Located in the starkly beautiful setting of theBlack Rock Desert, the Burning Man festival at-tracts some of the most interesting and extraor-dinary people, art and activities you are everlikely to find in one place. Burning Man trans-cends traditional interpretations of what a festi-val is. It has its own identity, its own peculiarand astounding nuances. It represents morethan just a week in the desert: It represents away of life. A central feature of the festival isthe building and burning of a temple.
The Temple in many ways is the spiritual hub of thefestival. People visit and write messages for departedloved one’s on its walls and meditate in its centre.
They grieve. They marry. They party. The festivals climaxsee’s the Temple being burntand with it the grief that people have shared within its walls.These Burning Man photos are a documentary in pictures ofa week at the Temple that share the narrative behind itsconstruct, its being and its ultimate destruction..

I´m Dina Oganova (Aka DIKARKA) what means “wild girl”in Russian.. Freelance documentary photographer .I was born and grew up in Tbilisi / Georgia (Former USSR)Its amazing country with amazing people around. Im 26 andim ill with photography .
How did you get interested in photography?
I always have very boring answer to this question. Since mychildhood I always wanted to be a film director, even when Ifinished school I moved to Russia to study there, but some-thing change and I had to come back in Georgia. Absolutelyby chance I met my first teacher Yuri Mechitov ( He is veryfamous photographer in old USSR Countries. He was a stu-dent and private photographer of famous film director SergeyParajanov) and after that my life changes. I realized that pho-tography have some magic and was totally in love with it andstill continue to do it.
Have any artist/photographer inspired your art?
I think a lot of people and a lot of things inspired me and willinspire all the time, because without it…its impossible to be.When I seeing Andrei Tarkovsky’s movies ,when Im readingDostoevsky, when Im looking at Vermeer- Modigliani’s pain-tings, when Im with my people, I want to do, I want to do so-mething more when Im doing now and its super feeling.

Could you please tell us anything about your techniqueand creating process?
It depends what u are interesting of …Technique….I alwaysuse nature light. I love film, but its very expansive and evenin Georgia u cant find it anymore, that’s why its big problemfor me , my friends brings it for me from other countries orwhen im abroad im buying it. But I also take digital. It de-pends on the project, it depends on mood ,I always try tochange something.Sometimes I don’t want to go out, im sitting at home readingor watching something and immediately something changesin u. U understand that u have to go out because some frameare looking for u and u have to meet it and when its “done” Ialways make fun of it and saying “Taken with love”. Its verystrange and I really cant explain with words..U have to be inlove.
Describe your ideal photographic situation
Interesting question. I never think about ideal situation, be-cause I have no idea what “ideal” mean. At this moment willbe very simple..Morning sun and all my lovely people around.
How much preparation do you put into taking a photo-graphy?
Its up to project and my personal feelings…Sometimes I needsome hours, sometimes one day and sometimes I need a lotof months . If I’ll speak about my last project in which Imworking now…it was more than one year.

DINA OGANOVAWhat’s your useable-to-unusable ratio when you reviewimages from a shoot?
I never delete something, im just “sending” them to archive,because sometimes u can find amazing photos after years.
What quick advice do you have for someone who wants toimprove his or her photography skills?
Read a lot of books and not only about photography, watch alot movies, listen music, spend time with people u are inte-resting of, travel a lot . Look to classic photographers worksall the time, watch what new interesting young generationphotographers are doing and never, never try to meet your fa-vorite photographer and just be in Love!.
From time to time many photographers find themselvesin a creative rut or uninspired to shoot. Does this ever hap-pen to you and if so how do you overcome these phases?
Maybe im too young now for it, to have such “problems”.
What future plans do you have? What projects would youlike to accomplish?
Im doing handmade books with limited addition of my lastproject about new generation in Georgia “My Place” andworking now on a very serious, sensitive and hard project .I really have no idea when I’ll finish it… its very importantfor me and for my main characters ,that’s why at this moment,this is the only one project about what my mind can think butone day ( hope it will come )) ) I want to do project about myfamily, my personal project, but now im not ready for it ,Idon’t want people to know my story.

RYOTA KAJITA
This series, Ice Formations, captured ice pat-terns appearing on ponds, lakes and river in thebeginning of winter around Fairbanks, Alaska.The photographs were taken over the past fouryears with a medium format film camera, whichallows me to capture delicate details of the ice,and this is an ongoing project. Many of these arefrozen bubbles of gases like methane or carbondioxide trapped under ice. When lake and riverwater freezes, it turns into ice slowly from thesurface and traps the gases.
The bubbles create unique geometric patterns. Theactual diameter of the ice formations in my seriesis about 10-30 inches (25-75cm). Because methane
gas is considered as one of the fundamental causes of gre-enhouse effects, scientists in Alaska are researching thesefrozen bubbles in relation to the global climate change.The window to find the ice pattern is short, because theice is quickly covered once the snow falls. The water alsoshows other beautiful patterns in fall and winter. Snowfalls on lakes and rivers, freezes, melts, refreezes and cre-ates unique organic patterns on ice. The vapor in the airfreezes as frost and grows intricate ice crystals. I want tocapture the beauty and the dynamic changes of water innature. The photographs are black and white with slighttint of colors. By minimizing colors, viewers can focus onthe elegance of the forms and shading created by cleartransparent ice and white frost.

NICOLAS EVARISTE
Nicolas Evariste, a 28-year-old photographer from theGranville region, in the Manche department, Lower Nor-mandy.
Istarted out as a photographer in 2006. From the beginning,I have preferred to work in black and white and in squareformat, in the quest for minimalistic aesthetic beauty.
I see photography as a means of expression, an escape, withpictures saying more than words. In my photos, I do not ne-cessarily seek to show things as they are, but rather to share apersonal, artistic vision of the world around us.
Nature is a recurrent theme in most of my series of photos,but I am also keen on exploring new avenues. A wide varietyof photos are displayed in my gallery.
Graphic designer and webmaster by trade, I opened my ownexhibition gallery in 2013, in Montmartin sur mer (a small vi-llage in France), to present my work.

JAVIER ARCENILLAS
The most atrocious conditions you can imagine,when living under a military tyranny ruling thecountry, as in Burma –a country closed to foreignjournalists– can be seen at Kutupalong refugeecamp.
We are talking about the Burmese group most crushed,the victims of the worst injustice, about all the suffe-ring inhabitants of that beautiful and sinister country.
They are named the Rohingyas and the fact that they considerworth the effort and the risk to flee to Kutupalong says it all.First, because Bangladesh is not exactly El Dorado.
It is such a densely populated country and so poor, that wereUK to similar economic conditions, it should have a populationof 550 million and an average income not half of which a en-glish has today –during the worst recession in living memory–but the twentieth part. Secondly, because Kutupalong camp isa kind of limbo of homelessness, particularly for the major seg-ment of its inhabitants, who –for political reasons difficult torationalize– do not have the support of the United Nations HighCommission for Refugees. People here exist but do not live.They breathe, sleep, eat but they lack the concept of a betterfuture and the human dignity that the concept involves.

DANIEL ALI
Earlier this year I travelled to a sleepy fishingtown called Nou on the north coast of Japan tolearn about sumo culture and the training ittakes to become a champion in Japan’s most no-torious martial art. With the journey taking meacross country through the Japanese Alps ex-changing modern bullet trains for clunky localtrains it felt as if I couldn’t be any further fromthe dazzling lights on the streets of Tokyo.
The origins of sumo wrestling date back over 2000years with it’s rituals and traditions firmly rootedin Shintoism and with Japanese mythology accre-
diting the existence of Japan to the outcome of a sumobout between gods. Sumo champions are huge celebritiesin Japan and are given the upmost honour and respect.A daily rigorous lifestyle must be upheld in order to pre-pare oneself for bouts that can be won or lost in seconds.

Paterson (2009 – 2014), documents residents ofa post-industrial city in New Jersey during theyears following the economic crisis. Paterson isa historic city near the Great Falls of the PassaicRiver, once prosperous from its mills and silk ma-nufacturing industry. Founded in 1791 by Alexan-der Hamilton and others and envisioned as thenation’s first planned industrial city, Patersonoffered jobs and opportunity to an immigrantlabor force in the 19th and early 20th centuries,and it was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
The city is the setting of novels by John Updike andJunot Diaz, and has inspired the poetry of WilliamCarlos Williams and Allen Ginsberg, as well as the
architectural photography of George Tice. The third lar-gest city in New Jersey, Paterson began to decline econo-mically during the 1960s and 70s, and has continued toface high rates of unemployment since the recession. Theportraits focus on the self-expression of working-classand economically marginalized Americans of the diverseracial and ethnic groups comprising Paterson’s popula-tion. Shot in natural light on the streets with a medium-format camera, each image explores the psychology of anindividual who reveals him or herself willingly to the ca-mera’s gaze. The minimal backgrounds suggest theurban environments these subjects occupy; however,these straightforward, realist, and classically composedphotographs concentrate on faces and the depth ofhuman experience that is spoken through them. Theseportraits contribute to a contemporary dialogue aboutthe current economic reality and the experiences of Ame-ricans who exist on our ever-widening margins.
