Ivan Lawrence White The picture was taken in 2015 in Malawi. I lived there for 3 years and was lucky enough to dive in community life in rural areas. This picture portraits a father and his two sons in a stone house built in the early 20th century by first missionaries.

Selection of the publisher: Travelling around man with Mauro Vitale. By Valentina Damato
May be the reason why we enjoy street photography so much is because when we photo-
graph other people, we show our delight and
appreciation of interacting with other human beings. With a humanistic approach and a
dignified glympse of different realities, the
extremly talented Italian photographer Mauro Vitale, finds the right balance of empathy
and documentation with a significant creative
slant. He connects succesfully with the viewer in a powerful level, capturing brilliantly the
human emotions, taking us with him in a fascinating trip of discovery around man.
Selection of the publisher Interview with Mauro Vitale
by Valentina D‘Amato
How did you get started with street photography? I worked for nearly 30 years for the Ministry of Culture, initially dealing with photogrammetry and aerial photogrammetry. This first phase allowed me to travel a lot and meet different cultures. Gradually, the interest in etnographic research became stronger and the Ministry supported me in carrying out different projects. The center of my photographic research has always been the man, or rather the human being always in the foreground in my images, despite the diversity of approaches, sensibilities, styles. Man is the fundamental element that is reached when the excavation deepens and touches strata that go beyond the surface, where the image is materially formed, reaching the space of what remains of the gaze after the gaze. 2.How it was to get in touch through photography with such different cultures? These photographic researches within the most varied cultures portray more or less evident mutations apparently dissonant, but characterized by a strong element of cohesion: each of these enclaves expresses in a profound way the knowledge and the world it bears. Rispect is the indispensable element to bring cultures that are sometimes only apparently different, this respect, if perceived as authentic, can cancel any hostility or difference. 3.What do you do to stay motivated and not lose your passion for photography? Unfortunately I must admit that the pandemic has slowed down my research a lot, but as for all things, sooner or later it will end, and I hope as soon as possible to take up again photographing with the incentive of being able to find an inevitably changed world, who knows if for good or bad.

Selection of the publisher: with Olivier Schram. Aurélien Bomy: Olivier Schram, an experimented and talented travel photographer shares with us his taste and passion for cultural and human diversity. His photographic work is a strong testimony of how encounters with the unknown and the difference can be a precise way , in photography, to transmit the preciousness of social link in human lifes . Hi Olivier, would you tell us something about you and your photographic work? How did you get into travel photography? As I was about 14 years old, my grandfather was the very first person who introduced me to photography. He wasn’t such a talented photographer himself but very good at explaining how a camera works, the fundamental concepts of shutter speed, lens aperture, depth of field, etc. The first pictures I took were simply about daily life and landscapes in the lovely little Provence village (south of France) where he lived with my grandmother and where I used to spend most of my school holidays. By the past and still nowadays, Provence lights, luminosity and colors have had a great influence on many painters. I must admit that the emerging young amateur photographer I was at that time has been influenced and forever conditioned by the importance of light quality for taking good pictures. Would you say that you’re taking pictures for memory? Or for testimony? When I started, for sure, I mainly took pictures for the memory, as for keeping a remembrance and virtual part of the treasures, beauties and encounters I was discovering during my journeys. But year after year, as I got more interested by the social reality and physical diversity of our world, the trend to take pictures for testimony became stronger. Would you say that your work is a curiosity or an interest for the difference? Yes, as I have travelled and still travel a lot, in various countries and continents, the curiosity for what is different is quite and evidence for me. It is even a kind of fuel. But as a photographer, you can observe the difference on various fields… As far as I am concerned, the aspects of social life, observation of trades that have disappeared in western countries or of

Selection of the publisher: with Olivier Schram. festive and religious customs as well as urban bustle are my main centers of interest. Do you have an anecdote or a story that marked you about one of your photography? During summer 1988, I went to northern Pakistan for a fabulous one-month trip. In the stunning valley of Hunza, while hiking and meeting some local village people, I took the portrait of Zafarullah, a 2-year-old child, with the Canon AE-1 camera I possessed at that time. Almost 30 years later, once it had been scanned, I posted this portrait on my online gallery. A few months later, I was contacted by Zafarullah himself through my Facebook page. He had recognized himself through his online baby portrait… He had no personal photography at all as a remembrance of his youth and so kindly asked me if he could download his own portrait. We both have been very moved by this “reunion” so many years later. Since that day we keep in touch through FB and each of us is hoping that one day, we’ll meet together again in his beautiful Hunza valley where he is still living and working nowadays as a small tourism agency owner. Where can we find more of your work? “Travelling Moods”, my personal website: https://www.olivierschram.photography/ On Instagram: @olivier_schram On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/olivier.schram.2/ Also, I have plans to publish a book dedicated to some of my great travel emotions and encounters captured over the years through the lens of my camera. Each image in front of its story… Is there something more you would like to tell us? Because of the pandemic, like many other photographers, I have suffered during those last two years not to be able to travel abroad. I have taken advantage of this period for launching “Travelling Moods”, my brand-new website dedicated to travel photography. But I have one main dream in mind now, being on the road again! Thank you Olivier for sharing your beautiful work with us!

Albania Uwe Schröder
A country where the Mercedes Benz is a status symbol, but the people has have no work or future. In the middle of Europe. Albania | Selenica is a small town in southern Albania, about 15 kilometres as the crow flies northeast of Vlora. The town has
2235 inhabitants. The local authorities give a much higher figure of about 7650 inhabitants. Selenica belongs to the Vlora Qark.
It is at the end of a road, a dead end - of life too perhaps? So it
seems to me, also an end without a future for that generation? The town, the houses are in a terrible state, is there hope for
the children here? Albania is a developing country in the middle of Europe. The civil war was not long ago, triggered by a lottery. The lottery took the money out of the Albanians‘ pockets until there was an uprising. The UN had to ensure peace and quiet. The government was bogged down.

Paul Greenwood Havana, Cuba. These painters caught my eye, not only because of how their blue overalls matched the blue of the Hotel Telegrafo, but also of how they were precariously, yet confidently, hanging three storeys high on nothing more than a rope and a short plank of wood!

Valentina D‘Amato The Golden Pier When I remember some episode of my girlhood, it was always summer. At that time, I used to feel that winter was endless but summer was gone in a flash. This summer I returned to the pier facing the island, where I used to go when I was a girl, a place witness from trivial conversations to amusing and romantic stories. It is the golden hour and I feel to be walking out onto a golden path. The girl, also made of gold, is coming with a look full of future, overwhelmed by the wonderful sunset, while a group of boys are laughing and jumping into the sea, from the pier. With such scene is impossible not to feel I am in some enchanted Neverland or timeless Tom Sawyer story. Even the island from the distance seems almost a mirage. While I am writing these lines, the lively ambient summer sound is fading away. My winter is next and I know I will miss the golden pier.
