Moments that we see through the lens give us a gesture; a gesture that descends into the abyss of visual rhythm and harmonies through a kind of intuition. It is an expression that we experience in that very moment; put a frame around and call it a photograph, but the story goes far beyond the frame.

In this guide, we focus on revealing those stories that go beyond the frames, stories of our understanding and experiences through t...
