Lens Magazine September 2025 Back Issue

In this month’s #UNTITLED edition, we feature fantastic photographers from around the globe.
Marco Barbera (cover image) exhibits “Stripped of Disguise,” a collection of different projects. He uses symbolic posture, shape, texture, and the interplay of shadows and light to distill the human figure to its essence. Dominique Philippe BONNET is offering a visual exploration of the afternoon. This black-and-white POST MERIDIEM series focuses on the intense, slanting sunlight that begins to shape the world with uncompromising precision once the sun passes its zenith.
Bradley Hart presents “Obeisance,” a unique project that expresses the truth carved into the grain of surfaces. His work acts as an exercise in reverence and noticing, reflecting how the body, like the world, is fleeting.
Alexandra Buxbaum presents a unique documentary project titled "Santa Claus is Real." Photographed at several Santa Claus Training Schools across the country, her images reveal not just costumes and role-playing, but a deep, personal devotion. Wendi Schneider presents her sensitive series The Weight of Light, born from the intimate experience of aging and sadness for the world’s diminishing values—its ethical erosion, loss of compassion, and widening division. John Martinotti presents explorations of the human experience, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. His fleeting moments become timeless narratives, and each image invites reflection and connection. Xavier Ponce presents his latest black and white project, Full Circle, offering a personal and visual exploration of circularity—not only as a recurring architectural motif, but also as a deeper metaphor for human rhythm, continuity, and return.
Pygmalion Karatzas presents 'Unearthed,' a selection of images taken from Metro Stations in Athens and Thessaloniki during construction and as the new lines and stations were completed and inaugurated.
