Artist Spotlight - Ivan Klem
I explore the reality that surrounds me, its materialization, its duality, the ambivalent and yes, the beautiful. Escaping from the Universe of the obvious is not easy, but I intensely try. The complex, the dark, the brilliant, the hidden, the unknown, the plastic, the feminine, the abstract, captivate me, and keep me, to some extent, prisoner.
Vinci Weng
Entering Vinci Weng’s recent work feels less like arriving at an image than like stepping into a constructed situation that is already underway. The first sensation is not simply visual plenitude, though plenitude is everywhere, but a peculiar certainty that what one is seeing has been staged into existence with the deliberation of cinema and the density of painting. Weng’s pictures do not present themselves as windows, nor as documents, nor as the familiar persuasion of photographic immediacy. They behave instead as tableaux with rules, as fictional worlds whose internal physics are established through scale, depth, and chromatic climate.
Interview with Björn Carlsson
My practice is based on the premise that photography does not end at the final curtain, but rather begins there. By using post-production tools such as a palette and brush, I shift the focus from photographic representation to artistic creation.

Artist Spotlight - Judith Beale
For me, making marks is the initial objective. Finding images that speak to me in an intuitive and expressive manner remains the goal each time I work. I think of myself as a painter first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing. After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.
Artist Spotlight - Leo Gesess
One image – one mission. What does my image have to do with Francis of Assisi (Francis of Assisi is considered the patron saint of animals, the environment, and ecology. In the prayer “Canticle of the Sun,” which the saint wrote in the 13th century, he described animals as brothers and sisters of humans and expressed gratitude to nature, its phenomena, and wonders.) with my picture or series of pictures? 800 years! On the 800th (this year-2026) anniversary of his death, my picture was chosen as the cover for a book entitled “Animal Worlds of Art.”

Interview with Ursa Schoepper
The beauty of experimental art lies in the fact that the value of an idea cannot be mathematically calculated. Digital resources operate according to the code of "either/or." However, playing with an artistic idea is not computable. Creativity and innovation follow a both/and principle. The photographic artist as constructor is a creator, not a draftsman, not a graphic artist, not a copyist. As a phantom of light, photography becomes the bearers for an artistic vision. Image skin, artificial skin, forms the blueprint for another possibility.
Artist Spotlight - Eva Berler
My engagement with photography has rekindled my relationship with both nature and my inner world. My work revolves around nature, urban settings, macro subjects, abstract forms, and fine art photography. Rather than seeking out the extraordinary, I am drawn to the hidden, quiet, and often overlooked aspects of daily life. I seek to uncover beauty, wonder, and poetry within the ordinary, shaping what I call "my little mundane world."
Artist Spotlight - Melissa Lohr
My photography is a depiction of how I see the natural world and all the mystery it holds. Sometimes bright and colorful in its beauty or dark and ominous, but beautiful just the same. Although I do feel that I'm more drawn to what exists in the shadows. A dreamlike entity that resides at the fringes of perception, a mystical presence that dances between reality and imagination.
Artist Spotlight - Mary Di Iorio

Artist Spotlight - Romy Pfeifer
I feel a strong connection to all the beauty that surrounds me: the trees, plants, animals, fields, the sea, and the sky. Making photographs in these landscapes is a kind of meditation for me, and I feel the healing power. Through my art I have found my place in the world.
Artist Spotlight - Ted Fryberger

These photographs were taken on wilderness backpacking, backcountry skiing, scuba diving, and hiking trips I‘ve done or led over the past thirty years. My goal: seek & protect wilderness through sharing these images.
