We’re very proud of FotoFirst, a space we created on FotoRoom to present new works that were never published in a photo magazine before; and it makes us feel very honored when photographers choose to premiere their projects on our platform (we’d be happy to showcase your new work, too—just show it to us!). In 2016, we’ve launched about 60 new series; here are ten we especially liked, in no particular order:
