Sometimes it’s necessary to take a deliberate step back, to pause the rhythm of making and return to the quiet discipline of reflection. Because, much like life itself, photography is not merely about what we see, but how we see; it consistently demands new ways of looking, thinking, moving, and feeling. So we did just that. We took time to research, read, revamp, and reinforce our understanding of photographic media through repetition and rigorous revisiting of the many ways critics and practitioners have tried, in print and in practice, to define what makes a photograph good.
In an age oversaturated with enthusiastic mobile creators, digital hobbyists, and AI-assisted imagery, stepping back has never been more vital. It’s an act of resistance, to refocus the eye, to refine discernment, to recognise what still possesses integrity amidst the noise. It was during this quiet, almost scholarly pilgrimage that we encountered the work of Solomon , a photographer who, with striking clarity, bridges the worlds of documentary and fine art. In a single frame, he articulates what so many of us have struggled to put into words: the rare moment where truth and beauty coexist without compromise.
What a rare pleasure to encounter photography that feels genuinely refreshing, the kind that gives the eyes a moment of gratitude, a reprieve from visual excess. In its quiet clarity, words begin to gather of their own accord, and before long, there’s an irresistible urge to write, to respond, to translate that visual relief into a random thought. Solomon Tetteh’s work pushes the boundaries of documentary and fine art photography by refusing to separate observation from interpretation. His images move beyond mere documentation; they feel lived in, yet composed with a painter’s instinct. He captures reality not as a fixed truth, but as something emotionally fluid, shaped by memory, mood, and movement.
