“183 Sunsets Over Georgian Bay (2023.07.21 – 2023.12.21), Ontario” SOLARGRAPHY is an alternative photography process that uses homemade pinhole cameras and light-sensitive black and white photo paper to capture exceptionally long exposures of the Sun’s movement across the sky. The colours are a byproduct of the extremely long exposures and the chemical breakdown of the paper. Over the course of days, weeks, and months, a single image is meticulously constructed, revealing a unique record of space, time, and weather patterns that would otherwise remain unseen. “183 Day Solargraph #1 (2023.07.21 – 2023.12.21), Oakville, Ontario.” The resulting sun tracks present a gradual day-to-day change, attributable to the Earth’s 23.4-degree axial tilt and slightly elliptical orbit. The height of each track is determined by the latitude of the exposure location and the time of year it is recorded. The lowest track is produced on the winter solstice, while the highest track corresponds to the summer solstice. Missing, faint, or broken tracks occur when clouds or other obstructions block the Sun. “Total Eclipse over Port Maitland Lighthouse - 1 Day Solargraph (2024-04-08), Ontario.” The colours depicted in the images are not direct representations of the scene, but rather the result of the paper’s chemical reactions to extreme overexposure, as well as the influence of uncontrollable factors such as moisture, dirt, significant temperature fluctuations, or fungus that may infiltrate the pinhole camera. Furthermore, each brand of photography paper possesses a unique chemical composition, leading to distinct colour schemes. If developed using traditional methods, the photo paper would turn completely black and the use of a photography fixer would diminish much of the colour. Instead, the prolonged exposure times etch the image onto the paper without requiring any additional steps. A high-quality flatbed scan is then performed on the resulting negative (paper) despite its light sensitivity. Light emitted by the scanner degrades or destroys the original image as it traverses the paper. Once scanned, the image is inverted, horizontally flipped and further processed digitally using Lightroom and Photoshop.

Capturing a moment, whether a split-second action or an encapsulation of the slow passage of time, is one of the most beautiful and impactful ideas a single image can convey. The artists featured in photoED magazine’s TIME edition have produced time-bending works that, politely, gently, and kindly invite viewers to take an extra moment of consideration from our fast-paced image heavy world. The payoff is not only a visual reward, but also the gift of new ideas when considering one’s own future recordings. The TIME issue IN PRINT • Cover image by Bret Culp • photo by Marie-Louise Moutafchieva #MadeWithAffinity The artists in this issue work with time as the basis of their photography, taking their explorations to new levels. “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” — Dorothea Lange Sylvia Galbraith records room-size camera obscura images with such clarity; her work is a time-blending puzzle. Bret Culp uses the same tool, a pinhole camera, to create a single image recording: the passage of time over days, weeks, and months. Sylvia Galbraith • What Time Is This Place? Solargraph by Bret Culp, “183 Day Solargraph #1 (2023.07.21 – 2023.12.21), Oakville, Ontario.” Zinnia Naqvi • “The Wanderers ‑ Niagara Falls, 1988,” from the series Yours to Discover, 2019. Zinnia Naqvi’s art practice embraces 1980s images from her family albums to question colonial influence and (re)present her experience to new audiences — perhaps relating to viewers’ own experiences and influencing recollections of whatever a “Canadian experience” means to them. Craig D’Arville/ FFOTO.com + June Clark and Christina Leslie I’m especially excited to present an interview by Craig D’Arville featuring June Clark and Christina Leslie. These artists’ works are thoughtfully crafted and loaded with immeasurable layers of history, family, love, struggle, and contemplation in every visual they thoughtfully present. I hope you can afford to make the time for these works, ideas, and more.

An interview with NIKON creator Stefan Thurairatnam A Tokyo alley hidden gem •   Shot with: Nikon Z8 Nikkor Z 24-70 mm f/2.8 shot at ISO 640, 1/160s, f/ 4, 70 mm. Stefan Thurairatnam is a self-taught and self-represented travel, lifestyle, and luxury content creator. Born in Germany to a Sri Lankan family, Stefan is based in Toronto but works everywhere and anywhere for numerous international brands. What began as a passion for travel turned into his full-time career when he traded his day job at a financial institution in favour of roaming the world, capturing natural beauty and luxury real estate for his roster of international clients. We spoke to Stefan about his work and adventures as a Nikon Creator. photoED: You had a steady day job that would allow you to take holidays, but you made the dramatic shift to turn travel and photography into a completely different career for yourself. What prompted this transition? What did those early days feel like for you after you had made this decision? Stefan : The decision came from a growing realization that photography and travel were no longer just passions — they were becoming the core of how I wanted to experience life. I was working in finance, which provided stability, but every trip I took left me more inspired than fulfilled by my day-to-day routine. Eventually, I reached a point where I had to ask myself whether comfort was worth ignoring. The early days were equal parts exciting and terrifying. I walked away from predictability into complete uncertainty, without a road map or safety net. There were moments of self-doubt, but there was also an incredible sense of freedom. I was finally betting on myself, and that commitment changed everything. Al Awir Desert, United Arab Emirates •   Shot with: Nikon Z8 Nikkor Z 24-70 mm f/2.8 shot at ISO 800, 1/500s, f/ 5.6, 70 mm. photoED: How did you learn photography and the business of working for luxury brands? Stefan: I am entirely self-taught. Photography began as experimentation — learning through trial and error, and studying light, composition, and storytelling by observing the world and analyzing the work of photographers I admired. Over time, I became more intentional, treating each shoot as both a creative and a technical exercise. The business side came later and was learned through experience. Working with luxury brands requires more than strong visuals; it requires understanding brand identity, consistency, and trust. I learned how to communicate professionally, deliver reliably, and align creative vision with commercial objectives. Every project became a learning opportunity. photoED: What do you love most about sharing stories through photography? Stefan: Photography allows me to communicate without language. A single image can convey emotion, atmosphere, and narrative in a way that words often cannot. I love the idea that someone on the other side of the world can feel inspired, nostalgic, or curious simply by engaging with an image. At its best, photography invites the viewer into a moment they may never physically experience, yet still feel connected to. photoED: Your work is primarily showcased on social media. How do you manage the pressures of the Instagram platform? Stefan: Social media can be both a powerful tool and a source of pressure. I try to remind myself that Instagram is a distribution platform, not a measure of creative worth. Algorithms change, trends come and go, but authenticity and consistency endure. I focus on creating work I am proud of rather than chasing validation. Taking intentional breaks and maintaining perspective are essential for long-term sustainability in this industry. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary  in Dubai is a wetland reserve hosting thousands of migratory flamingos • Shot with: Nikon Z8 Nikkor Z 180-600 mm f/5.6-6.3 shot at ISO 125, 1/500s, f/ 6.3, 600 mm. photoED: Whose work has influenced yours? Stefan: I draw inspiration from a wide range of photographers and visual storytellers, particularly those who prioritize mood and narrative over perfection. I am deeply influenced by cinema, architecture, wildlife, and remote destinations, as these elements naturally shape how I approach storytelling through imagery. Often, inspiration comes less from a single individual and more from observing how light, space, and emotion interact in everyday life. That said, one individual who has consistently inspired me is Alex Kydd , a professional ocean and wildlife photographer based in Western Australia and a fellow Nikon Creator on the other side of the world. His ability to capture underwater environments is truly surreal — his use of natural light, composition, and timing creates imagery that feels both powerful and poetic. His work is a strong reminder of how technical mastery and patience can come together to tell meaningful stories in some of the most challenging and unpredictable environments on the planet. photoED: What makes a good photograph? Stefan: A good photograph evokes feelings. Technical excellence matters, but emotion matters more. If an image can make someone pause — even briefly — and feel something, then it has succeeded. Composition, light, and timing are tools, but intention is what brings them together. photoED: How has working in photography influenced you personally? Stefan: Photography has taught me patience, adaptability, and humility. Travel exposes you to different cultures and perspectives, which naturally broadens your understanding of the world and yourself. It has also made me more present — constantly observing details that might otherwise go unnoticed. People of Ulukhaktok, Nunavut photographed on a Northwest passage expedition •   Shot with: Nikon Z8 Nikkor Z 24-70 mm f/2.8 shot at ISO 100, 1/1000s, f/ 5, 70 mm. photoED: What has been your favourite or most personally impactful project or adventure? Stefan: Some of the most personally impactful projects for me have been expedition-based journeys through some of the most remote regions on Earth — destinations such as Antarctica, Greenland, and traversing the Northwest Passage. These environments push you well beyond your comfort zone, both creatively and physically. Working in extreme cold, unpredictable weather, and rapidly changing light conditions forces you to be fully present and technically precise, while also trusting your instincts as a visual storyteller. For a photographer and filmmaker, these destinations are unparalleled. The scale of the landscapes, the rawness of the wildlife, and the remoteness of the human stories create an emotional depth that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Capturing polar wildlife, isolated communities, and vast, untouched environments allows me to translate a feeling — silence, power, fragility — through my lens in a way that feels honest and immersive. Projects like these also allow me to truly push the limits of my Nikon gear, testing reliability and performance in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Extreme cold, high winds, and constantly shifting atmospheres demand equipment you can trust without hesitation. Through the success of these expeditions, I will continue my journey this year with upcoming projects including a northern lights expedition in Norway, a full circumnavigation of Svalbard, and an east Greenland expedition. Together, these experiences are shaping me into a more refined expedition photographer and filmmaker, deepening both my technical skill set and my ability to tell meaningful stories in the most challenging environments on the planet. Ilulissat, Iceberg capital of the world in the High Arctic • Shot with: Nikon Z8 Nikkor Z 24-70 mm f/2.8 shot at ISO 100, 1/1000s, f/ 5, 70 mm. photoED: Tell us about your hardest or most challenging day as a photographer. What keeps you going on a hard day? Stefan: There have been days with extreme weather, missed connections, lost light, or technical issues — all while under pressure to deliver. What keeps me going is perspective. Challenges are part of the process, and every difficult day has ultimately contributed to growth. Remembering how far I’ve come helps me push through. photoED: Your work and life involves constant travel. What does a holiday look like for you now? Does the camera always go with you? Stefan: Travel and work are deeply intertwined for me, but I still value intentional downtime. The camera usually comes along, but I try not to force productivity. Some of my favourite images are captured when there is no brief, no expectation — just curiosity. photoED: What advice do you have for photographers just getting started in any genre? Stefan: Be patient and stay consistent. Focus on learning fundamentals before chasing trends. Develop your own visual voice and do not compare your beginning to someone else’s middle. Most importantly, treat photography with professionalism from day one — creatively and commercially. photoED: We simply have to ask … what are your top travel tips or hacks for travelling with photography equipment? Stefan: Pack efficiently and prioritize essentials. Always carry critical gear in your carry-on, use protective cases, and insure your equipment. Planning ahead — especially for climate, power requirements, and local regulations — can prevent major issues on location. photoED: We guess you spend a lot of time in airports. We would love any great airport stories. Best airport experience? Worst airport experience? Stefan: Airports have become second nature to me. The best experiences are often lounges that allow you to reset between long journeys. The worst experience was definitely in Egypt. Our luggage got stuck in Cairo, and we were boarding the Steigenberger Nile Cruise in Aswan the very next day. Everything from clothes to all of our camera gear was in those suitcases. Since we were doing a campaign for Steigenberger, my wife had to go ahead and board the ship so we wouldn’t miss the start of the trip, while I flew back to Cairo early in the morning to get our luggage. I then flew straight back to Aswan the same day. Throughout the entire process, I stayed in contact with our client, Steigenberger Nile Cruise, who connected me directly with the ship’s captain so he could keep me updated on the ship’s location once I landed back in Aswan. Since the boat couldn’t dock at night, they improvised, pulling alongside a port and setting up a plank so I could board the ship with the luggage through a window. Incredibly stressful at the time, but it makes for an unforgettable story now. GEAR UP What camera and equipment do you most use now? What’s your favourite lens? Tell us about your experience using NIKON products. Stefan : My primary camera for both filmmaking and photography is the Nikon Z8. It has become the backbone of my workflow because of its exceptional image quality, dynamic range, and video capabilities, all within a compact and durable body. The Z8 performs reliably across a wide range of environments — from controlled luxury interiors to extreme expedition conditions — which is essential given the diversity of projects I work on. For lifestyle and everyday content, I often use the Nikon Zf. Its design is unobtrusive and versatile, making it ideal for more intimate, candid moments while still delivering outstanding image quality. In terms of lenses, the NIKKOR Z 24–70mm f/2.8 S II is a constant in my kit. Its sharpness, colour accuracy, and versatility make it suitable for nearly any scenario, whether I’m shooting editorial content, landscapes, or brand-focused storytelling. For wider perspectives, especially when working with luxury hotels or airlines, I rely on the NIKKOR Z 14–24mm f/2.8 S . It’s lightweight and fast, allowing me to capture expansive interiors, architectural lines, and immersive environmental shots without distortion, which is crucial for premium brand work. When it comes to wildlife and expedition photography, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S and the NIKKOR Z 180–600mm f/5.6–6.3 VR. These lenses are exceptional for capturing distant subjects with clarity and precision, even in challenging weather conditions. The 600mm f/4 delivers outstanding sharpness and subject isolation, while the 180–600mm offers incredible flexibility, smooth zoom and focus control for video, effective stabilization, and controlled focus breathing — making it ideal for unpredictable wildlife encounters. Together, this system allows me to move seamlessly between luxury, lifestyle, and expedition storytelling. Nikon’s reliability and optical performance give me the confidence to focus on capturing emotion, atmosphere, and narrative — regardless of how demanding the environment may be. Nikon equipment has consistently delivered performance I can trust, whether I’m photographing luxury resorts, landscapes, or expeditions. The system allows me to focus less on gear and more on storytelling, which is ultimately what matters most. Check out all Stefan's favourite Nikon gear, HERE.
