From Osegbu’s portfolio of fashion work which is inspired by masters like Steven Klein, Mert Alas (of Mert and Marcus), Tim Walker, David LaChappelle and Guy Bourdin. His work is folkloric and features narratives derived from his own fears and desires. Osegbu says, “When I [create this work], I feel free to exist in my own metaphysical space, free from social and societal standards and pressures.”

Brazzle’s portraits showcase modern fashion printed with an old-fashioned process: gum dichromate over cyanotype. “This print process is important in combination with this subject because it creates a reminiscent feeling while also remaining contemporary,” she writes.

Says Winborne, the United States is currently at a peak political divide, and the work he creates aims to capture, “the people who so staunchly oppose each other,” he writes. “This work includes people on both sides of the political rift as well as those who are just caught in the middle.”

The images in “Sing Me Back Home” were captured on road trips Burgess made between 2012 and 2018. For the photographer, road trips act as a means of exploring the cultural and social perceptions of loneliness. She writes, “I leaned into the irony of isolating and creating my own world while simultaneously going out on the road to search for fulfillment.”

After Arthur lost her mother in 2014, she began to drift apart from her family. Soon after, Arthur left for school at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and remained distant. After her first nephew was born, however, she felt an urge to reconnect. She writes, “These images depict a view of our new dynamics in the loss of my mother and the addition of new ties that my nephew brings.”

An image from “Concealed,” Nowrose’s ongoing project that questions the notion that women are compelled to portray themselves as beautiful. “In that path to avail beauty,” she writes, “we are made to strip off our individuality, stories and traumas.”
