“Armelle Martignoni’s camera is never used to impress, shock, or embellish reality. It is used to connect, to raise awareness, and to contribute to causes that matter. Her vision is honest, showing unfiltered respect for the people she meets and the stories they carry. Through her work, she reminds us that compassion is not a luxury but a responsibility. Each frame quietly insists that we, too, share in the duty to look, care, and act.” —Steve McCurry, from the foreword
An ode to the human connection that emerges we stop to listen and care, opening our eyes, minds, and hearts to others across the world.
One World is a poetic and humanist monograph exploring the richness of life and the common thread that connects people across cultures and continents. Through authentic, intuitive portraiture and thoughtful narrative, this photo book reflects on shared experiences, dignity, and resilience, while highlighting the work of local organizations and change-makers striving to improve lives around the world. Featuring a foreword by Steve McCurry, One World takes us on journey across South and Southeast Asia, Maghreb, the Middle East, and East Africa, documenting the shared spirit that connects us all and endures despite despair, harsh conditions, and inequalities in healthcare, education, and environmental security.
One World is an invitation to listen, care, and engage with the broader human story in celebration of our differences and the compassion that unites us. A portion of the book’s proceeds supports the dedicated initiatives and NGOs featured within its pages.
"With a stunning clarity, Martignoni Caumont Caimi’s photos capture a range of human emotions. In one, a child in Thailand lies on the back of her crying father as he prays and gazes intently into the camera. In another, an older woman in Myanmar holds her face in her hands and looks away shyly. [...] In the pages of One World, readers will experience people and places from around the world and come away with a deeper appreciation for our shared humanity. Through these stories and images, we are reminded that opening ourselves up to the experiences and struggles of others can foster a greater connection to both them and ourselves." —Linnea Pejcha, My Modern Met
"In the footsteps of the great masters of humanist photography comes One World, a luxury book in which every copy sold changes lives, quite literally. [...] Neither quite reportage nor truly a travel album, One World (Hemeria) proves that photography is, first and foremost, a way of seeing the world." —Guénola Pellen, Blind Magazine
"[Armelle Martignoni Caumont Caimi’s] debut book, One World, brings together powerful portraits made in South Asia, the Maghreb, Middle East and East Africa, in areas where many people face harsh conditions, inequalities in heath care, education, and environmental security. Through her work, Caumont Caimi hopes to make visible the unseen." —Claire Blow, Outdoor Photography
