aesthetics shows the vision on beauty of ten experimental photographers.
In Artdoc Photo Magazine Issue #2 2020, we bring a mix of photography about our complex relationship with nature. Wendi Schneider and Ali Shokri bring a homage to the trees. Naohiro Ninomiya and Jennifer Graham show poetic and layered photos of nature and birds. As a special feature, you can read what Sebastião Salgado says about his magnum opus Genesis. In our group exhibition, the Japanese Garden we bring photographers around the theme of reflection and tranquillity of nature. You can also read about the theory of the photograph as a metaphor, based on the theory of Minor White.

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.
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.

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.
