@alfwp here, with things coming to a close for my takeover of the Photographique Instagram, I wanted to share one of my personal favourite images from an older body of work - ‘Farther Along’.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a recent photography graduate, born in and working out of Bath. I predominantly shoot documentary and portrait images, with much of my focus often set around exploring and challenging social and political issues.

@alfwp continuing this week’s takeover with a set of images from ‘Stemming The Tide : Britain’s Knife Crime Crisis’, a piece of photographic work which sets to explore and document the root causes and impacts of knife crime within the UK.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These images were made in Moseley, Birmingham, during my visit to the family home of Joshua Ribera. Josh was attacked in Selly Oak, Birmingham, on the night of September 20th, 2013 and lost his life as a result. He was just 18 years old. His mother, Alison, allowed for me to photograph his bedroom, which has been left just as it was the day he left for the last time 6 years ago.

@alfwp here, continuing my takeover for the week!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a portrait I made of criminologist, youth violence specialist and transformational speaker - Craig Pinkney. The image was taken as part of my long-term project ‘Stemming The Tide : Britain’s Knife Crime Crisis’, a piece of photographic work which sets to explore and document the root causes and impacts of knife crime within the UK.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Craig’s ethos points towards ‘bridging the gap between academia and the streets’, and by delivering interactive workshops and bespoke training both locally and internationally, Craig has developed a worldwide reputation as a highly trusted and qualified mentor in strategic gang exit work and mediation.

The winner of the best series category in The European Photoawards is Panos Charalampidis and Mary Chairetaki with 'Cornucopia'.
.
"Cornucopia” (horn of plenty), is a personal artistic research on the Lassithi plateau’s elusive identity. Lassithi plateau, situated at 840m ASL on the island of Crete, is a natural fortress with a particularly fertile land, surrounded by mountains. First inhabited during the Neolithic age, it became a major cult place of the Minoan civilization. This rich land, which has nourished the inhabitants of Crete for centuries, is the same place that according to the myth, Zeus was born in a cave and according to another myth is the bridal bed of Europa. The plateau, similar to other Greek rural areas, has been under economic stress long before the generalized crisis. Young people are fleeting away, and the population is shrinking. Being part of a continent that gallops towards an unknown future, we investigate the contemporary imagery of a lost link, that is part of the core mythology of Europe, seeking the possibility of the existence of a place’s resilient identity, that can only be found on the verge of the imaginary. As reflective practitioners, we persistently confront our experiences of this place, while shaping an unintended path that is open to interpretation.

The winner of the best portrait image in The European Photoawards is Patrick Junker!
With this photograph from '3804 Days'.
.
Already 26 years before the founding of the European Union in 1993, the first organ was carried across the border from Belgium to the Netherlands. For the networking of transplant centers, the foundation "Eurotransplant" was founded in the same year 1967. Today, about 7,000 organs are transplanted annually between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia. One of the 136 million people living in the member states of Eurotransplant is Gerd Kuck. In 1991 Gerd Kuck was diagnosed with an incurable heart muscle inflammation. Ten years later he suffered a heart attack which forced him to live with a pacemaker with defibrillator function. Since April 2008, Gerd Kuck has been on the waiting list for a new heart. His chances were bad: He’s 1.96 meters tall, needs a big heart. With his blood type 0 positive, he competes with many patients. In 2013, he became so weak that he almost died, so the doctors transplanted him an artificial heart. He marries again, gets a daughter, builds a house. In November 2017, at 51, it becomes clear that he won’t survive with his artificial heart. At the end of 2017, 703 patients in Germany were waiting for a heart. But, in the eight Eurotransplant countries, only 548 hearts were removed, of which 250 were in Germany. With 9.3 donors per one million inhabitants, the willingness to donate in Germany in early 2018 was at a historic low. In other countries, such as Belgium or Croatia, the rate is three times higher. On the 5th of September 2018, after 3804 days of waiting, he had a transplant with success. On the 31st of October, he is allowed to return home and enters his new house for the first time. In January he started to work again.

The winner of the best landscape image in The European Photoawards is Conohar Scott! With this photograph from 'Vetta e Abisso'.
.
Vetta e Abisso, which in English translates as Summit & Abyss, is a project documenting the famous white marble quarries of Carrara, Tuscany. The title of the project is a reference to a line from Goethe’s Faust which remains, according to the scholar Marshall Berman, the pre-eminent drama on the tragedy of industrial development. The series begins at the summit of the Apuan Alps, before descending into the marble quarries, and culminating finally in the pulverisation of the rock as fragment and dust. Over one hundred marble quarries operate in the Carrara locality, and it is commonplace for illegal mining to take place in areas designated as National Park land due to the profitability of the stone. Marble of a lesser quality is also pulverised and sold as a textural agent in a variety of beauty products, such as toothpaste and face creams. Over-mining in the region is altering the micro-climate as whole mountains quite literally disappear, and for this reason mines are increasingly drilling into the Alps in a bid to hollow them out from the inside.

Congratulations to Tomoya Imamura for placing 2nd in the Best Series category for his work 'Petöfi's Corpse'.
.
'Petöfi's Corpse is the attempt to describe the Hungarian present whose post-socialist reality nourishes a new form of nationalism. After ventures of the foreign rule, the perspective of the loser shaped the identity if the country and today leads to a rediscovery and reinvention of one's own history...'

Congratulations to Deanna Pizzitelli for placing 2nd in the Portrait category for this image from her series 'Koza, Women & Other Stories' in The European Photoawards.
.
'The title describes three chapters, or projects, that I developed between 2015 and 2019. While each chapter is distinct, they are unified by recurrent themes and visual strategies. Together they move through various geographies (Slovakia, Iceland, Albania and more) to explore the emotional landscape: themes of connection, uncertainty and desire...'

Congratulations to Alnis Stakle on placing 2nd in the Landscape category for this image from his series 'Lost' in The European Photoawards.

The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, sychronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism...
