Storm is increasingly the default setting for our lives. It is as if the next environmental, medical, social or political calamity is mere moments away. Of course, Storm is the dramatic expression of natures wild side, yet it is also the defining characteristic of our age. We are constantly reminded that the precious ecosystems of our fragile planet are under threat as never before. At the same time our social and political systems are fracturing - in the famously prophetic words of W.B. Yeats the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Against all of this there are ripples of discontent that could still turn into a storm powerful enough to provoke the kinds of change necessary to save us all.The Prix Pictet is the worlds leading award for photography and sustainability. It was founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw global attention to critical environmental issues. To date, there have been eleven cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability. For each cycle, a book is published showcasing the work of the shortlisted photographers as well as powerful images produced by a selection of the other nominated photographers.

Una celebración de la intuición, la creatividad y el valor de la fotografía en el mundo dominado por la inmediatez.La fotografía lleva años inmersa en una transformación que se ha visto acelerada por la IA. Pero mas alla de revoluciones y tendencias, lo que sigue definiendola es la mirada humana. ¿Es la fotografia analogica un capricho nostalgico? ¿Que valores puede aportar al presente digital y algoritmico? ¿Podriamos acercarnos al formato digital con la intencionalidad y la paciencia que propiciaban el carrete y el revelado quimico?Mendez reflexiona sobre el acto fisico de fotografiar, la vocacion y el freelancismo en este alegato sobre la intuicion y el placer de crear frente a la sobreabundancia.

As a dedicated photographer, I aim to capture the worlds beauty with sensitivity. Whether through serene landscapes or vibrant street scenes, I seek to foreground human connection. My artistic perspective is profoundly shaped by a theme that holds deep personal significance: hope. I believe that as long as life endures, there is always an open door. In a world frequently overshadowed by sorrow and uncertainty, I strive to emphasize what is gentler, brighter, and filled with promise. Through both my photography and poetry, I seek to convey a deeply held conviction : we must persist in believing in the possibility of a better tomorrow.

In this series of linked pieces, Collins offers a reappraisal of photographic genres including the humble and ubiquitous that he believes are worthy of greater understanding. From restoring abandoned photos, whose subjects are lost to time, to a quotidian history of the studio portrait; from tracing the origins of the photographic survey within the wider field of the history of art to an experiment in portraiture using gorillas, Collins reveals what it is about photography that is so enduringly fascinating.

Als Oberes Mittelrheintal wird der Rheinabschnitt zwischen Bingen und Koblenz bezeichnet, der 2002 durch die UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe ernannt wurde. Charakteristisch fur diese Region sind die steil ansteigenden Talflanken links und rechts des Rheins, der in zahlreichen Schleifen durch das Tal in Richtung Norden stromt. Hier haben sich schon vor langer Zeit viele Siedlungen, die heutigen Ortschaften und Stadte, gebildet, die Zeuge der Schonheit und Attraktivitat dieser Region fur den Menschen in der Vergangenheit und heute sind. Der Rhein, die zahlreichen Ortschaften, die sich eng an die Talhange schmiegen, und der in den Hangen angebaute Wein geben dieser Landschaft einen einzigartigen Charakter. Daruber hinaus findet man speziell in diesem Abschnitt des Rheins etwas ganz Besonderes: eine groe Zahl an Burgen und Schlossern,die entlang des oberen Mittelrheintals im Laufe der Jahrhunderte errichtet wurden und einen groen Anteil an der Romantik haben, die diese Flusslandschaft noch heute ausstrahlt. Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert wurde das Obere Mittelrheintal sogar zum Inbegriff der Rheinromantik. Diese Romantik lasst sich nicht nur am Tag, sondern insbesondere dann erleben, wenn die Sonne bereits untergegangen ist. Dann erstrahlen die Burgen hoch im Hang in schonen, warmen Farben und leuchten weit sichtbar. Dieser Bildband versucht, diesen besonderen Lichterzauber in Bildern einzufangen, um die Schonheit und Romantik dieser einzigartigen Landschaft zu zeigen. Neben den Bildern enthalt der Bildband auch Informationen zur Geschichte der einzelnen Bauten. Eine Ubersichtskarte zusammen mit einer Detailkarte fur jede Sehenswurdigkeit zeigt, wo genau man sie findet. Jetzt in neuem handlichem 17x17cm Format gedruckt auf 200g Fotopapier fur besonders stimmungsvolle Farben.
