Zero Photos & Dador Havana PRINT SALE Innitiative providing support to the Cuban People /
Zero Photos has teamed up with Dador Havana for a PRINT SALE fundraiser initiative, offering our prints as donations, organized in response to the pandemic and the food and medical shortages. Click here for more information.
Zero Photos collective is donating 100% of the profits from these print sales to help provide food and medical donations to the people of Cuba. This is the least we can do to say thank you to the Cuban people for their never-ending hospitality, for letting us wander the streets, enjoy encounters with new friends, observe the vibrant colors and capture the most beautiful light.
Cuba is a very special place to Zero Photos. Many of our members have created images, attended workshops, and met or lived on the island. This fundraising initiative, offering our prints as donations, was organized in response to the pandemic and the food and medical shortage crisis.

Zero Photos: 2020 Year in Pictures /
2020 was the most unexpected year. Faced with many challenges and difficulties this is what Zero Members photographed..
Jenn Meeus
2020 marked the beginning of a new chapter as I moved to the French countryside. Following my arrival, I started a photo series called “The Indomitables”, documenting rural communities living in the region called “Le Morvan” (Burgundy, France). This on-going project aims at highlighting their ability to maintain social and cultural links and to keep their land alive. But as France was under lockdown for two months and as I was unable to wander around freely, I decided to make one self-portrait a day during quarantine. With one idea in mind: to intertwine reality and fiction.
Kasia Trojak
Photographically, 2020 has been very productive and inspiring. I have taken pictures every month. Longing for connection and a sense of community I felt photography was my main motivation to get through this challenging year.
Kristof Huf
Since February 2019, I am regularly traveling from Munich, Germany, to Svinia trying to capture in writing and photography what the Residents choose to show me.
Svinia is a village in eastern Slovakia consisting of two settlements of almost similar size, one inhabited by Romani. Founded in the nineteenth century by a handful migrants, the Roma population has grown over the decades to become one of the largest
settlements of rural Roma in the entire district. Set in the centre of Europe the Roma part of Svinia is haunted by unemployment, exploitation, violence, substance abuse, and resignation.
Raimund Moser
One year ago my head was full of plans: workshops I would attend, travelling to some interesting places and continuing some of my personal projects. Things evolved differently. In the end, I spent the whole year in Munich and surroundings - for me visually not the most interesting places. I can’t say that I didn’t take pictures. On the contrary, I took a lot, but mostly of my family and during the occasional Sunday strolls. The pictures are an excerpt of that.
Omer Babadag
Too much happened, a lot!
It was globally heavy for everyone I guess. Losing family members, good friends, jobs, lots of time, waste of a whole year.
I have never experienced this much isolation personally. Tried my best to keep the ones I love as safe as possible, even sometimes avoiding a kiss or a handshake. In a whole year, going further and further away from people (l'impossible distanciation) yielded this primitive loneliness, also yet another chance to sit down and look around more carefully.
Now I recognize all the stray dogs in my hometown, can guess a cat's gender by a look, have a few trees that i visit, and more islands.
I just want to forget this fuckin' year.
Costas Polinakis
This year’s quarantine didn’t give us many options especially for travel. So I started experimenting in my home town of Athens, Greece mostly with infrared photography. For me it was also a good opportunity to play with film photography again.
Eleni Albarosa
2020 was an intense year. To me, the Covid pandemic was also an opportunity to stop and reassess more carefully what I have taken for granted previously. I was stuck in Italy in the city where I grew up and with which I never had an easy relationship with and I was able to rediscover it.
