Our October 2025 edition of FRAMES Digital opens with Lauren Walsh’s deeply thoughtful essay, What She Saw: A Teenage Lens on Turkey, exploring how the “teenage gaze” challenges the traditional ways of seeing the world through photography. It’s a fascinating dialogue between generations and between gazes — a reminder that how we look defines what we see.
Alasdair Foster brings us into the imaginative world of Swiss artist Dominique Teufen, whose series Photographs of Places I Have Never Been transforms the ordinary — paper, light, shadow — into hauntingly believable landscapes.
Ruth Grindrod takes us to Ireland’s quiet edges, capturing the country’s elusive essence in light, weather, and patient observation. And Gina Williams highlights Ami Vitale’s global exhibition VITAL, where eight international image-makers remind us of what the planet cannot afford to lose.
Further inside, Jens F. Kruse’s poetic reflection Every Moment is a Disappearance turns the fragmentary nature of memory into a philosophy of seeing. W. Scott Olsen interviews Edgar Monzón about The Mayan Portrait Project and contributes a meditation on The Drummer by Tom Deleenheer. Howard Grill closes with a provocative essay on The Devaluation of Landscape Photography, asking what remains meaningful in an age of visual overload.
It’s a rich, layered issue — one that celebrates both the enduring and the evolving ways we see.
