Mari Barrela, Husni Munir, Hug Honeyman

Kuntal Biswas, Miguel Angel Franco Dana, Anne Launcelott

After the ProgresFestival break, we chose images that all tell a story, in color and black and white.

Pascal Perez & Dzung Viet Le

Two images that have something special in their 'normality'. Look at their hands, how much tenderness they transmit. And the expression of the child, so intent and at the same time absent ... all absorbed in his travel dreams.

Both tell something, make us imagine, are full of details ... and the colours have been treated in the right way

Husni Munir Niklas Lindskog

Victor Borst Keef Charles

I chose these four images letting myself be guided by a magical connection.

I will not tell you which one I started with or how this connection was created.

They are all very significant

Seth Crosland

This image is exceptional, a different street: a whole novel could start and end in this shot.

A gritty b/w, that allows you to immerse yourself in a fantasy world.

Monday 08.29.22

Irina Escoffery

The first thing that strikes you about this week’s choice is the unusual point of view: it makes you feel it’s viewed as if by a dog or cat, who knows how to see the world better than us.

A happy woman and a poor old man. The woman, presumably a bride, is wearing a light coloured dress, perhaps just for photography (a shoot?) and is smiling; the man is dressed in heavy clothes and is under a blanket. Between his feet a bottle (beer?) and a cigarette and a cell phone in his hand.

An image that shows us the incongruity and crudeness of our society.

Santanu Dey

I fell in love with this image at first sight.

It plunges you into a surrealist fairytale: the man with the umbrella, the cow as the protagonist. I heard her speak!

The composition is theatrical and it almost seems to be able to guess the curtain that encloses it. In short, a magical image

George Koulouridis

When I saw this image I immediately thought of a classic of cinema noir: The Night of the Hunter.

Was it the quality of the image (light and black and white) that made me remember the talent of the cinematographer, Stanley Cortez? The mysteries of the human mind.

We can read this image in a thousand ways, but it remains disturbing. And it suggests a simpler and more imaginative past.

Gabi Ben Avraham

A stunning zac, beautiful chiaroscuro and colours.

Man and dog together but intersected by the red diagonal of the car roof, which adds a little intrigue.

Monday 08.01.22

Jay Tanen

This week Keef Charles chose this shot by Jay Tanen: “It seems like an ordinary everyday scene but speaks volumes about family life, how they are together but apart. Clever storytelling.”

Monday 07.25.22

Gerri McLaughlin & Dov Oron

This week I’ve chosen two images that show the opposite extremes of life.

A thoughtful little girl, who perhaps wonders about her future, and an old man who perhaps remembers his past. Two beautiful b/w.

Both examples of a society sick with consumerism, a world too lonely.

Monday 07.18.22

James Payne

This image belongs to a beautiful 3D project that started in the Seventies.

It is made more interesting by the position of the woman, seeming to indicate an ambivalent mood as if modesty had prevailed over the satisfaction of having attracted someone's attention.

Monday 07.11.22

Lil Steinberg

An image that speaks for itself.

The feeling of abandonment is palpable, it’s so strong.

It might just be a simple story, a short goodbye, but for a moment it made us think of historical events that we hope will never happen again.

Monday 07.04.22

Edita Sabalionyte & John St

Two images with the same oblique luminous line.

The same mood: one man waiting, immersed in a pool of vivid colours, the other emerging from a contrasting black and white. It could be a dream or a nightmare.

How many stories can you imagine?

Monday 06.27.22

Tali Nevo

What is obviously remarkable about this photo is the POV. The protagonists would seem to be the spectator's hands and pool balls. But the child playing with his father impressed me, reminding me that my father taught me to play.

There is complicity in this image, a moment of life, a memory, immortalised in a beautiful way.

Monday 06.20.22

Wilfried Gebhard & Lyn Hollenbeck

This week I have chosen two black and white images that fit perfectly into the theme chosen for the challenge we have just started and for our ProgressFestival: Solitudes

Two people no longer young, who face their day.

The first is a simple, but very communicative and really well done image, like in a Éric Rohmer’s story

The second has a nice contrast to the white background and the character looks like something out of a spy movie.

Monday 06.13.22

Anne Launcelott & P-o Alfredsson

Two beautiful color portraits, one part of a documentary project, the other candid.

Both, however, reveal the personality of the protagonists, the first an introvert, the other an extrovert.

Monday 06.06.22

John Gill & Niklas Lindskog

Black and white and colour: two different worlds and two different generations.

But both of them lost in their thoughts

Monday 30.05.22

Keef Charles

I know, a photo of Keef's has just received the week, but this black and white is so perfect and the mood so precise, it was too compelling to ignore... Enjoy it!

Monday 23.05.22

Keef Charles & Simone Christina Sander

Pacho Coulchinsky & Bruno Lavi

Tuna Angel & Ofitser Sergii

Corinne Spector & Donna Marchese Kross

This week we wanted to overdo it, struck by some really meaningful still life images.

Knowing how to see is really important. And knowing how to see reflections is even more difficult.

Four fake worlds against real life.

But these four images are also very special. They are four very private moments captured in public.

Monday 16.05.22

Geert Verstrepen & Pascal Colin & Nadia Eeckhout

Three different female figures, three particular moments, three solitudes, and three different stories.

The first suggests images of a working woman by Van Gogh, the second rushes you into a film of the French Nouvelle Vague, the third is a modern Vermeer

Monday 09.05.22

Trevor Gwin & John St

Two images, outside and inside: a hand on the face, a wandering gaze.

The first is a classic image. The second is more mysterious.

Both well composed, and evocative, you can almost hear and smell the street but at the same time, they are beautiful.

Monday 02.05.22

João Coelho & Jacques Pharand

Karl J Zeller & Anne Launcelott

Takashi Tachi

This week I chose some images that have a common denominator: they speak to us about our societies and our relationships and above all they give cause to reflect.

Poverty with love, poverty with indifference, poverty with a dog as a friend, ease with dog as friend.

I chose the final, conceptual image as the conclusion of the reflection: the void.
