Carry Your Burden

Selected in FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025

This series presents an array of people engaging in laborious activities or resting after toiling away, calling attention to the physical struggle and fatigue of daily life. In an era saturated by countless discourses about the prospects of technological progress and the dematerialization of our existence within the the digital realm, the physicality of these individuals toiling away dominates the space of each image. A reminder that life, devoid of machineries and devices, ultimately remains a very tangible matter where every single person is required to carry their burden on their own.

Daniel Bellman

Daniel Bellman

Daniel Bellman (1977) is an Italian and American photographer based in New York City. Discovering a fascination for analog cameras and film at an early age, he started taking pictures in his twenties in his spare time, always working with analog cameras and film. His long-standing dedication to photography — mainly practiced on the street — resulted in a spontaneous yet coherent body of work with a distinctive style born of an innate skill for capturing harmonious compositions, a keen awareness of the subtleties of light, and a narrative quality stemming from a solid background in the art of filmmaking. He likes to think of street photography as something akin to the arcane divining practice of searching water with a dowsing rod. Relying on intuition and fate, the acolyte-photographer roams uncharted grounds with a camera in search of chance events to be imbued with form and meaning in the twinkling of an eye, hoping that the collision of fortuity and intent will deliver a spark of some sort. In the case of his work, the spark seems to burst from an attempt at evoking the possibility that under the mundane, casual surface of reality there lies a subtle transcendental layer infusing meaning into our existence — an essential aspect of life that tends to be neglected in an era permeated by a distracted and skeptical attitude.
