A photographic and humanist quest for authenticity, an ode to spontaneity and kinship, a celebration of the richness of life around the world.
A revelation of a deepest truth: that our lives are not shaped solely by circumstances, but by the humanity we share with others—no matter how distant or different they may seem.
A light cast upon the work of anonymous actors to improve the world and the dignity and resilience of those who benefit.
A means to engage change-makers, mobilize and strengthen the impact of NGOs, and raise funds: part of the proceeds will be donated to dedicated initiatives.
In the shadow of the beauty of these lands and the richness of these cultures lie human realities too often ignored. This book was born from a conviction, beyond images, that we must find words to tell the stories of the challenges faced by much of humanity. It also shines light upon the organizations that work alongside local populations to shape a more equitable, just, and sustainable future by implementing long-lasting solutions.

One World is 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. Our differences are plentiful, but otherness, portrayed through the lens of Armelle Martignoni Caumont Caimi, is not a dividing force: it is a catalyst for compassionate connection and celebration of humanity, universal values, and the beauty of the one world we all share.
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.

About the artist : Armelle Martignoni
Nothing predestined Armelle Martignoni Caumont Caimi to photography, except an insatiable curiosity and a deep love of distant travel. Perhaps it was the sense of being hemmed in by the mountain peaks of her native Switzerland that awakened her desire to look beyond them. For decades she has practiced photography in a spontaneous, intuitive way, seeking fleeting moments of life and, above all, faces—and the gazes returned to her.
Armelle’s engagement with philanthropy began at the cusp of adulthood, when her father received his first liver transplant. As her family journeyed through illness and the uncertainty of survival, they cultivated a sense of marvel for the pure generosity of strangers and the invisible forces of hope and resilience that unite us all.
Understanding early on that philanthropy is not limited to financial contributions, she has taken her camera across the world to shine light on the unseen, whether during international residencies or on solitary, offbeat paths. Compelled to capture moments of essential truth in the gazes of her subjects, whose eyes meet ours to draw us into their presence, Armelle strives to give space to those too often ignored and raise awareness that we are all part of one world.
