Global Connection

Issue nr. 4 2025

In Issue #4 2025 of Artdoc Magazine, Global Connection, we explore photography as a bridge across borders, cultures, and lived experiences. The stories gathered here invite us to witness both beauty and struggle: images of migrating families, intimacy and loss, communities reclaiming identity, and the challenges of climate change. These photographs do more than document — they connect us, urging reflection on the threads that bind humanity in a fractured world. Through art and critical storytelling, Global Connection offers perspectives on urgent social issues alongside glimpses of resilience, dignity, and shared hope. Photography here is not only a witness but a thread — weaving together our shared humanity and reminding us that every story of struggle or hope belongs to the same fabric of connection.‍Featured: Nick Brandt, Nicola Lo Calzo, Oscar Villeda, Natalie Karpushenko, Carolina Ludwig Agudelo, Galina Semenova, Madina Baymirzaeva, Pavlo Fyshar, Andrew Califf, Marta Stoyanova, Xenia Chetrar, Madalena Georgatou, and Tracy Longley-Cook‍

We Are Humanity

Issue nr. 3 2025

In Artdoc Issue #3, 2025, We Are Humanity, we showcase the visual translation of the contemporary state of human life on Earth in these uncertain times. We inhabit an era of remarkable technological achievement, yet beneath the surface, the world aches. Inequality widens as some flourish while others struggle to survive. Wars displace millions, and social tensions challenge countless lives. Humanity treads a fragile path, but ultimately, we can deeply feel that we all share the same roots of human existence: we are humanity. We bring portfolios of Adam Docker, Cristian Barnett and Sakir Khader. We feature Andrej Verzola, Anemona Knut, Ingrid Koedood, and Tomislav Marcijuš. In Inspiration, we present more human stories, and we show highlights of the exhibition Echoes of Being.

The Meditative Lens

Issue nr. 2 2025

In Artdoc Issue #2, 2025, The Meditative Lens, we present artistic photographs that emerge from a deeper resonance with natural surroundings. At a time when we are overwhelmed by fast images and the world is moving at a relentless speed, while anxiety and fear impact us deeply, serene images of tranquillity, created with mindful attention, invite us to regain our much-needed peace of mind. In this issue, we have selected strong and captivating images from the overwhelming number of fantastic submissions received from engaging photographers worldwide. They all practise mindful photography, the act of creating images shaped by awareness. This practice invites the viewer to pause and contemplate life today in all its forms and manifestations, much like Zen meditation. Featured Artists: Aya Okawa, Eckart Bartnik, Viet Ha Tran, Wlad Gustynowicz, Alejandra Nowiczewski, Justin Pumfrey, Kostis Argyriadis, Luca Ortis, Samuele Quaranta, Ulrike Pichl, Geralda Odinot, Sonja Priller, and John Riddy.

Beyond the Frame

Issue nr. 1 2025

In Artdoc Issue #1, 2025, Beyond the Frame: Picturing Artistic Narratives, we explore photographic storytelling through innovative and imaginative frames. The traditional frame of the classical photograph has always imposed boundaries on expression and meaning. Today, photographers are experimenting with techniques that challenge these constraints, bending reality and suggesting narratives that extend beyond the frame. In this issue, we invite you to appreciate the beauty of photography and engage with its deeper cultural significance—whether beyond or within the frame. Photography not only informs us but also serves as a counterbalance to the absurdities of daily life. Featured Artists: Juan Brenner, Thom Pierce, Linda Plaisted, Natalia Rudychev, Noru Innes, Caroline Sohie, Dan Ramaën, Monique Belier, Rachele Gabrielli, Chelle Wallace, Dominique Philippe Bonnet, Irina Cheremisina, and Sander Vos.

Life Today

Issue nr. 6 2024

In Artdoc Issue #6, 2024, Life Today, we present a broad collection of photographs portraying various aspects of our everyday lives. Life Today highlights the idea that all photographs inherently reflect the era in which we live. This issue captures the rhythms, connections, and stories that define our contemporary world. From natural landscapes to the intimacy of human relationships, and from everyday moments to abstract expressions, these photographs reveal our lives today. This issue features interviews with Richard Sharum and Mauro Curti and highlights the work of Diana Markosian, Emma Godfrey Pigott, Ludovica Limido, Mariet Dingemans, Cosimo Campagna, Hanne Jones Solfjeld, Giuseppe Satriani, Pieter Jan Boterhoek, Samara Meyer, and Olena Morozova.

The Unobserved

Issue nr. 5 2024

This Artdoc Magazine Issue #5, 2024, The Unobserved, showcases projects that focus on the often-overlooked details of daily life, capturing moments and scenes that typically escape our attention. Images of ordinary settings reveal the beauty, enigma, and significance within the everyday. By capturing these unnoticed aspects, the artists invite viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle rhythms and life patterns that go unobserved. This issue features interviews with Alba Yruela, Francesco Neri, and J H Engström, and highlights Yiming Zhu, Olga Zaverzhenets, Maria Semmer, Kaytlin Schmidt, Jerzy Wierzbicki, Elisabeth Sanders, Ole Marius Joergensen, Shijia Song, Paula Bardi, and Shannon O'Connor.

Expressive Nature

Issue nr. 4 2024

The Expressive Nature issue of Artdoc Photography Magazine showcases images of nature's beauty with underlying messages of humans' inner struggles. Hidden inside their visual expressions of nature, artists ask the fundamental question of who we are as humans. Photographers visualise this confronting contrast of nature’s strength and humanity’s fragility with enigmatic images, inviting the spectators to imagine their humble place in the world. This issue features interviews with Nadia Attura, Sandra Kantanen, and Alfredo de Stefano and highlights Ann Zhulan, Francisco Gonzales Camacho, Julia Casesnoves, Ludwig Spaude, Viet Ha Tran, Aya Okawa, Ekaterina Mikryukova, Florian Coëlo, Leonardo Bocci, and Maddy Loucas.

Invisible Threads

Issue nr. 3 2024

This issue of Artdoc Magazine, Invisible Threads, delves into the profound concept of our emotional and psychological connections with our past, countries, and families, as well as our shared beliefs and backgrounds. These invisible threads weave universal connections between people worldwide. Lee-Ann Olwage's work gravitates around gender and identity, and she touches upon the issue of dementia. Parisa Azadi returned to her homeland and found private moments of inner emotions reflecting the country’s challenging times. Danila Tkachenko photographed Ukrainian refugees before tourist landmarks in Europe against backdrops showing the devastation of their country.

Human Narratives

Issue nr. 2 2024

In Artdoc Photography Magazine Issue #2 2024 Human Narratives, we let you delve into photography's capacity to narrate the universal human condition. Artdoc Magazine invites you to explore human narratives and the emotions they evoke. We showcase images by photographers worldwide, conveying intimate stories of human experiences. These images speak to our shared experiences and feelings. We highlight the art of photography that recognises the universal stories that connect us all.

Creative Photography

Issue nr. 1 2024

In this Artdoc Photography Magazine issue #1 2024, Creative Photography, we bring photographic art that explores innovative approaches, showing the world in a new light. We interviewed two photographic artists who use light and beauty to elevate us beyond chaos and tension: Isabelle Menin and Christy Lee Rogers. Also, we bring the artist duo Lori Nix & Kathleen Gerber, who created dioramas with apocalyptic scenes. See also the many gifted artists experimenting with various photographic processes, like stitching prints, alienating hyperrealism, photographic distortion, photocollages, and high-voltage techniques.

The Personal Lens

Issue nr. 6 2023

In this Artdoc Magazine issue 6 2023, The Personal Lens, we highlight artists who show the world through a subjective lens. The art of photography is the art of a personal lens, addressing the complexities of our existence—photographers of flesh and blood, with emotions and empathy for the world around them. Featured in this issue are Jose Ibarra Rizo, Oli Kellett, and Fumi Nagasaka. We proudly show the talented photographers Daniel Staveley, Mariëtte Aernoudts, Arrayah Loynd, Jiatong Lu, Joana Dionísio, Lisa Murray, Jia Hao, Maartje Martisan, Jakob Eckstein, Rianne Tegelaar, and Lingxue Hao.

Healing Nature

Issue nr. 5 2023

Nature possesses an innate and profound healing power. The serene rustle of leaves in a forest, the gentle lapping of waves along a shore, and the vibrant hues of wildflowers can soothe the human soul. The beauty of natural landscapes has always been seen and captured by painters and photographers. In this issue 5, 2023 Healing Nature, of Artdoc Magazine, we highlight gifted artists who show their specific relation to the healing powers of nature. They made images that not only depict natural landscapes but also enter into the spiritual energy of nature. We humans need healing from the many wounds of modern life. And thankfully, the art of photography has a soothing and consoling quality. Featured in issue 5 2023, Healing Nature: Marc Wilson, Jason DeMarte, Ara Oshagan, Christine Simpson, Jennifer Graham, Jaume Llorens i Bach, Joel Simpson, Julia Casesnoves, Alessio Pellicoro, Debora Lombardi, Yuliana Paranko, Tommaso Moni, and Ellen Jantzen.

Mindful Photography

Learn the Art of Meditative Photography

In the Mindful Photography e-guide, the act of photographing becomes something more than visual — it becomes a form of attention. A quiet dialogue between self and subject, between presence and perception. This guide is not a manual of techniques. It is a carefully composed invitation to pause, breathe, and create from within stillness. What does it mean to look with awareness? What happens when we stop chasing images and allow the world to approach us instead? At its core lies a simple yet transformative idea: that photography can be a meditative act — one that does not rush toward outcome, but unfolds from awareness. Experience what it means to practise photography with presence.

How to read images

Learn how to read photographs as a visual language

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.

How to create a photo project

Create a meaningful story as a photo project

Each photograph within the series works together to convey a compelling story. By approaching your photo series with the same care and intention as you would a written story, you can create a powerful visual narrative. Unlock the secrets to creating captivating photo projects with our comprehensive guide. Start creating your unique photo project today. In this guide, you will learn to develop a distinctive and personal visual language that sets your work apart. Learn how to select and refine subjects that form the foundation of your photo projects, and you will master the art of constructing a cohesive and compelling photo series that tells a powerful story.
