The Pictorial List was launched in January 2020 as a passion project to inspire and support the diverse community of photographers and visual storytellers. © Bill Lacey we are THE PICTORIAL LIST mission: Our mission is to support, elevate, and celebrate diverse voices through the visual arts, with a particular focus on photography as a powerful medium for storytelling. We aim to foster inclusive environments that inspire, educate, and connect visual storytellers from all backgrounds — regardless of gender, culture, race, life status, neurodiversity, or mobility — on local, national, and international platforms. By nurturing creativity in a supportive environment, we ensure that all voices are heard and visual narratives have the space to flourish. The Pictorial List is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit arts organization founded by Karen Ghostlaw Pomarico and Melanie Meggs in 2024, following the publication of their first hardcover book, The Pictorial List – Volume One – New York. United by a shared belief in the power of photography to elevate diverse voices and foster meaningful connection, Karen and Melanie co-founded the organization to expand the reach and impact of their curatorial work and to provide a platform for photographers. The Pictorial List began in 2020 as a passion project initiated by Melanie Meggs — a digital platform built to inspire and support a global community of photographers. Over time, it grew into a collaborative space for creative exchange, shaped by a dedicated team. Each member plays a vital role in helping the organization evolve while staying grounded in its founding values. … the goal of art was the vital expression of self. - Alfred Stieglitz WHY PICTORIAL? The Pictorial List was chosen as both a name and a philosophy — a nod to the Pictorialists of the early 20th century who dared to ask, “Can photography be art?” They believed in photography not just as a tool for documentation, but as a means of expression — equal to painting, sculpture, or poetry. Their photographs challenged conventions and opened new pathways for visual storytelling. At The Pictorial List, we carry that spirit forward. Like the Pictorialists, we believe in elevating the photographic voice, and we aim to spotlight those who use the camera as a brush, a mirror, a witness, or a whisper. Through our nonprofit work, we aim to advance the art and science of photography and multimedia by empowering artists — especially those from underserved, marginalized, and diverse communities — to harness visual storytelling as a means of advocacy, reflection, and creative transformation. THE PICTORIAL MAGAZINE Our digital magazine offers in-depth pictorial stories and interviews with photographers around the world. These features move beyond aesthetics, revealing the social, emotional, and personal layers behind each body of work. Whether focused on human stories, cultural shifts, or overlooked places, the photographers we feature share their worlds with generosity, honesty, and heart. At The Pictorial List, we believe in the quiet power of photography to reframe the world — and we are committed to ensuring that all voices have the opportunity to be seen, shared, and celebrated.

Never any good at painting, I turned to photography as a way of expression and it is now on the street that I find my canvas. For me it is a space that offers endless creative possibilities. I think my photography in some way reflects my inner thoughts and feelings which can be a jumbled up mess at times and fantastically inspiring and lucid at others. This is probably why I am drawn to abstracts on one hand and then, with a flick of a switch, urban decay on the other. I work mainly with colour as it provides me with the tools to make bold, vibrant statements, whether this be on a cold, rainy winter's night, or a sea front in the middle of summer. By being creative when shooting - I prefer to leave post production to a minimum - I'll aim for a rich colour palette, but at the same time offering a natural connection within the image. I am happy working without a fixed project in mind and have been drawn to the notion of mindful photography where I let my subconscious take over and let it lead me to the right place. This in turn inspires and feeds my creative thinking which in turn has led to project ideas. I look at places and wonder what's on the other side of the window, door or curtain? Or what must it be like to be in that space? Or feel a sense of isolation? Or to reflect on better times gone by? This collection of images comes from this train of thought. They are all taken in London at various locations, but it is not the locations that are of importance to me, rather the feelings they evoke.

I work as the executive director of a group of IT companies, and in fact, I do not have much time for photography, but I always carry a camera with me, and it works from time to time. I have been photographing since childhood, and my father, who took our family photos and had a full set of equipment for the "dark room", once instilled interest in me. He gave me my first camera, it was a semi-format "Chajka" with 28mm Industar lens, and I was absolutely fascinated by miniature sharp negatives that I could look at for hours. Many years later, photography came back into my life. One day, taking a camera with me when leaving home, I made an almost random shot in the building of the former monastery, which now houses a music school. Then for a long time I could not take anything better by form and content. That time, it made me realize what I was interested in and what I was going to do as a photographer. The story happened almost 20 years ago, the frame was not lost, I keep it at the bottom of my Instagram page as a memory.

I am an ex-journalist turned full-time photographer. What started as a hobby soon led me to learn and master the craft of photography, whilst I was working covering a few major Art, Cultural and Heritage events across Delhi and India. I exhibited a knack for capturing portraits and live performances. I don’t just want to point my camera and click photographs. I click according the way the subject make me feel or I click on the connection of the emotion between myself and the subjects. My main goal as a photographer is to create the kinds of images which combine a strong sense of story and expression of people. RAJ LAXMI SINGH I am an ex-journalist turned full-time photographer.

I've had a love for street photography since I was a child, long before I knew it had a name. Not until 2017 did I take up the challenge of photographing in the streets myself. I'm drawn to ordinary people doing ordinary things. To me, it’s all extraordinary - emotion, gesture, connection, and humor. I believe that we humans are much more alike than we are different, and hopefully my photos remind people of that. I have been exhibited in Washington DC, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Paris, Trieste, and Sydney. I am part of the Women in Street Collective, DC Street Photography Collective and Optic Nerve Collective.

I have always taken pictures. At home, outside, and in a previous life as a journalist when I took photos for my articles. However, it gained momentum after a series of serious setbacks in my personal life. I could have jumped in front of a train, but went out on the street instead and frantically started shooting in a desire for some peace and quiet. I have not yet returned from that trip. Most of my work categorises as street photography, since I almost exclusively photograph in public spaces and often have people appearing in my images. Yet, my work is not really about people or human activities, nor is it about social issues. I see my photos as tiny fragments of what’s around us. Scenes or objects that are basically irrelevant, but that are able to convey some sort of emotion when taken out of context or isolated by the eye of the photographer. What kind of emotion is something I leave up to the viewer. I like to keep things ambiguous. That's when art is at its best. I shoot most of my work in Antwerp and Brussels. Apart from my own work I help fellow photographers during workshops and through a popular Dutch-language blog on street photography. MARC PENNARTZ I have always taken pictures.
