WePhoto - 2016 - Reportage - Vol 1
WePhoto “The Series” Reportage Vol 1 Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 15 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the First eBook of the Ten line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Minimal Photography.
We are all so excited and happy to be able to collect such beautiful images and, most of all to be able to share them with a wide audience. Spread, share, recommend everyone to download eBooks from our webpages and links below. Also make sure to leave your feedback on the eStores – 5 stars comments would be great. RATE IT!

Reportage La Storia. Da quando esiste la Fotografia, uno dei più importanti, se non il più importante utilizzo di questa forma di comunicazione è la documentazione di Eventi. Dallo sport alla guerra, dalle manifestazioni politiche e sindacali alla narrazione di eventi di vita comune, nelle strade, nele città, nei villaggi, nei campi. La descrizione della vita, nelle sue varie forme. Racconto, denuncia. Reportage
Reportage History. Since there is Photography, one of the most important, if not the most important use of this form of communication is the documentation of events. From sports to war, from political events and trade to the narration of the common life events, in the streets, in cities, in villages, in the fields. The description of life in its various forms. Story, complaint. Reportage Mario Buncuga

Photography is the thing my life turns around; I breath pictures, I smell pictures, I see pictures and eventually, I create a new picture from the reality. By taking pictures, I try to reach the viewers soul, and make them feel something, react to the picture. When I get one, I know I did a good job Exhibitions: • URBANICA, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2014 (Collective) • CONFLICT, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2014 (Collective) • CITY LIGHTS, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2014 (Collective) • CUBA, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2015 (Collective) • NIGHTMOVES, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2015 (Collective) • STREET, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2015 (Collective) • SWP, Hamburg, Germany, 2015 (Collective) • BADGE of SHAME, Tel Aviv, Israel, 2015 (Collective) • ISRAELI ART, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2016 (collective) • STREET ART, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2016 (Collective) • URBANITES, Tel-Aviv, Israel, 2016 (Collective) • MY CUBA, Chicago, Illinois, US, 2016 (1st.

GIUSEPPE D'AMICO L’aquila, Italy www.facebook.com/GDAwildlifephotographer/?ref=hl wildphotographer.it youpic.com/photographer/giuseppedamico9480
Per me la fotografia naturalistica rappresenta lo strumento per esercitare la voglia di avventura, di esplorazione, di conoscenza di mondi, genti e culture diversi, di contatto con la natura selvaggia. In tal senso, fotografia, natura, viaggi, conoscenza di nuovi mondi e culture sono elementi che si compenetrano e si integrano per alimentare non solo una passione ma un vero e proprio stile di vita. L'obiettivo fotografico diventa quindi l'arma con cui combattere l'abitudine e la banalità del quotidiano di una modernità che tutto sta appiattendo, contaminando, capace di testimoniare, allo stesso tempo la bellezza e i valori spirituali di cui il creato è portatore.
For me nature photography is the instrument for exercising the desire for adventure, exploration, knowledge of worlds, people and different cultures, contact with wild nature. In this sense, photography, nature, travel, knowledge of new worlds and cultures are elements that penetrate and integrate to power not only a passion but a real lifestyle. The lens then becomes a weapon with which to fight the habit and banality of everyday life of a modernity that everything is flattening, contaminating, capable of witnessing at the same time the beauty and spiritual values of which creation is the bearer. 22

TOWFIQ CHOWDHURY Dhaka, Bangladesh towfiqchowdhury.hr@gmail.com
My name is Towfiq Chowdhury. I live in Dhaka the capital of Bangladesh. Before I took up photography I loved to observe how different photographers used their work to tell a story. So when I decided to take up photography I had a clear idea of the kind of photography I wanted to do. For me I think photography is a language to communicate with people. There is lots of injustice occurring everyday in our society many of them don’t find anyone to tell their horrible story. Whenever I get chance I visit different place and meet with people who face a daily struggle to survive. I like to talk to them and try to experience their way of life. I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I spend time with them make fun with them and try to hear their story. I always keep my camera ready when I spend time with those survivors and wait for the right moment. I called them survivor because they have very hard life. I believe photography can bring lot of positive changes in our life. Today, I count myself blessed, having become a photographer 34

RUTH CHUDASKA-CLEMENZ Finsterwalde, Germany https://www.facebook.com/ruth.chudaskaclemenz https://500px.com/shadows.
Ruth Chudaska-Clemenz - from Germany, live in  Finsterwalde, a small town in Brandenburg I was fascinated about photography very early. My father gave me the first camera when I was about 8 years old. During my high school time I met a professional photographer who showed me the essentials and borrowed the first Nikon to me. He published the first photos when I was 18. Then it was my dream to own a Nikon for myself.
Now, more than 30 years have passed. I did not followhis way to be a professional photographer because I wanted to be free in my decisions what to shoot or not. For me force is the dead of photography. But the fascination for photography never completely left me. Meanwhile I could realize my dreams and after having long experiences with analogue Nikons I changed to the digital ones some years ago.... one of my dreams has fulfilled: I own professional gear and try constantly to improve my skills and to learn every day new and interesting things about photography and post processing. Â In my usual profession I work as psychiatrist expert testimonies for legal authorities in Germany. 82
