On the border
Steve Miller
The University of Wyoming and Colorado State University football game is called “The Border War” and generates the most attention and fan enthusiasm of all the games. The running of the Bronze Boot is an annual pilgrimage of the trophy between Laramie and Fort Collins by ROTC students at the two universities. Pistol and Pete, the draft horse team from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, participated on a snowy afternoon by ceremonially hauling ROTC students and the Bronze Boot from the Wyoming-Colorado border about one-half mile, where the students then relay-ran the game ball.

Personal Portraits from 2019
andrew segreti
My goal in 2019 was to make more intimate, connected, and sensitive portraits in order to bring more value, emotive depth and technical diversity to my commissioned work. I shot a lot trying many things that were new to me. This submission is a cross-section of my favorite portraits and favorite photographic techniques.

The pencil. An extension of our brain
Carlos Caicedo
There are objects we take for granted because they've been part of our daily lives since we can remember. They're so well designed, modern technology hasn't been able to improve. And their simplicity is remarkably welcome to the camera.
The humble pencil is one of them.

Paper. Magic at our fingertips.
Carlos Caicedo
Ah! Paper! Along with the pencils, it's becoming an endangered species. Future generations won't get to experience the touch, the caresses with the eyes over the page, the pleasure of turning the paper at the sound of a good read, the instant magic of sketching. Call it nostalgia. Yes, it is...

American Express - Tomatina festival
Jon Attenborough
This was taken a part of a campaign for American Express, shot on location in Mallorca, Spain. We recreated the famous Tomatina Festival in an old backstreet of Palma. We shipped in tonnes and tonnes of tomatoes for 100 extras to throw at each other, eager to get messy!

California Dreamin'
Sandra Cattaneo Adorno
When I moved to California to attend university, I experienced a great sense of freedom: it was the first time that I was really by myself in an environment that felt informal and laid back.
What I also like about California is the mentality of the people, their down-to-earth attitude combined with an alternative lifestyle. They seem to always be developing forward thinking and new ideas in exciting and creative ways.

Rio Scarti
Sandra Cattaneo Adorno
When I was printing my new book, Águas de Ouro, at EBS in Verona with RadiusBooks, I noticed the way my photos combined on the metal sheets that were left over after the proofs were made. On these sheets, called scarti, meaning scraps in Italian, the photos associate and merge by chance to create new and daring compositions. I took them as inspiration for the project I have been working on during the quarantine, called Scarti Rio.

A Celebration of Life
Jim Douglas
An elementary science teacher of gifted students, Beth Wakefield experienced recurring head pain. She sought a diagnosis from two neurologists before a prominent Twin Cities physician diagnosed her: Moya Moya disease. Her carotid artery in the skull was blocked reducing blood for to her brain. Dr. Eric Nussbaum immediately operated, repairing the damage. A year later I suggested we celebrate the life saving operation with a photograph. She and her daughter Virginia joined me at sunset near Minneapolis for this celebration of life. Fortunately, Beth trusted her instincts to pursue a third opinion.

2.5 Seconds
Anya Anti
Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind is about 140 thousand years old. If we compress the Earth's existence into a normal full day of 24 hours, then we’ve been on this planet for... 2.5 seconds.
In 2.5 seconds we’ve become the dominant species with a rapidly growing population, causing a catastrophic impact on the environment. We have created the industrial revolution and burned fossil fuels creating more carbon in the atmosphere than ever before. We have caused global warming at a record pace, endangering our own existence. We have cut trees and destroyed forests more than ever before, polluted air, water, and soil. We have created an island of waste, the size of the state of Texas, in the middle of the ocean. We have caused the 4th mass animal extinction. Three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In just 2.5 seconds we’ve turned the planet into our own personal factory.
It took almost 4.5 billion years of evolution for us to exist and we have changed so much in so little time. The problem is us.
With this project I hope to bring awareness about climate change, to start a conversation about the issue, and to educate more people about the facts, the urgency of the crisis, and the seriousness of its consequences. The project is a series of photographs that highlight the environmental crisis through metaphors and symbolism. Each one of them illustrates and represents a specific environmental issue using allegorical figures and subjects, props, costumes, and natural landscapes.

Negativityness
Robert A. Ripps
This work is my response to the political climate in our country right now- everything seems to be about negativity, about division, about what is truth (and what is inarguable false, yet touted as truth). It is about how the surface of things can be 180 degrees opposite from what is underneath, it is about falsehoods and unseen influence. It is about discordance, about disorientation, about a world turned upside down and inside out. What was familiar and perhaps mundane has now taken on a sense of surrealism and unfamiliarity, which leaves us feeling unsure, confused and helpless, powerless to get a handle on events affecting our daily lives.
Even now, with the advent of Covid-19, and the protests for racial justice, the lies and misinformation continue, and this project has even more relevance. Lately my imagery has grown to include local NYC landmarks, which are now pretty much closed and mostly deserted- what would happen to them if nature took hold, if vegetation overgrew the familiar and transformed it into something altogether different and foreign looking, but also strange and beautiful..?

Love in Bloom
Luisa Madrid
"I whisper with my lips close to your ear,
I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you."
Love in Bloom is a series dedicated to documenting lovers and relationships of all races, ages, sexual orientations, and genders and non-genders as they pose under a flowery and embroidered tulle.

Cloud Atlas
Yanni De Melo
This body of work came to inspiration when I witnessed the sun setting during my many bike rides. I captured multiple sunsets, and with the inspiration of Baroque and Renaissance paintings, I imagined what it would be like to superimpose dancers in the sky as if they are Gods and Goddesses. I captured two of my friends who are ballet dancer's and yoga practitioner, and fused both worlds into one. This body of work is a culmination of combining two images into one, using green screen method, to create surreal, poetic, and visual images depicting emotion through dance, fashion, and photography.

Street Culture
Seleen Saleh
‘Street Culture’ gives light to the original runway that inspires modern day fashion. There is an overload of color and style, by the pioneers and ‘who’s who’ of the global fashion community. During a time when diversity in the fashion industry has become a major topic of discussion globally,
‘Street Culture’ was created to give a space to those whose contributions may or may not be known. This book is about documenting a movement in time that will continue to blossom and grow. A time of resilience, style, and celebrating culture.

Photography makes heroes of us all. Not only of people, but also of places and things. Never has this been truer than it is today; an age in which social media elevates everything it depicts to near-iconic status. But what’s that old adage about never meeting your heroes? If there’s too great a disparity between the fantasies we’ve projected onto a given photograph, on the one hand, and a real-life encounter with its subject on the other, the result is invariably disappointment. And to be let down by photography is not only to become dissatisfied with images, but with life more generally. We now spend much of our daily lives staring into screens in search of information - of revelation even. Yet how easily we forgot that the word screen can also be a verb, meaning to conceal or filter out. Does hyperrealism bring the world into greater focus, revealing increased clarity and detail? Or does such imagery instead obscure the very information we seek to uncover?

Right And Wrong
Inga Pae
This is six collages (of twelve) Imaginary Beings who reflect on the complex dynamics of owning and displaying one’s sexuality. It was one of the most important topics before the pandemic.
Although we desire to be seen and valued for our intellect and contribution, body-based objectification is as abundant as ever. Even with increased acceptance of gender fluidity and equality, it’s still a challenge to show our most truthful selves to the public. Deeply rooted notions of male and female stereotypes of what is “right” and “proper” will likely take generations to loosen and adapt to new ways of relating to each other.
I chose a simple T-shirt to be the unifying visual element in this series. Since the 1970s, the graphic tee has come to signify identity, allegiance, and protest. It’s used as a promotional tool, a form of advocacy, and an affirmation of freedom.
But what garners more attention than a t-shirt? A wet tee, of course!
I photographed my friends in wet t-shirts that were lettered with various phrases, then collaged the cutouts with photographs of ancient sculptures, modern objects, magazine clippings and graffiti walls.
Identity markers and associated social norms are changing rapidly. I’m eager to witness how they will morph in light of recent global events in the coming years.
