Visual Riff: Sweet and Sour Traditionally, the phrase "Sweet and Sour" symbolizes life's duality - the tension between joy and melancholy, love and pain. Through photography, this concept transforms into a visual language of contrasts — color, texture, and emotion woven together in one frame.

It's official! Stefano De Luigi, Chiara Negrello, and Ed Kashi have announced their upcoming, one-of-a-kind photography workshop in the Philippines, February 2026. For details and registration visit http://bit.ly/cordillera-soul?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=Ed%20Kashi

Recently, Donald Trump threatened Nigeria if its leaders did not stop the violence against Christians. Back in 2013, I documented the war there and saw the tragic aftermath of violent attacks. There is little evidence that Christians are attacked more than other religious groups in Nigeria.#nigeria

Visual Riff: "Office" Spaces Socializing with colleagues or friends blur the line between work and personal identity. This selection from my archive explores the idea of the "office" as a social setting— a space of cultural identity that defines what our work means to us.

Photo of the Day: On the set of The Veil Is Burning, a newlywed wife is gagged and killed by her in-laws, who are furious over the paltry dowry. Pakistan, 1998. Though such murders are now rare, the view that a married woman belongs exclusively to her husband's family has been slow to die.
