- The buzzing, rapidly changing face of Angola’s capital is beautifuly captured in frozen, cyanotype moments of mellow, jazz-like blue.
- What is photography but a split second, a moment of instantaneous perfection snatched out of the stream of time? Our editors select two dozen frames that encapuslate the medium’s enchanting, frozen magic.
- Street photography, that perfect intersection between chance and attention, luck and vision. In the words of a master, “it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
- “This work is my self-defense system against the invasion of my field of vision by the ‘made-up image”—an impassioned and critical examination of how today’s endless flow of mass media destabilises our basic perception of reality.
- Inspired by the visionary writings of sci-fi geniuses and fascinated with the possibilities of chemical-based photography, this London-born artist wanders the streets of his home, capturing the metropolis’ ever-changing faces.

- Beautiful and masterfully created self-portraits of camouflage; an examination into our search for self. In the artist’s words, “The mystery of identity is never fully resolved. We are always from a time and place to which we can never return.”
- “The only joy in photography is geometry. All the rest is sentiment.” The frame of the camera, through its selectivity and focus, offers us fascinating insight into the (hidden) patterns of our world.
- Fragments of a virtual world co-produced by multiple individuals—these images explore the territory of France through Google Earth, showing us how new technologies have changed the way we perceive space.
- Puncturing, rubbing, piercing: the photographic medium becomes a testing ground for physical interventions, mirroring our own fraught relationship with the natural world.
- From Cartier-Bresson’s trusty 50mm to the phones in our pockets, black and white photography has come a long way and shows no signs of slowing down. Here is a selection of our editors’ favorite monochrome images from the upcoming fair.

- Images—like swimming pools—are layered with ambiguity and anxiety, constantly in flux, echoing our shifting states of mind.
