Read MoreBased in Montreal – Canada, Jon Estwards‘ photography is experimental, surreal and artistic in its own way using layers of multiple exposures or obfuscation and casting a sense of ambiguity, sometimes even intriguing eeriness. Inspiration to him is basically anything that has no previous connection to anything he has ever seen before. “ I’m a self-taught visual artist currently working mostly with Polaroid and fibers. I’m in the process of making my own sets/costumes/props/masks etc to use in my photos. I’m hoping to start doing video work soon. I’m 22 and living in Montreal....
Read More“ My friendship with Photography started when I was 5 years old. My father gave me a toy film camera and I took my first photo. I didn’t know how to look at it. Father took my camera, opened it, took out a cassette and went away into the darkness. He was a great magician. He could take a film and make a picture. I grew up, the magic became a reality and I learned the great art of developing films and printing pictures in the darkroom. I made many photos for my family. I was sick with photography. I decided to purchase my first serious digital camera in 2005. It was a 300D. New doors opened. I began walking around with the camera in my hand, trying to...

Read MoreLee Jeffries lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom. Close to the professional football circle, this artist starts to photograph sporting events.

Read MoreSolarixx is a great Argentinean photographer slapping reality as a constant challenge using her “psyche” to shape her free expression which can slash the eyes of the observer. She is not conventional, as an artist and a human being, far away from the limits imposed by academic trends and remaining faithful to her own unconditional dynamics. With no data about herself, Solarixx is an invisible being that can only be expressed through her creations “stamping” most of them with her self-portraiture. She is an artist marked by the dark zone that melts between the obscure ambient harder sounds although with an occasional incursion of more...

Read More“ My name is Carmelo Eramo, I’m a primary school teacher and a street and reportage photographer. I live in the South of Italy and I think this influences deeply my photographic vision and style. I love to photograph and tell my land, where the more dazzling is the sunlight, the darker are the shadows, which is not simply an aesthetical question. So, as Ferdinando Scianna said, “the South’s pictures, took by the southern photographers, are black”: it’s a question more existential and psychological than stylistic. “ For more black and white street...
Read More” I’m a self taught photographer who loves dreaming away and listening to love stories. I live in my own imaginary world. Sometimes, I go out to the real world too. But I don’t like it there so most of the time I’m hiding out in my fantasy. I’m so happy I discovered photography when I started to work as a model scout. Amongst some great models, I’ve discovered Frida Gustavsson who now is one of the most booked models in the world. I dream about living by the ocean in a small house with heart-shaped windows, having photography exhibitions, making new interesting collaborations, helping people to follow their hearts, to never give...
Read More“It may sound like a cliche, but street photography literally changed my life when I discovered it a few years ago. First, as an admirer of other people’s work, then as a practitioner myself, it taught me to look at the world differently – to truly observe what is around me, to find inspiration in the everyday, to consider how we interact with our environment. On top of that, I love the fact that every time I go out with my camera I have no idea what I am going to photograph, but that there’s always a possibility I might catch something special.” ~ Tom...
