DAVIDE SANTANGELO I am a photographer and cultural practitioner working at the intersection of intimate storytelling, social inquiry, and care. My practice is shaped by my work as a social and healthcare worker, which has deepened my attention to human experience, vulnerability, and the lives often kept at the margins of visibility. In 2010, I co-founded La Locomotiva Cinema e Musica, a cultural association that has hosted hundreds of events and artists. Within this space, I created a photography group that allowed me to develop my visual language and engage more deeply with photographic projects. My work transforms personal experience into wider reflection. Projects such as Discesa e Risalita and Il viso di mia madre explore dyslexia, illness, vulnerability, and resilience. I currently work with Nesti in Paternò, leading photography and videography workshops in schools.

I am a freelance photographer shooting mainly in St. Petersburg and the North-West Region of Russia. My first camera was a Soviet 'Smena', given to me by my father in school years. Since then, my passion for photography has flared up, then faded, and has become my undying passion already at a much more mature age. Recently, I have been shooting more and more on monolens, a very special lens that allows the viewer to go beyond the frame, leaving space for the imagination, and bringing us back to our past or our dreams.

I was born in New York City where I have spent most of my life. I had a career in clinical psychology, psychoanalysis and university teaching. Just before my 70th birthday I began taking photography classes at The International Center of Photography. I developed a strong interest in candid street photography. Now, thirteen years later, I have been in over eighty group exhibitions, have had four solo shows and have won a number of awards, such as 1st place in the Soho Photo Gallery National Competition in 2015. I was a finalist in the Miami Street Festival in both 2017 and 2018 and Streetfoto San Francisco in 2018. In 2019 I was the winner of both the PDN 'FACES' Awards for self-portraits and the Street Division of the Pollux Awards. I was also a finalist in The London Street Photography Festival. Most recently I was the winner of the 2020 6th Annual Street Shooting Around the World Exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography for best individual photograph. Additionally, in 2020, I was the 3rd Place Winner of Lens Culture Streets. ​My work has been featured in Popular Photography Magazine.

I consider myself a visual artist who loves to experiment with light, texture colour and tone, I create images that speak to the mind, heart and soul. Photography is my medium of choice through which I express my artistic vision and love for monochromatic imagery. I also enjoy exploring my city and the mysteries that I encounter with every walk.

I'm a Finland based self-taught photographer. As a photographer I am mostly interested in people, places and details. My love for old Finnish black and white movies, Italian neorealism and Akira Kurosawa's and Sergei Eisenstein's production partly explain why I photograph as I do. And if you don't understand Daido Moriyama or Junichiro Tanizaki you don't know me. I'm a dad with a wife and one lovely daughter. I was born and raised in Finland. Despite my travels I could give you 100 reasons why Finland is 'The Most Kick-Ass-Country' in the world. SIMO VÄISÄNEN I'm a Finland based self-taught photographer.

I am a West Yorkshire photographer with a long standing interest in documentary photography dating back to the 1970s. This has evolved into a portfolio that documents everyday life against a backdrop of the ordinary urban landscapes of northern England over the last fifty years. Since my retirement in 2006, I have immersed myself in photography, undertaking many different projects, exhibiting work internationally, gaining several hundred acceptances and receiving numerous awards. In 2010 I was awarded a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS). A long term project photographing Manchester’s Northern Quarter included a body of work that I gained Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) in 2018. I have self-published several books of my work including the titles ‘Shards of West Yorkshire’ volumes one & two, ‘The Northern Quarter’, ‘Various Covered Vehicles’ and ‘Empty Premises’. October 2020 saw the publication of my 2019 project ‘A Day at the Races’ through the Worcestershire-based photobook imprint ADM Publications. A DAY AT THE RACES: Race goers are an eclectic group. At one extreme there is the serious punter, and at the other the casual race goer simply enjoying a day out. There are those that go to be seen as well as to see, the high-rollers, the young, the old and those in between, the wealthy and those less so, the country set and the townies that just go to party. The mix of attendees is endless, creating a colourful atmosphere within the spectator enclosures as people circulate between the stands, the betting ring, the bars, and the parade ring interacting and engaging with one another. I spent much of 2019 visiting race meetings in the north of England to capture a fly on the wall document of attendees enjoying a day out. Studying the odds, enjoying a drink, having a laugh, and soaking up the drama, Peter’s candid photos showcase the frivolity of pre-pandemic race days. Most elite sports now take place behind closed doors and will continue to do so in the immediate future. Even when spectators do return, numbers are likely to be substantially reduced with the spectator experience significantly altered by social distancing and other Covid-safe protocols. When starting this project in the Spring I could not have anticipated that I was documenting the carefree dynamics of pre-pandemic days that we are unlikely to witness again in the foreseeable future, or indeed, perhaps for several years.
