American photographer Kristin Lau's series Nepal Solar Solutions looks at Nepal six months after the catastrophic 2015 earthquake and the SunFarmer solar energy project. SunFarmer, a global non-profit that installs solar energy in developing countries, has built six health posts in Nepal with local healthcare partners.
In this engaging series Italian-based photographer Annalisa Natali Murri features portraits of Russian women who have migrated to Cuba. This collection also includes personal anecdotes from those pictured. Many of the stories are from women who migrated thirty years ago as part of what Murri calls a "romantic diaspora".
Daro Sulakauri

Based in the Republic of Georgia, Daro Sulakauri's ongoing project Deprived of Adolescence documents the culture of early marriage. Georgia has one of the highest rates in Europe of early marriages, which are prevalent among religious and ethnic minorities.
