Oculi photographer Matthew Abbott @mattabbottphoto has been awarded in the 2026 World Press Photo Awards (Asia-Pacific and Oceania, Stories) for The Last Dolphin Hunters, photographed on Fanalei Island in the Solomon Islands. What began as a regular assignment stretched into weeks on the island, working through rough weather and isolation.
The work follows a small settlement on Fanalei Island, clinging to a narrowing strip of sand and coral as rising seas reshape daily life - graves moved, buildings lost, the island rapidly retreating. For generations, dolphin hunting has been a deeply embedded cultural practice, providing both food and income, but as seaweed farming emerges as a more stable source of cash, it is beginning to reshape the social fabric of the community and may ultimately bring an end to the controversial tradition.
The @worldpressphoto jury described the project as “multilayered and visually compelling,” recognising its ability to hold the intersection of culture, survival, and environmental change, while allowing tensions to remain unresolved.

A portrait of chef Mindy Woods, a proud Bundjalung woman, native chef and advocate for food sovereignity. Woods runs Karkalla On Country, an immersive culinary and cultural experience on her property in the Northern Rivers. @guardianaustralia @blakesharpwiggins @piceditor.theguardian.au
For the month of January, I had the privilege of being an artist in residence at Mabiang Seni near Ubud, Bali. I came to Bali to heal after a year of successful but deeply challenging cancer treatment — chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and drug therapy.
In this interview I share my journey of creative, physical, and spiritual survival, and how I searched for renewal in the natural beauty and powerful energy of Bali. Special thanks to @mabiangseni and amazing @olenriyanto and videographer @dstory.ofand master printer @devfto where I expanded my printmaking techniques and craft and support from artists @georg_popov @rezkyafriza . #lifeaftercancer #cancersurvivor #artinbali #healingjourneys @tamara_voninski @oculi
Oculi member @tajette.ohalloran completed a 12 month project commissioned by @powerhousemuseum and @24houreconomynsw documenting nightlife in the Northern Rivers region of NSW alongside @andrewquilty @smithmedia.au and @jadedamico who were assigned Sydney city, greater Wollongong and the western suburbs of Sydney respectively.
The work exhibited at Parliament House, Sydney and paste ups around the city.
Text from Tajette's body of work titled 'Regional Rituals'
"In regional and rural contexts, nightlife is shaped by a different relationship to time. Cultural change moves more slowly, operating through continuity rather than acceleration. Unlike urban nightlife, which is often driven by market forces, visibility, and constant reinvention, these events persist through repetition and return. They function as rituals rather than destinations, offering informal rites of passage that unfold within already established social worlds, where repetition reinforces belonging rather than novelty. Maintained by families, volunteer committees, and local institutions, these gatherings are sustained through intergenerational care rather than commercial reinvention, remaining largely outside cycles of commodification and gentrification."

Last year, I had the privilege of working with Hugh Sando to create an artist video to support the release of my photo book, We Were Just Little Boys, published by Tall Poppy Press.
This video shares my process and intention behind creating the work, and features Uncle Harry Ritchie, who shares his story.
A big thank you to @magnumfoundation for funding this work and for feedback that took this video to another level, @hugh_sando for your creativity, collaboration and support, @matt.dunne for kickstarting this video and support throughout, @kinchelaboys and @tiffmcc76 for supporting this project, and most importantly, to Uncle Harry for sharing his story.

***NEW OCULI MEMBERS***
Over recent years, Oculi has developed strong momentum and a clearer understanding of the role we can play within the photographic fraternity. Through exhibitions, workshops, projection nights and collaborative projects, we’ve worked to help sustain independent documentary practice at a time when the institutions that support it continue to diminish.
Last year, we began conversations with image makers whose work felt naturally aligned with the collective, and who we believed would bring fresh perspective and renewed energy to the group.
After a careful and considered process, we’re very pleased to welcome three new members to Oculi: Elise Derwin @elise.derwin , Tace Stevens @tacestevens and Matt Newton @rummin_matt
Elise Derwin has unwaveringly documented her community in Lismore through flooding and its aftermath, building a substantial body of work while maintaining a close and enduring connection to both the place and its people.
Working across motion and still imagery, Tace Stevens, a Noongar and Spinifex woman, draws on lived experience to produce quiet, intimate work from within her own community - an approach that lends the stories both authority and care.
For decades, Matt Newton has remained committed to environmental photography in Tasmania, pairing long-term focus with a rare ability to connect the work to audiences beyond traditional media.
Their addition marks a significant moment for the collective and we look forward to the work ahead together

***NEW OCULI MEMBERS***
Over recent years, Oculi has developed strong momentum and a clearer understanding of the role we can play within the photographic fraternity. Through exhibitions, workshops, projection nights and collaborative projects, we’ve worked to help sustain independent documentary practice at a time when the institutions that support it continue to diminish.
Last year, we began conversations with image makers whose work felt naturally aligned with the collective, and who we believed would bring fresh perspective and renewed energy to the group.
After a careful and considered process, we’re very pleased to welcome three new members to Oculi: Elise Derwin @elise.derwin , Tace Stevens @tacestevens and Matt Newton @rummin_matt
Elise Derwin has unwaveringly documented her community in Lismore through flooding and its aftermath, building a substantial body of work while maintaining a close and enduring connection to both the place and its people.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
