Nicola Ducati – Steel Life

We are in northern India. The Pakistani border overlooking the Arabian Sea. Entering these factories is not easy, through some people well integrated into the social context, friends of friends who get us a permit to visit these huge sheds with frightening heat. We are embraced by fields of still smoking steel, deafening noises and 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

Sara Bardotti – Nenet

In the language of Nenet people,Yamal means the end of the world.It is a remote,windy place covered with permagelo, frozen lakes and rivers,dwarf shrubs and infrastructure built for gas extraction. Yes,the homeland of the Nenet, nomadic reindeer herders and fishermen for over a thousand years, has been threatened by land exploitation as well as the Continue Reading

Andrea Peruzzi – Waiting for Dalai Lama

This story is not a photographic project designed at the table, but it represents what I like most.. that is traveling and documenting real situations and the people I meet, in a spontaneous way. Last summer I rented a motorbike and traveled through the valleys and villages of the Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh. By Continue Reading

Suryene Ramaget – Kushti

Kushti is an ancient Indian struggle. Young children, often from poor families, or saved from street life, are absorbed into the gymnasium-monastery school called akhara already at an early age starting a path of hard physical and mental training. The rigorous training is combined with the fundamental religious rules that educate the boys, including no 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

Corrada Onorifico -The infinite Silence of Mongolian steppe.

Mongolia, a country five times the size of Italy, which has about three million inhabitants, half of whom reside in the capital; the remaining part is divided between the inhabitants of small urban centers consisting of a few wooden houses and a few shops, and those who live in the endless spaces of the prairies; 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

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

Soumayan Biswas – Salt Worker

Long before the advent of British rule in Bengal, the salt industry was developed in its coastal belt stretching over about 700 mile.The prominent places of production were Tamlook and Hijli in the Midnapore district, the Sunderbans in the 24 Parganas, and Noakhali and Chittagong in the present-day Bangladesh.During the Mughal period, the salt merchants Continue Reading
