Contrast is a cooperative of photographers who share the same goal while providing different views of the world.
A distinct collective of unity and diversity.

Contrast can represent the world in a substantial way, to tell a story. A thousand words: one photograph.

Contrast is an archival treasure of images. India to Mexico; Cuba to France; Brazil to Viet Nam.

Contrast is an assignment agency. Anywhere, anytime.

Photography that captures the appearance of reality while at the same time presenting the way the people in the image perceive this reality.

Photography that tells a story of the human condition; of joy, sadness, pain as well as happiness. People's lives are continuous; photography should capture moments of this life that could otherwise go unnoticed, thereby documenting short but truthful episodes of people's lives.

Photography that uncovers the hidden layers underneath human interaction. Covering a story goes beyond just the details and the actions (facts). Combined together, images tell the roots and aftermath of any event that takes place. They tell of how these events condition the human spirit. Therefore, images of a war -stricken region go beyond the physical and architectural casualties. They somehow tell (if not foretell) the impact of the aftermath of the war.

The critical eye gains all other senses and becomes more than an eye, because it learns how to listen, touch and smell the truth and becomes a tongue to retell the story.
