In the March-April, 2017 issue of Creative Image magazine, we explore the intricacies of not just the act of photographing female but, the photographs that portray women in vivid lights. It pans over ideas and expressions of femininity, of effeminacy, of identities and roles held on to by women in the contemporary world. This issue revolves around the subject of age and sexuality through personal storytelling approaches by photographers from different cultures. This issue brings forth the visual poetry of Inge Morath, which she made out of people and their places over half a century. We also preview the upcoming Focus Photography Festival, Mumbai, which explores Photographing the Female as their theme. This feature in the issue also throws light on photographers like Poloumi Basu, Rania Matar, Sara Zanella, Prarthana Singh, among others, and their work on women, through conceptual, documentary and environmental portraiture and stories. Photostory by Abdollah Heidari, I want my Face, portrays the plight and helplessness of Iranian girls as victims of school blazes which aren’t uncommon in Iran. The special feature showcases photographs of women from everyday life, from various parts of the world by various photographers like Masoud Gharaei, Zacherie Rabehi, Ashoke Ghosh, among others. A poignant photo book by Russian photographer Alexandr Chekmenev, along with an Artist On Art coloumn of Francis Newton Souza’s work also secure a feature in this issue.
