FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER CHARLOTTE FAVRE
Gobelins-trained photographer Charlotte Favré on Brittany light, memory as creative process, interning with Bettina Rheims, and her series Emotional Movement.
SARA MEINZ
Her creative process began with shooting lots of bad pictures — then letting them rest, going back months later, hoping one of them had quietly become something. Sara Meinz, born in Vigo in 1996, has since been shortlisted for the Palm Photo Prize, selected for Futures Photography, and published twice by Pomegranate Press. Back in her hometown, she is working on something new: narratives, not single frames. The pandemic changed what she thinks photography is for.
PHOTOGRAPHER FABIO BOTTIROLI
He didn't train as a photographer. He sat in on campaign shoots for a sportswear brand until the lens claimed him. Now based near Milan, Fabio Bottiroli makes images built on collaboration, preparation, and a stubborn refusal to let quantity win over quality. In an age of content overload, that's its own form of radicalism.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
