Giulia Bersani was a child when she first enjoyed the analog photography world. Ever since then, she captures intimate, innocent and melancholic photos. When I first saw her images it was hard for me to imagine such a delicate and quite mature work, approaching subjects as love, intimacy and beauty. […]
Sara Pongrac, Romanian self-taught photographer based in Cluj-Napoca, made a new series of photographs depicting the intimate routine of her close friends. Characterized by the same blue flavour she previously caught our eyes with, Sara proceeds to continue her ongoing project – Blue Project / Kenopsia. Her new series delivers […]

Rebellion sells and so does sex, so why don’t mix these two for a greater impact; yeah, these photos are beautifully majestic, daring and provoking. Actually, do we ever get sick of seeing how well teens do rave culture? I found myself staring at b.ela‘s (Isabela Garcia) kinky collection for […]

After a first listen, the experimental, alternative album, gave me a good, optimistic vibe, suitable for a […]
