We reached out to nine influential voices in contemporary photography - the curators, museum directors, gallerists, writers and educators who help drive photographic  discourse today - from Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Nigeria, and the USA.
We also asked each of them which artists are currently on their radar and here we present one artist from each expert’s list.

We truly appreciate  their time, the depth of their responses and their willingness to share with both us.
