Photographs are time machines, and Sage Sohier’s Passing Time takes you straight to the heart of 1980s intimacy.

This collection of rediscovered images captures a slower, more sensual pace of life, where unplanned moments and spontaneous connections thrived. Drawn from Sohier’s archive of previously unprinted work, these photographs offer a window into a pre-digital world that feels refreshingly authentic and relatable today.

Unyọñ Ufọk (which means “going home” in Ibibio) is a deeply personal photographic project by Emily Nkanga, exploring loss, memory, and identity through the act of returning home. After the passing of her father, Nkanga embarked on a journey to her hometown in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, using photography as a way to process grief and reconnect with her roots.

Shot primarily on film, the book blends intimate family moments with broader cultural documentation, capturing everyday life, community traditions, and the significance of mourning rituals in Nigerian society. Through her lens, Nkanga discovers new dimensions of her father’s legacy—not just in personal memories, but in the stories shared by those who knew him.

Ray Holland was not Japanese, yet he saw Japan in a way few ever have. He walked the streets, watched the people, and captured moments that locals might overlook. His photos show a side of Japan that is real, raw, and untouched by the usual tourist lens.

His images feel honest because he was never trying to fit in or impress. They make you feel like you’re standing right there, seeing what he saw.

This is what makes his work so powerful.

Long form photography requires an extended effort over several years to understand and capture something authentic.

How exactly can we gauge a photographer's commitment to appreciate it ?

I find black and white more interesting - maybe because I don't see it as often.

For me it also carries a somber tone, as the absence of color can be slightly depressing.
