Migration and tourism: Crossing for different reasons

by
Belgium

Reflective chronicle set in a Brussels reception centre, built around a sharp ethical contrast between migration necessity and tourism marketing. Strong sensory setting, nuanced refusal to villainise tourists, and a clear decision to “make the dilemma visible” rather than moralise.

Through the Lens: Thimphu Tshechu

by

By Sam Rippon I found myself reflecting not just on the mechanics of taking a good photo, but on the intention behind each frame.
