In an intimate and powerful contemplation Holfeld’s images provide access to a new look at the built legacy of University College Dublin; deconstructing the elemental components of architecture, transforming the rebar, concrete and stucco of its buildings to change the way we think about the structures themselves. Commissioned by the University (Ireland's largest and first since Ireland gained independence from the UK), Conveying Space chronicles the last fifty years of iconic architecture found on campus. The series not only marks the universities progress but also Ireland's.

The city is like a high-tech macro chip, and the chip is like a micro city. I tried to show the roof structure of the office building in the core financial district of Shanghai by using the drone to look down from a 90-degree aerial view. The structural pattern is separated from the context of the urban landscape and placed on a simple background, which enables the viewer to focus on the details of pure architecture and show its similarity to the high-tech chip image taken at macro, so as to explore the close connection between urbanization and integration.
The Cartuja Footbridge is a bridge that crosses the Guadalquivir River in Seville (Spain), built for the 1992 Universal Exhibition.
As a publicist, I specialised in the creation of logos and corporate identity manuals, creating simple and geometric designs. Now focused on minimalist photography, my work seeks to provoke a strong visual impact that attracts and captures the viewer's attention, transporting them to unique scenarios, making them an accomplice of my thoughts and feelings and enveloping them in an atmosphere that travels from the figurative to the abstract.
The Verzasca dam, Switzerland, is 220 metres high by 380 metres in length. It was built between 1960 and 1965. The reservoir feeds a three-turbine hydroelectric power station, which generates 220 GWh of energy a year. The site became famous as it was used to film the opening jump scene in the James Bond movie “GoldenEye” (1995). From afar it looks like every other mega structure. But from closer and different angles, someone can witness very interesting shapes and patterns.
The Italian war memorial at El Alamein-Egypt, was built to be a war cemetery, museum, and memorial to the Italian soldiers who fought at the two Battles of El Alamein in World War II. From this reverent place, I took this shot expressing my feeling of great respect for death and memory
Already photographed by everyone, now also by me... This place has been on my list for a long time and for me as an architect it actually belongs to the "compulsory program". Now I was busy in Stuttgart anyway and took the opportunity to stop by the city library on Mailänder Platz.

I am a fruit farmer. I make photographic works of the fruits I grow. I believe that growing crops is the same as raising your own children. In my case, it is fruit. In the shadow of the fruit that is being harvested, there are many thinned branches, flowers, and young fruit. In these works, the fruits that have reached adulthood are represented as if they were human figures.
Masumi Shiohara was born in 1974 in Nagano, Japan. While growing fruit on his farm he became interested in capturing them into works of photographic art, a skill which he picked up by himself. The inspiration to capture these photographically originally came when he was requested to supply fruit on a branch to a botanical artist - since then he has continued producing photographic art works of fruit on a branch.

In Lofoten, in addition to having the reputation of the most beautiful fjord in the world, the Rorbuer is also one of the local famous characteristics. In addition to self-driving to exploring and shooting beautiful scenery, I use Rorbuer as the theme very often.

Inspired with the femininity and the power of female sexuality that represent the symbolism of flowers. The delusive enchantment of a strong and at the same time tender women. So ephemeral and so real. Bulgakov’s Margarita, Dali’s women, Gogol's pannochka. Surrealism and mysticism.
There are those who crouch quietly to protect themselves. There are those who struggle desperately to grow and mature. For two years we have been like larva in a cocoon. Now wings flap. We can spread our fully-grown wings with all our might, strong and beautiful. Beauty is vitality.
"The taste is in the foreground and the product is the star". This is the credo of most (top) chefs and at the same time reflects the opinion of many foodies and restaurant critics. FOOD-iD is my attempt to deal with this motto from the point of view and with the means of a photographer. Taste is not visible, so I focus on the colours and textures that give each product its own identity. The setup is designed to support or accompany colours and textures in a converging or contrasting way.
Queen Dress. This photo was taken at Harne, Dapoli beach at Maharahstra. Fishermen generally kept fish to make it dry it is most popular in India to eat dry fish.

The Kazakh people have fostered their nomadic lifestyle for generations deep in the Altai Mountains, where Russia, China, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia converge. Many Kazakhs left Kazakhstan during the communist era for Mongolia in order to maintain their nomadic lifestyle and avoid being forced to work on collective farms. They relocated to the Bayan-Olgii Province and maintained their customs there. There are said to be 250 eagle hunters left in the region today. Family get-togethers, sheep shearing, horse racing, and wrestling are all common summertime activities.
Every Korean has been impacted by the Korean War, either directly or indirectly. Grandmother of the photographer was born and reared in North Korea's current capital, Pyongyang. She witnessed the communists dragging her father away from my family firsthand. It was her final encounter with him. Grandmother just once mentioned that tale. The photographer was astonished to learn that the Korean War is known as the Forgotten War years later. He was guided by these inquiries along the west-to-east frontier. My responses there evolved into a photography trip that was inspired by the individuals and objects left behind in the wake of the forgotten.

Clean lines and soft curves, with a neutral color palette in design, as well as the minimalist approach to modernism in architecture. The 70's are always in the corner of our minds when it comes to interior architecture and design. These landmark years have succeeded, because it's as if we were questioning them with each new idea or project in order to make the best of what they brought us. With this picture let's remember those "crazy" years.

Photograph of children working as migrant waste-pickers who showed photographer Payal Kakkar their way up the burning landfill. Children of untitled migrants lose their childhood to the landfill because they spend it chasing shattered glass bottles down the rubbish mountain and learning to pick out plastics with a high resale value at a young age. Due to a severe heat wave that caused temperatures to rise to 118 degrees Fahrenheit, the Bhalaswa landfill in Delhi has been intermittently burning for three months. The image emphasizes the need for immediate climate action as well as the negative association that waste pickers have with landfills.
The photographer, Peter Zarkob, routinely goes across a bridge from which this picture was taken. The dramatic contrast of the image, the movement, and the geometry of the rowers' scenario constantly drew his eye. Additionally, this sporting activity enables him to record special moments that exemplify the principles of sport: effort, resilience, and tenacity.
As a publicist, Zarkob specialized in developing corporate branding guides and logos using straightforward geometric shapes. His work, which is currently centered on minimalist photography, aims to elicit a strong visual impact that draws the viewer in, holds their interest, transports them to unusual settings, makes them an accomplice of my thoughts and feelings, and envelops them in a setting that shifts from the figurative to the abstract.

It is where her father was born, and in 1945, when her mother was nineteen, he returned there for the first time. Now that they no longer live there, Bach goes back on her own to the same desolate locations they previously called home.

Lucia Drietomská, the photographer, and her friends finally got together during Easter after the covid. They came across a lone white tree in the center of the city while leaving one photo shoot. She put on the brake and sped up to the tree because they hadn't had any snow that year and she wanted to photograph her friend's border collie dressed in white. It was impossible to resist the snapshot of the merle collie girl with blue eyes and white flowers, and so this enchanted image was produced.

"The taste is in the foreground and the product is the star". This is a common (top) chef tenet that also sums up the views of many foodies and restaurant reviewers. Mxprivé's attempt to address this credo from the standpoint and with the tools of a photographer is FOOD-iD. He concentrates on the colors and textures that give each product its unique identity because taste cannot be seen. Converging or contrasting colors and textures are supported or accompanied by the set-up.
The emphasis is on shapes and structures, light and dark, sun and shade, and everything is in black and white. Deep interpersonal connections and a constant, intense gaze at the changing surroundings are the sources of Marc Apers' images. He chooses the setting, how he experiences it, and the emotion that will appear in the final photograph. Apers inevitably alter the environment's and emotions' complexity to varying degrees, for example by creating a solid geometric structure and upholding thoughtful symmetry.
Nico Valsangiacomo discovered a little, somewhat obscured river with a vivid crimson hue while trekking in the Swiss Alps. He went to look right away, and sure enough, the river was red. However, the river's bottom, which was coated with red algae, provided the color, not the perfectly translucent water, which gave the sight its striking and unsettling qualities. After taking a few shots with the camera, he considered how the scene would look from above. He then got my drone out of my backpack and started taking pictures with it.

The ephemeral geometries of the shadows, sometimes complex, sometimes simple, have always had a very special allure and attraction; the protagonists of the scene are the shadows, able to liberate the imagination, creating surreal and impalpable images, made of "darkness" of absence with a suggestive effect of visual ambiguity: the subject is outside the frame but yet it is inside the scene!
The dancers dove into the water while dancing elegantly while donning stunning dance attire.

A freshwater lake called Inle Lake (Burmese) is located in Myanmar's Shan State's Nyaungshwe Township in Taunggyi District (Burma). The iconic image of Myanmar's Inle Lake is a leg-rowing fisherman. Leg-rowing is essentially an Intha traditional method of fishing. The leg-rowing technique is still used by traditional fishermen, who stand at the stern and grab the boat's hull with one foot while wrapping the other leg around an oar. The fisherman will use conical-shaped nets that they submerge in the lake to catch a limited number of carp.
The photographer intended for summer 2020 (in Sardinia) to be the first summer when Covid 19, the virus that has brought the world to its knees, had to be dealt with. Because there was a chance that the second wave may occur, it had to be the summer of caution and distance. Sadly, such was not the case. Despite the staggering number of fatalities and the graphic pictures broadcast on television, the initial caution was gradually replaced by a longing for freedom, which eventually led to complete disregard for the law. Today, the infection appears to be spreading.
