Black-and-white photograph of curved tram tracks sweeping through a city square towards an outdoor café. The rails create strong leading lines from the foreground, bending gently left and then right as they recede into the distance. At the far end of the square, people sit beneath a large white parasol outside an ornate stone building with arched doorways and decorative balconies. Several pedestrians walk across the square, and bicycles are parked near the café frontage. The scene is softly lit with patches of sunlight and shade across the paving.
Colour photograph of an SLR camera (Minolta Maxxum/Dynax/α-9) fitted with a wide-angle Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens, viewed from above at a slight angle. The lens features a large petal-shaped hood and a red accent ring with engraved focus and aperture markings.
Black and white photograph of the back of a black SLR camera, the Minolta α-9 (Japanese name; sold in Europe as the Dynax-9 and in North America as the Maxxum-9) resting on a light surface, with a printed label taped to it reading “ILFORD FP4 PLUS 125, 36 EXP”. Around the camera lie a partially opened box of Ilford FP4 Plus black and white film and a roll of 35mm film with its leader pulled out. Camera controls, including buttons marked “AF”, “AEL” and “SLOW SYNC”, are visible, along with a woven camera strap. The arrangement suggests the camera is to be loaded with Ilford FP4 Plus black and white film.
Colour photograph of a landscaped memorial site in a wooded setting. A stone monument with a carved cross stands at the centre, surrounded by low flowering plants and a gravel surface. In the right foreground, a camera mounted on a tripod is positioned facing the monument, partially entering the frame. A tall, narrow evergreen tree stands near the centre, and a low white wall with plaques runs behind the memorial. Sunlight filters through the trees under a clear blue sky.
Colour photograph taken from a low angle across a flower stall, with yellow daffodils and other potted flowers in the foreground. Behind the flowers, out of focus, stands the Flagey building in Brussels (formerly seat of Belgium's public service radio broadcaster, now housing the Flagey cultural centre), its rounded tower topped with a cross-shaped antenna. A Belgian flag waves on a pole in front of the building. The sky above is pale blue with scattered white clouds.
Colour photograph of a weathered building façade covered in graffiti and stickers. On the left, a pale yellow door is plastered with dozens of small stickers and tags, with additional spray-paint markings scrawled across it. To the right of the door is a large white-framed window above a small cellar window protected by a black metal grille. A large silver graffiti tag outlined in black stretches horizontally across the wall beneath the window. The surrounding plaster is stained and worn, with layers of faded paint and smaller tags in various colours. At the far right stands a utility box covered in posters and stickers. The ground is a narrow cobbled pavement typical of an older European street.
Black-and-white photograph of a modern waterfront cityscape dominated by a wave-like, curved, sculptural pedestrian bridge made of wood decking and metal railings with mesh panels, crossing over water. On the left, a wide wooden boardwalk and open promenade extend along the waterfront. Large rectangular concrete benches or blocks are spaced across the plaza-like area. In the background stands a cluster of contemporary buildings.
Black-and-white photograph of three people gathered near the base of a large stone wall in a park. Two people sit side by side on the sloped stone base of the structure, partially shaded by trees: One is wearing a dark jacket with light stripes along the sleeves and jeans, the other holding a microphone with a square mic flag, suggesting they may be conducting an interview. Facing them is a third person, standing and leaning slightly forward while holding a smartphone horizontally, apparently filming the interview. This person wears a dark jacket and light-colored jeans, with long hair falling forward as they concentrate on framing the shot. The background shows the rough stone blocks of the monument’s base, with soft, dappled shadows cast by tree branches across the wall and ground. The composition is partly framed by a large, blurred stone surface in the left foreground, which obscures part of the view, since the image is shot from behind another section of the wall. The lighting is high-contrast, with bright patches of sunlight and deep shadows produced by the surrounding trees.
Black-and-white photograph of a large brick railway or road bridge with a high central arch spanning a street below. The image is taken from street level, looking toward the arch so that the bright sky beyond forms a glowing oval shape in the center of the composition. Bare winter trees are silhouetted against the sky on both sides of the bridge and beyond the opening. At the top of the bridge, a decorative metal streetlamp rises above the balustrade. The right side of the bridge is covered with tall, vertical graffiti tags painted along the brick support, the largest tag reading downward along the pillar. Smaller tags and markings cluster near the base of the structure. Beneath the arch, the street recedes into the distance with faint headlights from a vehicle and a partially visible road marking that read “BUS - TAXI". Much of the bridge structure and the foreground street are rendered as very dark silhouettes due to strong backlighting from the bright sky behind the arch. As a result, large portions of the image lack visible detail. The shadows are heavily blocked up, obscuring textures in the brickwork and most elements under the bridge. Technically, the photograph shows several exposure and tonal issues: Severe underexposure in the shadows, causing loss of detail in the bridge, street, and surrounding environment. High contrast between the bright sky and the dark foreground. Limited midtone detail, making the structure appear mostly as a silhouette rather than revealing architectural textures. Potential dynamic-range limitations, where the film could not capture detail in both the bright sky and the shaded areas simultaneously.
Black-and-white photograph of a building entrance. The façade is made of dark brick. In the center is a set of double doors framed by metal. Above the doors, a rectangular sign reads “POLITIE”. The doors and surrounding brickwork are heavily covered with large, looping graffiti painted in thick lines, with some lighter overspray creating a halo effect around the tags. Bright sunlight illuminates the middle portion of the scene, causing strong contrast and deep shadows. The light highlights the central brick pillar, where a small rectangular plaque displays the number “122.” At the base of this pillar, a stone block bears the engraved date “24.2.1981.”
Open back of a 35 mm film SLR camera, the Minolta α-9 (Japanese model; known as Maxxum-9 in North America and Dynax-9 in Europe) showing a partially loaded roll of Ferrania P33 black and white film on the left, the film leader stretched across the film gate toward the take-up spool on the right, with the camera’s rear door open and electronic contacts visible; a green-and-black braided strap lies in the background.
Open cardboard shipping box with 20 boxed rolls of Ferrania P33 black-and-white film. Each small rectangular film box is matte black with bold red “P33” lettering and white text reading “Ferrania P33 160 ISO Film Pancromatico 135/36.”
A close-up colour shot of a Renault Formula 1 race car displayed indoors in a museum. The car features a bright yellow, white, and orange livery with prominent sponsor logos, including ING, Total, Pepe Jeans, and Bridgestone Potenza on the tires. The front wing is wide and angular, with red endplates and aerodynamic elements. Behind the car, other vintage and modern racing cars are visible out of focus, including blue and yellow vehicles. The environment has soft lighting, polished floors, and automotive posters on the walls.
A peaceful war cemetery on a sunny day, with a row of light-colored headstones aligned along a green lawn. A tall stone cross stands near the edge of the cemetery, overlooking a country road, rolling fields and forested hills in the distance. The scene is framed by leafy branches hanging from a nearby tree, under a partly cloudy sky.

Colour photo showing the storefront of a clothing and lifestyle shop, with a display that combines vintage cameras and fashion items. In the foreground, a variety of old analog cameras, including brands like Olympus and Pentax, are neatly arranged on a sleek modern pedestal. Behind them, clothing racks showcase colorful jackets and coats, including neutral tones and vibrant hues like yellow and pink. A striking yellow fleece jacket is prominently displayed, hanging from the ceiling above the cameras. The shop interior features wooden floors and a cozy yet modern ambiance, with customers visible in the background and reflections from the street on the glass window.
The black-and-white photograph shows a close-up view of a modern residential architectural complex with a distinctive wavy design. The buildings feature sloping, triangular shapes with large balconies, glass railings, and grid-like patterns of windows. The foreground consists of a wide boardwalk and tiered concrete steps leading to the base of the buildings. A blurred figure, a jogger, moves across the middle of the frame, adding a sense of motion to the otherwise static scene.
The black-and-white photo shows an architectural scene featuring a row of uniquely designed modern buildings with a wavy, triangular shape. The structures are positioned beside a calm body of water, which perfectly mirrors the buildings, creating a symmetrical reflection. Each building has large windows and balconies, emphasizing a contemporary residential style. In the foreground, a person in a kayak paddles across the still water, leaving soft ripples behind. The scene is tranquil, dominated by the contrast between the sharp, geometric lines of the architecture and the organic motion of the water.
