Boys in the Garden
Boys in the Garden
In my ongoing series, "Boys in the Garden," I situate my husband and two teenage sons within imaginary frames of possibility. What does it feel like for those who identify as boys and men to have only been given one story? In the space of the garden, old ideas of patriarchy give way to more generative forces, which complicate notions of gender and identity, individualism and connectedness. Scenes of transformation, fragility, and impermanence in the natural world come to mirror their own stages in life as they negotiate youth and middle age in a shifting cultural landscape. Inspired by art history, fairytale, and myth, I ask them to enact a kind of mock theater, reimagining cultural mythologies of the past while exploring their own stories as they emerge. I come to see this journey as my own, a hybrid recognition of what it means to be human.
Allison Plass is a Fine Art photographer living in NYC. She received her MA in Art History at UC Santa Barbara where she explored issues of gender and representation in European Art. She completed the Advanced Track Program at the International Center of Photography in New York in 2020. Her photographic practice is influenced by art history, the natural world, and the intersection of cultural myths and the stories we carry about our own lives. She has been featured in solo, group, and juried exhibitions in the US, Europe, and Asia. Her work has appeared in The Guardian, as the 2023 First Prize winner in the KLPA Portrait Awards and she is a 2023 LensCulture Portrait Award Finalist.

Innerland
Innerland
Innerland is an ongoing and expanding photographic archive of artists from around the world — a long-term portrait series dedicated to revealing the inner landscapes of contemporary creatives.
Each work is a portrait of a specific artist: emerging, mid-career, or internationally recognized. Through these encounters, the project seeks not only to explore psychological depth and resilience, but also to bring visibility to the individuals shaping today’s cultural discourse.
Working within her self-defined genre of Staged Documentary, Shcheglova merges documentary presence with constructed visual language. The subjects are neither staged characters nor purely observed figures; instead, they appear as multilayered beings — inseparable from their environment, shaped by it and shaping it in return.

DONT CRY FOR ME IM ALREADY DEAD
DONT CRY FOR ME IM ALREADY DEAD
This project, carried out in the spring and fall of 2025 along the U.S.-Mexico border, particularly in Arizona, aims to document the increasingly terrifying reality of the current administration’s immigration policy.
When fear prevails and people’s survival depends on concealing their identity — including undocumented immigrants, naturalized citizens, and even American citizens — it’s crucial to find a way to make them visible while preserving their anonymity. The challenge is to show without showing, by inventing a new form of portraiture that conceals the face.
While collecting material evidence abandoned by migrants crossing the border in the Sonoran Desert — backpacks containing all their belongings, left behind when they meet up with "coyotes", traces of their journey, and evidence of the hardships these people endure — the composite image gradually took shape.

Still lives
Still lives
The photographs are a part of a project which I call "Still lifes". Spring 2020 I started the projekt and it is still ongoing. The overall goal with the photographs is composition, light and shadows, a whole gray scale and the material representation. I am photographing with a 4"x5" camera and black-and-white sheet film. The negatives are then digitized and the work continues digitally.

The Gamblers
The Gamblers
The Gamblers is a documentary and portraiture project centered on the workers who sustain the performance and service economies of Las Vegas. An unlikely city in an unlikely place, Las Vegas embodies the contradictions that fuel my ongoing interest in the mythologies of subculture, pop culture, and desert landscapes. This project explores a distinctly American version of ambition and illusion by focusing on the performers, casino workers, and built environment that sustain the fantasy of Las Vegas. Against a backdrop of spectacle and artifice, I consider how opportunity and aspiration coexist with decay and reinvention, and how extravagance persists alongside vulnerability in a city where "nonsense" ultimately reveals its own internal logic.

I Am Not Like Me
I Am Not Like Me
Beauty shapes the world we live in and has influenced how we see ourselves and others for as long as we’ve existed.
'I am not like me' explores the body as a stage for expression. It does not aim to condemn, but to understand what our appearances reveal about us: it’s not about judgment, being right or wrong, beautiful or not. It’s about the privilege of choice — the possibility of telling a story through one’s own body. It‘s about how people present themselves in moments when they feel most at ease, as if they’ve arrived in the version of themselves they want to live right now. 'I am not like me' is not a contradiction, but an embrace of transformation. It reminds us that identity is not fixed, but fluid, a process of becoming. Show more

It's Raining in the Room
It's Raining in the Room
It’s Raining in the Room traces the journey of an individual suspended and reconstructed between reality and imagination through a series of poetic, fragmented images.
The project emerged from the loosening of identity and life structure I experienced after returning to my hometown. In a familiar room, with repetitive routines and limited activities, everyday life became a series of dull cycles. The more stable this life became, the more anxious I felt. A sense of detachment from others and from the world beyond the door grew stronger. Show more

My photographic work weaves personal histories, memories, and emotions, blending portraiture and still life into a unified narrative. In my self-portrait series, I honor the strong, inspiring women who have shaped my life. Women in my family have always been strong figures, driven, hard workers, outspoken, inspiring, and pillars of the family. I became a photographer when most of the women I admired and grew up with were no longer in this world. Show more

Selected works (after "HESTER")
I work with female models in staged settings, to create a world without any logical flow or narrative.
I often have crazy dreams. Sometimes I try to write them down when I wake up. Although the memory is still more or less vivid, I soon realise that it is not possible to put it into words. Once it is transformed into texts, it becomes something else, something similar, but too concrete.
What I do with my photographic images is to create a world that cannot be translated into words.
They are not "dream images". I am not inspired by my dreams themselves, but only by the impossibility of describing them. Show more

Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation investigates how familiar American landscapes, monuments, and cultural rituals become sites of contemporary pilgrimage and spiritual projection. The series explores contemporary image culture, and examines how everyday places — whether encountered through travel, folklore, or digital circulation — carry traces of collective longing for connection, meaning, and ritual, revealing a shared yearning for a contemporary sublime.
Lamb creates digital collages utilizing a plethora of social media photographs from the most-tagged locations in each U.S. State. In her experimental practice, Lamb reimagines and recontextualizes ubiquitous source material from publicly available archives into unique works. She translates these collages into photographic glass plates, known as ambrotypes, by employing an analog wet-plate collodion process. The resulting images are backed by gradients derived from colors in the source photographs, and appear as seamless scenes from afar, but dissolve into glitches, layers, and ghostly echoes upon closer inspection.

Open Hill
Open Hill
Open Hill is a photographic project set in the upland farming landscapes of the Elan and Claerwen Valleys in Mid Wales with a tenant community of farmers still working on horseback. These landscapes have been shaped over centuries by open hill sheep farming and more recently by water infrastructure, conservation policy, and climate-driven ecological stress.
Zillah Bowes is a multi-disciplinary artist with a practice in photography, film and writing. With a spiritual enquiry around climate change and biodiversity, her work frequently explores the relationship between the individual and the natural environment.

June 1969
June 1969
This work originates from a small family archive: the wedding photographs of my aunt Ina. Images that belong to the familiar grammar of domestic photography — the bride, the bouquet, the gathered relatives, the ritual gestures of a celebration meant to mark a beginning.
The work takes shape through a simple and radical gesture: accumulation. The photographs are overlaid, layered, compressed one on top of another. Image after image, face after face, I try to compress the wedding day into a single visual surface. I multiply the figures, distort the spaces, repeat the gestures until they nearly dissolve. There is no air — the image does not expand, but contracts, until it produces a kind of visual implosion. Show more

Waiting Room
Skinscapes
Manhattan
"Waiting Room" is an exploration of internal dislocation, physical space, and the visceral residues of bodily presence within domestic environments. Through two large staged photographs, Dudek captures the stark, emptied interior of a bathroom, with a bathtub and surrounding walls painted in bleeding, drippy colours reminiscent of her work’s recurring motif—walls and surfaces marked by stains, organic smears, and signs of decay. These images evoke a sense of abandonment and transition, transforming a familiar yet intimate space into a site of ambiguity, tension, and internal dislocation. Show more
"Skinscapes" delves into the psychological and physical boundaries of the body, juxtaposing organic and artificial elements to explore skin as both an outer limit and an inner essence. This work addresses the concept of fragmented and compromised physicality, representing the body as abstracted and reformed into new structures. Through depictions of veins, moles, and other elements, she evokes fragility, alluding to a sensitive, translucent surface. Show more.
Manhattan is a project that investigates the complex relationship between the body and the architectural fabric of mass habitation, while delving into themes of intimacy, displacement, and inhabiting. Named after a slang term used to describe large housing estates in Poland, the project explores how modernist and brutalist architecture, often designed to contain and organise collective life, also imbues a sense of alienation and control. It seeks to develop a singular language of expression rooted in the depiction of domestic and urban interiors, oscillating between archival memory and nostalgic reflection. Show more
Born in Sosnowiec, an industrial town in the south of Poland, Mia Dudek spent her teenage years in Warsaw, before she moved to London to pursue her studies in photography. She completed her BA at London College of Communications (2012) and her MA at The Royal College of Art (2016).
Moving across media and changing home countries — from Poland to England to Portugal — Dudek developed a singular language of expression related to depictions of the domestic and urban spheres. In her practice she continuously probes the relationship between the body and the architectural fabric, while exploring notions of intimacy, identity in displacement and inhabiting. Show more

Since February 2022, Ukraine has been plunged into a brutal war that continues to devastate its cities and landscapes. Across the country, buildings stand gutted, roofs collapsed, walls torn open. Interiors once filled with everyday life are now exposed to the sky, their fragments scattered like the remains of interrupted lives.
These ruins are not only traces of destruction. They carry the memory of what once existed there. Behind every shattered wall lies the imprint of human presence: families lived here, children played, ordinary lives unfolded within these spaces. Show more
