America's Girls
Eva Verbeeck
As a young European woman, I was always idealized in the iconic culture of the United States. Living here now I see things in a more nuanced way. As a photographer I am interested in the role women play in this ionic narrative of American society and wanted to investigate how young women are sexualized and stereotyped every day in various ways.
I chose to photograph cheerleaders because they often represent the American beauty in pop culture. Cheerleading originated in the United States where it remains predominantly. American pop culture firmly established the cheerleader as an American icon of sex appeal and the classical stereotype of the American beauty. From a young age, girls are obliged to wear makeup and pose suggestively. In this series I want to investigate and challenge this beauty stereotype.
I want to show the vulnerable side of these young women. The girls in these portraits are between 5 and 13 years old. I am interested in adolescence as a fleeting and transitional stage. Young girls seem to go to an incredibly rapid change in their teens, being a child to becoming an adult seems to occur overnight.

The day that might bring a change
LGBT protest: Netanyahu Homophobe!
Hundreds of members of the community demonstrated outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem and in the streets of Tel Aviv, protesting the clause in the surrogacy law that excludes individual men. They attacked Netanyahu and called on ministers Bennett and Lizman to resign. On Sunday: a general strike of the community.

Shadows in the Light

'Shadows in the Light' is a compilation of places around the city of Los Angeles that many people overlook because they see it every day. Not being from the city, I wanted to capture the beauty and uniqueness of Los Angeles while still showing curiosity. Shadows interest me a lot and they almost bend the way you see something, so to capture it in the right moment makes for a very interesting photograph.

Invisible Power
Tomáš Vrana
The photographs are outcomes of efforts exerted by the Roma Women's group Manushe. Its members sought to express in a simple manner their virtues, but also the imperfections which everyone has. For them, the Roma women, however, this series has yet another meaning. Awareness of the fact through this invisible power they can also influence and change the processes within their own communities. Manushe, the Roma Women's group, was set up as early as in 2000 under the Slovo 21 non-profit organisation and has more than 200 members, men and women.

The Irish Travellers are the marginilized community in Ireland. Also known as Gypsies they are traditional, gender-based, with strong love of family, lifelong bonds and God. Research states there is 81% domestic violence and the women commit suicide 6% higher then others in Ireland. In 2017 the Republic of Irleand acknowleged them as an ethnic culture but they still are denied basic human rights. I"m trying to bring attention to this.

My photograph may be yours indeed, In framing and tone,
If in its composition you can read, A music of your own;
If in its pale woof you can weave, Your lovelier design,
Then my dear friend, It is more yours than mine.
I’m but a prompter at the best; Crude cues are all I give.
In simple stanzas I suggest – It is you who make them live.
Yours is the beauty that you see, In any photograph I take;
The magic and the melody, It is you, dear friend, who make.
Yea, by the glory and the gleam, The loveliness that lures
Your thought to starry heights of dream,
The photograph’s yours.

The Irish Travellers are the marginalized community in Ireland. Known as Gypsies they are traditional and gender- based, with strong ties to family, lifelong bonds and God. Most live lives of hardship and poverty. Living in caravans with large families, lacking electricity and water, in encampments of overgrown weeds and garbage, rodents everywhere. Recently accepted as an Ethnic culture by the Republic of Ireland they still are denied basic human rights. This makes it difficult to get ahead in life. Trying to bring attention to these beautiful people.

New Landscapes

By applying my ethos as a portrait photographer to my landscape work, I introduce emotion into static landscape, capturing surreality within the ordinary. I’m interested in the beauty that lies within the mundane — the poetry within a quiet town. ‘New Landscapes' is a glimpse into everyman's America.

I travelled to the Guilin region of China on a photographic tour, and tried to capture the culture, mood and beauty of this magnificent region of China. In an endeavour to travel light all of the photographs were taken on a Nikon D800 camera with a Nikkor 50mm lens, and most of the landscape shots were stitched together in Lightroom or Photoshop.

20:20 Vision

’20:20 Vision’ is a fashion and illustrative series that captures the future of fashion explained and enhanced by visions of technological advancements of the near-future. Assisted with bright colours and metallic accents, I have created a vivid capture of the next generation, that is sci-fi and fantasy orientated. The rave-party / festival wear featured in the series will be a continued comment on the odd and intriguing aesthetic of the technological advancements and the direction
that fashion itself is going in.

This is a Photographic Dream Journal
Margo Reed
An Experiment. I live, work, and dream to communicate and spread human emotions in hopes that we may be able to break down some of the non-physical barriers (culture, sex, religion, wealth, race, politics) in what many see as a three-dimensional world.
Why do I meet my ex-lovers, dead friends and unpreventable fates in a time and place where I can handle it all– my dreams? Every night they show me an extension of physical life, a collection of incomprehensible experiences that may mean more than I know. Now I’m photographing what I believe to be another universal dimension, and a place that I believe each of us keep for oneself– perception and emotion.
In following posts, you will find photographic representations of my overnight experiences. This is a dream journal and an artistic experiment, which focuses on channeling the sights I saw and things I felt while I was asleep in hopes that you will feel it too.
I am an artist, a photographer, a communicator. If my project works I could be able to prove to myself that though we all perceive the physical world differently, humans share a universal set emotions. Only then might I have a chance to break some of the non-physical barriers in our perceivable world.

Meeting History

In December 2016 I had the pleasure to create portraits of WW II veterans and Holocaust survivors. All but one of the subjects has passed away. In addition to shooting these heroes, I also documented places of WWII (death camps in Poland) and tools of WWII (vintage aircraft frpm the US Army Air Corp.) to create my project "Meeting History: People, Places, and Artifacts of WWII."

Through the Microscope

Through the Microscope: Making the Macro Micro is a project that examines the macro in a new light by highlighting the micro in the world. Viewing objects on a microscopic level made me reevaluate the question of: how does she see the world? Jessica made the project even more personal by capturing objects that are an integral part of her day to-day world, and as such, her project is an autobiography that defines her existence from her childhood to who she is today.
