Simone Jimena Rudolphi is a socially engaged photographer with a strong documentary thread to much of her work. For her Masters at Northern Centre of Photography, Sunderland, her exhibition series shown at Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art included 6 works based on her own ENCOUNTERS over the previous 18 months documenting moments, opportunities and conflict without losing sight of THE VALUE OF EVERYONE ; something she illustrated by obscuring the identity of people in her images by overlaying them with 23.5 carat gold. ( https://www.photosalon.online/simone-rudolphi )
She employs the camera as a recording tool as well as a universal licence to either observe or participate in moments. Sometimes those boundaries become blurred and pose challenges both for image making and for the use of images.
Beyond the main theme her work asks important question about representation, consequences of images in a global context, ownership of images and moments and the role of the image maker.
Her practice turns every moment – regardless whether happy or sad, easy or difficult – into an opportunity with endless possibilities at the heart of which rests trust in our common humanity.
Not a professional freelance photographer. I define myself as a travel-documentary-art photographer. Almost 20 years now photography has been part of my life. My passion is catching street portraits and trying to figure out my object’s character. Point of interest – traditions in primal and natural places like India, Ethiopia, Kenya, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and more. I consider good photography to be much more that a snapshot or a memory, it is something that tells a story, strong enough to influence the world we live in and raise more awareness. Throughout the years my interviews and photographs have been published in many magazines and websites.

Vanja Bučan
Vanja Bučan (1973) is an internationally renowned Slovenian photographer, who lives and works in Berlin. She graduated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague at the department of documentary photography, however, she distanced herself from the straight documentary genre after her studies, and focused on staged photography instead. Before becoming a professional photographer, she studied sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana, and actively took part in environmental activism, which is evident in her artistic oeuvre. She views photography as an open medium, a realm where she can freely express her views and critique of society.
In her signature artistic style, she alters her own photographs and places them in staged compositions in order to achieve deconstructed and multifaceted realities that generate a visually rich expression. The relationship between humans and the environment is at the forefront of her imagery.
Her work has been exhibited at several major international group exhibitions, such as: Month of Photography Los Angeles, Official MOPLA Group Show (2018); Camouflage, City Oases, NORDICO City Museum in Linz (2018); Visions of Nature, Kunst Haus Wien, Museum Hundertwasser in Vienna (2017); Plat(t)form , Winterthur Switzerland (2016) Getty Images Gallery in London (2016).
