See, read and understand the language of photographersWhy don't we read the photographers' words to keep ourselves busy?

In the first part of the journal she will hold regularly during the COVID-19 crisis with one image, one text and one song, New York based photographer Gaia Squarci describes how the American megapolis prepared itself to its closure, in a nearly apocalyptic atmosphere.

Faced with cancelled exhibitions, festivals, and commissions, the entire profession is feeling the impact of anti-Covid-19 measures. We have gathered testimonies from photographers, who are on lockdown and anxious, but adapting and keeping up good spirits.

With On That Day, photographers are invited to tell the story behind one of their photographs. Today, photographer Tod Papageorge tells his 1977 New Year's Eve story.

A new space wholly dedicated to photography just opened in Hong Kong this past February: it’s called f22. The inaugural exhibition showcases the Mexican photographer Armando Salas Portugal who spent over forty years photographing the dreamy, colorful structures designed by his friend Luis Barragán.

The Barbican’s Masculinities: Liberation Through Photography explores how masculinity has been experienced, performed, coded, and socially constructed in photography and film since the 1960s, and brings together over 300 works from 50 pioneering artists.

Blind's goal is to support photographic creation and invites all photographers to submit their portfolios. Send them to us at the following address: [email protected]
