Dear Community ✨
Christmas is around the corner - now is the time we can reflect on what has passed and what the future holds. Many of us spend some time alone to think about our achievements, our failures, and also our resolutions for the New Year 🎄

This time also shows us the harmony in the yet sometimes supposedly divergent spheres.

Franziska shows the coexistence that happens in many layers of our world by capturing moments within reflections all over the globe in a variety of ways.

In this week's edition of inspiring keynotes, we'd like to share the precious message of Franziska Stünkels work “Coexist” with you.

At this year BERLINPHOTOWEEK Leica
presented selected latest works in the solo exhibition "Coexist Part 6”.

“We all live in coexistence all the time - in all the beauty, but also responsibility. Especially today it is so important to understand how interconnected we are" - Franziska Stünkel.

Hey, Berlin! We continue to introduce you to the amazing and incredible photographers – winners of the BBA Photography Prize 2022 .prizes. Today we will tell you about the marvelous Co**ha De La Rosa from Spain, who shared the People’s Choice Award with Kaleef Oladele Lawal from Germany.

Co**ha De La Rosa

Co**ha De La Rosa is a Spanish photographer who documents daily life, the essential. She observes her characters from the individuality within the collective, scenarios full of people where she extracts small individual moments. Her observation is based on showing others those moments that go unnoticed and are full of beauty. She feels a special attraction for elderly people since, according to her, they are full of life.

Her process is based on observing situations in an intimate and close way without attacking the moments. She uses a 40mm prime so she is very close to her characters. She usually shoots a single photograph of each moment. Colour is one of the main obsessions of this artist, always homogeneous ranges with a special attraction for the combination of red with green or blue. Her compositions are very clean and this makes her moments filled with serenity.

Co**ha De La Rosa has a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the University of Seville, Spain. She has received awards and prizes internationally ranging from the International Woman Street Photography Award 2022 in New York to the International Woman Street Photography award 2022 in India. As for plans for the future, Co**ha De La Rosa is going to continue her project: she wants to photograph seniors from different countries.

Our greetings to all photography enthusiasts! Today we continue our with a very interesting and intriguing topic: Metamarketing. Dmitro Kornilov .kornilov_ffface.me, an innovation marketing futurist and co-founder and CEO of FFFACE.ME @ffface.me Metamarketing Agency, held an interesting speech about the essential elements of the metamarketing: AR Filters, Digital Fashion, Virtual Influencers and Metaverse ✨

Together with @ffface.me we also created a booth where our guests could dive into various elements of digital art. Their booth, called "New in Reality," consisted of four interactive zones:

▪️The "Art/AR Gallery" zone was an exhibition of artwork created with the filters designed by FFFACE.ME specifically for BERLIN PHOTO WEEK.

▪️The second interactive zone consisted of 9 AR mirrors: Different filters on each of the TV and iPad mirrors allowed participants to see themselves in different augmented realities.

▪️The next zone was also sensational: four physical mannequins with semi-digital clothing. To see the effect, users scanned QR codes and pointed their smartphones at each piece of clothing.

▪️The last zone was the most staggering. Using virtual reality glasses, visitors were transported to a war-torn city, a deliberate and intended reference by the authors to the current state of war in their homeland Ukraine.

Hey, Berlin! We continue to introduce you to the amazing and incredible photographers – winners of the BBA Photography Prize 2022 .prizes. We already told you about Vincent van Gaalen , who won the first place, Olga Wagemans , the second prize winner and the third place prize winner Tim Franco .

Today we will tell you about Kaleef Oladele Lawal from Germany, who got the MPB Award from the main sponsor .

Kaleef Oladele Lawal , Germany

Kaleef is a Nigerian photographer and visual storyteller based in Berlin, Germany. His thoughts are presented through the application of face and body paint, masks and objects of cultural and traditional importance. In bringing these elements together, he creates captivating and thought provoking conceptual portraits.

He is influenced by the history of culture and customs that tie or relate to identity, the psychology of the human mind, and the environment he finds himself in. All these can be felt and seen in his body of work and in his creative process. Kaleef is also a photographer who advocates for photography as a tool for mental therapy.

New week, new post about BBA Photography Prize 2022 .prizes. We already told you about Vincent van Gaalen , who won first place, and Olga Wagemans , the 2nd Prize Winner.

Our post today is dedicated to the incredible photographer Tim Franco . Our heartfelt congratulations to 3rd Prize Winner ✨

Tim Franco , South Korea

In George Orwell’s 1984, an unperson is someone who has been vaporized, whose record has been erased. Similarly, the North Korean defectors that Tim Franco chose to portray have decided to disappear, fleeing sometimes for ideological reasons and often out of despair. The road to South Korea is dangerous and it can take years to travel across the many different borders with Mongolia, Laos, Thailand and China. Their travels are filled with the fear of being arrested and sent back to labour camps. Having arrived in South Korea, they often struggle to find a new identity: lost between their North Korea past and South Korean future.

To reflect this incredible transition. Tim Franco used an analog material that is not supposed to exist. The negative of a polaroid reveals through a series of chemical purifications, resulting often in something uncertain, dirty and imperfect. Each portrait goes side by side with the story of how and why the subjects came to the radical decision to leave North Korea. In order to retrace their trails, Franco traveled to the crossing points, aiming to capture the diversity of landscape that is the background of the North Korean defection.

Hey Berlin! We continue to tell you about the BBA Photography Prize 2022 .prizes. Last week we wrote about Vincent van Gaalen from the Netherlands and his incredible project “Absence”

Now our photo-relay goes to Olga Wagemans . Our heartfelt congratulations to 2st Prize Winner ✨

Olga Wagemans (1983), Netherlands

Olga graduated from the Fotoacademie Amsterdam in December 2021 where her thesis project was «What remains beyond», in which she explores «de-pictures» identity.

In this time of polarization and individualization, Wagemans feels called to challenge and question the identity we ascribe to ourselves and others. This identity determines to a large extent how we relate to others and the world around us.

For this project, Wagemans used a heat camera aiming to ‘de-picture’ the outer identity of people and to explore if there is a core that remains and unites all of us. In applying this technique, outer attributes such as age, gender or color of skin often disappear. When personal identity markers fall away, a universal phenomenon emerges.

Hey folks! Remember when we mentioned the BBA Photography Prize 2022? It's time to tell you about the talented, incredible, fantastic winners of this photo contest. Let's not make an intrigue... Our heartfelt congratulations to 1st Prize Winner Vincent van Gaalen ✨

Vincent van Gaalen (1984, Delft), Netherlands

For the project «Absence» Vincent van Gaalen travels to the last dark areas of Europe where the nightly darkness has not (yet) been replaced by artificial light 🌚

Amidst this darkness — surrounded only by his equipment, a tent, and some provisions — Van Gaalen photographs our human absence. Leaves, stones, water and air catch the light of the moon and stars. The deepest blacks emerge, outlines are enhanced. In this world, as darkness takes control, reason makes way for imagination. It makes us vulnerable. The landscape remains barely visible — but tangible all the more.

«Absence» is an ongoing project that Vincent started in 2022. Van Gaalen graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague in 2011. Since then, he has worked on long-term photographic projects. In his work, he studies the age-old friction between creating making and the autonomy of nature.
