Mauro Brienza – Kyrgyzstan

A pristine landscape accessible only in the warmer months, asleep under meters of snow for the rest of the year. Life in the steppe flows slowly; A hard existence, unchanged for centuries, of men and animals together. Here the nomads open the doors of their yurts and welcome the traveler who is passing through these 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

Roberto Manfredi – once upon a time there was a sea

In recent decades, a huge environmental disaster has taken place, almost unknown, but perhaps the most serious; serious because  widely foreseen since 1964 by specially commissioned studies and yet consciously pursued. The Aral was a large salt lake, almost three times the size of Sicily. So big that it is called “sea”, the Aral Sea. 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

Roberto Malagoli – Mauritania

Memories make noise: sounds, voices of travelers, children’s laughter, winds, which in the desert are breathed (or amalgamated with) with the sand and on the coasts become pleasant breezes. The mobile gaze wants to immortalize everything: slightly jagged horizons, bushes of tiring green, soft dunes that divide the space with the liquid blue, devoured by Continue Reading

Robertino Radovix – Wakhan paradise in danger

The Wakhan corridor is an impervious strip of land that extends into the northeastern part of Afghanistan; area among the most remote in the world, it was crossed by Alexander the Great in 327, by Marco Polo in 1271 and by Genghis Khan in the thirteenth century: branch of the ancient Silk Road, it was 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

Maurizio Gjivovich – Srilanka

The indelible marks of the Tzunami of 2004 and the bloody civil war in Srilaka that ended on May 18, 2008, destroyed this land and its new future has since begun. I decided to travel a few years from the northwest coast of Jaffna to the south coast in wiligama passing through the great hills Continue Reading

Nicola Ducati – My Red Pamir

Traveling to remote places I realized that beauty is everywhere and is found in the diversity of people. Their uniqueness makes humanity special. This awareness and the need to preserve our roots together with our planet should guide our every gesture, our every thought, our every choice. Kyrgyz women live in the dust of high-altitude Continue Reading

Sergio Bertolotti – Gujarat

Crossing Gujarat by car is a singular and unexpected experience, You travel on a single wide road, a clear line between cultivated fields, farmers at work, shepherds with herds of cows and flocks of goats and sheep, until you reach small villages where daily gestures -beyond time- gain the scene. Deviating from the most beaten Continue Reading
