A Tender Distance

Overview

Portraiture is always shaped by distance—whether it’s the physical space between camera and subject, the emotional space between people, or the social and cultural space between communities. Issue No. 02: A Tender Distance explores how intimacy, vulnerability, proximity, and perspective shape the ways we represent one another. No-Type Magazine is seeking lens-based artwork that engages with these ideas, whether through traditional portraiture or through work that challenges, expands, or reimagines what a portrait can be.
