Editor`s Choice

Today’s Editor’s Choice takes us closer to the life of Eugene Kanaev, who earned this selection mainly due to his excellent technical approach to photography, which is apparent at first sight. Every single photograph holds a different story and altogether, they create a narrative of the author’s every day experiences along with the people he met and things he had to go through, revealing a little more insight into the world of Eugene Kanaev.

6x6 photography is unusual in today’s digital age, yet it still finds a large number of supporters who enjoy searching for the right angles and composition, in order to cram everything necessary into the desired square format. The result is of specific and unusual proportions and the case of Miroslav Dušánek’s week named Return is no different. His black and white variation immediately turns heads and when we enlarge the photos, we are presented with yet another surprise – the already mentioned square format, which intensifies the experience of viewing the whole week even more. We really enjoyed browsing through this week, carefully inspecting how Miroslav’s creative moments blend with ones describing specific events from each day.

While wondering about how to characterize the weeks of Hana Gela, we simply listened to nature and let the wind whisper the answer to our ears. Yes, the best way to describe them would be the phrases airy and windy. Her last November week is no exception, overflowing with chastity and softness, so specific to her style. Hana works as a foreign language instructor and if we were to guess which language fulfills her the most, it would be French. Her weeks have the same ‘zest’ as French fashion, known for its nonchalance and emphasis on individuality.

Welcome to the dreamy week of Naďa Manková, created with the help of Lens baby. The whole week builds up a specific atmosphere as if you were reading poetry while listening to soothing music and letting yourself go into the world of dreams. Reality suddenly seems imaginary. We applaud the original approach with which Naďa documented her life, although we do have to emphasize that the most important aspect we value is content, which in this case has luckily remained unaffected.

Imagine a building at an undisclosed location in Moscow. Inside, a room that smells of paint, where the only sounds emerging are those of the artist’s indigenous brush strokes. This is exactly the scene of the first week of life documented by Olga Davydova - an artist who welcomed us to both her art studio where she paints and spends most of her time and to the world of fine arts. The atmosphere of her week is truly breathtaking.
