Last weekend we hosted our creative gathering in Amsterdam. The feedback we got from the creative minds who came through really moved us, hearing what this gathering gave them. Today we want to say thank you, but also remind you why coming together matters, besides all the other benefits. We hope this inspired you and most of all we hope to see you again in person soon.

frayme of the Week: Between Destinations
.
Nobody really lives in the in between. It is the part of the day we forget first. The stretch between leaving one place and getting to the next. But something does happen in that gap. You stop performing. Your guard drops in a way it never would if you were standing still. This weeks curation sits right inside that pause. We have all been there. Pressed up against a window. Half asleep on a seat that was never really made for sleeping. Looking at faces we will never see again. Motion does something to people. It softens them a little. It makes them more honest than standing still ever does.
.
And that is the thing these photographers got. They did not sit around waiting for the destination. They found the whole story in the getting there.
.
Huge thanks to our curator @sereneteo_stillpictures for pulling this one together, and to our featured photographers.

Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist known for his black and white landscapes of the American West and for his role in US conservation.
Adams joined the Sierra Club in 1919 and was elected to its board of directors in 1934, a position he held for 37 years. In 1936 the Sierra Club sent him to Washington to lobby for the protection of Kings Canyon in California. In 1938 he published the book Sierra Nevada: The John Muir Trail, which reached Interior Secretary Harold Ickes and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1940 Congress established Kings Canyon National Park. According to the National Park Service, Adams’ photographs were used effectively during the congressional debate and contributed to the 1940 law. Sotheby’s states that the park was created largely because of his efforts. Roosevelt designated it as a roadless park.
In 1941 the US Department of the Interior commissioned Adams to photograph national parks and monuments across the country for a mural project, later halted by World War II. The photographs are held by the National Archives and are largely in the public domain. In 1968 Adams received the Department of the Interior’s highest honor for a non employee, and in 1980 President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
.
Many thanks, Ansel Adams!

Sebastião Salgado spent his life photographing the people most of the world preferred not to see.
Over five decades he worked in more than 100 countries. Workers, Migrations, Genesis. Black and white, always, and always at eye level with his subjects. Before the camera he worked as an economist, then gave it all up the moment he first looked through a lens.
He said he would never give up photography, because it was his life. He meant it, right to the end in 2025.
.
Many thanks, Sebastião Salgado, 1944 to 2025.

Vanessa Kutzer is a documentary photographer from Austria who doesn’t take the easy route, not in boxing and not behind the camera. In Issue 002, we spoke about her beginnings in photography, what it means to carry the responsibility of making images in spaces that aren’t your own, and why ten years in the ring taught her more about seeing than any classroom ever could and much more.
.
Her upcoming photobook What Holds Us documents the emotional and social power of sport across communities in Ghana, where boxing gyms, surf clubs, and football fields become places of belonging when everything else falls short.
.
Thank you, Vanessa, for a conversation that went beyond the surface. We’ll be following this journey closely.

If you have the privilege of living in a country where these values are part of everyday life, it is worth remembering what that means. Not just as a photographer, not just as an artist, but as a human being.
.
Most of what we do, shooting in the streets, publishing our work, showing uncomfortable truths, only works because we live in a system that allows it. We can photograph anything in public without asking permission. Our images can reach people through a free press and open platforms. Once a photograph enters the public conversation, nobody in power can make it disappear. And sometimes, a single image can change a law.
.
There are many more reasons why democracy matters for photography. These are just four of them.

frayme of the Week: Visual Rhythms
.
You probably walked past a dozen patterns today without thinking about it. Lines on a building, tiles under your feet, shadows doing the same thing over and over across a wall. They were there. You just had somewhere to be.
.
This week’s curation is full of moments like that. Places where the world repeats itself, builds a tempo, sets up a beat you can only see. And then someone walks right through it. Not knowing, not caring, just moving. That is the picture. Not the pattern but the person caught inside it.
.
Five photographers, five different places, and somehow they all stopped for the same thing. The rhythm was already there. They just waited long enough to see who would walk into it.
.
Huge thanks to our curator @sereneteo_stillpictures for this one, and to all featured photographers.

Photography Lessons: Félix Nadar (1820-1910)
.
Born Gaspard Félix Tournachon in Paris, son of a printer and bookseller. He started as a satirical writer and caricaturist before turning to photography in the 1850s. He worked with natural light, plain backgrounds, and no props. His studio on the Boulevard des Capucines became the place where the most important figures of his time sat for their portraits. Sarah Bernhardt, Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, George Sand, Eugène Delacroix, Jules Verne. In 1858, he took the first aerial photographs from a balloon. In the early 1860s, he photographed the Paris catacombs using artificial light. In 1874, the first Impressionist exhibition took place in his former studio. His memoir, When I Was a Photographer, was published in 1900. He has been described as the world’s first great portrait photographer.
.
Many thanks, Félix Nadar.

Most people think photography is about the images. It’s not. Or at least, not only. What your camera actually does to your brain and body is something science has been studying for years now.
.
The short version: photography strengthens your memory more than puzzles or reading ever could, it gets your body moving without you even realizing it, it literally rewires how your brain processes the world, and it activates the same reward system that makes you feel good after your favorite meal. Everything in this post is backed by real, peer reviewed studies.

Gordon Parks is one of the most influential American photographers of the 20th century.
.
Born in 1912 in Fort Scott, Kansas, he was the youngest of fifteen children in a family of tenant farmers. He grew up in poverty and segregation. His mother died when he was fifteen, and he was soon left to survive on his own.
.
Inspired by photographs of migrant workers he saw in a magazine, he bought his first camera at a pawnshop in Seattle and taught himself photography. He used it to document racism, poverty, and the struggle for civil rights in America.
.
In 1948, he became the first Black staff photographer at Life magazine. In 1969, with The Learning Tree, he became the first Black director of a major Hollywood studio film.
.
Many thanks, Gordon Parks!

Curated portraits by Lewis Hine, taken between 1908 and 1924.
.
Born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Hine studied sociology before picking up a camera as a teaching tool in New York. From 1904 he documented immigrants at Ellis Island, and in 1908 the National Child Labor Committee sent him across the country. Over the next decade he made more than 5,000 photographs of children in mills, mines, canneries, and on the streets. Those images reached Congress, helped pass the first federal child labor law in 1916, and fueled reforms that eventually led to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In 1930 he climbed the rising steel frame of the Empire State Building to photograph the workers building it. Despite his enormous influence, he died in poverty at 66.
.
Many thanks, Lewis Hine!
