First of all, my apologies for this late post. Last week, the new contest themes were set up, and I totally forgot to publish the results on Wednesday the 3rd of August. I hope you can forgive me and please send me a reminder next time ;-)
Impressionist Photography is a genre that encourages artists to break the rules by using blurred subjects, movement and crooked lines in the creative process. The impressionist style might look complicated, but it is quiet easy to master. It is also a fun way to express yourself and that can be seen in the many great submissions.
The winners with the most votes in this contest are:
1st place: Marjan Mashhadi
2nd place: Hans-Wolfgang Hawerkamp
3rd place : Gilbert Claes
Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Impressionism'.
'Every day objects dressed in magic' is the currently running theme.
Once you start looking, you will discover photos almost everywhere. You will find there is never ever shortage of material and determining exactly what to take and you quickly have a selection of unique as well as original digital pictures.
This contest will end at midnight on Sunday the 14th of August 2022.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
If you haven't uploaded your photo yet, click here.
Good luck to all the participants.
2nd place : by Hans-Wolfgang Hawerkamp

VANISHING CUBA is a visual storytelling project by my friend, American photographer Michael Chinnici. This stunning collection of over 300 photographs depicts the changes Cuba is facing as it emerges from more than 60 years of isolation and decay.
Michael’s first 24 trips to Cuba yielded tens of thousands of photographs with thought-provoking and emotional stories and in the process, he's been able to forge several lifelong friendships. Vanishing Cuba is about capturing the past, present, and future of Cuba, and even more so, about capturing the “Soul” of Cuba. He has returned twice more since the book was published.
Michael’s love affair with Cuba and the Cuban people is clearly conveyed in this compelling and beautifully produced love letter to the island nation.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time with Michael. We’ve discussed Vanishing Cuba, compared notes on documentary and travel photography in general and we talked about what lies ahead. Having, and then compiling these discussions weren’t as easy as we’d hoped. At different points we found ourselves dealing with a variety of obstacles. Early on, much of Michael’s family contacted COVID-19, then a week later we had our own COVID quarantine and testing issues here in South China, during which the entire city I live in had to undergo daily, mandatory testing. We also faced a myriad of technical issues, conflicting travel schedules and time zone constraints. At times I wasn’t at all sure we’d be able to pull it all together. Then, just when it looked like we were about to wrap it up a full day ahead of our deadline, Michael contacted COVID-19 himself. We persevered in the end and I’m happy to share the results here today.
Mike, thanks again for being so gracious with your time to talk about Vanishing Cuba. You know, you might be the busiest guy I know…
Chuckling – It wasn’t the easiest interview I’ve ever done but we made it work. I’m happy to have been able to share this time with you.
And I’m happy to share the success of this project with everyone here. Artists should celebrate artists. This book, it wasn’t something you set out to do. You could say it naturally evolved over the years…
That’s right. I never planned on creating a book. I wasn’t shooting with a book in mind.
It wasn’t until my 20th or 21st trip and after many requests to do a book that I realized what I had created - a wonderful collection of images representative of my love for this extraordinary country’s people, culture, history, and soul.
I’m not saying putting the book together was easy, it wasn’t.
That said, photographing Cuba has never been a chore, an assignment. The photographs did come easily.
I often say, shooting in Cuba is like being a kid in a candy store.
But I know what I captured is special because I have seen so many other photographers struggle with capturing its authenticity.
One of the things I find most enduring about this photobook is that… it isn’t. What I mean to say is that you’ve painstakingly created text for every image, in both English and Spanish. It’s not just a pretty collection of images. I know you felt this was important…
I feel that documentary photography is more powerful when there’s a backstory to help support the image. This all began with Instagram posts and many people told me that they enjoyed the writings.
All art is the viewer’s to interpret. When I am at an art gallery or museum that art is almost certainly going to move me or affect me differently that it will you. However, documentary photography can narrow that gap. It can be more specific, more targeted.
It often tells a story about the person (or people), the setting, building, car, business, tradition, culture, etc. Beautifully written, descriptive text that might include facts and history can enhance the image. Including the Spanish text was indeed important. I wanted to produce the book in Spanish to give Cubans, Cuban Americans, Latin Americans and Spaniards the opportunity to enjoy it in their native language.
As a documentary photographer myself, I am always cognizant of trying to present the subject matter in a realistic way without it coming across as exploitive or denigrating. I know you took great care to compile these images in a way that, to me, feels almost poetic. To be sure, some of your depictions of Cuba are raw, but at the same time this volume is so beautifully, lovingly photographed. One can sense your admiration of the Cuban people.
I loved Cuban activist artist Leonor Anthony’s foreword, portions of which I’d like to share here…
“Since the first moment I laid eyes on Vanishing Cuba, I was visibly moved and knew I was the right person to write this foreword. What struck me immediately was the sincerity with which the images represented the authentic people of Cuba—my people, my parents, my family, my ancestors. This book was not the retouched or tourist/photobook version. This book was not a travel book made up of the regular subjects, which are hopelessly and frustratingly few—1950s cars, colorful but dilapidated buildings, and beautiful natural scenery.
These images were not taken from the outside by an outsider, like when we look at exotic animals at the zoo or unusual fish in a tank. These images were taken by someone who, although not Cuban, captured all of us in every single shot; all of it—the struggle, sadness, color, passion, resilience, resolve, and ultimately, the power to adjust to the unimaginable.
I accepted the honor to write this foreword because this is the most genuine and heartfelt representation of my people I have ever seen. This book is not an exploitation of a political situation, but an exaltation of all the textures that make up our magical island and its people.
Although the Cuba that most of us know will probably vanish, I am a living example of that special quality that makes us Cuban, which can never disappear or be taken away. Our spirit is made up of our personal struggles and a mixture of all our common ancestors—the Siboney, the Europeans, and the Africans—that live on in every colorful cell in our bodies, for all time.
Thank you, Michael Chinnici, for finally seeing us.”
I mean, when you read something like that you must surely know you’ve accomplished something of what you set out to do, yeah?
Well, when I first read Leonor’s foreword, my eyes welled up with tears before I could finish and I cried the following few times I read it. I think the reason for the intense, emotional reaction was just that. I thought to myself, “Oh my God, she gets it.” Through my photos, she could feel my feelings. I knew then that I had accomplished something very special.
I think the poetic nature of the book comes from my connection to the Cuban people. When there is love, there is magic. Wouldn’t you agree?”
Sure, but I think you have displayed that love better than most could or have. It’s just not that easy!
What is it about the Cubanos? How do you think it came to be that you are so viscerally connected with a people… a place?
The Cubanos are glass half full characters with half-empty glasses. They have faced struggle, revolts, unrest and repression and yet the people of Cuba are resilient, hopeful and full of soul. I’m no longer surprised but I’m still humbled when Cubans welcome me into their communities and their homes as a friend, without any hesitation.
Your subtitle is, “CURATED PHOTO STORYTELLING COLLECTION”, which is certainly apropos for 1X and our curated format here. I can only imagine the work involved in culling your selections… did you get input from others or did you do it all yourself?
You know I actually struggled a bit with the subtitle because on a certain level all photobooks are curated, aren’t they?
Those four words, “CURATED PHOTO STORYTELLING COLLECTION” leave no mistake as to what's inside. I wanted to intimate the time and care that went into selecting the photographs. In the end I didn’t ask for any outside opinions or feedback because I felt like I had a good handle on how I needed to portray Cuba and Cubans. I was so close to it. Now, I did get my wife involved in the process. So much so in fact, that for about a month we literally lived with these photos. They were printed and displayed on four big walls I erected in one room of our house. Over that month we were culling images and shuffling and re-shuffling the order.
You spared no expense in the production of your book. Three levels, or editions, all with museum quality printing done in Italy. Why was that important?
The objective was to produce a book that creatively, emotionally, and historically would last the test of time. To create a handcrafted book that spoke quality and beauty from the moment you laid your eyes on it, to the moment you held it in your hands and turned the pages. I chose the finest quality paper, printing and ink process, as well as bindery and finishing. Italians have a long-standing reputation for superior craftsmanship when it comes to papers, fabrics, and attention to detail, whether it be art, books, or exotic sports cars.
The book is available at Barnes and Noble, The Getty Center bought the deluxe edition. Notable libraries across the world have bought the book for their collections, including such prestigious universities as Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Cambridge, Vanderbilt and Columbia. The list goes on. Did you ever imagine this would happen?
No, never. I certainly never thought about the libraries. I guess, in hindsight, when I think about the effort I put into the writing, combined with the fact-checking and thorough attention to detail regarding the quality of the content, I can now see why there has been so much interest. The book has only been available to the general public and institutions for a little more than four months. When word gets out about the quality of the production, I’m hopeful more universities will buy the book for their reference libraries.
For those who are interested, you can order the book here : https://vanishingcuba.com
I’ve not had the opportunity to hear you speak about the approach to documentary photography that you call, “Evoking Emotion”. Before we wrap up I’d like you to tell us a little about that philosophy?
Well, basically, I believe that every photograph we create should evoke emotion. Realistically, that’s not always true nor even possible, especially considering the number of digital photos we take. But it should be the objective. Always.
A great photograph stops people in their tracks and gets them to say, “Wow.” Causes them to gasp, smile, maybe even shed a tear. This powerful reaction is what I call “Evoking Emotion.” Just look at our own best images. You will find that they all evoke emotion to one degree or another.
I don’t think it’s a matter of one situation being better than the next. Each unfolds in its own way. When there are no words spoken, it’s the respect and trust that drives the moment. I’ve experienced these interactions numerous times. For me, they are the most precious and rewarding opportunities for environmental portraits.
These young men look to be as curious about you as you as you are about them. This is another instance where you had no dialogue before the shot. It was nervy to take this, they could have reacted so much differently. Do you find this "acceptance" often in Cuba?
This is the point in the conversation where I would ask you about what’s next, but in this case I already know. As we close, let’s talk some about your next project, VANISHING INDIA. We both have an affinity for India, we’ve even walked the streets of Calcutta together. You once said that, “India is like no other country in the world. It’s like experiencing 40 countries in one”, which is so true. So, when can we expect to see that volume of work?
'Vanishing India'. Yes, it’s a project that I’ve already begun exploring. To be clear, Vanishing will not be a series of titles I apply to many countries and cultures. That would be too commercial. The reason for Vanishing Cuba is apparent. After so many decades of isolation and the lack of change, Cuba will eventually explode with change, which in turn will see much of its iconic and cultural uniqueness disappear. India will change for more natural reasons.
Why the “Vanishing” title? All cultures, as we know them, will transition and eventually change or vanish. Technology especially, will be the most significant driving force behind this. When I say that “India is like 40 countries in one,” I’m referring to all the ethnic, cultural, and religious components that make up India. The thousands of different tribal and nomadic communities that shape the country of over 1.4 billion people. The following 50-75 years will see many of these ethnic groups blend into each other. Thus, the title. The book will represent a Vanishing India as we once knew it (future tense).
So, perhaps 2024 or 2025 for a Vanishing India book.
Michael, thanks again...
Always a pleasure my friend.

![]() | Kimberly CREW Thank you, I very much enjoyed this article. I've been a wave photographer for many years, mostly with surfers on them. It was nice to read a similarity in process. I laughed when you said you didn't use a tripod, so true! you need to know what you're doing when you're around waves of this size and yes, waves do come in sets, building in intensity and then diminishing until the next set rolls in. Wave dynamics is fun to learn and I regularly monitor period and swell heights. Stay safe, rougue waves are not an urban legend! |

Evgeniy Popov has developed his very own style in the category 'Modern still life'.
His work is well composed, well lit, original and renewing. He has many interesting hobbies beside photography, which is very important to him. Let's go on a journey with him and learn more about the personality behind his work.
'From the series: Light and Shadows'
I was born and always lived in Stalingrad, a big beautiful city on the banks of the Volga. I have a wonderful family, a beautiful wife, a daughter who is an illustrator by profession, and a grandson (a charming robber of ten). I design residential interiors and bring these projects to life. Besides work, I have many hobbies. I really love dance music from the 80s and have a large collection of 'disco' style music. I also collect scale models of cars. My collection contains about 500 models of Russian equipment – cars and trucks, tractors, tanks and combat vehicles, all on a scale of 1:43. Sometimes I use my collection to shoot subject compositions.
'I brought you spring!'
In addition to all this, I am fond of military archaeology and are engaged in excavations at the battlefields of the Second World War. I think everyone knows the heroic history of Stalingrad. There is no person who has not heard about the Battle of Stalingrad. In this colossal battle, about two million people, both Germans and Russians, died. Many soldiers still lay unburied in fields and ravines. I am a member of an organisation engaged to search for remains of soldiers and for transporting them to have a decent burial at the soldiers' cemetery. Over time, I gathered a whole collection from objects related to the wartime: buckles, awards, buttons, weapons elements. I also sometimes use these items in my compositions.
'I'm in charge here now'
Sometimes, when inspiration comes, I write small mystical stories on military-archaeological topics.
Along with the others, photography is an important hobby for me. I started a long time ago, back in 1976. My uncle gave me an inexpensive camera and taught me the basics of photography. At that time, photography was a very complex and fascinating process. Films, photo paper, various chemical reagents – it was all so interesting… Of course, I had no idea about composition, about the principles of frame layout, about light schemes and other tricks of professional photography. I just was shooting as well as I could and what I liked. And this situation lasted for quite a long time. In 2015, I decided to buy a good camera. Before that, I was free to use a simple miniature digital camera. I bought a decent SLR camera! As soon as I got it, it became clear that in order to use the rich potential of my new camera, I needed to learn a lot about the theory of photography. It was such an obvious thought: “I really need to go to study”. So, I went as an apprentice to one of the most well-known photographers of our city – Leonid Toprover. He didn't only taught me how to take high-quality photos, but also explained the rules of composition, and how artistic photography differs from a simple picture. I am very grateful to him, as my first teacher in the world of photography. I mastered a complex SLR camera.
Now the question arose: what to shoot?
There are many genres in photography, so which one should I choose? Or try everything in a row? It's time to experiment. I started with macro photography, but I quickly got tired of chasing agile insects. Then I tried self-portraits and I liked it more and it began to turn out well. But still, portrait has not become my main genre. Then I tried architecture and that was really what I liked as my wife and I travel a lot. I also tried still life quite by accident. I made my first compositions with the archaeological objects I found. It was unusual, and my images with helmets and grenades received positive reviews on different photo sites. I quickly realized that still life is the most comfortable style of photography. You can shoot without leaving home, the main thing is to collect the necessary and original props and to purchase at least a minimum set of lighting equipment.
This genre is not only comfortable, but also quite difficult. My second teacher, Eduard Kraft, helped me a lot in mastering it. He taught me how to exhibit complex light schemes, taught me many tricks that subject photographers successfully use.
Along with technical perfection, I was constantly improving my own style. It was not interesting for me to shoot, like everyone else, jugs and vases with flowers, I wanted to do something unusual. So I have two main directions: compositions made up of glass objects, and compositions of solid opaque objects with complex lighting. I do not seek to have some deep hidden meaning embedded in the composition, it is enough for me to harmoniously arrange my "models" and beautifully illuminate them. I carefully select objects for my works, usually 10-15 variants of the same composition with different objects are obtained, until in the end there is one, the only true, most aesthetic option. So I can say without any doubt, that to me, the technical perfection, the composition and the aesthetics are the most important. However, sometimes I have jobs in which I try to put some feelings.
'Van Helsing's Arsenal'
What inspires me the most are Artists, masters of suprematism. And of course, paintings by Kazimir Malevich: he had a huge influence on my work.
'Subject suprematism'
Ideas for compositions come suddenly. Sometimes it happens that nothing comes to my mind for two or even three weeks in a row, and it happens that several ideas appear at once in one evening. Then I run to my office, and on a piece of paper I quickly make sketches of the future composition. It happens that both the lighting scheme and the colour scheme are immediately coming up. Then these sheets are lying on my desk, waiting to be executed. I don't have much free time, so I only do photography on days completely off, and free from other duties. Those days are like holidays to me! And those days - I already can feel it in the morning – have that kind of feverish premonition: 'today I will do something interesting, unusual, maybe something that no one has done before me!'
And then, a large room in my apartment turns into a dump, tripods with lighting equipment, light-scattering and light-reflecting screens are everywhere, piles of various objects are lying in the corners, from which I create compositions. I turn on my favourite music, usually it's Modern Talking, BoneyM, or Dtschinghis Khan, and start working. At these moments, I completely forget about the time, very often I even forget to have lunch. Methodically, I put into practice all my sketches, trying to make all the compositions, leaving nothing for the next time. And then comes the inevitable moment when you have to put things in order in the room, put everything in its place, put my "models" in the closet. And after a week or two, everything starts all over…
Although I have a lot of work, subject photography is a whole world with a never-ending learning process for a lifetime. This is what I plan to do in the next eternity :) In addition, I really want to finish my project "Ancient fortresses of Russia". Russia has a little more than 50 ancient stone fortresses which are preserved. My wife's task and mine too is to see everything. Of course, these ancient walls are incredibly photogenic, and after visiting these monuments of antiquity, good photographic works remain.
So far we have seen a little less than half of all the ancient fortresses of Russia. If everything goes according to plan, in 2-3 years we will have visited all the places where the old walls and towers have been preserved. Perhaps the audience will be interested in my photos from these trips. Maybe some of them will be published even on 1X.
At the end of the story, I want to show you some of my works that I think are the most successful.
