ISSUE 22 - THE LOVE ISSUE

Love is one of the most photographed subjects in the world, yet it remains one of the most personal. For this issue, we did not ask our artists to recreate a version of romance shaped by trends or expectation. We asked them to show us what love looks like through their own lens and lived experience. What came back was a collection of work that feels honest, intentional, and deeply artful. Their words carry weight, and their imagery reflects a careful understanding of light, timing, and emotion. As we curated these pages, what stood out most was the restraint. The artists did not rely on spectacle or perfectly posed gestures. Instead, they trusted the quiet moments: the instinctive hand squeeze, the soft glance, the laughter that breaks tension, the stillness between two people who know each other well. Their technical skill is evident, but it never overshadows the story. Every choice in composition and tone supports the feeling of the frame rather than competing with it.
