Chiara Felmini – Papua

Papua New Guinea is a peninsula of Oceania located on the island of Papua, a large island shared with Indonesia. It is the second island in the world: only Greenland is bigger. The shape and type of structure of the island, together with the simple technology of the inhabitants, explain why it contains such a Continue Reading

Francesco Merella – Coptic Christian Rites – Ethiopia

During one of the last trips to Ethiopia returning from Gondar to Lake Tana, after about an hour’s drive my guide, Ashennafi Demoz, proposed me to attend the Coptic baptism which, at the foot of the sacred waterfall of Addis Zemen, was practiced by some friars of the nearby convent of Toragedam. After a fairly Continue Reading

Marco Lapini – DIARIO DE RUA LUSITANO

I traveled 22 days on the road from north to south of Portugal, touching the coast, the cities, the most authentic and least known areas of the interior of the country. From populated and bustling neighborhoods, to small fishing villages, to beaches, to the religious silence of Fatima. Backpack and camera with one goal: to Continue Reading

Jacopo Della Valle – Waterworld

For almost 10 years I have been traveling the world in search of all those little-known ethnic populations and minorities, often invisible to our society, who still survive globalization trying to keep alive their characteristic ancestral traditions. Off the coast of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia live the Bajau, indigenous peoples, nomads and stateless people Continue Reading

Maurizio Gjivovich – Istanbul old town

This work carried out mainly during the last municipal elections in Istanbul in 2019 follows a simple search, what the street could give me. They are images that portray everyday life, follow the light of the ideas of the great master Ara Güle, see and interpret Istanbul still with that spirit. The work began in Continue Reading

Sara Castagnasso – Transiberiana

The first time I heard about the Trans-Siberian I had to be little more than a child, maybe a teenager, because the desire to make this journey is something that has always accompanied me. Growing up, I told myself that, one day, I would actually do it. Life, destiny or who knows who, then put Continue Reading

Sergio Volani – Cambogia

A country a bit left aside in the past years, perhaps because of its tragic and fairly recent vicissitudes, Cambodia is a fascinating jewel rich in history for a traveler and even more for a photographer. Not only the famous site of Angkor Wat, one of the most visited destinations in the world, remained hidden Continue Reading

Tina Salipante – Mare Fecunditatis

“I went back there,Where I had never been.Nothing, as it was not, has changed.”Giorgio Caproni Life and death appear to me as a single function that cancels itself in its beginning, almost a still movement, a failed act in the fall of time where the forms of existence transmute into silence, dissolve the contours of Continue Reading

Yuliy Vasilev – EFIAP winner series

from the 10th International Plovdiv Photo Salon the best author selected “Travel is an essential part of my life. I have been very keen on travelling since a young age, and graduating geography in high school helped me a lot to develop a passion for discovering new places and cultures. As a holder of a Continue Reading

Sara Aliscioni – the tailors

The Tailors series was born from my personal photographic research of the trades in the largest city of Morocco, Casablanca. Made immortal by the cult film of the same name, the economic capital is the business destination for excellence. Using petit taxis as a means of transport, or old red cars driven by private individuals Continue Reading
