Ryan Harding is a filmmaker and photographer who recently graduated as a cinematographer. To be honest I totally forgot how we got in contact with him. Due to that thing called life it took quite a while to conduct the interview. I had to leave my apartment  find a new one and decorate the new found cave. Thankfully Ryan is a good spirited guy who gave me some slack!

I hold a rather useless film degree from a well respected arts university. I say useless because…Read More »

UNapproved - Stencil art by CodeFC in Eelam, Sri-Lanka
Our friend CodeFC is a frequent visitor of South-East Asia. We’ve seen some nice works Code made in that area, but none as striking as his most recent series in Sri Lanka. I think most of you know that there has been a civil war waging in Sri Lanka between the government and the Tamil Tigers since the early 80’s. In 2009, the Tigers were defeated by the military and ever since we haven’t heard…Read More »

Malasyan photographer Dani Irwan has viewed all kinds of impressive scenes! This one might seem odd but I can assure you that no harm was done to this kid. The picture is taken during Thaipusam, a Hindu festival mostly celebrated by Tamil people during the month of the full moon (January / February). Dani: Apparently not all of the attendees at Thaipusam are Tamils. A child having his head shaved bald under the watchful gaze of his (very) fair-skinned mother.

Luke Byrne (coolhandluke) is a photographer I personally really look up to. He’s one half of creative duo SPR/PPL out of Sydney, Australia. Working in art direction, photography, film and shooting images for the fashion & music industries. Not only does al of his work looks like the Blue Lagoon jizzed all over it, his images captures the spirit of adventure and good times. Hopefully in the near future we will conduct an interview the the man himself, so you can get…Read More »

devotee
“An indian man i shot during the fire walking festival in Singapore. He was getting really ecstasy that he starts to lie on the floor. Still not knowing why did he do that among the devotees. I quickly took picture of him spreading out his arm on the ground that was spread with turmeric powder.” - rickygck

“Trained at FIT for Toy Design and though I work professionally all day with toys, my true passion is photo making. I carry a camera at all times, and days I don’t, I fear for what I may miss in the streets of Brooklyn, Newark and Mastic. My portfolio relies heavily on the many travels I have taken.” - Johnny Panessa

I’m in love with the sparklink works of Taiwanese photographer Wang Chien Yang. He recently graduated from the National Taiwan University of Arts and his images (particularly those from his new project “House” as shown here) are so full of life and joy that it can only bring a big smile to your face! “I am now working on creative photography, also enjoy taking photo of beauty, portrait and dance performance. My dream is to travel around the world…Read More »

If I had to describe Tang Chan’s work in one word I would say: distance. Even though she shoots portraits most of the time, there is a certain space between the viewer and the subject in her work. I stumbled upon her through a shuttercrack submission and fell instantley in love with her portfolio. You can see her work in real life at the CFYE “Spirit Level” exposition in Amsterdam during this month. Now first a interview with the great Tang herself. …Read More »

Her photos speak louder then any interview could do, cause her thoughts are allready deeply embedded in the chemicals of the movie stills like polaroids. Inverselive shows us that your work must do the talking, and we couldn’t agree more with the photographer from Taipei, Tawain. The answers in this interview are almost redundant but yet shows us the minimalistic introvert spirit of the far east. Be amazed…we are! Who’s the person behind the photos? Most of them are my friends What got you…Read More »
