Elisabeth Blanchet and Karl Blanchet are members of Digital Railroad. They photograph various features. In 2006-2007, Elisabeth met Rumanian orphanages 10 years after leaving intolerable Ceausescu-style child institutions. She also covered mobile clubbing in London train stations, a new underground movement. Karl Blanchet, editor of Lunatic, brought back from Ghana colourful and lively images of amateur boxers training in the streets and schools of Accra. Karl also got the opportunity to witness the wedding of cheerful Santas in Trafalgar Square, London.

Elisabeth and Karl area also members of Luna, an international collective of photographers created in 2003 who aim to describe society with a personal and human vision. Recently Luna has launched an online magazine lunaticmag.com presenting new work from known and unknown talented photographers from all around the world. The target audience of Lunatic is the photographer community, the picture editors who want to discover new creative works and all people interested in contemporary photography.

We are delighted to have Karl and Elisabeth be a part of our community and support their mission to expand access to the work of contemporary photo journalists.
