RELATIONSHIPS INSPIRATIONAL GALLERY

COMPETITION JUDGED BY MAGDALENA WOSINSKA

Magdalena Wosinska is a Polish-born, Los Angeles–based photographer whose work spans intimate portraiture, subculture documentary and atmospheric editorial work. Known for her authentic and emotionally-open style, she captures human connection with rawness and warmth.

Wosinska began photographing as a teenager after moving to the United States, first documenting the male-dominated skateboarding and heavy metal communities she moved in, before expanding into broader narratives of friendship, identity and belonging. Her images often centre on relationships – between friends, lovers, families and the communities that shape us – approached with a candid, empathetic eye.

She has published four books, has been exhibited at international galleries such as Fahey/Klein, Praz Delavallade and Webber Gallery, and has work in the MoMA Library Collection. Her work has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Wired, Rolling Stones, Dazed & Confused and The New York Times, and she counts Adidas, Converse, Goop, Ray Ban and Uber.

Across her practice, Wosinska reveals the tenderness, vulnerability and imperfection that define how people relate to one another, in doing so documenting the richness of human experience.

COMPETITION JUDGED BY LÉA THOUIN

Léa Thouin is a Paris-based photography curator and collections specialist at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the world’s leading institutions dedicated to the preservation and presentation of photographic art. Her work spans exhibitions, publications and public programmes, connecting the legacy of key figures in photography with contemporary practice.

Thouin’s close relationship with photographic archives and visual traditions makes her a perfect judge for the theme of Black & White – a practice that focuses on structure, light, timing and storytelling, and that sits at the core of photography’s history.

COMPETITION JUDGED BY JIMMY MARBLE

Jimmy Marble is a Los Angeles–based photographer and creative director known for his bold, graphic use of color and his playful approach to image-making. Working across photography, set design and art direction, his work blends pop culture, humour and meticulous visual control.

First widely showcased in his long-since sold out book “Dream Baby Dream”, Marble’s images are instantly recognisable for their saturated palettes, sculptural compositions and confident embrace of artificiality. He has collaborated with leading global brands such as Coca Cola, Nike, Tinder. LG and Apple, producing work that sits at the intersection of commercial photography, design and contemporary visual culture.

Marble describes photography as “a friend who always picks up when I call”, and that friend would no doubt be meticulously and colorfully dressed. He uses color not just as decoration, but as structure, mood and meaning – a way to enhance intention and ensure impact. It makes him a sharp and authoritative judge for a theme dedicated to colors.
