Photo de la semaine for: 6Mois

One of my images was selected by 6Mois, a french magazine of photojournalism published twice a year and based in Paris, as this week's Photo de la semaine.

But despite being available just in France at the moment, the magazine has still achieved near-cult status among photographers.

Basically Photo de la semaine, translated into English as The Photo of the Week, showcases a single image from a photographer's portfolio. There are some really outstanding frames within this column such as one of photographer Claire Schneider who won the PDN World in Focus 2012. Another frame that I enjoyed from the 6Mois weekly column is the Joop Swart World Press Masterclass nominee Mona Simon photograph from her series Traditional Romania.

Those at 6Mois state that the goal is simple: to portray the 21st century with images.  Currently, the print version of the magazine is only available in France. However, amid several other compliments, the British Journal of Photography reports that the magazine has still achieved near-cult status among photographers.

Thanks to 6Mois for their efforts in showcasing work from photographers throughout the world and for their support of visual storytelling. All the best!
