KIMBERLY FLYNN (USA) "Se Mee" starlightartconsultancy.com/
"See Me" is a photographic series that explores the unnoticed moments of everyday life: the pauses, gestures, and fragments that often go unnoticed. These fleeting instants hold untold narratives and invite the viewer to imagine what precedes or follows each scene. In this way, the series embodies the theme of the Forestillinger | Scenarios festival: each image is a stage, a scene, a small theater where reality and imagination intertwine. Through subtle observation, "See Me" allows the public to delve into the inner worlds of others, to reflect and empathize. Shadows, reflections, and partial views of people or places create ambiguity and space for interpretation. The series embraces imperfection and unpredictability, balancing documentary and imaginative qualities, and inviting the viewer to fantasize, dream, and explore alternative possibilities. Brief gestures, transient interactions, and silent spaces become micro-narratives, staging everyday human drama. The work reflects on presence and absence, action and stillness, in keeping with the festival's invitation to explore "unknown agendas and unpredictable terrains." Everyday moments are presented as extraordinary settings, inviting the viewer to reflect on empathy, connection, and the invisible threads that shape daily life.

FRAN FERNÁNDEZ (ESP) " Doña Urraca " @franfernandezgallery
A woman walks along the Antilla promenade with her bag and crutch, where an open-air sculpture exhibition was taking place at the time. She passes in front of my camera, which I'd positioned in the hands of the sculpture, aptly named "The Photographer." The woman, subtly appearing in the allegory of the window bars and the vertical lines of her bag, seems to want to escape being captured and trapped by the camera of an immobile being—a statue that appears more alive than ever, with a clear photographic intention. Here there are two photographers: the statue, with my camera, and me with my mobile phone, photographing the scene in a playful street triangle.
M.D. ARIFUZZAMAN (BGD) "The bizarre window" jeffrothsteinphotos.com
Every year, at the end of World Youth Day in Dhaka, Bangladesh, millions of Muslim worshippers return home by train. This mass departure creates an overwhelming surge and chaos at train stations. The sheer number of people trying to board the trains is both intense and fascinating to witness. Amid the frenzy, unusual scenes often unfold: countless people rush toward moving trains, clinging to doors, ceilings, and even windows. I was fortunate enough to capture one of these surreal moments: a pair of legs were seen climbing out of a train window—an unforgettable image of human determination and desperation.
ANDREA SALTORI (ITA) "LIBERTÉ" saltoriandrea.com
"Liberté, égalité, fraternité" is a photographic and multimedia project that narrates the life, values, and ethics of the clandestine community of cataphiles and, more broadly, the Parisian underground scene. Guided by the journey of Eriz, a young explorer, we venture from the surface into a parallel world of tunnels, technical galleries, and self-managed spaces. Through his perspective and the testimonies of emblematic figures like Biscotte, Ades, and Katana, the project highlights the richness and uniqueness of this alternative community, founded on liberty, equality, fraternity, and creativity, far removed from the conventions and norms of above-ground society.

This photo was taken near Anfield Stadium, home of the famous Liverpool Football Club. These boys from a rough neighborhood in the city greeted me by throwing stones. To calm things down, I suggested we play a football match, as they often did, and that they would be the stars of the day. They then joined in the game with complete ease.

MARY CRNKOVIC PILAS (HRV) "Red Flags" themarvelsofdailylife.com/
Luckily, while I was attending a Spanish course in Valladolid, Spain, the festival of the Virgin of San Lorenzo was taking place. The whole city was decorated with garlands and flags. On this particular street, the garlands, which consisted of a series of small, triangular red pennants, cast interesting shadows on the wall. I returned to this street three times during my stay, hoping for the perfect photo, but I didn't get it. Even so, I'm glad I managed to capture this lady in a hat walking among the little red flags.
MERCUS HOLLOWAY (USA) "The Signs" m5n5d.com
We were leaving one bar and heading to another. An Oregon fog blanketed the streets. My friends were walking slowly toward the next bar. I turned around to see how far away they were and saw this scene. I quickly asked them to stop so I could take some pictures. They were in the perfect spot, in the perfect position. I took several photos, and this was the best. I love the height of the stop sign in relation to the subjects. It really adds dimension to the image. I put this image in my custom black and white setting to focus on less color and emphasize what the image is really conveying. This is my favorite photo of the series. Sierra and Haley, Lumix S5.
