In this collection, ten photographic artists write about photography, drawing on their own artistic practices and photographic theory. They seek new ways to understand this art form, which is often intertwined with the pressing questions of our time. The essays encounter, among other things, a woman who survived the collapse of Rana Plaza garment factory and a human-like conversational robot, while also exploring the meanings of the portrait of Earth taken during a spaceflight. They also examine the visual dimensions of pregnancy, autofictional photography, and the queer gaze in photography.

Hanna Weselius is an award-winning author, photographic artist and Doctor of Fine Arts.  She is a university lecturer in photography at Aalto University. The other writers in the collection are Laura Böök, Eeva Hannula, Utu-Tuuli Jussila, Kastehelmi Korpijaakko, Aura Saarikoski, Noora Sandgren, Maija Annikki Savolainen, Maija Tammi ja Nita Vera. They have all studied in Aalto University’s photography programme, which is one of the leading programmes in the Nordic countries.
