Anette Skuggedal is a curator, art director, publisher, and art consultant based in Oslo, Norway. As the founder and director of Lumina Gallery, she is devoted to the art of photography—its capacity to reveal, to question, and to connect. Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborations with artists and institutions worldwide, Lumina has become a space where visual narratives unfold and new voices are nurtured. With an early background in film, advertising, and broadcasting, Skuggedal turned her focus to the visual arts in 2003, founding PUG Oslo (Pop Up Gallery)—an experimental platform that brought photography into both traditional and unexpected spaces. In 2017, this vision evolved into Lumina Gallery, expanding to encompass mentoring programs, workshops, and a photography bookstore. Together, these initiatives form a living dialogue between artists, audiences, and the photographic medium itself. Under her direction, Lumina has presented acclaimed exhibitions internationally, featuring photographers such as Sally Mann, Roger Ballen, Joyce Tenneson, and Arno Rafael Minkkinen. Skuggedal's curatorial practice is guided by a sensitivity to the artist's vision and a belief in the photograph's power to move, challenge, and illuminate. She is also the co-founder of CASE Art Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to children's voices, photography-based projects and exhibitions that raise awareness and inspire engagement with humanitarian and social issues through the lens of art.

Christelle Enquist is a Spanish-Swedish photographer, educator, and cultural connector, based on the island of Menorca, Spain. As co-founder of The RAW Society, she cultivates a global community of street, documentary, and travel photographers through workshops, mentorship, publications, and immersive learning experiences. Raised in Singapore and fluent in multiple languages, Enquist’s visual work reflects both her nomadic background and her commitment to cultural storytelling. After a decade working in advertising, she embarked on a life-changing solo journey at age 33, six months of travel that ignited her photographic voice and shaped her ethos. Enquist’s photographic work has been exhibited internationally, in Australia, Belgium, Nepal, the United States, and her retrospective exhibition in Menorca consolidated eight years of her evolving vision. In 2021, her work was included in Women Street Photographers, published by Penguin Random House. Through The RAW Society, Christelle organizes workshops (in locations such as Nepal, India, Mexico, Spain…), leads seminars on color theory and storytelling, and serves as editor-in-chief of The RAW Society Magazine. Her mission is to foster intentional photographic practice, empowering photographers to use their medium with purpose and connection.

Jorge Delgado-Ureña is a Spanish photographer, educator, and co-founder of The Raw Society, based in Menorca, Spain. His work spans personal documentary, travel, and street photography, united by a strong belief in the power of image-driven storytelling. Originally active in commercial and fashion photography, an assignment in Nepal marked a turning point for Jorge, inspiring him to reorient his practice toward more immersive, human-centred work. Since founding The Raw Society in 2016 with Christelle Enquist, he has led over 50 international workshops while mentoring photographers at all levels. Jorge’s photography has appeared in major national and international magazines, including National Geographic Spain, La Vanguardia, Público, and Fisheye Magazine. His exhibitions have taken him to venues in Barcelona (El Colegio de Periodistas; Lomography Embassy), Berlin (LensCulture, The Independent Photographer), and galleries in New York, Kathmandu, and elsewhere. As lead mentor at The Raw Society, Jorge helps participants shape their visual voice, plan long-form projects, and refine their technique. Through his ongoing personal work and assignments, he continues to explore how photography can connect cultures, expose stories, and leave a lasting impact.
