My name is Claudio Ahlers, and I am a fine art and portrait photographer based in Bristol, UK. In my practise, I am interested in exploring emotional landscapes and states of mind through considered portraiture and artful photographs of the human body as an expression of our innermost workings.
Photography as a medium traditionally records a single point in space at a particular point in time. With this project I aim to subvert this idea to produce images which record a journey through the landscape over an extended period of time.
Since my childhood, I have been interested in photography. When I was young, around four years old, I often looked at my family photo albums.
Sometimes I chase myself, putting myself in my thousand knots. Threads that wrap me up and turn into black and desolate veins. Eyes that brush against me and whisper words to me that I have never told myself. I run, I run without ever falling, almost flying, and I see my naked body covered with a blanket that you gave me so long ago. The contrast is now solved. Everything is visible. I was born in a cloud above the distant hill.
Reminiscing about the past is a work made with polaroid instant film. To Axelle Van Meel, a memory is a subjective thing. A memory is a reflection of how we experienced a certain event. It’s subjective and varies since everyone looks at the world differently.
This series of images, entitled “ODYSSEY”, is the result of my trips through a fragile planet and comprises some of the latest additions to my series of photographs concerning the environment and the allure of the delicate balance and insight into life that Nature provides.

I took these pictures while I was travelling to Rome and Berlin during the post-pandemic time in the summer of 2020.
Days of Winter is a journey along a body that aims to examine skin through the nudity of certain shapes. I have conceived that journey as a search from the whole to the part, from a perspective of the entire body to a glance of fragments of such a body, from representation to abstraction.
The photos Notturni, dialoghi tra luce ed oscurità were all taken between 2020 and 2021. Night and darkness are synonymous with ending, interruption and absence, especially in a period of uncertainty like this. To visualize these atmospheres, I decided to create a dialogue between the lights and the darkness of the night.
Petra Jaenicke is an experimental photo artist. After her photography studies in Germany, she worked in the field of art direction and photography.
The project Light Interiors links past and present and attempts to capture the ephemeral prose and poetry of people’s lives. Working with the physical characteristics of light, the way it is distributed through doors, windows and openings offers an opportunity to be read and interpreted as signs.
My art explores Time, Space, Light and Form in photography. By playing with the dimensional qualities of the photographic surface and opening up visual depth to the viewer, my work asks questions about what is being seen, how things might appear and how we negotiate, interpret and give meaning.
These photos have been created digitally as part of a film I made called ‘The Little Ones’. It is a rich mythology following two best friends on a journey through the elements to the land of the dead.
"We are a way for the universe to know itself. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff." My images are created with NASA imagery taken from space, composited with self-portraits, and merged as if it is a part of what surrounds us.
Endogenesis: /Ɛndə(Ʊ)ˈdʒɛnꞮSꞮS/: Growth from within the idea of a human being trapped by their own feelings, thoughts, ideas, phobias, sentiments, and weaknesses, and how to break out of this circle of oppression or depression was the point of reference for this work.
I investigate the intersections of place and self by developing cameraless photograms that transform found organic materials into personal narratives. I create photograms outside in rural settings in a custom-designed light-proof darkroom tent. I begin each photogram by arranging found items directly onto a piece of photosensitive silver paper, creating the initial composition.
Light can only be fully appreciated when it is among the darkness. I find this true about life as well as art. The contrast of values, the beauty of the glow against the deep black shadows. It is my aim to convey a sense of hope in dark times, using both literal and conceptual elements. My emotional and spiritual journey is expressed through my photography.
Do we live in a simulation? Multi exposure technique on 3D models from computer games.
I conceived this project during a trip to Porto Maurizio, a characteristic Ligurian village located in Italy. Among several genres of photography, I love architecture, minimalism and street photography, and after spending some days in this typical Ligurian village, I was fascinated by the multiple minimalist insights and street impressions one can have here.
For millions of years, all humans, from the early age and modern alike, had to find their means of subsistence. It was just in the past 12,000 years that our species, Homo sapiens, found they could control the growth and breeding of certain plants and animals.
Elli started This project, Night Light in Uppsala, in November 2021 during the shortest days in Sweden. Fortunately, festivals are held in Uppsala every year, like "All light in Uppsala".
I am a symbolic literary photographer and a visual storyteller: pure and poetic with much attention to detail. Sometimes I'm balancing between realism and surrealism, often spiced with a touch of humour. My photos are spontaneous, not staged. I'm always focused on the decisive or unguarded moment. I shoot with my soul, not with the camera. I photograph as I live. I let things come to me, and I don't consciously look for them.

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.

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.
