The Photography Collections at FATHOM
The Photo Iconix collection is a survey of the photographic medium, curated to highlight the duality of the lens as both a historical witness and an instrument of fine art. Our archive navigates the tension between the raw and the refined—bridging the distance between evocative, signed limited-edition street scenes and lush, tropical minimalism and between hight fashion and ethnographic studies, Between war and peace.
Street photography | Moments from The Urban Archive
Street photography is the unscripted theater of the public realm. This collection captures the fleeting, kinetic energy of the city—from the gritty pavement of 1980s New York to the sun-bleached boulevards of Los Angeles. We prioritize work that serves as a time capsule, preserving the fashion, architecture, and social fabric of a vanished era.
Fashion & Portraiture | Haute Couture & The Cult of Personality
Photography has always been the primary vehicle for style. This collection juxtaposes the polished perfection of mid-century haute couture with the raw, punk-fueled aesthetic of the 1980s downtown scene. It is a study in contrast: the elegance of a Paris salon versus the sweat of a CBGB matinee.
Documentary Photography | Witness to History
A photograph is the only way to freeze time. Our Documentary collection is anchored by the weight of history, featuring images that have moved from the newsroom to the gallery wall and ethnographic studies dating to the dawn of the medium. Our goal is to celebrate the photographers who documented the defining moments of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Travel & Culture | Wanderlust With Context & Texture
True travel photography is not about proving you were there; it is about capturing the feeling of a place. This collection moves beyond the postcard to explore the textures, colors, and quiet moments that define a culture. Whether it is the red clay of Marrakesh or the turquoise breaks of the Pacific, these works are selected for their ability to transport the viewer.
Landscape & Nature Photography | The Architecture of the Natural World
Our Landscape collection avoids the cliché of the 'scenic vista' in favor of atmospheric minimalism and structural detail. We look for photographers who treat the natural world with the same rigor as a portrait subject—isolating forms, freezing motion, and studying the quiet drama of light.
