If you need an idea of what to write, here are a few things people have written in the past about Nueva Luz (but remember, it’s always better to write what you honestly feel about the magazine, truth and passion is always powerful. Let that be your guide.“One of the ways En Foco has changed the art world, is by insisting that the act of looking at photographs made by artists of color should not exclude any viewer-ship.” – Lisa Henry, Curator
“Nueva Luz gives the reader a sense of space as if they are actually in a gallery looking at fabulous art. The insightful commentary gives you a fuller understanding of the photographic ideas presented. The artists that have shown in Nueva Luz are some of the most inspiring artists of our time. I look forward to every issue with great anticipation.” -– Comment posted on Amazon.com“Photography history has long been written with exclusive focus on (white) western practitioners. Meanwhile extraordinary photography was being practiced in our midst by non-white photographers and in non-western countries. The history books have still not caught up. Nueva Luz adds a much needed voice to photographers of diverse backgrounds.” - From a survey.
The requested PHOTOS can be downloaded in the “photos” section on our facebook page:
