The November 2025 edition of FRAMES Digital is a calm, reflective journey through landscapes, communities, and the emotional weight photography can carry.
The issue opens with Elizabeth Sanjuan’s serene winter pilgrimage through Hokkaido in Silent Snow, a meditation on childhood memory, nature, and the quiet spirituality of the northern Japanese landscape. From there, Alasdair Foster brings us into the thoughtful world of Tim Smith, whose sixteen years with Hutterite communities reveal a rare, patient approach to documentary work built entirely on trust and presence.
In one of the edition’s most impactful pieces, Gina Williams delves into the humanitarian storytelling of Roger Lemoyne, whose work across conflict zones blends empathy, complexity, and an unflinching look at human resilience. Mark Lamb adds a different kind of introspection in Future Nostalgia, reflecting on memory, legacy, and the desire to preserve today’s faces and stories for a far-off future.
The issue also features W. Scott Olsen, who offers his signature close reading of Janine Nahapiet’s Shrink Wrapped Hay Bale and interviews Sanjuan about her role at the International Photography Hall of Fame. Finally, the Community Spotlight shines on Maurizio Rampa’s cinematic, nomadic visual storytelling and Dee Kelly’s painterly, award-winning portrait series LUMINARIA.
This edition flows with quiet power — a celebration of photography’s ability to observe, connect, and hold meaning across time.
