Muhammad Al-Husayan captured the hard labour of physical construction work and turned it into an art form. A slow show ballet of Caterpillar machines on the shore of the Persian Gulf. With his strong compassion and love for art in all its forms, he explores the beauty of it in life.

“Workers” was shot in Kuwait Khairan area where construction was made. I wanted to shoot and show…Read More »

An old saying goes “The more you practice, the better you get”.  New Hampshire 24 year old born photographer Sarah Ann Loreth took that advice to advance her skills as an artist with her 365 days project. Basically for a year you take a picture (mostly self-portraits) every single damn day. The easy part is shooting the image, the hard part is to come up with a challenging idea and concept day after day. It take a huge amount of determination…Read More »
The 26 year old Carlos Nascimento from Portugal is professionally speaking a sound engineer working in film and advertising sound post production. However, for the last 5 years he’s been picking up the camera more often and firing away. So far it is just a collection of random shots, somehow it feels like a visual scrapbook. Not to push anyone or anything in a certain direction, but… I can see Carlos making a killer non-motion picture combining his sound…Read More »
I stumbled across the works of England based photographer (and super multi creative) Lee Basford in our Shuttercrack group on Flickr. With his images shot on the Japanese Island of Hokkaido he tells us the beautiful story of an old school working horse farm. What might seem to be the simple life is actually hard labour that requires a great set of skills. It might be hard to grasp for those caught up in the paper…Read More »
The photographs of Poland born Jan Cieslikiewicz got me by surprise when I saw a monkey in one of his pictures. Then I discovered that this guy has one sick portfolio of travel images. Maybe travel photography isn’t the right word, I think he’s uses traveling as a mere instrument to shoot his pictures. Most of my recent posts have been about people who set out to explore the world. I find it rather fascinating to read about the people that…Read More »
For most people Cuba is just one vintage postcard with old cars, old people and old buildings. Everything is old and on the verge of breaking down. But in reality that is just the facade (or the lack of in a way). London based photographer Mike Heath captured Cuba in a way I’ve never seen before. He makes it feel so damn crispy and clean! This is very high quality travel photography and a huge inspiration for me personally! “Arriving in Cuba…Read More »

Dan Oara – Common bonds

Photography by Dan Oara - Common Bonds series
This is actually the second time that we’re featuring the works of Romanian photographer Dan Oara on CFYE. Unfortunately his picture in Crack-Mag #002 was cancelled due to some (resolved) issues. To my great surprise I received last month a good spirited email from Dan presenting us his new work. Oara was born in Timisoara, Romania, where he studied industrial design. A few years later he moved to the capital, Bucharest to study cinematography. After…Read More »
Aleksander Bochenek (33) is an independent photographer and traveler living in Krakow, Poland. He is fascinated with the world’s cultural variety and visual manifestation of people’s values and beliefs. He uses the medium of photography in order to raise questions rather than a mere tool of literal describing. “While images are my passion, photography is my way of experiencing the world and seeking the answers. It’s a never-ending process of learning, a pretext to meet others and find myself in life changing situations. It is…Read More »
Jérémie Moussiad Kerouanton – aka DJ iZem–  wanted to branch out a couple of years ago and traded France for Ireland. Now, the Paris-born DJ is heavily involved in what he describes as “an exciting bass/dub/reggae scene” in the city of Dublin. So while listening to Gilles Peterson his radio show all of the sudden he dropped a remix of Nina Becker’s “Do Avesso” done by the tireless music globe-trotter DJ iZem. As a DJ he’s eager to…Read More »

Debilorithmicos ft Sid Po...

I think 3 years ago we received an New Years card from our homey Lukasz Polowczyk from 44Flavours. Ever since then we consider him a good friend of ours, although we never have met. I think he’s one of the few who actually knows my name and is interested in what we’re doing. So when a couple of days ago I received another…Read More »
