The Dew of little Things
Carlos Lobo
Carlos Lobo loves exploring urban landscapes. It was in Lebanon, between Beirut and Tripoli, that he set up his camera for The Dew of Little Things. Through these war-torn landscapes, he unfolds a unique poetry. In both color and black and white, his photographs bear witness to a world in limbo. The cement gray of conflict fades, surrounded by the green of a nature reborn. Like the lines by Gibran that inspired his title, "For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and its freshness."

Through the Pale Dawn
Carlos Lobo
Through the Pale Dawn is one of two new books by Portuguese photographer Carlos Lobo. The images in this collection were taken during a stay of several weeks in North Korea. As is well known, photography in this country is extremely difficult. Carlos Lobo had to resign himself to traveling in an organized group, guided by officials who showed tourists only what the regime allowed them to see.
Thus, far from the usual representations where propaganda is always blatant, the photographer focuses on capturing the "little things" of everyday life for North Koreans. These are images taken alongside the official narrative: scenes on the fringes of visited sites, urban or natural views far from grand monuments or imposing buildings, portraits of people in their daily lives. This "poetic" documentary photography does not exclude the political perspective that emerges here and there throughout the book.

The Idea of Silence
Carlos Lobo
The Idea of Silence is one of two new books by Portuguese photographer Carlos Lobo. Without any text, the book presents a series of images the photographer took in Japan in 2011, a few months after the Fukushima disaster.
Far from the format of photojournalism, his photographic approach oscillates between documentary and poetic. Impressions of Japan, where the faint traces of catastrophe sometimes surface in the images. A book full of restraint and silence.
