Is there anybody out there? by Marco Margarucci

Is there anybody out there? by Marco Margarucci
Chaos, rumors, people, cars, trains, smiles, wars... try to stop all of this with the power of your brain! What's happened now ? Maybe no voices, no wars, no killed children anymore: empty spaces where silence, peace, absence, quietness reigns! Be quiet, don't move... can you feel the sound of absence?

Light is Everywhere by Rick Berland

Light is Everywhere by Rick Berland
To me the expression of an image is more important than the format, place, time or how the picture was taken. The photos in here are examples of my attempt to capture the moment, to create an expression of the person and the environment.

All these images were taken on a two block section of downtown Minneapolis with a point and shot camera during the past two years. All the people in these images are strangers, never met them or talked to them. Most of them had no idea I shot a picture of them.

ALEX by Christian Reister

ALEX by Christian Reister
At Alexanderplatz bizarre humor, pure joy and deep sadness are often only a few concrete slabs apart. Between 2008 and 2009 Christian Reister photographed daily life at Berlin's biggest square, where some 120,000 people pass by daily.

The result is a series of photographs, which in particular show people in a wide-angle close-up perspective. They rush to the subway, come out of the shopping mall with over-sized shopping bags, drink beer, feed pigeons, or just simply hang out. They kiss, they laugh, they smoke, they wear bulky wool hats and navel-free T-shirts, or they look longingly into the distance. Christian Reister brings into focus what remains unnoticed and yet is essential.

The photographs, in 16:9 format, dominate through their cool, "steel" color, much like film stills, which could be set in motion at any moment. The photographs convey an atmosphere that ranges from desolation to unintentional comedy. Which of the two outweighs,
lies - which the photographer leaves open - in the eye of the beholder.
