Conceptual black and white photography portrait by Derren Versoza

Derren Versoza is a 22 year old (1989) technical engineering major hailing from Riverside, California. Photography is one of his hobby’s, and one he became damn good at. His portfolio consists out of conceptual/fashion portraits which are completed by shallow depths of fields and great post-processing. I’m sure that Derren’s skills will mature and progress even more over time, so keep an eye out for this young creative talent.

The creative process started little over two years ago, when Derren first picked up a camera….Read More »

Graffiti of defending soldier, Serbia
Graffiti artist Master is from a part of the world where the talents are still quite undiscovered in this modern day and age: Belgrade, Serbia. But as we see and hear from Master, we ought to have a look into the graffiti and street art scene of Serbia soon. Master himself has been doing graffiti from ’97, and now creates posters, stencils and murals. I’m especially impressed by the murals which are always site-specific work, reacting on how the history of an environment has…Read More »

Graffiti / Street art portrait by Centina, Italy
Browsing through Flickr on a rainy day, I was instantly awed by the beautiful work of street / graffiti artist Centina. Hailing from Parma in Italy, Centina is a carpenter, a regular street art misfit and a self-proclaimed ‘bite-proof animal’ (don’t ask). Anyway, there’s definitely a lot of love for painting shining through in his works that varies from amazingly shaded portraits in abandoned factories to fire-extinguisher demolition next to the highway. Instead of spray-cans, Centina prefers brushes and water colours to make his…Read More »

Dara Scully - Little Dreamers birdcage
The pictures of 22 year old Spanish photographer Dara Scully are just full of imagination! Dara is not just a photographer; she’s a storyteller (and self-proclaimed elephant tamer) who uses different techniques to bring her stories to live. She mixes fantasy with reality seamlessly and turns every picture into a dream, hence the title ‘little dreamers’ for her latest series. Dara: ” ‘Little dreamers’ is about your inside child. About turning the imaginary into real, about imaginary friends and their laughter in the kitchen. It…Read More »

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 »

Bill gates stencil art portrait by Orticanoodles
There is nothing like the amazing cuts of stencil art ninja’s Orticanoodles! The Italian duo consisting out of Wally and Alita are definitely amongst the top stencil artists in the world. With their original style and continues re-inventing of themselves and the stencil art technique, I have been amazed by them for quite a while. Actually, since I first laid eyes on their work during the Paint & Beer festival in 2008. The latest series of Orticanoodles…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 »

Photographing graffiti is not an easy task. That a picture contains amazing artworks is not enough to make it a great photo as well, which is proven by many artists who take shit photos of their great pieces on a daily basis (with an exception here or there). Luckily Leo, better known as Startape on Flickr, is someone who knows how it is done. His graffiti photography ranges from the cleanest, sharpest pictures to a more artistic take with selected colors and HDR techniques. The…Read More »
