Contrast Photography, or in other words, the contrast in photography depicts the range of distinction between the complementary colors in a photograph. The darker and lighter elements of an image can be differentiated only by using contrast. High contrast makes an image intense and exciting. A low contrast creates a soothing and flat affect. Chiiz Photography Magazine is here again with a mesmerizing issue based on the “Contrast” genre. In our magazine’s “Feature” section, our readers will witness a terrific compilation of Contrast images by Guido Klumpe, who is based in Hanover, Germany. He brings the contrasts in his minimal, abstract, and street photographs. Juan P. Zapata has also been a part of this journey. He is a self-taught Colombian photographer based in New York, USA. He presents the beauty of Ballet and Dance Photography through his astounding images. In this issue, we are also featuring Juma Teddy Tavan, a freelance photographer based in Juja, Kenya. In his series, the artist showcases the beauty of contrast in his compelling and eye-catching photographs. Atul Hundoo, who is an inhabitant of Lucknow, India, is one of the featured street photographers of this issue. He clicked all the common things around us that often go unseen. We are expanding our horizons of contrast photography with Meiji Nguyen, a fashion photographer and creative director based in Perth, Western Australia. His immense influence for each of his creative visions is reflected through his photographs. In the “Old is Gold” section, we are showcasing ‘The Diligence of Living in a Blockaded City: Sniper Alley- 1992’. It portrays the horrific view of the informally named Sniper Alley during the Bosnian War. Mountains surrounded the city, where snipers took their positions, providing a safe distance to the city’s traffic. We present to you the review of a beautiful movie named “Hand Held,” directed by Don Hahn. It has been recognized worldwide twice in the Academy Awards. You will also witness the book review of ‘The Art and Business of Photography’ by Susan Carr. It will provide you a realistic view of the photography business compared to today’s modern photography market.

Old is Gold 48 The Diligence of Living In A Blockaded City: Sniper Alley-1992
Guido Klumpe, born in 1971 in Germany works in minimal, abstract, and street photography. In his current series “Losing one dimension�, the self-educated photographer explores the fragile moment of transition, in which three-dimensional architecture dissolves into two dimensions and abstracts. To achieve this, he photographically superimposes various objects of the cityscape, such as the walls of houses, bollards, or car roofs. The photographs are not digitally manipulated. He finds his motives in completely normal residential areas, arterial roads, and industrial areas. The artist explores his own way of seeing: He is blind in one eye, the other has a visual capacity of 25%. Through photography, he approaches and crosses the boundaries of his vision. He lives in a simulated three-dimensionality. streetphotograph.de

Without any doubt, news and media opened the Western world’s eyes towards the sad reality and plight of the Romanian children. The movie expresses and showcases how the 20-year-old odyssey of Mike Carrol and his colleagues fought to raise help for these children in need. Significantly raising and bringing up support in a country that they hardly knew anyone from. Without any doubt, Hand Held is one of the most prominent documentary films directed and produced by the very known, recognized, and a world-famous two time Academy Award nominee filmmaker Don Hahn. The shooting locations for this movie was in Bucharest, Boston, and Transylvania. The entire shooting duration took nearly two years.

Old is Gold The Diligence of Living In A Blockaded City: Sniper Alley - 1992 Along with this, the killings happened for around 225 people, out of which 60 were children. Sadly The Sniper Alley 1992 was definitely The Diligence of Living in a Blockaded City.
Sniper Alley, which is called Snajperska Aleja in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian, is one of the informal names primarily for the streets namely Zmaja od Bosne Street in the country. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, this street was famous by the name of Dragon of Bosnia Street. The main Boulevard in Sarajevo became one of the most infamous places and emerged as a dangerous place for civilians to travel around during the Bosnian war. The main Boulevard in Sarajevo was lined up with numerous amounts of sniper posts. This infamous and dangerous road helps in connecting the Sarajevo Airport to the rest of the parts of the city that involves historical sites as well as the old town’s cultural sites. Most importantly, the Boulevard consists of a lot of high-rise buildings that are providing sniper shooters a perfect view for extending fields of fire.
Moreover, Sniper Alley was also showcased in the movie, The Peacemaker. Additionally, The Sniper Alley Street was also featured in Joe Kubert’s book Fax from Sarajevo. 1997 war film, Welcome to Sarajevo by director Michael Winterbottom also had some real footage and actual scenes of snipers troubling and harassing the residents. The movie, In the Land of Blood and Honey, also had a scene wherein people were seen crossing the same alley street. And the list does not end here. Certainly, this street in Bosnia and Herzegovina was featured in a lot of movies, books, shows, media and etc. But in case, you are wondering, how all these things actually started. This was during the Bosnian war which was an International Armed Conflict that happened from the year 1992 till 1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Seeing the number of violent incidents that started happening in the early stages of the Year 1992, it was expected and commonly believed that the war started on 6th of April 1992. Eventually ending on the 14th of December 1995. Last But not least, with all those cruel acts by those snipers, Sniper Alley eventually ended up becoming The Diligence of Living in a Blockaded City for the local residents.
Sniper shooters also used all the mountains that were around in the city as their shooting positions. In addition to this, mountains also helped them to keep a safe distance by providing an excellent view of the city’s traffic and its movement. Even though the city was under such a scenario, survivors and people still had to travel around the city, thus routinely risking their lives. Even though the city was under the constant Serb Siege, people and computers were moving across the city with signs that were reading “Pazi – Snajper!” (“Watch out – Sniper!”). Such type of signboards became common across the country and especially around the locality. When local residents needed to travel across the street, they would rather run fast across the street or would wait for the armored vehicles of the United Nations to walk behind them as the protective shields. According to the data gathered in the year 1995, surprisingly and sadly, 1030 people were wounded by these snipers. Nishad Kinhikar nishad@chiiz.com
