Joana Dionisio (b. 1993) is a Portuguese visual artist based in Porto, where she works as a freelancer on various commissioned and personal projects.
Having first studied Audiovisual Communication Technologies, she completed a Master's in Artistic and Documentary Photography in 2021 and started a PhD in Contemporary Art in 2024.
Joana has exhibited her work in a range of solo and group shows. She was selected for FRESH EYES 2022, a publication showcasing emerging European Photography Talent by GUP Magazine, belongs to the FUTURES New Talents community, in 2024 won the Novos Talentos Fnac contest, and in 2025 was one of the 10 nominees for the Women In Art Fellowship.
Joana’s practice is rooted in the exploration of memory and time.
At the core of her creative process is a narrative construction shaped by autobiographical intention. She delves into her own memories, documents, and personal artifacts, using them as vessels to bridge the temporal divide between past and present.
Through this lens, she investigates the connections and tensions between individual experiences and collective human struggles, reflecting on how personal histories contribute to a shared understanding of the human condition. Her practice invites the audience to contemplate how individuals relate to themselves, to one other, and the broader world, often challenging them to confront the balance between permanence and impermanence.

Emanuel Constantino (b. 2002), Portugal, is an independent photographer currently living in Porto. He has a degree in Photography from the School of Media Arts and Design in P.Porto. He is currently attending the Master's Degree in Cinema and Photography - Specialization in Photography - at the same institution.

His main focus of research and authorial creation falls on the universe of documentary and fiction, in their various intersections and interactions. He seeks to understand and manipulate the boundary at which documentary ceases to be documentary and begins to assert itself as fiction, and vice versa, in his mix. Vernacular and archive photography are also areas that he explores and approaches, usually integrating them into his projects.

He has exhibited at the Portuguese Center of Photography (PT), CEFT - Casa dos Cubos (PT), Galeria da Estação - Encontros da Imagem (PT), IPMA Festival in Kaunas (LT), Belgrade Photo Month (SRB). He won the CEFT Open Call in Photography and Territory in 2024 (PT), was selected as a New Talent at Belgrade Photo Month (SRB) and was nominated to join the FUTURES Platform in 2025 - European Photography Platform - as a new talent, by the Porto Photography Biennial (PT).

Gillian Neumann is a self-taught photographer based near Hanover. Her journey with photography began in childhood, when she bought her first camera and discovered a passion for capturing moments through her own lens. During her graphic design studies, she deepened her understanding of visual storytelling and began exploring personal projects that shaped her artistic voice. Her natural sensitivity guides her to document intimate moments of motherhood, family life, and human connection.

Through her camera, Gillian processes the world and her emotions, transforming feeling into imagery. She finds her deepest inspiration in light, flowers, water and the delicate play of shadows. In the smallest details and close crops, she discovers quiet gestures and fleeting moments filled with truth and tenderness. What she photographs is what she loves, and that love fills her heart and her art.

“The world holds more than meets the eye” she thought, and began creating altered realities through her lens.

Ioanna is a 24-year-old multidisciplinary visual artist from Athens, Greece. From an early age, she started using the camera as a window to her imagination, something that later on
made her study Audiovisual Arts at the Ionian University.

mediums and materials of visual language, including video, graphics, digital and analog photography.

My name is Odysseas Tsompanoglou, also known as sebuku. I studied mechanical engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, and I completed my master’s in industrial management in June 2023. Last year, I was part of the program CRITICAE on documentary photography at PhMuseum under the supervision of Taura El Tantawy and Max Pinckers. I am a master's student at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) in the "Photography & society” program, and participate in the Yogurt Lab on Documentary Photography under the supervision of Caimi & Piccini (class 25/26). I prefer using the Instax type of film because I love the risk, the unpredictability, and the adrenaline of having only one shot to depict my feelings each time. At the same time, I like expanding the possibilities of outcomes within a very restrictive medium (Instax cameras), questioning ideas such as post-truth, time, and the nature of the medium itself. Additionally, I love analog point-and-shoot cameras, thanks to their aesthetic, color, and ability to capture movement and emotions.
The main concepts around my artistic practice are:

Human Emotions and Photography as Expression – Exploring how photography conveys emotions, how a sequence of images can take on a poetic quality, and how we can develop a visual language that stands on its own.
Documenting the Young Greek Generation and Their Struggles – Sebuku, as an artistic persona, emerged from this concept as a way to challenge traditional notions of authorship. Sebuku is not just me; it is a collaborative entity. Additionally, the Instax medium serves as a signature of this practice.
Truth, Perception, and the Role of Photography – I am fascinated by how photography has historically been used as evidence, a representation of truth. My work seeks to challenge this notion, questioning what is real and what is not.
Political and Philosophical Themes – Addressing issues such as acceleration, the society of spectacle, city planning, and the impact of overtourism.
Creating an Open Dialogue with the Public – Exploring new ways of photographic presentation to foster engagement and discussion. Try to experiment with how the public can interact and create a collective new work from the first one.

Janine Oswald is a documentary family photographer based near Hamburg, working with both digital and analog formats to tell quiet, honest stories about connection, growth, and everyday life. She describes her work as “capturing moments for eternity,” portraying delicate childhood moments, lively family life, deep bonds, and the sensitive, transformative experience of motherhood.

Driven by a deep desire to capture fleeting, raw, and authentic moments, Janine believes that the small, often overlooked details of family life hold the deepest truths about who we are and how we love. Her photography is shaped by motherhood and her life in the countryside near Hamburg, where nature, silence and open spaces continually inspire her creativity and draw her back to her artistic core. She is drawn to the in-between moments - a glance, a pause, a gesture and the emotions that lie beneath daily routines. For Janine, the world is a collection of stories waiting to be told and brought to life through photography.

Francesco Serra was born in 1995 in the province of Catania, on the slopes of Mount Etna. In 2021, after attending the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Catania, he moved to Rome to attend the Officine Fotografiche photography school.
His photography is deeply influenced by his roots, but also by his humanities studies and multidisciplinary approach. His gaze focuses on aspects that are often intimate but not disconnected from the social and anthropological context: photography as a means of personal expression and self-analysis, but also as a tool for exploring the socio-cultural fabric.
Francesco Serra is currently working on Isula, a long-term project that offers a constant reflection on his native island, Sicily.

After graduating from law school, Catia Simões (BRA, 1989) discovered photography as her true form of expression. Her work primarily focuses on portraiture. On the one hand, she creates intimate self-portraits, which began as a therapeutic extension, and on the other, she captures portraits of people close to her that resonate with her work. Using analogue photography, natural light, and deep shadows, she creates a melancholy atmosphere that defines her art.
