My name is Lubabetu Abubakar or just ‘Lubee’, 19 year old Nigerian girl, currently studying Law at Durham University.

Technically, I started photography almost a year ago but i like to believe I started since i was much younger, I just didn’t know how to ‘vomit’ the mental pictures in my head.  Photography for me is a language; it’s not just about telling a story, it’s important to me that the person at the receiving end feels something too; no matter how little or short…Read More »

Route 66 is that all-American Mecca for travellers across the globe. The idea of roaming these roads in a sluggish American car and enjoying all the greatness that the States have to offer, appeals to people worldwide. So is it all bigger in the States? Our good friend and talented photographer Richard Terborg and his equally talented girlfriend, designer/illustrator Karin van de Kuilen  followed their dream to find out! With much pleasure I present you with…Read More »

Parliament, Budapest, 2010 by http://akosmajor.com/
He is from Budapest and has a name to remember if you feel like stopping the time and stepping away from the fast-paced and busy surroundings we live in. Akos Major is a landscape photographer who uses his photographs as a kind of meditation. Shooting both deserted and urban places with a unique perspective and a crisp intensity despite the overcast weather, he manages to conduct a sense of appeasement in us – like a real therapy. We caught up with Akos for quick chat…Read More »

Inspiring photography is often sparked by thinking about and seeing compositions that other don’t. This is why architecture and photography go together so well; it teaches to see lines, converging points, etc. which work great in photography. A good example of this is architect and photographer Matteo Bucciol, living in Padua, Italy. Matteo graduated at the University of Venice in 2011 and now works in the field of sustainable energy. He grew up with the photography of his father, who is very technical. Matteo is…Read More »

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
At times you just don’t have enough information in one picture. Canadian photographer / painter Jonathan Dy must have thought so as he found out new ways to incorporate information into his photographs in form of multi-flash and reflection pictures. Of course, both techniques aren’t new but the way Jonathan has perfected them is impressive, to say the least! I was born in Windsor, ON where I went to school for painting.  In 2005 I moved to Vancouver, BC and taught myself how to use…Read More »

Conceptual / documentary photographer Anne Barlinckhoff is a young, raw and energetic talent based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For her latest series she worked together with one of my favourite and most elusive street artists in Amsterdam: Laser 3.14. The poetic writings of Laser are to be found all over the city and his solo-shows never cease to amaze. But even though he’s very present in Amsterdam, few get to know Laser’s true face. This forces most people to form their opinion sole over…Read More »

Works from Corinne Vionnet
When I first saw this series of Corinne Vionnet I thought it was consisted by paintings. It was a big surprise when, checking more carefully, I found out that these incredible images are, in reality, photographs. This fact changed my whole perception of the work, bringing me ideas of how we can be affected by places. In this case, touristic places. Vionnet used the photographic technique to make us think, artistically. Why are we fascinated by these sites? Is it because they are really enchanting…Read More »

The name Terry O’ Neill might ring a bell with you all. The legendary celebrity photographer has had everyone who was anyone in the 60′s and 70′s in front of his camera. Brigitte Bardot, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Audrey Hepburne, Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood and many more iconic names have been immortalized by Terry, resulting in picturs that are at least as iconic and familair as the models. The Rook & Raven Gallery in London organized an amazing show based on Terry’s work….Read More »
