Corinne Spector, I was born in 1961 in Morocco, but arrived in Israel at the age of nine months. I spent my childhood in Jaffa yet grew up in Bat Yam. I currently live in Sholam. I was always a storyteller; I am the eldest of six sisters, and I always invented and told them stories. My passion for photography was born a long time ago. It seems I always had a camera but I never really learned to take photos. I always documented my daily life, and that of my family, and with my camera, I wanted to tell stories.
Frans Kemper, I am a semi-retired corporate gypsy and a professional stranger. Born and raised in the lovely Amsterdam in The Netherlands and at present residing in São Paulo, Brazil. Before ending up in São Paulo in 2003, I lived and worked for around two decades in the Caribbean and the Unites States. I am also a passionate photographer since his early teenager years. A passion passed on by my father.
Juancho Dominguez, I am an amateur photographer and I live in Caracas, my activity is focused, at the moment, on street photography, trying to somehow reflect the pulse of my city, the coming and going of its people in the day to day, its light, its shadows, colours and in a way its architecture. I like the street because it is a world that changes every second. I do not claim anything else that I will give in life.
Lucas Inke, I was born in San Pablo, Brazil 35-years ago. I have lived in Rio de Janeiro, the "Wonderful City," for five years, where I started shooting more frequently. There I started with fashion photography and photo essays. Then I installed a studio in my apartment, which generated a lot of work. In my personal search, I began to photograph more everyday scenes on the street, which soon became a passion. I usually use a Canon T3i and fixed lenses such as 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and sometimes an ultra-wide 10-20mm lens. It is the art of constant observation, preferably trying to anticipate the critical moment, so that when this happens I have my finger ready for the decisive moment.
Michael Kennedy, is an American photographer, writer, and reconteur who lives in Seoul. Although photography has always been his passport into other worlds, he has also managed to write hundreds of love letters to several women with names that begin with “S”.
Pacho Coulchinsky, I'm not a professional photographer but an Architect who loves photography. When I was 4 years old I suffered a really bad accident and as a result I lost all the vision from my left eye. I do not remember what is like to have binocular vision and therefore both depth and full vision perception. Perhaps this is the reason why the action of looking and focusing was something that obsessed me from childhood, especially when facing a child’s fear that the possibility of being completely blind was always kind of lurking in there.
Rainer Neumann, My name is Rainer Neumann. I am married and live in Ludwigshafen / Germany. I was born 1960 in Rastatt / Germany. Went to school there until 1979. In 1979 I started my studies of „Tonmeister“ at the „Hochschule der Künste“ (today University of Music) in Berlin with the final exams in 1986. Since 1986 I am working as a Sound Engineer for the Südwestrundfunk (German Public Broadcast station) doing recordings of classical orchestral music. I came to photography in my early twenties but did never more than the usual holiday shootings. In 2016 Street Photography crossed my life and I fell in love with that genre of art.
René Stuardo, I have lived in Santiago de Chile (Chile) for 52-years - my entire life. I feel like a real Chilean, and I’ve established an intense relationship with my beloved country. I travel a lot and this makes me appreciate Chile more and more. My grandfather was a great photographer, and he was the one who gave me an analogue Yashica camera. And from a young age, he instilled in me the importance of light as a leitmotif in photography. I studied drawing and advertising photography, which was fundamental for me. I conceive Street Photography as the essential tool to capture life, reality; in short: the truth of life as we see it and it moves us when we see that we have achieved a good take.
Ximena Echagüe I grew up in Buenos Aires, became a photographer in Europe and I am now living between New York and Brussels. My life has influenced the way I look at the people around me. I have always lived in big cities with a large floating population, which naturally led me to empathize with them. We are all migrants in different ways, moving around trying to improve our lot in life. I try to capture this human dynamic in my photography, made of hopes fulfilled or shattered, with its drama and contradictions. The odyssey of human life.
and Sara Facio – (Born in Argentina in 1932) She is best known for having photographed, along with Alicia D'Amico, various cultural personalities, including Argentine writers Julio Cortázar, María Elena Walsh and Alejandra Pizarnik. Facio also was instrumental in establishing a publishing house for photographic work in Latin America and for the creation of a prominent photographic exhibition space in Argentina.
