Janette Beckman brings an intimate approach to documentary photography that encapsulates the raw energy and authenticity in pivotal moments of the evolution of music and culture. Her photographs of foundational hip-hop groups, such as N.W.A., chronicle a subculture once marginalized, now celebrating its 50th anniversary. Amanda Charchian and Herb Ritts skillfully explore the beauty of humanity through their unique interpretation of form and abstraction. Charchian employs intricate manipulations to reveal enigmatic layers, while Ritts, a master of composition and light, celebrates the beauty of form as subject matter. Blaise Cepis and Michael Garlington use photography as a launchpad to immerse viewers in fantastical worlds, challenging perception with their creations of alternate realities. Alex Stoddard and Alexandre Bassard present images that beckon viewers to engage with narratives delving into the past, present, and future of their reflective responses to the world. Magdalena Wosinska employs a vibrant approach to lifestyle, skillfully capturing dynamic and vivid moments that resonate with the pulse of modern culture while remaining rooted in centuries of human adventure.
