FEATURE 017 — Mike Carlson @mcradson_photo His Words: “I’m a Pittsburgh-based photographer whose work explores the traces of this region’s industrial past. I’m drawn to towns and neighborhoods shaped by population loss, disinvestment, and the slow disappearance of the places that once held communities together. I photograph homes, aging industrial sites, and quiet streets as a way of looking at what remains. Much of my work is made at dusk, when the last daylight mixes with streetlights and glowing windows, giving the scenes a feeling of the past still lingering in the present.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 016 — Brad Fisher @_bradfisher_ The allure of Brad’s work is in its relatability. The small town aura nestles you into a comfy state of nostalgia. You’ve seen the ice machine outside the gas station and the old truck perpetually stuck on a snow covered street. You’ve been to that place before, even if you haven’t. My name is Brad and I live in Northern MN. Nothing but small towns around me so I just try to find interesting things or scenes in boring places. I prefer taking pics at night because one light can make a boring scene into something special. by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 015 — Mia @cornbelt Driven by a deep appreciation for the tranquil moments of rural life, Mia captures the disquieting beauty of the countryside. She shows us hand-built homes, once gleaming with life, now laying in disrepair. Are they waiting for someone who isn’t coming back? Her pictures offer a compelling narrative about a fading past and a delicate present. In Her Words: “I started taking pictures to memorialize my Midwestern, cornfield-ridden hometown before moving east. Over time, as I dragged my camera alongside me, a frequent passenger in my car, I realized how hard it is to make something concrete when the very nature of life is fleeting. I still try. And I’ve noticed that everything is stuck oscillating between what it is and what it wants to be; that rural America’s endless plains of wheatgrass, deer, dilapidated homes and occasional nothingness seem to try, too.” by @stillcurrentmag

Motiar Rahman Gazi’s twenty-one-member family faces severe food insecurity after losing their land to river erosion in Satkhira, Bangladesh. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted fishing and left his sons with few opportunities for daily labor. Scarcity of safe drinking water, food, and income has made an already climate-vulnerable life increasingly difficult. With their children frequently hungry, the family remains uncertain about when they will be able to eat a proper meal again. Dhaka faces growing infrastructural and environmental pressures as climate-induced migration adds to its already dense population. Rising sea levels, cyclones, river erosion, and unpredictable weather are pushing people from vulnerable regions of Bangladesh toward the capital in search of work and security. Many displaced families settle in informal communities, increasing pressure on housi by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 013 — Christopher Soukup @christopher_soukup Through his work, Christopher explores the tension between familiar domestic settings and eerie isolation. His scenes feel like stills from a film, prompting viewers to create their own narratives. In his words: “I am a photographer based in San Francisco.  Much of my work is in and around the bay area.  I am interested in making images that speak to the emotional temperature of the moment, how it feels to be in that space.  More specifically along the thin boundary between something calm and something more uncertain, allowing the viewer to linger long enough for the image to change as they look.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 012 — Powell May @pictures_by_powell Powell is a photographer based in New York City whose exacting structural compositions come to life through careful framing and vivid use of color. His work touches on the fractures and paradoxes inherent in American city life today. While photographing irony is notoriously difficult, Powell has the ability to consistently embed subtextual friction into frames that endure on their own striking merits.  In his words: “My work focuses on documenting the absurdity, frustration, and humor of contemporary American life from the perspective of a regular Joe. I draw inspiration from current events, pop culture, and the internet.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 011 — Dave Coyle  @dcoyle Dave is a photographer from the Pacific Northwest whose work explores using art as therapy. His atmospheric photography treats the American small-town and rural fringe not as postcard scenery, but as a psychological landscape. Recurring symbols and motifs stitch his images together creating a larger narrative that is simultaneously personal and universal. In his words: “I began my photography practice as a creative outlet while beginning my journey with sobriety, but quickly learned that the medium would become a key piece of my recovery. Shooting primarily early in the morning, I find solace in seeking emotional metaphors in my surroundings and find each new day as a clean slate.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 010 — Ximeng Tu @tu.ximeng Ximeng Tu is a Chinese photographer whose work bridges large-scale architectural and personal documentary photography. His project “Whither River Flows” contrasts the sheer momentum of rapid modernization with individuals suspended on a massive canvas, outpaced by the systemic forces reshaping our world. In his words: “This photography collection is a journey of self-discovery, a way to retrace my own growth through the act of capturing images. I began visiting every corner of Chongqing—its mountains, rivers, trees, and the pebbles along its riverbanks—attempting to decipher the connections between people, the city, the flowing waters, and my own bond with my hometown. Through photography, I try to freeze Chongqing’s “rivers” in time, yet the process itself carries a paradoxical feeling—the closer I get, the more I seek, the deeper the sense of loss becomes.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 009 — Christian Cabrera @lofihour Christian is a photographer based in Waterbury, Connecticut. His work captures the quietude of small-town America, often during twilight hours. It pays homage to a place in stasis, caught between times, often empty, and slightly detached from reality. In his words: “My work explores the quiet beauty of everyday life, inspired by the overlooked scenes that surround us. Drawn to light and the atmosphere it creates, I seek out scenes that convey a sense of solitude and nostalgia.” by @stillcurrentmag

FEATURE 006 — Jirayut Thongwatcharapaiboon @jiyut_kapoon Jirayut is a photographer based in Thailand, whose work evokes a feeling analogous to déjà vu. By capturing unique and surreal elements within an ordinary scene, his images manage to at once feel familiar while still being completely his own. The effect is disorienting: a reminder of the mystery that persists beneath the order we insist on imposing on our world. In his words: "This series is about the quiet, uneasy feeling of being somewhere familiar yet somehow distant. I am interested in moments when everyday surroundings become still and unfamiliar, as if time has slowed down. The images exist somewhere between reality and memory, where silence, isolation, and a sense of mystery turn ordinary moments into something slightly surreal." by @stillcurrentmag
