The Community that Wasn’t There
PhotoVogue’s Open Calls have helped launch the careers of photographers such as Luis Alberto Rodriguez, Nadine Ijewere, Camila Falquez, Kennedi Carter, Scandebergs, and Mous Lamrabat, among others, promoting their work in exhibitions, editorial features, and branded content.
The approach that guides our choices could be summed up as the meeting of ethics and aesthetics. Indeed, PhotoVogue’s mission has always been and will continue to be fostering talent, reaching historically excluded communities, and influence visual literacy to help shape a more just, ethical, and inclusive visual world.
The diversity among the artists, both in cultural background and geographic origin, as well as their extraordinary creative variety, makes PhotoVogue a natural and organic celebration of our differences. If there is something that unites most of our artists, it is that they have interjected the most important contemporary issues into their work, whether they work in fashion photography, documentary work, fine art, portraiture, or some other focus.
Driven by the desire to have a space and time for our community to meet in person, in 2016 we launched the first edition of PhotoVogue Festival: the first conscious fashion photography festival dedicated to the shared ground between ethics and aesthetics. The entire city of Milan was buzzing with photography-related talks, exhibitions, and initiatives. From then until now, the festival’s seven editions have created an opportunity for artists from all over the world to meet and engage with each other and with masters of the visual arts, strengthening the community.
