Hal Far, Malta is a disused airfield situated in the less populated south of the Island. The area is home to an over crowded African migrant community looking to enter Europe by boat from Libya. Housing is provided through makeshift tents, containers and old converted British colonial buildings.

Whilst at Hal Far in 2010 the situation was one of patience and waiting. The flow of migrants heading toward the island had slowed and the residents lucky enough to leave had brought hope for the other African immigrants. However a recent increase in numbers of African migrants fleeing Africa through Libya once more has caused the situation to worsen and raise tensions.

Who are Stephanie Borcard and Nicolas Metraux?

We are a Swiss couple living for the past 9 months in Asian hotel rooms. Currently we are in Sichuan province, China. We like to travel slowly and to spend time in places. We are rather shy and solitary. We work on personal projects, developing calm and poetic images. Our photography is subjective.

Through our recent series of photographs, we try to create a set of emotions, rather than to document a specific subject. Human interactions have always been our source of inspiration. We used to get very close to people. Now, we appreciate a certain distance. Before coming to photography, Stephanie was a teacher and Nicolas a woodworker and an architect.

Curated by James Whitlow Delano, a photographer based in Tokyo, the book "The Mercy Project INOCHI" is a collection of images by notable photographers from the world, from freelance world and from photo agencies like Magnum or VII. Each of the 118 photographers was asked by James to generously donate an image inspired by their take on the word 'Mercy'. The book has been designed by Giorgio Baravalle at de MO Design, and published by Mado-Sha in Japan.

Importantly and the reason for the project theme, is that proceeds from sales of the book will be donated by James to a hospice foundation in the USA and to one in Japan for those suffering with terminal cancer, the same hospice which tenderly looked after James' sister Jeanne when she recently passed away.

With India's strongly increasing economic growth, the need for energy and thus the hunger for the dirty and supposedly cheap raw material coal will get bigger and bigger. The coal field Jharia, in the federal state of Jharkhand, is on the one hand India's biggest coal mining area and on the other hand also the area with the most coal seam fires.

Coal seam fires are not only one of the biggest causes of environmental pollution locally but also globally. For coal fires spout enormous quantities of carbon dioxide into the air, in India alone 1.4 billion tons a year. India has thus become the fourth biggest producer of greenhouse gas worldwide.

The Place Where I am Not is a personal documentary project exploring the dramatic changes that took place in my home country over the past three years.

Since joining the EU in 2004, rapid economic growth was followed by a deep recession that left imprint on every sphere of life, and my work is a document of different responses to the situation Latvians found themselves in.

On a more personal level, I explore the issues of migration and cultural identity, challenging the notion of the word “home”, as I return to a place where I no longer live.

Fashion; Beauty, success, fame, elegance, chic, modern, attractive, glamour, stylish, something flawless. Some words that can describe this alternative world. Nevertheless, this is one side of the coin. As an intruder I tried to get involved in this celebration somehow.

This project include stage and backstage photos from several fashion weeks that took place in Athens,Greece.

I began working in Bangladesh in 2009, 6 months after Cyclone Aila struck destroying more than 700km (434 miles) of coastal embankments and wiping out thousands of homes, leaving over 40,000 people marooned on the embankments and forced to take refuge in shelters.
