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 »
Documentary / fine art photographer Nick Pironio, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, sent us some amazing photography the other day. Although the series he saw fit for us were good (‘last night’ & ‘Laura’), we personally favoured some of his other pictures. In his impressive photography portfolio we found striking portraits from barbershop college students, urban chicken ‘farmers’ and former U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate in 2008; John Edwards. With more interesting concepts and projects on…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 »
There are great things happening in Brazil! Our good friend Gui Chirst (interview here) will have a major exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, based on stunning series ‘Hoje é dia de folia’. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be right! In 2010 we did an exhibition in Amsterdam called ‘CFYE at the Wise Men Revelry’ based on the same series from Gui. Now it’s time for Rio…Read More »
We’ve received another great photography submission, this time from Pascal Felloneau. Pascal has been shooting a surprising series about the capital of Iceland: Reykjavik. These pictures show you a day to day life (and color coordination) that’s way more than packs of snow.
About Pascal: Pascal Felloneeau is a Parisian, self-thaught photographer picked up a camera at the age of 16 and started shooting again when living in Iceland, 2003. Since then Pascal started to sell images to magazines on a regular basis. In 2005…Read More »
Photographer Matteo Musci has been born and raised in Milan, Italy. In the late 90′s Matteo worked as an art-director at a big ad-agency and after a few years he began shooting as a professional photographer and founded Zona13 studio. As a photographer for Zona13 Matteo has worked all over Europe for a notable amount of ad agencies. Like most people working in advertising though, he eventually got tired of doing things in taste of the client. In 2010…Read More »
Wherever there are waves, there are surfers. Wherever there are surfers, there’s that blonde dreadlock’d middle-aged dude that still has the body of a young god. And what a surprise, he’s also there in the beautiful on-going photo-serie of the surfer’s journey by Australian based Jonathan van der Knaap. Jonathan hails from Adelaide, Australia. Indeed, van der Knaap is a Dutch name as his father’s side of the family was from our little country. Since no-one but the Dutch can pronounce the name, Jonathan…Read More »
